Chris Reid brings 20 years of hands-on horticulture experience, from LEED-certified university campuses to Chicagoland backyards. This is landscaping with genuine craft behind it.
Chris Reid started at the ground level and worked his way up through two decades of hands-on landscaping and horticultural work, from managing 1,150 acres of LEED-certified campus grounds at UC San Diego to overseeing multi-state drought-response turf conversions in Southern California.
He reads soil, not just grass. He interprets Logan Labs test results, builds custom irrigation zone maps, and designs with Realtime Landscaping Pro, bringing professional-grade knowledge to every Elmhurst yard he touches.

Beyond his professional work, Chris served as leader of the Garden Club at Jackson Elementary School in Elmhurst — bringing hands-on horticulture education to students from 1st through 5th grade.
From seed to harvest, he guided kids through the Soil Food Web, companion planting, the Three Sisters method, and beneficial herb gardens. The same principles that shaped those lessons continue to inform every Reidscapes project today.
