Our story
Luis Fuentes, Owner-Operator
My interest in the outdoors began at a very young age. When Saturday mornings came, I remember immediately following my mom & dad outside and helping around the yard in any way I could. Whether it was carrying tiny branches to the trash or “pushing” the lawnmower all by myself, working outside sparked joy in me that I still feel to this day.
As I got a little older I was excited to visit job sites with my dad. For over 20 years my dad worked for a custom home landscape contractor. I went to work with my dad on the weekends to help load wheelbarrows with mulch for the crews. I can proudly say that even as a kid I contributed to many residential landscape projects in The Woodlands, Gleannloch Farms and surrounding areas. I was a teenager when my dad decided to start his own business. I was excited because I saw it as an opportunity to contribute all I could to the new family business.
While always helping my dad with his business, I was fortunate to hold positions in the Houston Zoo's Horticulture department, as well as management for the nation's largest landscape company that allowed me to further expand my knowledge.
I always had a desire in the back of my mind to create my own lawn and landscape company. In 2015, I moved to Klein, TX and after so many years of being in & around the green industry I took a leap of faith and created my own business in my new community.
At Lawns & Landscapes, we have a few fundamental beliefs that guide how we operate, conduct business, and deliver the final product at your home. We strive to be more than just your average Joe with a lawnmower in the back of a truck.
Over the years what began as a young kid’s interest has turned into my career. I love working outdoors, the smell of fresh-cut grass & mulch, and above all, helping customers with their lawn and landscape needs. I continue to help my dad with his business, this time in exchange for help with mine.
When I'm not busy maintaining landscapes, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing with my daughter who also loves the outdoors.
