Bernie Mihm and former U.S. Army Ranger Joel Hafner of Fine Earth Landscape have racked up some 80 regional and national landscape awards during their careers. But they’re proudest of their long-term customer service.
“I have some of the same clients I worked for 30 years ago, now in their second or third house,” says Mihm, who started Fine Earth in 1977 while studying at the University of Maryland.
The Poolesville-based firm specializes in plantings, stonework, patios and waterfalls.
