Owners and Key Personnel

Robert W. (Bob) Behrer, the founder of Robert W. Behrer Landscaping, was raised on farms until his graduation from high school. He started the business in 1957, after being introduced to several clients by the superintendent of the Penn State Golf Course. Through hard work and a reputation that spread through word of mouth, the business began to grow. Bob operated the business on a part-time basis while still employed by Penn State, and eventually left the University in 1967 to operate the company full-time, providing for his family and employees.

Kirk W. Behrer, Bob's son, grew up with the business and started working for the company at a very young age. He studied landscape architecture under the guidance of his high school instructor, E. Lynn Miller, and Jim DeTuerk. Kirk attended Penn State University's two-year Turf Grass Management Program and has been working in the company ever since. He is involved in most aspects of management, with primary emphasis on landscape design, materials acquisition, lawn care and estimating. Kirk holds a Pesticide License in Category 7 - Turf, and is ICPI and NCMA-SRW certified.

Lorrie K. Behrer, Bob's wife, has been the office manager since their marriage, greeting customers on the phone, doing book work, and preparing letters, proposals, and other miscellaneous office tasks.

Greg began working for our firm in the early spring of 1981. He is a hard-working, skilled and innovated individual, and his dedication to our company and clients through the many years in good and difficult times is greatly appreciated. Greg has a Pesticide License in Category 7 - Turf, and is ICPI and NCMA-SRW certified.

Chris grew up and worked in a family business where he was instilled with a strong, courteous and dependable work ethic. He is a valued employee who is versatile in performing many of the services our firm provides, and takes a special interest in hardscaping.

Ken is very helpful in all phases of work we provide. One of his main responsibilities is assisting in lawn-care operations. He is dependable, accommodating, dedicated and always willing to help out whenever needed.

Nathan recently began working at our firm and comes from an agricultural background. We are pleased to have him with us as he learns and becomes more familiar with our operation.

Jeff started this spring (2015) and comes with thirty years of landscaping experience. There isn't anything that he cannot do.
