Childs Landscape Contractors

What Childs Landscape Contractors does

Childs Landscape Contractors, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned commercial landscape construction and maintenance firm founded in 1976 and headquartered at 491 College Parkway in Arnold, Maryland. The company provides end-to-end commercial landscaping services across four Mid-Atlantic states (Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania), including landscape installation and design, grounds maintenance, hardscape installation and maintenance, stabilization and erosion control, stormwater management, environmental restoration, irrigation design/installation/repair, and seasonal commercial snow removal. It serves large enterprise customers including general contractors (ARCO Design Build, Mackenzie, Chesapeake, BGC, Hopkins & Wyson, Reliable), commercial investors, property management groups, government and municipal facilities, retail and mixed-use developers, logistics and warehouse operators, and community/parks clients. The firm holds a notable industry credential as the installer of the largest LEED-certified project in the United States.

The business operates through an enterprise field sales model with project-based and recurring revenue streams. Installation, hardscape, specialty, and environmental services are billed on a custom project/quote basis (professional services), while grounds maintenance and snow removal provide recurring, subscription-like revenue from established client relationships. Pricing is bid-driven and not publicly disclosed. The company is owned and operated by the Redmon family: Chris Redmon serves as CEO-Owner and Cole Redmon as CFO-Owner following Harry Redmon's 2023 retirement from the CEO and 100% stockholder role; Harry Redmon remains Chairman of the Board. There is no external institutional ownership, no funding activity, no M&A history, and no disclosed financials in the available data. Growth is organic, supported by active hiring across estimating, project management, and technical field roles.
