THE WIMBERG TEAM

Peter Wimberg

President

Peter started mowing lawns and doing a variety of gardening jobs for neighbors in the early 1970’s. After obtaining a degree in Finance from Xavier University in 1984 he decided to take his already established business to the next level. After 28 plus years in both the management and sales side of the business, Peter has moved to just the management side. Peter believes that working on the business as opposed to in the business has allowed the company to better serve its clients and provide better opportunities for its employees. Learn more about Pete, his gardens and his theory on garden design, here.

Hobbies: Gardening, hiking, photography, music, cycling, and Xavier basketball

John Wimberg

Vice President

John has been with the company since its beginning, mowing lawns around the Wimberg home on Menlo Avenue starting in the late 70’s.

Karen Davis

Karen Davis is the welcoming voice you hear when you call our offices and most likely the first person to greet you when you visit in person. A naturally gracious hostess, Karen embodies what we have long strived for at Wimberg Landscaping: a personal touch to all we do. An avid gardener, Karen first made her acquaintance with us as she was touring the gardens here, at our new office complex. The opportunity to work near her home and gardens while helping us promote native and pollinator gardening methods was an opportunity she could not resist.

Hobbies: She is a hiker, scuba diver, snow and water skier, and a passionate aviator. Karen loves to spend time with her daughters and granddaughters (whenever they visit) and being in the great outdoors with her husband. She is also an avid homebody with a semi-off-grid lifestyle. Her dogs, chickens, and turkeys keep her busy along with breadmaking, cooking, canning, and gardening. History, art, and music are also enjoyed by this nature-loving granny who never has enough hours in the day. Joining the Wimberg family has proven to be the perfect balance between work and her love of gardening.
