Erin Neal's Bio

I grew up in Harford County on a farm, where our landlord would take my brother and I on nature walks to teach us the joys of nature and our surroundings. I also spent a lot of time with my grandparents, who all enjoyed gardening, planting the seed that would bring me to the landscape industry.

My landscaping career began straight out of high school, working with Foxborough Landscaping. I then furthered my love of the outdoors while attending Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin; studying Outdoor Education.

After several years out of the industry, I was drawn back in when I joined TDH Nurseries and Landscaping in 2006. During my thirteen years with TDH, I gained my PFA and Applicators licenses while supervising crews and the production office staff.

My career then took me to North Carolina, where I concentrated on learning as much about irrigation as possible. Once back in Maryland, I moved into distribution of landscape supplies and took the time to advance my knowledge of agronomics, lighting and irrigation. As time wore on, I knew I needed to be back in the field, where I could interact with crews and get my hands dirty once again.

In my off time, I enjoy spending time in my gardens, playing disc golf and traveling with my husband and daughter.

Rob Humphreys's Bio

Born in Baltimore City and raised in Rogers Forge, Rob is a lifelong resident of the Baltimore area.

His earliest exposure to ornamental gardening came during a grade school field trip to Sherwood Gardens to see the tulips — an experience that still reminds him of Candyland.

After returning to college and graduating from Towson State University, Rob decided on a career change and applied for a crew position at Pinehurst Landscape Company, where he worked from 1997 until 2004.

It was there that Rob developed a love for the Green Industry and horticulture, mentored and encouraged by Corey Branch, Wink Rupprecht, Donny Mosby and Fred Weidel. While working on a crew during the day, he attended evening horticulture classes at CCBC and earned certification as a Certified Professional Horticulturist.

For the next nineteen years, Rob worked at Mullan Nursery Company as a foreman, gaining hands-on experience with grading and drainage, low-voltage lighting and holiday lighting and décor. When Pinehurst acquired the company, he returned to familiar roots — and is thrilled to be part of such a wonderful team once again.
