Who We Are
Landcraft is a family owned business whose passion and experience is derived from our love of the outdoors. We are passionate problem solvers with expertise in the horticulture and construction field. The idea for Landcraft transformed out of a need I saw to get people to understand the value of well designed landscapes as they relate to the quality of life, home, community and environment..
We Look forward to working with you!
Peter Hinrichs (Owner):
My philosophy has evolved out of my life’s experiences of being exposed to many aspects of culture and the environment, from exploring the forests of northern Wisconsin to the formal gardens of my childhood home. I found my passion for plants through my mother and my excitement for exploring from my father, as our family took many trips to urban and rural areas, museums and botanical gardens. The values I learned from these experiences have defined my work and life.
I first started working in the field at the age of 10 pulling weeds and tending perennial gardens for family friends which led to the responsibility of a summer job at the age of 12 maintaining the grounds of an apartment complex.
These experiences culminated at the age of 20 when I gained an apprenticeship with a landscape design and build company in New Hampshire. My life came full circle and I returned to the University of Massachusetts in Amherst to earn my bachelors degree in landscape architecture. This degree has led to a diverse and rewarding career which has encompassed horticulture, landscape architecture, construction and the education of people of all backgrounds and ages through these disciplines.
