Tom Lupfer, founder of Lupfer Landscaping, was born and raised in Western Springs, Illinois. He attended Northwestern University where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree. After spending the next three years in the political arena, and finding little satisfaction in the work, He decided to return to his roots... landscaping. His lifelong experience in the industry gave him the knowledge necessary to start Lupfer Landscaping in 1994.

In 2007, he received his PLANET Certified Landscape Technician’s certificate; a nationally recognized standard of excellence.
