ABOUT

Nelson Landscapes

Shari and Luke Nelson, Co-founders of Nelson Landscapes

​

We are a mother and son team who co-founded Nelson Landscapes. It all began in March 2020 during the pandemic. We had extra time on our hands and decided to make the most of it by helping friends and family with their landscaping needs.  We quickly realized how much we loved helping home and small business owners create outdoor spaces they enjoy.  We believe that everyone deserves beautiful spaces, no matter how small the project or the property.

Shari Nelson


I graduated from Kansas State University with an engineering degree. After a long career in supply chain at Hallmark Cards, I decided to take the leap and to pursue my passion of creating beauty and adding joy to peoples’ lives through landscaping. I grew up on a farm in north-central Kansas and am a lifelong lover of plants, gardening and getting my hands dirty. I am thrilled to work with my son, Luke, and build our business together. I also appreciate our amazing contract employees who provide their talent (and muscle!) during implementation. I continue to expand my knowledge and skills by taking Horticulture classes at JCCC and working toward my Native Plant Certification. I’d love to talk to you about how to transform your outdoor space!

Luke Nelson


As the co-owner of Nelson Landscapes, I provide strategic direction in marketing, finance, and operations.  I graduated from Kansas State University in 2024 with a B.S. in Finance and a minor in Spanish, which helps me bring both financial expertise and a creative approach to our work.  I lead many of the company's landscaping installations, with a special focus on hard scapes and play a key role in talent acquisition to ensure a skilled and dedicated team.  With a commitment to enhancing home value and helping clients enjoy their outdoor spaces, I find great fulfillment in transforming properties into personalized, welcoming environments.
