Chris Hunt

Chris Hunt started HuntScapes over 35 years ago as a hobby while in high school. He continued this work while also employed at NC State University Forestry department as a forestry engineer. Over the years, HuntScapes grew to become the leader of commercial and residential maintenance with over 40 crew members. Chris is licensed by the State as a Landscape Contractor and Qualified Pesticide Applicator. He is also a Certified Landscape Professional, Certified Landscape Irrigation Contractor and a state Licensed Plumber.

He and his wife, Arnella, live in Raleigh with their two sons but spend most of their free time at the beach. He is passionate about fishing, ATV Racing, and traveling with Chevy the Labrador retriever. Additionally, they are known locally for having a strawberry farm called, Hunts Strawberries. The strawberry farm is a local favorite and is a small way to show the community their love for agriculture on a personal level.

These are the words that companies say every day about their products or services. You will hear them at HuntScapes, too. And when you do – we stand behind it.

What we’d like you to know is this: we did not just hang our sign up, mow some lawns and call ourselves landscape experts. HuntScapes is the BMW of landscaping. We’ve got the knowledge and the experience that people expect a landscaping company to possess. We proudly serve a large variety of clients ranging from $500, one-day projects to $2 million commercial design and build jobs that require landscape architects and engineering expertise.

And we treat every job, large or small, with the same attention to excellence. When you work with us, you will enter and experience a new dimension of design, build and maintaining a landscape.
