Meet the Kirby landscaping team!
Charles Kirby Jr.
President
Since mowing lawns to pay for Ag. school in his early 20’s, customer satisfaction has always been Charles’ top priority. In fact, he prioritizes such a high standard of customer services that many of his original customers are still with us even 20 years later!
“Kirby’s does such a good job and always cares about the final product” is a common phrase from our customers. Charles strives for Kirby’s to be the best, most reliable landscaping company in the Richmond area. When Charles isn’t designing outdoor living spaces and going above and beyond for customers (he has changed attic light bulbs while meeting to discuss a patio project!), he enjoys attending football games with his daughter, at Liberty University and fishing with his youngest daughter.

Candace Kirby
​
Office Manager
Charles and Candace met line dancing at a local spot in the late 90’s and ever since Charles won her heart, Candace has been an essential part of Kirby’s Landscaping. When Candace isn’t at the office she can be found running, running, and running. She’s an avid marathon enthusiast and has completed 17 marathons! She loves spending time with her kids and taking long evening strolls with the family dog, Maple.
Chris Wheeler
​
Landscape Designer
With over 30 years of experience, Chris is uniquely qualified to handle all of your design needs. Upon graduating from North Carolina State in 1989 he spent 20+ years beautifying homes in the Tidewater area. After a brief hiatus in designing in New England, he is overjoyed to be back south in Virginia where he can once again use some of his favorite plants to create beautiful designs! Chris strives to go "above and beyond" when it comes to both design and customer satisfaction. When he is not working at Kirby's, he enjoys spending time with his family, exercising, playing frisbee golf, and heading to Raleigh to watch his beloved Wolfpack.
Michele Kirby​
​
Operations Coordinator
Michele started working for Kirby’s Landscaping in November 2021 and is the voice behind the smile when you call into Kirby’s Landscaping. After a 28 year career in insurance, Michele says what she enjoys most about her transition to Kirby's Landscaping is working in a friendly office environment where everyone is helpful and ready to step in when help is needed.
​
Michele’s primary focus is to provide an exceptional customer experience for our clients. She takes great pride in developing long term customer relationships which results in happy clients who call on Kirby's for repeat work.

Ruby
​
Boss Hound Dog
Ruby can be found at the Kirby's office everyday! Even when she doesn't get a ride to work, she'll make her way through the field and bring herself to work. She loves to come to work, get treats, check in with all the employees and then find a soft spot in the yard for a warm nap.
Sweet Ruby crossed the rainbow bridge in October of 2023. She left a huge impact on us all .
