Kelly Carmouche joined our team in 2012. Before coming to work for us, he graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree in Landscape Architecture and spent eight years working for well-known landscape architecture and design firms, including SWA Group.
The combination of Kelly’s education and experience has proven to be invaluable to our company. His tenure at landscape architecture firms enables him to tackle hardscape installation challenges through his ability to envision the landscape architect’s intent, while also identifying what obstacles need to be worked through in the field in a cost-effective way.
As Vice President, Kelly provides guidance and input to other project managers on our team with the goal of helping every client achieve a quality outdoor solution. His ability to address issues before they arise and problem-solve are bar none.
“Think Outside means taking a step back and really assessing what the real issue is. I don’t think it’s coming up with a crazy idea that no one has thought of, more of finding the root of the problem. What’s the real underlying issue here? You could make the work easier or prevent an issue from coming up down the road just by taking the time to find the root problem. If you have a leaky roof, you don’t just buy some patch to cover it up. Let’s really dive in - what’s the issue? Stopping and really thinking about the problem and coming up with a solution is thinking outside.”
To be a reliable source for problem solving. It’s not having expert knowledge of something. It’s someone that is able to find that answer or solution. I can reach out to someone who is a specialist in their field. You didn’t ask me to do it, you just asked me to find a solution. The more important word is reliable. I can ask this person to do something knowing they will follow through and do it.
