Meet The Firm
Carolina Landscape was established in 1958 when Harold Wade purchased the landscape contracting division from Carolina Floral Nursery in Berkeley County. His son, Derek, joined the company in 1991 and has been acting principle until the recent sale of the company to Erik and Sara Engstrom in 2017. The Engstrom’s have been a part of the Carolina Landscape family since 2011 and are looking forward to continually building upon the wonderful legacy the Wade family has started.
