Mike Ciccarelli
PLA, LEED AP
Principal

From his early days at a garden center at the age of 13, through high school design classes, to summers spent working on landscape construction crews while attending Purdue, Mike's path has been deeply rooted in plants and design. Strategic thinking is his hallmark, and that fervor for plants and design propels him into the field daily. As the Principal leading our Continued Landscape Management team, Mike collaborates closely with clients to tailor maintenance plans and provide oversight and guidance to safeguard the financial and emotional investments they've made to their landscapes.

Drawing upon over 18 years of experience with Hoerr Schaudt's Siteworks team, Mike has played a pivotal role in the inception and growth of the firm's Continued Landscape Management group in recent years. He is Hoerr Schaudt’s leading steward of evolving gardens, embracing the dynamic nature of landscapes, recognizing their growth, dormancy, and resilience in the face of time and wear. This role has him traveling from site to site often, ensuring the well-being of our clients’ gardens and identifying areas for improvement. Mike is quickly emerging as a key influencer on our team, capturing captivating photos and videos of our projects – follow along on Instagram @michael_f_ciccarelli.

Mike's guiding touch extends beyond landscapes too— as a persuasive sportsman, he is known for motivating even the most dedicated couch potatoes to run races, play golf, or (at the very least) draft a fantasy football team.
