Meet Our Team

C. Fred Peratt

President

Bachelor of Science Agriculture University of Arkansas
Certified Professional Horticulturist – Maryland
Certified Chemical Applicator – Virginia

Fred is a partner in a landscape management team that is capable of handling all aspects of landscaping, from expert and customer oriented design/build to detailed landscape management. His long interest in design and horticulture began in High School where he attended Stuttgart American High School, Stuttgart, Germany. Fred says, “The experience to touch and visualize the European art of landscape design was invaluable.” This helped Fred who was interested in Landscape Architecture to focus more on Urban Horticulture and Landscape Design at the University of Arkansas where he graduated in 1984.

After graduation Fred decided to move to the Washington DC metro area as job opportunities were a bit hard to find in Northern Arkansas. Fred has worked for several large landscape firms in the Northern Virginia area and has 23 plus years of industry experience focusing on high-end residential and commercial landscape management. Fred is well known in the Green Industry for his dedication to providing personalized service, enthusiasm for every project, respect for each client and their property, innovation, teamwork, and the highest standards of quality and workmanship. Fred is thoroughly involved in the business on a daily basis. He sells, he supervises work in progress, and he manages the administration... but most of all he mentors. Everyone on the EE, Inc. team is coached and immersed each day in the “EE, Inc. Philosophy”.

Fred lives in Leesburg, Virginia with his wife Diane and son, Shaun.

Kyle Thurman

Landscape Designer

BFA Design Arts Memphis College of Art
Masters of Professional Studies in Landscape Design, George Washington University

Kyle's interest in Landscape Design began with a love for art and an appreciation for nature. He grew up in Tennessee where his family taught him not only the facts about the plants, trees, and flowers that surrounded him, but also their inherent value and beauty. He holds a Bachelor's of Fine Arts from Memphis College of Art where he studied Graphic Design. There he was meticulously trained to make his ideas visible. After several years spent working as a Graphic Designer, he decided to return to his roots and passion, Landscape Design. He received his Masters in Landscape Design from George Washington University. While his passion is the art of Landscape Design, the completely satisfied client has become his greatest thrill. He loves helping people create a vision and he shares their joy when that vision comes to life.

Kyle currently lives in Burke, Virginia with his Basset Hound, Murphy.
