ith over 25 years of combined experience, Carmen and Luis Uribe are the proud and passionate owners of the landscape and maintenance company A Greener Tomorrow, Inc. They have been offering a full range of landscaping and outdoor living services to Los Angeles County residents and businesses for more than 15 years. This landscape design duo is clear about their goal: to beautify the community as much as they can with a business grounded by a hard work ethic, extensive industry knowledge and a constant commitment to quality and professionalism. Carmen and Luis are living their dream by
designing, creating and caring for the kind of beautiful lawns and properties they have always envisioned. “We love what we do, and it’s not even a job to us,” says Carmen. Besides the clear passion they have for their work, there are several elements that set them apart.
after. At the time, they were both in the gardening business; Luis was working with his dad and Carmen was an employee at Albertsons in the floral department. Eventually, when Luis’s father retired, Carmen started working with Luis. Then in 2006, they reinvented the company from the ground up, taking it to the next level. With their new company, A Greener Tomorrow Inc. in place, Luis became a professional c27 licensed landscaper and Carmen completed a professional landscape design degree.
Strong Family Dynamic With their roots in family, Carmen and Luis still prioritize family in their business today. They are a family of landscape architects— their daughter just became a landscape architect, and their one son is studying in the field as well. Their other son also works for the company handling logistics.
Family History in the Field Some might say that landscaping is in their genes. Both Carmen and Luis were born into families working in the gardening industry. They even met among greenery when Carmen accompanied her father on a supply run at a nursery that happened to belong to Luis’s brother. That special encounter sparked a connection, and they were married soon “This is what our parents did. Now our three kids are involved. Everyone does their part. We truly are a family business.” While they do contract out for certain projects like pool installation, in general, all family members have a say in each project. “We all share our points of view. We try to cover every little detail within our small team. The best part is when a project comes to life and we see it happen,” says Carmen.
Full Range of Services Another distinction of the company is the all-encompassing work they provide. Carmen notes, “It’s a one-stop-shop from the point the client decides they want to upgrade their landscape.”
