Meet Vladimir, Owner and Lead Installer

Vladimir is a civil engineer by training. He graduated from Bauman Moscow State Technical University in 2012, worked in construction for several years and started his first landscape firm in 2015. Today he runs Hortus-Flora LLC in Charlotte with a crew of three. That background shapes every job: grades, base depths and drainage are worked out before we choose the pavers. Vladimir draws each 3D model himself and stays on site through the build, so the person who plans your yard is the person who builds it.

Certified to Industry Standards

Vladimir is a CMHA ICP Certified Installer for interlocking concrete pavement. The Concrete Masonry & Hardscapes Association grants this credential to installers who document their paver installation experience and pass the certification exam.

For you, it means your patio or walkway is built on a base designed to hold up on Charlotte clay, with proper compaction and edge restraint, not just laid on a few inches of gravel.
