George began his career before he knew it, helping out in the family business, Superior Lawn Care which was started by his parents, George and Margaret Brown, in 1981. Many summers were spent alongside his father, learning the principles of building client relationships and the value of hard work. Eventually, George realized his passion for utilizing his creativity for problem solving to create a stunning landscape that could not only be appreciated by himself, but others as well.
Clearly determined on his future goals, George attended West Virginia University where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture. In order to fine tune his skills, George apprenticed at a Pittsburgh based landscape architect firm. After completing this apprenticeship, George passed the state licensure exam for landscape architecture.
Once George was a licensed landscape architect, he returned to the family business where he continued developing his hands-on approach to landscape design and construction. He branded his own division of the company, Superior Scapes Inc., until after several years he realized he wanted to focus solely on the design/build aspect of the business. In 2010, he decided to change the name from Superior Scapes Inc. to Brown Design Group. This name better suited his company’s talent and expertise as a landscape architecture and construction firm. Since then Brown Design Group has had the opportunity to work with some of the area's most discerning clients.
