Our Management Team
Currie Bates
PRESIDENT
Born and raised in the Lowcountry, Currie is a Charleston, SC native with deep roots in the construction industry. Growing up, she was immersed in the world of building, with her father running a millwork and carpentry business and her grandfather working as an architect. It was a natural progression for her to find her own path in the industry. She discovered a passion for the art of construction and the satisfaction of creating something beautiful from the ground up. Today, Currie proudly owns Charleston Landscape, where she continues to uphold the legacy of this family-operated business.
There’s nothing I love more than seamlessly bringing a project to life for a client.
Nelvin Gonzalez
PROJECT MANAGER
Nelvin was born in Puerto Rico and joined the Charleston Landscape team in 2014. He started learning about landscaping at the young age of sixteen when he began working in the industry. Nelvin’s hard work and obvious dedication to clients helped him move through the company’s ranks quickly, and today, he supervises the construction division.
I’m proud to lead a team that delivers the projects our clients have envisioned.
Jesus Hernandez
Assistant Project Manager
Jesus joined Charleston Landscape in 2019 as a crew member and quickly advanced to crew leader. Demonstrating strong leadership and a drive to grow within the company, he was later promoted to Assistant Project Manager. Today, he works alongside Nelvin to oversee all of our project installations.
I enjoy being a part of a company that puts genuine care into every project it takes on.
Jenn Bunce
Estimator
Jenn brings years of diverse experience in the landscape industry, having held a wide range of roles across the field. Her sharp attention to detail ensures every project is complete and consistent before our crews ever step foot on the jobsite. With expertise in conceptual estimating, cost analysis, problem identification, and solution development, Jenn is an essential part of our team.
I’m committed to producing quotes that clients can trust – accurate, clear, and reliable.
In Loving Memory of Chris Reese
Founder, Charleston Landscape
Charleston Landscape exists today because of the passion, dedication, and vision of its founder, Chris Reese. In 2006, Chris brought his lifelong love of landscaping to Charleston and started what would become one of the Lowcountry’s most trusted names in outdoor design and maintenance.
Chris began his journey in landscaping at just 15 years old, working on a golf course where he fell in love with the craft of shaping beautiful, functional outdoor spaces. Over the years, he built Charleston Landscape from the ground up, guided by a deep commitment to hard work, integrity, and creating spaces that bring people joy.
Sadly, Chris passed away after a battle with cancer. His legacy, however, lives on through the team he inspired and the company he built. His niece, Currie Bates, has stepped in to carry forward the family business, honoring Chris’s values and vision every step of the way.
Today, Charleston Landscape continues to thrive with a dedicated team of 20 employees—each one driven by the same principles Chris instilled from day one. His spirit is woven into every project, and his impact will always be a part of who we are.
Forever grateful. Forever inspired. Thank you, Chris.
