  Marshall Wellman- Landscape Division Director
Marshall

Since Marshall joined Mickman Brothers in 1996 as a Landscape Designer, he has worked his way up 'through the ranks' and has been the Director of the Landscape Division for 7 years.

Under Marshall's excellent tutelage, our Landscape Division has grown to be recognized as the leader in the North Metro. In addition to being an excellent designer in his own right, Marshall has honed his division into a landscape firm that provides creative designs, professional installation and customer service that is second to none. Marshall is a 'the buck stops here' kind of supervisor that is able to get the job done right the first time and refuses to take any quality sacrificing shortcuts.

Marshall also devotes countless hours of volunteer effort to the Minnesota Nursery and Landscape Association (MNLA). He is in charge of the design/installation of MNLA's State Fair Exhibit, is on the Landscape Contracting Committee, and is an MNLA Certified Nurseryman.

Nate began his landscape career at a young age by working on installation crews and the parks department of his hometown in Wisconsin. In high school, he took landscape design classes and earned the National FFA Landscape Award.
