In 1980, after graduating from Allegany College in western Maryland with an Associate in Arts Degree in Forest Technology, Steve went to work for the U.S. Forest Service in Dillon, Montana. In 1983 he moved to Bozeman to attend MSU where he graduated with a BS in Animal Science Beef Production Management. Karen graduated from Montana State University in 1991 with a BS in Business Management and worked as a production planner for The Quaker Oats Company in Iowa before moving back to Bozeman. Steve and Karen were married in 1995 and have two children, Rebecca 14 and Nate 12 who attend Petra Academy, a classical Christian school.



Mayville Landscaping was started by Steve and Karen in 1996 as a small company. Over the past 14 years the goal was not to be the biggest but to be considered among the best in our market.

With that philosophy Mayville Landscaping has grown into a full service design/ build Landscape Construction Company. Our goal from the beginning was to take inspiration from the natural beauty of Montana’s surroundings. Taking this inspiration from natural elements such as river bottoms and mountain meadows we incorporate these elements back into the setting of the structure. Our other principal directive is to provide a superior product through the use of high quality material and installation. The combination of creative design, quality and a desire to deliver a finished product that exceeds the expectation of the client has allowed us to work on challenging and rewarding projects with some of the finest builders and architects in Montana.

Working primarily in new construction, we have worked on projects in the Paradise Valley, Moonlight Basin, Spanish Peaks, The Yellowstone Club, Gallatin Valley, Beehive Basin and Ennis, Montana.
