ABOUT US

PATTI BERES

Owner

From an early childhood age, Patti discovered a profound connection to the delicate intricacy of the natural world. She fondly remembers time spent pressing an ear to a tree to hear its pulse, talking to flowers or attempting to be invisibly silent and still to witness the wondrous work of animals or insects in action. Witnessing the intertwined beauty and balance of nature developed her respect for the value and purpose of all life created which makes our earth thrive.

The humble beginnings of Be Green Pro LLC , formerly Be Green Lawn Care LLC, were a culmination of life long experiences in combination with recognition of a community need and a passion for people, pets, wildlife and the environment. Patti remembers walking through her neighborhood with her four children and two dogs late one February afternoon, and seeing a lawn care company making a fertilizer application when the ground was still frozen. Frustrated, she blurted out “If we had a lawn care company, we would do such a better job.” Her oldest son, Robbie, responded, “Then why don’t we?” Patti knew right away that we had the ability to be the change or become part of the problem, and Be Green Lawn Care was formed.

Patti continues to lead Be Green Pro with the same passion for life and the world she discovered early in life, relishing each new client and opportunity to make a difference.

ROBBIE BERES

Director of Business Development

Robbie is a co-owner and the inspiration of Be Green. It was Robbie who while traveling with Patti on the way home one day noticed a lawn care company spraying chemicals in less than ideal weather conditions. When Patti stated that we would do things so much differently, Robbie replied “why don’t we” and Be Green Pro was created. Since then Robbie has worked in all capacities of the business and has partnered with Patti to do things so. much. differently. "New studies are constantly being released correlating health issues with common lawn chemicals" Robbie is relentless about helping people steer clear of the risks and relying on practices, products, and equipment that ensure consistent, systematic, and stunning looking long term results. Robbie holds a Mechanical Engineering Degree from Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) and puts it to work making sure Be Green delivers on its promises.
