Rob has been in the landscaping industry for over 40 years. His first experience with landscaping started at 15 yrs old when he began working summers during high school.
During his 4 years of college, he continued to work as a crew foreman and project manager. Rob graduated from college in 1974 earning a degree in Behavioral Sciences and a minor
in Business Management, he declined an offer to become assistant Operations Manager, knowing he could do much better starting his own landscaping company. Rob moved to
Annapolis, Maryland in September of 1974, founding Robert W. Childs Landscape Contractors, Inc with only $15,000.00 working capital.
Rob enjoyed owning the company from 1974 to 1997. During that period of time, the company grew to be a highly respected and award winning landscape company serving the
metropolitan areas of Baltimore, Annapolis and Washington D.C. During the summer of 1997, Rob was approached by two of his key employees and a group of outside investors to
by the growing $7.5 million dollar company. In October of 1997, he sold the company and decided to reside in New Hampshire with his family. After taking a year off to relax and
enjoy his family, Rob and his wife Gail started Outside Unlimited.
As President and CEO of Outside Unlimited, Rob continues to direct the day to day field operations along with his management team. Outside Unlimited has grown to be a mid-sized
company for commercial landscaping maiantenance, snow management and large commercial landscape construction installations. Currently, he resides in NH with his wife Gail and
his family.
