Our Team

John Wood

John Wood grew up in Chapel Hill, the son of two local physicians and UNC graduates who taught him the value of hard work early on. He went to local schools and went on to graduate from UNC Chapel Hill himself.

As a teenager, John saved enough to buy his first piece of heavy equipment before he even had a driver’s license. That hustle turned into Wood Brothers Landscaping, now serving Durham, Orange, and Chatham Counties.

John leads the crew in the field — handling everything from drainage fixes and grading to patios, retaining walls, and full property care. His goal is simple: to make sure Wood Brothers is known in the community for solid work and reliable service.

Daniel Wood

Daniel Wood is the vice president and co-founder of Wood Brothers Landscaping. Like his brother, he grew up in Chapel Hill, the son of two local physicians with deep UNC roots. He’s now studying at UNC Chapel Hill, and on top of his coursework, he put in the hours to earn his contractor’s license.

While John drives the work in the field, Daniel keeps the back end running, from accounting to cost tracking, so the team can focus on doing the job right — and making sure Wood Brothers is recognized as a company people can trust.

Amanda Driscoll

Amanda Driscoll is a sustainable landscape designer and project manager who works with a range of entities such as residential homeowners, community organizations, municipal offices, architects, and contractors to responsibly transform a project from a conceptual vision to a functional, successful built space.

Amanda believes that a truly successful project is all about creating win-win solutions for both the human user and the natural environment. This begins by listening with curiosity to understand the client’s desired experience and function of their property in the design phase, and carries through to the construction and implementation phases. She has more than 20 years of experience working in the landscape industry with clients ranging from home owners, business owners, contractors, and organizations such as The Durham History Hub, Forest Hills Neighborhood Association, University City District, and Fairmount Park Conservancy to bring their projects to life with ease and grace.

Amanda’s passions lie in creating playful and peaceful landscapes designed for active and passive learning, connection and play. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture from Temple University, which included a semester abroad in Rome, Italy, studying art and architecture. While at Temple, Amanda was a three time group presenter at Temple University Research forum and Creative Works Symposium and received a leadership award for her role and participation in Temple’s 2008 Philadelphia Flower Show Exhibit, “The Big Four Mississippi Meander”.
