JOHN WELCH - Key Persons


Bill Mehring

Job Titles:
  • Master Craftsman of Natural Stone
Bio Hardscape installation is an art. A creative designer can make it look good on paper, but it takes a talented installer like Bill Mehring to transform that natural stone design into a masterpiece. Bill brought his 10+ years of landscape experience to John Welch Enterprise in 2008 and loved working with his hands to build and create new outdoor living spaces that people can enjoy. Although Bill is well known as the company's natural stone artist, he takes great pride in every project and is as multifaceted in hardscape work as they come. Bill enjoys spending time with his wife of 13 years, Kristin, and their three children, one of which is a newborn! He resides in Honeoye Falls and enjoys cycling and working out whenever possible.
