The youngest child of Holmes Legary and Audrey Lynn Ricks Floyd, he was raised among a loving family and nurturing community. He attended Kirk Academy graduating in 1972, followed by Mississippi State University where he received a Bachelor of Science from the College of Agriculture and Home Economics in 1978 in Landscape Architecture. After graduation Steve set off for Salt Lake City, Utah to study and develop his trademark naturalistic aesthetic.

While there, he became an avid skier, and cultivated a book's worth of stories. However, love and longing for his family brought him back to his boyhood home where he pursued his dream of bringing beauty to the world through his free-spirited approach to landscape design. As soon as he saved up enough money by waiting tables he opened New Earth Landscape LLC, which he grew and nurtured like the plants he loved into a thriving, three decade old business. Hunger. Mrs.
