Company History: Established as a full service landscape contractor in 1974, we began to focus on commercial grounds maintenance in 1980 providing mowing, trimming and related services to nearly one hundred accounts in southeast Virginia.

Our clients include Red Lobster, Mary Immaculate Hospital, Towne Bank, and Sentara Hampton Health & Fitness and our projects have been presented with numerous Clean Business Awards.

With the addition of a landscape designer in 1988, we began to provide new landscape installations and have won several awards for design and installation including the Gold Award at the 1992 Parade of Homes and the Bronze Award in 1993.

Seven of the twenty-four full-time permanent employees have been with the firm for over ten years. Job training is important for quality service and we have on our staff two designers certified by the Virginia Society of Landscape Designers, nine registered technicians and five certified commercial pesticide applicators. We are also involved in civic activities within the community which include actively supporting the Virginia Living Museum and The America's Anniversary Garden. Learn more Click Here
