The Landscape Partners, an Aspen Grove Company, was founded in the fall of 2003 by longtime landscape professionals with a combined 75 years of landscape services experience. The ultimate goal of the company from inception was simple: Through maintaining beautiful landscapes and incorporating philanthropy into our core mission, we want to leave the world just a little better than we found it. The Landscape Partners name was chosen because it described how we dreamed of doing business. We wanted to have a true partnership with our customers, and a partnership in the communities in which we do business. The Landscape Partners meets our customers needs through six main business areas: Grounds Maintenance, Lawn, Tree & Shrub Care, Irrigation Repair & Maintenance, Color Design & Installation, Landscape Design & Installation, and Arbor Care.
