History
Originally based out of Charlotte, VT, Landshapes was established in 1992 as a very small residential landscape company. For the first few years the company consisted of Jason and a few seasonal employees. In 1999 we moved to Richmond, where our facility consists of administrative offices, a design studio, holding yard (for trees, soils and stone), a small nursery and a full service maintenance shop. Over the past twenty one years the company has grown slowly, but surely, to become one of Vermont’s largest Landscape Design/Build companies and employs a full time staff of nearly 30 people. Our projects now range from small residential to large scale commercial throughout Vermont, the rest of New England and Upstate New York.

Team
Landshapes employs 26 full-time / year-round people and usually has 2-5 seasonal employees for the summer months. A majority of the crew have been with us for half a decade or more & this is evident when you see how well everyone works together to complete an installation. Over half of our crew is OSHA 10, OSHA 30, CPR, and First Aid / BBP certified and many hold additional certifications.
