Our Services


Your Landscape and Hardscape Professionals

Landscape Contracting

John Ross, Inc. works from detailed plans designed for specific sites, provided either by our own professional designers or by other landscape architects.

Bids and contracts are prepared based upon each plan's exact specifications.  In addition to a bid and contract based upon the plans drawn by our designers, you will have the benefit of the continued involvement of the designer throughout the project.

John Ross, Inc. employs experienced and professional foremen and well-trained crew members, specializing in a specific area of installation: hardscape (stone, boulders, concrete pavers and brick) and landscape.

Landscape Design

John Ross, Inc. employs professional landscape designers.

In addition to designing award-winning landscapes, our designers have been associated with major projects throughout the Southeast: Biltmore Estate Rose Garden, Inn on the Biltmore Estate, The North Carolina Arboretum, Main Street of Hendersonville, NC.

Before beginning a design, our designers will discuss your vision for your home or business to incorporate your particular needs and desires into the overall design.

The design process continues by creating detailed plans based upon surveys, measurements, photographs and on-site inspections of your property. The design includes details of features such as terraces, walls, steps, walkways and driveways, along with a detailed list of plant materials.

The designer is involved throughout the project from the visionary and planning stages to the installation of our landscape.
