Our Story
Honest Landscapes & Nursery, founded in 2017 by Ryan and Dana Stoddard, embodies the core values of honesty, excellence, honor, and generosity. From humble beginnings, we started as a full-service lawn and landscape maintenance company catering to just a handful of clients. Little did we know that within the first year, our dedication to these values would propel us from landscape maintenance to landscape design and installation. Our vision to transform our community through creativity and an unwavering commitment to excellence became the driving force behind Honest Landscapes & Nursery. We strive to honor our clients with our work and generously give back to the community that supports us.

Honest
We're making honesty common. We will set aside our pride in order to tell the truth. Being honest is how we show value to our clients and to each other.
"For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of man."
2 Corinthians 8:21
Honor
We honor one another because we all matter. We encourage, we celebrate, and we move forward together. No one person has value over another.
"Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor."

Excellence
We want to give our best in everything that we do. Excellence is the standard in how we approach our relationships, our work, and our character.
"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."

We give of ourselves for the greater good of the team. We use our talents and experience to make our community better.
