Our Story
What started as founder Josh Schmieder push-mowing lawns to save up money has blossomed into a thriving landscape and outdoor design-build firm. Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, Josh quickly hired his first employee, working tirelessly out of his parents’ garage. Little did he know, it was just the beginning of something much bigger.
In 2002, Josh considered taking a job at an established landscape company. But after uninspiring interviews that left him feeling discouraged, he knew there had to be a better way. Rather than settling, he chose to build his own company—one grounded in customer service and guided by core values: respect, quality, integrity, relationships, profitability, and teamwork. Josh envisioned a company that would stand out in the industry as a true professional outfit, setting a new standard for landscaping services.
Today, JOSH Landscape Co. has grown from those humble beginnings into a custom outdoor design-build firm with over 150 team members, including designers, landscape architects, craftsmen, office staff, and managers. We continue to be guided by the same values that inspired Josh years ago.
In 2019, we expanded our capabilities in landscape maintenance, establishing a dedicated division called PropertyCare. Meanwhile, JOSH Landscape Co. remains committed to being the industry leader in landscaping and outdoor design-build, constantly striving for innovation and quality.
We are honored to be recognized as one of the best landscape companies in the Finger Lakes region and proud to have earned the title of Rochester Top Workplace and Top 100 Company since 2018.
