Building a business with strong relationships

Russ and Josh Dupper have found ways to "enjoy each other's company" while working at the same company, Dupper Landscape, a $45.7 million business.

After 40 years of operation, Dupper Landscape rebranded to reflect the partnership between the father and son that have turned the company into a $45.7 million business. It ranked No. 70 on Lawn & Landscape’s 2024 Top 100 list.

Today, Dupper Landscape employs 220 people and focuses on landscape maintenance and construction, but back at its inception in 1983, Russ Dupper was just looking for a way to make a living for his budding family. He and his wife, Patti, already had a two-year-old and another child was on the way.

Family is still at the heart of how Dupper Landscape operates. So, how do the Duppers keep business and family separate? They recently explained more for Lawn & Landscape.
