Founded over 30 years ago by Joe Littleton, Lawnscapes provides commercial landscaping services. Based in Panama City, Florida, the company serves customers in the surrounding counties of the Florida Panhandle, including Gulf, Walton, Washington and Jackson.   

The acquisition of Lawnscapes aligns with Ruppert’s strategic plan to partner with market leaders and expand into new geographies. Ruppert ranked No. 12 on Lawn & Landscape's Top 100 list in 2024.

“We’re excited to grow our presence in the Florida market through our partnership with Lawnscapes,” says Phil Key, CEO of Ruppert Landscape. “Lawnscapes has built a strong reputation for delivering exceptional service, fostering lasting customer relationships and prioritizing team development—values that closely align with Ruppert’s. This collaboration opens up exciting opportunities, and we’re proud to join forces with Joe Littleton and the skilled and dedicated Lawnscapes team.”

“We were looking for a partner who shared our vision and values, could accelerate our growth and offer greater opportunities for our team,” Littleton says. “It was also important that we remain deeply involved in the company we’ve built as we continue serving the loyal, long-term clients who have been instrumental to our success. Combining with Ruppert meets that criteria, and we’re excited about the opportunities ahead.”
