Ruppert Nurseries has re-entered the Virginia market by opening a landscape installation branch in Chantilly, Va. – just west of Dulles International Airport.
The commercial landscape installation and landscape management services company also has branch offices in Laytonsville, Md., Philadelphia and Atlanta. The company also owns a 475-acre wholesale tree nursery in Montgomery County, Md.
“Re-entering the Virginia market was a natural step for us to take,” said President Chris Davitt. “We had already been serving the Virginia area from our Maryland branch and we are excited about the opportunity to open a branch that will accommodate our Virginia customers.”
Ken Thompson, who has been with Ruppert more than 18 years and has managed three branches, will lead the new branch alongside a staff of Ruppert veterans. Joining Thompson are Mike Marshall (estimating and sales), Frederick, Md.; Kurt Siemon (contract administrator), Herndon, Va.; and Shaun Snodgrass (production manager), Deale, Md.
Marshall, Siemon and Snodgrass have worked for Ruppert for 10 years, six years and one year, respectively.
