Ruppert Nurseries, Inc.

Ruppert Nurseries began in 1990 when the leadership of Ruppert Landscape Company decided to expand into the growing business. The original eight acres of nursery stock, located in Ashton, Md., was planted with the goal of providing the landscape company direct access to high-quality plant material and to learn more about this related business. That same year, the partners purchased the assets of a local nursery, including tree spades, land and field inventory. Over the past decade, the company has expanded its nursery production further, buying additional acreage and increasing the quantity of new plantings each year.

The management team, many of who were also leaders at Ruppert Landscape, continues to focus its efforts on making Ruppert Nurseries the landscape service provider of choice for customers and employees, as well as a grower of the highest-quality tree stock. The company continues to dedicate itself to providing exceptional value to its clients and to providing significant opportunities for its employees to grow and prosper. The work culture and values practiced at Ruppert Nurseries are unique to Ruppert, are rooted deep in the company history and are a primary reason for the continued success of all the Ruppert companies.
