About

Welcome to Black River Landscaping, your trusted partner for all things lawn-related. We’re proud to be a family-owned and operated company with deep roots in public service and a longstanding dedication to high-quality landscaping.

Our Story

  • A Firefighter’s Passion for Landscaping
    Our owner has served as a wildland firefighter for 27 years. Balancing a full-time career in firefighting with a part-time landscaping business provided a unique skill set—discipline, attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to doing the job right. This experience also means we never take on more work than we can handle, ensuring personalized attention and a level of service our clients can depend on. 

  • Decades of Experience
    Our founder’s landscaping journey began with JT’s Landscaping in Tennessee, starting in 1994 and in 2000 moved to North Carolina applying these skills to commercial properties and property management holdings. Then on to Florida from 2006 to 2016, maintaining both residential and commercial properties along the way. 2016 to 2024 he went to the ARMY in Hawaii and paused the landscaping business until now.  That breadth of experience means we’ve seen it all—from small suburban lawns to large commercial complexes—and know how to bring out the best in every property.  We are proud to be back home and serving the Poplar Bluff area.  

  • A Family Endeavor
    Alongside the firefighting commitment, our family is also proud to have a dedicated nurse—bringing compassion, care, and integrity into everything we do. We firmly believe in treating our customers like family and putting their needs first. This personal touch sets us apart: you’ll always have direct communication with someone who genuinely cares about the outcome of your project.
