Richard A. McCoy Horticultural Services Inc. was established in 1998 with the vision of providing high-quality artistry and customer value through a clear and present resolve for proper plant placement and a plant’s cultural needs. With this modest idea, we’ve evolved into a green industry leader in the rapidly emerging segment of ecological horticulture/organic land care.

In 2005, we began our full transition toward organic and ecologically mindful systems as awareness grew around the dangers of using synthetic chemicals for landscape maintenance. This shift in approach has since opened up an entirely new realm of landscape alternatives for us, and has helped increase property value for our clients.

As we grew closer to nature and her ecosystems over the years, we became more aware of the irreversible damage invasive plant species cause to the ecosystems of our planet, as well as the significant role that native plant species play in the ecology of our landscapes and how interconnected humans are to native plants and keystone insects. (As our indigenous plant populations dwindle, so do our keystone insects). It is this scenario that resulted in our preference for native species in our designs. Simply stated, remove too many of the keystone building blocks of ecology, and the end result will not be a favorable one.

We realized the impact that the aforementioned inappropriate landscaping practices pose to people, pets and our ecosystem. It became evident that a paradigm shift was needed. We decided to toss away the industry blinders of conventional landscape design and mundane maintenance practices and define our mission: “Committed to Superior Quality and Environmentally Responsible Practices.”

Richard A. McCoy Horticultural Services Inc. continually seeks to discover and utilize native plant species that will ecologically outperform the common overused invasive plant species without compromising the client’s aesthetic priorities. Our expertise in plant health also guarantees a decrease or elimination in plant losses. We utilize organic alternatives to synthetic chemical treatments without compromising our high standards of integrity and quality.
