ABOUT
SHRECKHISE LANDSCAPE & DESIGN SERVICE
Jim
Shreckhise Landscape and Design Service is a business that began
in 1945 through the determination and hard work of Jim’s dad,
James Moore Shreckhise. Although
Jim grew up working in the Shreckhise family shrubbery business in
Grottoes, he officially began partnering with his dad in the
landscaping business in 1980.
During that time, the business expanded, changed locations
and is currently operating on 7 acres next to Jim’s home is
Weyers Cave.
Jim
has greatly increased the variety of plants used in his design
work and owns one of the Valley’s healthiest inventories of
plant materials. His
unique gift in landscape design is well known throughout Staunton,
Waynesboro, Harrisonburg, Augusta, Rockingham, and Rockbridge
counties. He is often
consulted in new home construction on the placement of driveways,
walkways, and patios. In
fact, many customers have expressed how grateful they were to
consult with Jim about outside details before
their contractor pushed the first bucket of soil on new home
construction.
Customers
seek his services
because of his reputation for personally selecting the plant
material, being directly involved at all times during the
designing/transplanting process, and for using high quality plant
materials. Visitors are often impressed at the quantity and quality of
plant inventory when they visit the nursery.
OUR
PHILOSOPHY
Jim’s
business philosophy is to landscape every residence as if it were
his own home.
He is known for his consistent follow up with any problems
that surface as the homeowner’s landscaping becomes established.
He maintains contact with his clientele and is proud of the
fact that many customers continue to seek his skills as they
upgrade to other homes or add other landscaping projects to their
current residences. Customers
are often amazed at the equipment, efficiency, and skill he uses
when planting his designs. There
is definitely a difference in the “Jim” Shreckhise approach to
business.
