About Us

I have utilized the services of Southern Landscape Renovations for landscape design and installation as well as for landscape maintenance of both my residence and my family-owned business. Ric, his partner Tyler, and the SLR crew are very professional in how they attend to their business, but are incredibly friendly and a pleasure to have on your property. With regard to the installation of sod and other plantings, they kept to the agreed-upon schedule, cleaned up each day and provided a beautiful result for a very fair and reasonable price. With regard to the maintenance, they typically go above and beyond the contractual requirements to ensure my yard looks the way they know I want it to look. In today's world, if you want something done right you need to do it yourself, but not so when you hire SLR.

A life-long resident of Fairhope, Ric is as passionate about life as he is about landscaping. He enjoys golfing, free-diving, spearfishing and spending time with his family. When he is not on the fairways, or renovating your property, you can find Ric enjoying the great outdoors and life on the Gulf Coast.

While he enjoys all aspects of the industry, he is particularly passionate about creating self-sustaining landscapes that benefit both the property owner and nature. In his role at SLR, Ric is passionate about landscape layout, plant placement and creating outdoor entertaining areas that bring the indoors, outside.

Ric is also a dedicated fan of Mississippi State Athletics. He obtained a bachelor's degree in Landscaping Contracting and Management from Mississippi State University and is certified/licensed in Setting of Landscape Plants. He chose Mississippi State University because they have one of the top Landscape Programs in the country and was the first University in the world to offer a Landscape Contracting and Management Degree.

Ric and his wife Lauren live in Fairhope and are happily anticipating the arrival of their first child in 2015.
