OUR STORY:
Founded in 2006 by Brian Nelson, Nelco Landscaping began as a design/build firm rooted in craftsmanship and environmental responsibility. The company’s name honors Nelco Co., owned by Brian’s grandfather and close mentor, Lowel Oscar Nelson, whose influence continues to shape the company’s values following his passing in 2004.
In its early years, Nelco Landscaping focused on establishing a strong company culture and clear design philosophy within the landscape industry. That foundation emphasized the use of natural materials, including natural stone and native plantings, to create landscapes that feel both timeless and regionally appropriate.
Through close collaboration with local nonprofit organizations dedicated to best management practices in stormwater management, environmental stewardship became an integral part of Nelco’s approach. This commitment continues to guide the firm’s work today.
In recent years, Nelco Landscaping has partnered with leading architects and landscape architects to deliver award-winning projects that balance design excellence, sustainability, and lasting value.

"I am by nature a perfectionist and I seem to have trouble allowing anything to go through in a half-perfect condition. So if I made any mistake it was in working too hard and in doing too much of it with my own hands" Howard Hewes.
