What Thompson does

Thompson (d/b/a Conn Corp, LLC) is a privately held, family-operated landscaping services company founded in 1960 and headquartered at 810 Carter Street, Rocky Mount, North Carolina. The company provides an integrated suite of outdoor services for residential and commercial customers across North Carolina and South Carolina, including irrigation system installation and repair, hardscape construction (poured concrete, patios, outdoor kitchens, walkways, driveways, gazebos), custom landscape design and installation, low voltage outdoor lighting and sound systems, tree and stump removal, turf maintenance (sod, seeding, fertilization, pest control), and drainage solutions such as ACO 8-inch Heavy Duty Power Drain systems. Ownership and management rest with the Conn family, with Maria Conn serving as Business Manager and Joe Conn as General Manager, supported by a small in-house crew of foremen, crew leaders, and equipment operators. The company is certified as a North Carolina HUB Firm and listed in the Statewide Uniform Certification (SWUC) as a Hispanic Female-owned business, and holds BBB accreditation.

Thompson operates a direct-to-consumer, quote-based professional services model with no public pricing. Customers request free quotes through the company website (thompsonnurseryinc.com), by phone, or by email, and services are delivered on-site at customer properties. Marketing is limited to a professional website showcasing project galleries and staff profiles, BBB listing, and North Carolina state vendor listings enabled by the HUB certification. There is no app, no API, no disclosed technology platform, and no detected AI/ML capability; the business is built on manual, equipment-based field labor. Revenue is generated on a project and recurring-maintenance basis across both one-time installations (hardscape, irrigation, drainage) and ongoing contracts (turf maintenance, seasonal irrigation start-up/shut-down, fertilization and pest programs).
