Sterling Landscape Company, Llc

What Sterling Landscape Company, Llc does

Sterling Landscape Company, LLC is a privately held, Idaho-based landscape services contractor founded in 1972 by John and Lynne Sterling and acquired in 2015 by long-tenured employees Lavon Webb and Dan King, with Jody Hurst also listed as a current owner. The firm operates from a single headquarters at 4663 Ustick Road in Nampa, ID, holds Idaho (RCE #38790) and Oregon (LCB #9490) contractor licenses, and serves residential and commercial clients across the Treasure Valley, Southwest Idaho, and Eastern Oregon.

The company organizes its offering around four core service lines — Landscape Construction, Landscape Maintenance, Personal Gardener, and Sprinkler Services — and markets more than fifteen named sub-offerings including decks and overhead structures, fire pits and fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, pavers and concrete patios, water features, landscape lighting, privacy screens and fencing, and retaining walls. Commercial work spans healthcare facilities, institutional buildings, business campuses, retail locations, subdivisions, and interior event displays such as the Festival of Trees.

Sterling generates revenue through quote-based, project-driven engagements priced per estimate after a free on-site consultation, supplemented by recurring Personal Gardener subscriptions and ongoing maintenance contracts. The go-to-market motion is sales-led via a single published phone line, website contact form, a Houzz professional profile carrying Best of Houzz recognition, and Google reviews, with supplemental referral flow from design partners such as Brekon Land Design and Stack Rock Group. The firm has won a National Environmental Beautification Award from the American Nursery Association along with multiple Idaho Nursery Association awards, but discloses no revenue, headcount outside management, external funding, or technology platform beyond its marketing website.

Direct peers

• Aspire Landscaping & Design: Boise-area residential and commercial landscape design, build, and maintenance firm directly competing for the same Treasure Valley customer base and project types as Sterling.
• Northwest Landscape & Stone: Idaho-based residential landscape construction and hardscape specialist (patios, walls, water features) operating in the same Treasure Valley market with a comparable design-build service offering.
• Alley-Mae Landscaping: Treasure Valley full-service landscaping company offering design, installation, and maintenance for residential and commercial clients, directly comparable in scope and geography to Sterling.
• Greenleaf Landscaping & Nursery: Boise-region landscaping contractor providing residential and commercial landscape installation, maintenance, and nursery services, overlapping with Sterling on both construction and ongoing care.

Broad incumbents

• Lawn Doctor: National franchised lawn and outdoor services brand with Treasure Valley operators; competes for recurring residential maintenance contracts that overlap Sterling's Personal Gardener and Lawn Care services.
• TruGreen: National lawn care and maintenance franchise that operates across the Treasure Valley, providing recurring residential and commercial maintenance — directly overlapping Sterling's Landscape Maintenance and Personal Gardener services at a much larger scale.
• Davey Tree Expert Co. National tree care and commercial landscape services provider; competes in the broader commercial grounds-maintenance segment Sterling serves, with a portfolio model that includes landscape maintenance contracts.

Emerging players

• Stack Rock Group: Boise landscape architecture firm that refers construction projects to Sterling; competes at the design layer of the same projects and occasionally the build layer, making it a partial overlap peer.
• Brekon Land Design: Treasure Valley landscape architecture collaborator that partnered with Sterling on the Warm Springs Residence; competes at the design/consulting layer that feeds Sterling's construction pipeline.

Regional players

• Brick + Mortar Landscape: Idaho-based landscape construction firm serving broader Southwest Idaho; comparable construction-heavy offering with similar hardscape and outdoor living focus, but operating from a different sub-region of the state.
