Built for Commercial Properties

Unlike many landscaping companies that divide their attention between residential and commercial work, R.M. Landscape focuses exclusively on commercial properties.

That means our equipment, crews, scheduling, communication, and maintenance programs are all designed around the needs of businesses, property managers, facility directors, municipalities, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, HOAs, industrial properties, and retail centers.

We understand that your landscape is more than curb appeal, it’s part of your company’s image, your property’s value, and the experience you provide for customers, tenants, employees, and visitors.

Our Story Since 1973

Building a legacy of service, quality & trust

Every company starts somewhere. For R.M. Landscape, it began with hard work, determination, and a borrowed tractor.

More than five decades later, that small summer business has grown into one of Western New York’s leading commercial landscape and snow & ice management companies. While our equipment, team, and service area have expanded significantly, our commitment to quality workmanship, dependable service, and long-term client relationships has remained the same.

1973

Rick and Mike Lemcke founded R.M. Landscape in 1973 while attending college, installing lawns during the summer using a borrowed tractor from their father and a neighbor’s rake. What began as a small seasonal operation quickly earned a reputation for dependable service, hard work, and quality craftsmanship—values that continue to define the company today.

As demand continued to grow, R.M. Landscape purchased its headquarters on Peck Road in Hilton, New York. The property also became home to a wholesale nursery operation, providing the space and resources needed to support the company’s continued expansion throughout Western New York.

1980s

During the 1980s, R.M. Landscape shifted its focus toward commercial landscaping, building long-term relationships with businesses, municipalities, healthcare facilities, and other commercial property owners. This strategic direction established the company as a trusted partner for year-round commercial property maintenance.

As the company continued to grow, R.M. Landscape expanded beyond landscape installation into comprehensive commercial property services. New divisions for landscape construction, commercial maintenance, and snow removal allowed the company to support clients throughout every season while investing in additional equipment, crews, and operational capabilities.

Recognizing the growing demand for commercial landscape services in Western New York, R.M. Landscape expanded into the Buffalo market. This marked the beginning of the company’s long-term commitment to serving businesses throughout the greater Buffalo region with the same dependable service and proactive communication that built its reputation in Rochester.
