Our story

Reedy River Landscapes was founded in 2016 by landscape designer, Luke Steffensmeier.

We listen, understand, & create.

After learning and helping develop a startup company for 5 years, Reedy River Landscapes originated as a one-man band and soon grew into a multi-crew team, ready to take on any design / build project.

Bringing unique designs and exceptional customer service to people in the greater Greenville area is what drove us then and is what drives us now.

Over the years, our team has grown and evolved, developing strong leaders and building lasting connections with clients and the community. We’re excited to continue this journey, creating exceptional residential and commercial landscapes.
