I was referred to Steve Jones and Garden Grove, by a trusted friend. Upon connecting with Steve, he walked me through the steps, discussed pricing and continued to follow up until the final plan was in place. Steve is very friendly, helpful, sincere, thorough and takes great pride in his work.”

As the owner of an event venue that needs to look its best in every season, I especially appreciate how he created a landscape with year-round interest and appeal.

Meet Steve
Steve has worked in the landscape field for 17 years and has a passion for plants and the great outdoors. Back in 2003 he and a friend started a lawn care business by mowing their neighbors’ lawn. Word quickly spread in the neighborhood and soon he had a full-blown business on his hands. Today Steve focuses on landscape design, putting his extensive plant knowledge to use by creating and installing custom garden designs. He has designed and installed gardens for large estates and residential clients as well. Whenever possible, Steve will incorporate native plants into his design process, recognizing those plants have a symbiotic relationship with the soil, insects, and animals in our environment. He will also utilize landscaping lighting and hardscaping features to bring the designs to life. In 2024, he earned his Certificate in Landscape Design from Longwood Gardens. Over the years, Steve’s business has grown organically through word-of-mouth references. A large reason for this growth is his extensive plant knowledge, full service offering and clients appreciate that they can speak directly to a decision maker.

Education & Training
Steve’s landscape design work is backed by a prestigious Certificate in Landscape Design from Longwood Gardens, one of the region’s most respected horticultural institutions. This education gave him advanced training in plant selection, design principles, garden planning, and creating outdoor spaces that feel both beautiful and intentional. Combined with his years of hands-on experience, Steve brings a thoughtful, knowledgeable approach to every landscape he designs.
What is Horticulture?
Horticulture is the science and art of growing, cultivating, and caring for plants, encompassing everything from gardening and landscaping to growing fruits and vegetables, cultivating flowers, and maintaining trees and shrubs. At Garden Grove Horticulture, this understanding guides every design with intention, starting with the plants that naturally belong in our local environment. Native plants are an essential part of a healthy, thriving landscape because they support local pollinators, birds, insects, soil health, and the overall ecosystem in ways that non-native plants often cannot. When thoughtfully incorporated into a garden design, native plants provide lasting beauty while helping the landscape become more resilient, lower maintenance, and better connected to the natural world around it.
Why Are Native Plants Important?
Native plants do more than add natural beauty to your landscape - they help support the birds, butterflies, bees, insects, and wildlife that rely on them for food, shelter, and habitat. Many species have a direct relationship with specific native plants, like Monarch caterpillars, which can only feed on milkweed. Native plants also play an important role beneath the surface, using deep root systems to break up compacted soil, improve heavy clay, and support the microorganisms that help release nutrients and build healthier, more fertile soil. Native plants work with your local environment, not against it, creating gardens that are beautiful, beneficial, and built to thrive.
