About Us

Founded by John and Dana Richards in 2014, Umstead Green Landscape Management Inc. is a family-owned and operated, full-service landscape management company that provides service throughout the Triangle and surrounding areas in North Carolina.

John has over 25 years of experience in the landscape industry, working his way from the ground up!  His career began with a summer job as a teenager in New Jersey, followed by founding a landscape firm that is still in business today.  After making his way down south, he worked with several of the larger landscape management operations in North Carolina.  Eventually, John decided it was time to start his own landscape company – and the best place to do that was Raleigh. Dana is a Raleigh native and brings over 15 years of experience in community management, working with commercial and residential owners’ associations.  After giving birth to twins in 2017, Dana opted to leave HOA management to work with Umstead Green full time.

Communication and team-building are what separates Umstead Green from the rest!  The company owner is on-site at each property on a regular basis, supervising crews to ensure no area is overlooked.  Our employees are a part of a valuable team that is trained to keep the customer up-to-date on every aspect of maintenance.  Our commitment to our customers is to deliver a consistent stream of communication and quality service.
