About Us

Our Landscaping Philosophy

Our goal is to make your property beautiful while respecting the natural environment. In creating new landscapes and maintaining existing ones, we strive for that point of sustainable balance where nature and humanity converge. Your property has an influence on its surroundings. We're always careful to conform to land-use regulations and to consider your abutting neighbors. There are no cookie-cutter solutions to beauty. Whether you are a business owner or a homeowner, we will create a plan to fulfill your objectives for aesthetics, livability, upkeep, and budget.

About Tom Jackson

I was born and raised in Camden and began landscaping here during my high school years, learning from my mentor, Earlyn W. Wheeler. After earning an Associates's degree in Landscaping Technology from the University of Maine at Orono, I founded Jackson Landscape Services in 1976 to provide landscape design, planting, maintenance, and construction services in the Midcoast community I love. I still live in Camden with my dear wife, Hillary, and I have one grown daughter, Heidi, who lives nearby.

In 1999, Tom Jackson designed the property around our new home. Today, everyone who visits believes our forest of mixed trees, thick holly hedge, berms with birches and rhododendrons, rose beds on the lawn to the beach, stone walks, and rock walls have been here forever. We have many compliments on how the landscaping has anchored our house so naturally with the oceanfront environment.
