Little Rock Landscape Inc. – Little Rock, Arkansas

About Little Rock Landscape Inc.

Little Rock Landscape Inc. has evolved out of four generations of Landscape Contractors and Retail/Wholesale Nursery’s. It all began in the 1940’s with Mr. H. H. Heitman, he was my great grandfather. The historic tale is that he went door to door selling plants off the running board of a T-Model Ford. During this time period, he was known to be one of the first three landscape nurserymen in all Little Rock! In 1949, my grandfather, Lloyd Heitman, returned home from playing pro baseball and started H. H. Heitman & Son Nursery. Then in 1968, my father Steve Knight, married my Momma, Marietta Heitman Knight. She was the only child from Lloyd and Maribelle  Heitman. Then in 1978, Mr. Heitman wanted to retire which led to the evolution of a name change!  

In February of that same year, my father founded Little Rock Landscape, INC, and  never looked back! My father was able to accomplish so much in the landscape/irrigation trade here in AR. You can’t drive down any of the metro highways through Little Rock and not see some of my father’s hard work throughout the city and suburbs of Little Rock. I am very grateful to have had him as a role model of hard work, faith, and leadership. I had no choice but to recognize these attributes growing up in the company.

In 1998, I came off the road from two years of traveling doing ministry all over the U.S.  Once I returned to AR, I joined Little Rock Landscape, INC to become the 4th generation of landscapers in my family. What a journey it has been! We have been able to perform some of the most notable projects in the state! From the Little Rock National Airport to University Plaza Shopping Center, to Park Plaza Mall, to AR State  Veterans Cemetery, to all kinds of banks and clinics throughout the state.  

In 2011, I became the VP of Operations and began building a team that could help grow  LRLI into what it is today. My Dad and I kept the plow to the ground while trying to look for staff that could help us get to the next level. In 2016, we were able to bring on Tim Bennefeld, who now serves as our VP/DOO for LRLI. His history and experience in the business, coupled with our multi-generation of business relationships, truly put LRLI  on a track to scale that we had no idea could happen! Since 2011, we have gone from around 10 employees with 2-3 crews, to now having 55 employees with 12 different crews! We have been selected to do some incredible projects of notoriety here in AR, including Bank OZK HQ, ASU OPS/Waterfall, Amazon Riverport, and Oaklawn projects just to  name some!
