JRS Landscaping was established in early 2011 by Brian Stauffer - a Centre County native who has worked in the Green Industry for over 25 years.
Brian graduated from the Pennsylvania State University with a bachelor’s degree in Landscape Contracting.
JRS Landscaping has had tremendous growth over the past 15 years with services now including landscape maintenance, landscape design and build, hardscaping design and build, construction, pool installation and custom concrete work. In 2019, JRS Landscaping grew again with the addition of a management team and the purchase of a showroom and office in Bellefonte. JRS Landscaping is proud to continue offering excellent service and communication to all customers and is proud to serve all the Centre region.
Our Staff
Brian Stauffer
OwnerBrian started JRS Landscaping in 2011 and has not looked back since. Brian graduated in 2006 from Penn State University with a degree in Landscape Construction. He then worked for several large landscaping companies in Washington DC and Philadelphia. After returning home to Central Pennsylvania in 2010, he decided to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps, also a small business entrepreneur, and take on the rewarding journey of starting his own company. When it came time to choose a name, Brian decided to name the company after his grandfather, Jay Richard Stauffer, and so the name JRS Landscaping was born. Brian strives to grow and run the company on some core values that were instilled in him at a young age by his grandfather-never cut corners, treat your employees with respect and let them know they are valued, and always do your best work-all the time. Brian is proud to serve the Centre region with his landscaping experience and continues to grow the company by adding new services and continuing to perfect the landscaping and hardscaping services already offered.
