About Suncrest

We’re Here to Serve You

On behalf of our 125 member staff team, I invite you to visit Suncrest Gardens and see the ways we’ve been “Bringing life and beauty to gardens and homes in Northeast Ohio since 1976.” Our three distinct groups are each committed to excellence in their respective areas. I am proud of this company, proud of our accomplishments and eager to discover how we may be of service to you.

We look forward to working with you!

The History of Suncrest

Suncrest Gardens is sincerely dedicated to producing the highest quality of products and services in a professional and ethical regards to our clients, community, and environment. We will provide opportunities to realize both our personal and company goals through teamwork and a commitment to each other.

Today

Suncrest Gardens consists of three groups:

  1. Management (maintenance, enhancement, snow & ice)
  2. Development (design / build / construction)
  3. Retail Garden Center

We have over 100 employees during the growing season. We seek to provide our clients with quality goods and services, meeting and exceeding their expectations. Within this framework, Suncrest Gardens’ growth continues as a premier full-service landscape company in Northeast Ohio. We welcome and appreciate your business!

2006

A second site expansion is completed with an enlarged store and new greenhouses for the Garden Center, and new offices for the expanded Landscape Architecture / Design staff. Jeff Conn, registered Landscape Architect, joins Suncrest Gardens as Manager of the Design Group. Jeff brings with him 30 years of design / build experience.

1997

The Rite Landscaping name is retired and the era of Suncrest Gardens begins. Rob Cowie, degreed horticulturist from Ohio State, oversees the new Garden Center as Director of Operations.

1990

Expansion leads the business to its current Akron-Cleveland Road location and sees the development of Rite Landscaping as a full service Landscape Construction Company with Design / Build and Maintenance divisions.

1976

Ric Haury founded Rite Landscaping in Kent, Ohio in 1976. His accounting background, his interest in horticulture, and his strong desire to build a full-service landscape business shape the early company. With the addition of Production Manager Rob Gray in 1987, the Management Group is formed.

What Our Customers Are Saying

We value our customers and do everything in our power to deliver a great experience at Suncrest Gardens. Here’s a look at what people are saying about those experiences.

  • We are thrilled with the services we received from Suncrest. Cathy Serafin designed new landscaping for our home and your crews did the take out, hard scape, and landscape. We have referred you to our friends who are now eager to work with Cathy once they saw our new landscape. Thank you for providing wonderful services with great people!

  • PERFECT!

    That’s the only word that comes to mind when describing the work of Suncrest’s John, Eric & David yesterday. They turned our embarrassing driveway into an attractive area we can be proud of. As for the many “little” items we needed to be done… they understood exactly what we wanted and delivered above and beyond our expectations!

    Thank you, Suncrest for such hard-working, likable, and professional workers.

  • Many thanks for an outstanding job that Suncrest Gardens did on our recent patio project! From the initial consultation through the design process and the actual construction, your associates were skilled and professional. One measure of the successful execution of all the ideas that came together in this project is the number of compliments from our neighbors.
