About Us
We’re a small family business established in 1997, built on hard work and integrity.
Our Story
Loch Ness Landscaping & Lighting began with a little red push mower and a big dream when founder Joe started mowing lawns in his neighborhood in middle school. Over time, Joe grew his teenage hustle into a full-service outdoor living business rooted in family, faith, community, and craftsmanship. Joe’s sister, Sara, helped lay the foundation in the early years, and today, alongside his wife Mandy and their kids, Loch Ness has grown into a trusted name for high-end landscaping, hardscaping, and outdoor lighting.
From smart lighting systems and outdoor kitchens to
boulder walls and full-scale outdoor living spaces, we bring the same personal pride and attention to detail that fueled Joe’s earliest projects. Whether it’s Mandy coordinating behind the scenes or the kids and pups tagging along to job sites, this business has always been—and will always be—personal.
We believe in craftsmanship that lasts, service you can count on, and outdoor spaces that bring people together. From your first quote to the final walkthrough, we’re here to make your dream project smooth, straightforward, and even a little bit fun!

Careers at Loch Ness
We’re always seeking hard-working, detail-oriented people who take pride in a job well done to join our team. If you’re passionate about the outdoors and have a good old-fashioned Midwestern work ethic, we’d love to hear from you!
