“Our mission states that our purpose is to ‘make our world more beautiful.’ This is, in fact, one of the intangible benefits of our business, and we derive a sense of purpose when we are able to make our community more beautiful through landscape.”— Dalton Hermes, CEO

We are proud of our story and how we came to be. Our founder John T. Hermes was a man with a dream. He’s a man with a keen business mind and an agrarian soul. John attended Oklahoma State University and earned a degree in Agriculture with an emphasis in Animal Science. After 10 years in agriculture chemical sales and the military he knew he was built for a bigger and more fulfilling path. In 1965 with a wife and five little mouths to feed, and the right amount of moxie, Country Fair Lawns started its humble beginning in a barn which evolved into what we all know today as Hermes Landscaping. John’s disposition is not only warm and kind, but he’s a great businessman. You either want to work for him or with him.
