About Us

Rooted in Richmond.
Built on craftsmanship.

Ross Amyx — Owner & Lead Designer

With over 30 years working in the soil and hardscape of Central Virginia, Ross has built Premier Landscaping & Lighting on a simple belief: every yard deserves to be beautiful, functional, and built to last.

Ross personally walks every job — meeting with clients, selecting plants, overseeing installation, and returning to make sure everything establishes the way it should. From a single planting bed to a full lakefront transformation, he brings the same attention to detail to every project.

A Glen Allen resident himself, Ross knows the soil conditions, HOA requirements, and growing seasons of the Richmond area better than anyone — and he puts that local expertise to work for every client.

Our Crew

Our installation team has worked together for years — bringing skill, speed, and care to every project. They handle everything from precision hardscaping and retaining wall construction to detailed planting and lighting installation.

We're a small, tight-knit crew by design. That means when you hire Premier, you get experienced hands — not a rotating cast of subcontractors.

Ross and his team completely transformed our front yard. They removed everything, installed beautiful new plants, mulched the beds perfectly, and cleaned up every single day. We couldn't be happier.

We had standing water issues for years. Ross diagnosed the problem immediately, installed a French drain, and we haven't had a single issue since. Professional, clean, and on time every day.

The detail and care Ross puts into every project is unlike anything we've experienced. Our yard looks like a magazine photo. The one-year plant guarantee gave us so much peace of mind.

We hired Premier for a full lawn restoration — sod, topsoil, seeding, the works. The crew was respectful, efficient, and the result was stunning. Our backyard went from mud to beautiful in three days.

Ross designed our entire backyard landscape around a new patio — the plant choices, the spacing, the lighting. Everything worked together perfectly. Neighbors stop and comment constantly.

I've used 3 other landscapers over the years. Premier is in a completely different league — the knowledge of plants, the quality of the work, and Ross's communication make all the difference.
