About Blue Ribbon Outdoor

Cultivating outdoor excellence for more than 30 years.

Welcome to Blue Ribbon—where excellence is not just a legacy; it’s a way of life.

Blue Ribbon’s journey began in the early 1990s when visionary founder Cari DeLaughter provided lawn maintenance services under Blue Ribbon Lawns. Ross Rodden and Angela Hayward added their entrepreneurial spirit, creating Rodden Landscape in 1991 and Leisurescapes in 2008.

By 2022, these local entrepreneurs had united these three companies, giving birth to today’s Blue Ribbon. Represented by dedicated crews from our Springdale and Rogers locations, we bring outdoor excellence to Northwest Arkansas.

Our story is one of passion, expertise, and dedication. Join us as we celebrate the convergence of the 1990s legacy with today’s visionaries, crafting landscapes that inspire joy and elevate Northwest Arkansas’s outdoor beauty.


Let’s embrace the reality: work plays a significant role in your life, and true satisfaction comes from doing what you love.

Joining the Blue Ribbons Outdoor team is not just a job; it’s an opportunity to contribute to a grand mission—enriching lives by enhancing the connection people have with their outdoor environments, where they live, work, and play. The journey with us opens doors to endless possibilities for personal and professional growth, paving the way to becoming a leader in both your career and community. Enjoy great pay and benefits, and fall in love with all that you do at Blue Ribbon.
