Southern Scapes Landscape & Design, LLC has been installing
landscapes on the Outer Banks since 1998. Our goal was, and is, to
bring beautiful, innovative landscapes to the area while providing
superior customer service. Now Southern Scapes is one of the
largest companies in the region. Southern Scapes
Garden Center was established in 2003 in Powell's Point, North
Carolina. Owners Christy and Tom May were afforded the
opportunity to buy an existing nursery and extend our services to
the do-it-yourselfers. In 2005, we added fiberglass swimming
pools and spas to our line.
Tom May is a graduate of Fork Union and Rowan
University. He has worked in landscape design and installation
since age 15. Tom’s first landscaping job was with Lipinski’s
in Medford, New Jersey. Lipinski’s is among the top 50
landscaping firms in the nation. Tom relocated from New Jersey
to the Outer Banks in 1998. His work experience, combined with
his passions for nature and art led him to start Southern Scapes
Landscape & Design, LLC.
Christy Ambrose May is a graduate from Manteo
High School (yes, she actually grew up on the Outer Banks)
and a
1997 graduate from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
With her business and management background, having a business of
her own seemed like the natural progression. Christy and Tom met in
1998 and their dreams were realized together with the creation of
Southern Scapes.
As a company, Christy and Tom feel very fortunate to have
highly trained, educated individuals working with them. Nearly
everyone on their staff has attended college and has various degrees
and certifications in horticulture and/or landscape design and
installation. The staff makes Southern Scapes what it is, the
best outdoor enhancements company in northeastern North Carolina.
The company's team
of professionals is dedicated to creating functional and aesthetic
outdoor spaces for our clients.
