Rockaway Inc. is a premier landscaping company that has been serving Northeast Florida since its inception in 1981 as Rockaway Garden Center in New Jersey. The company was founded by the Burghardt brothers, Greg Jr. and Brian, who cultivated their passion for landscaping through experiences in their family's nursery and tree farms. With degrees in Plant Science and Landscape Design, they honed their expertise at two of the nation's leading landscaping firms before returning to their entrepreneurial roots in 2009. They rebranded the family business to Rockaway Inc. in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, transitioning from a garden center to a comprehensive provider of sustainable landscaping solutions.
Rockaway Inc. specializes in both residential and commercial landscaping services, including landscape design and installation, landscape maintenance, irrigation, drainage, and lighting. The company has made significant strides in adapting to industry changes by closing the garden center in 2020 to focus solely on landscaping services. This strategic pivot has enabled Rockaway to fortify its position as a leading competitor in the landscape maintenance market, catering to prominent sectors such as healthcare, retail centers, and HOA communities throughout Northeast Florida, including reputable clients like the Mayo Clinic.
The company prides itself on its commitment to excellence and innovation, constantly adopting the latest technologies and sustainable practices to ensure client satisfaction. Rockaway Inc. is dedicated to investing in its workforce, offering competitive salaries, comprehensive benefits, and hands-on training delivered by a leadership team that works closely with their field crews. Their extensive portfolio features collaborations with various market segments, reflecting a strong dedication to community engagement and quality service. As they continue to grow, Rockaway Inc. remains focused on sustainability, exceeding client expectations, and shaping the future of landscaping in Northeast Florida.
