Southern Scapes

Southern Scapes LLC is a family-owned and operated landscaping company serving the Shenandoah Valley for over fifteen years. Founded in 2006 by Karena and Chris Mathias, our dedication to providing exceptional landscaping services has helped us become a trusted name in the region. Chris, a graduate of Virginia Tech with a degree in Landscape and Turf Management, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the business. His passion for horticulture was ignited at a young age while helping his mother with her plant nursery, and his desire to serve the Shenandoah Valley community ultimately led him to start Southern Scapes.

We believe that beautiful landscaping enhances the lives of our clients and the charm of the entire community. At Southern Scapes, we strive to create outdoor spaces that are not only visually stunning but also functional and sustainable. Our commitment to quality workmanship, attention to detail, and client satisfaction sets us apart.
