From the Palace of Versailles to your doctor's office, landscaping is an important part of an establishment's visual impression. We believe it ought to be beautiful, thoughtful, and well done. Always. 

Our Mission

Horticulture has fascinated Marcy Hedgerow, James Ruf's founder, as long as she can remember. From the time she could toddle, she spent her time outdoors collecting "specialmens" (as she called them). As she got older, her interest in taxonomy grew into an obsession: she knew she'd found her life's calling.

After receiving her PhD in horticulture from the University of Ann Arbor, she knew she couldn't spend her time in an office. Wanting to get her hands dirty once again, she started James Ruf, specializing in creating beautiful landscapes for the next generation of "specialmen" collectors.
