\u00a0\u201cFrom my first introduction to Landscape Forms, I knew that this was an incredibly special and unique company. Founder John Chipman Sr. laid a strong foundation of creativity, people centricity and craftsmanship that has been maintained over 56 years.\u00a0 Landscape Forms is a company that has had meaningful, significant growth – for the right reasons. I\u2019m thrilled to join Landscape Forms and look forward to working closely with our talented team to help our customers solve their most demanding design and project challenges and achieve our vision to be the global leader in furnishing premium outdoor spaces,\u201d says David Jackson.<\/p>\n
