Meet the Team
CJ Ruffolo
CJ is an owner and the Founder of Mountain-Scapes, LLC. He began his landscaping career when he was 14 years old by starting a lawn maintenance business in West Palm Beach, FL. which he later sold before moving to the United Kingdom where he attended The University of London and received his Landscaping Architects Degree. He started a Landscaping Design Company in the UK where he lived for 25 years and quickly found his passion and niche for designing high-end gardens.
He prides himself on placing Gold at the Chelsea Flower Show in London which is the oldest and largest garden design show in the world, so prominent, that the Queen of England attends yearly. During his career, he has had the privilege of designing gardens for many well know celebrities. In 2020, he moved to Sylva, NC, and in late 2021, Mountain-Scapes, LLC was created. He is excited not only to bring new ideas and designs to the mountains of Western North Carolina, but his wealth of knowledge allows him to take care of all of your outdoor needs.
