Yellow Rose Landscape

It was his dad’s influence as a North Texas home builder and his mother, founder of a prestigious private school in North Dallas, which instilled landscape appreciation and entrepreneurial thinking leading Bert to establish one of the most successful landscape companies in Texas.

In 1975, the moment Bert graduated from Texas Tech with a degree in Landscape Architecture, he began to literally “dig-in” with his new young company. In 1981, Bert met Roger Staubach, who was not only a successful commercial real estate businessman (and former Dallas Cowboy Quarterback) but who also owned a well-regarded landscape services company. Both men shared similar business ethics and a sincere focus on quality. After a few discussions, Blair’s and Staubach’s companies merged to form Yellow Rose Landscape Services.

Thirty plus years later, Bert’s personal design acumen and proactive management style have created some of the most beautiful residential and commercial landscapes in North Texas. Bert is past president of the Texas Association of Landscape Contractors and is highly regarded in the industry for creating one of the best company cultures – with the lowers team turnover ratio in the area.

Bert’s generosity and dedication to the DFW Community is well known. You will see Bert’s imprint on many school athletic fields, which he and his team designed and constructed, pro bono. Committed to the North Texas area, Bert has given his time and energy to various boards. The Spring Valley Athletic Association, Parish Episcopal School, The Shelton School and Mercy Street Ministries are just a few that have benefited from Bert’s involvement. In addition, Bert volunteered his time and athletic talents as a coach in the Select Baseball League and as the baseball coach for Shelton School. His coaching has left a positive influence on hundreds of young men.

Working at a golf course throughout high school made a strong impression on John. He became extremely comfortable working in this environment that was designed by man while using nature’s best. It was so obvious that he was a “natural” in the outdoors that his supervisor took notice and encouraged John to pursue a career in horticulture. John was directed to Stephen F Austin – one of the two colleges, at that time, offering a degree in horticulture. After his degree, John brought his talents back to his home, North Texas.

For over 20 years, John has been instrumental in the growth of Yellow Rose Landscape Services. His attention to detail involving client services, design trends and development of landscape solutions has made John a key asset in both the residential and commercial side of the business.

John has served as past president of the Dallas Chapter of the Texas Association of Landscape Contractors and served on the Horticultural Advisory Committee at Richland Junior College. John is a Certified Arborist and holds his Commercial Applicators License.
