Founded in 1952 by Carl and Anne Bruss as a nursery and garden center, Bruss Landscaping evolved under second-generation owners Bob and Bill Bruss to include residential landscape design. In 1987, the company moved to Wheaton, establishing a 10-acre nursery in West Chicago, Illinois. Eric Bruss, the third generation, took over in 1993, building on the family's legacy of quality. In 2022, Fairwood Brands, a company specializing in luxury outdoor living spaces, acquired Bruss Landscaping.
