Matt & Amy King, Owners
Our legacy of landscaping excellence continues under new ownership. Wichita natives Matt and Amy King have succeeded Linden and Angie Johnson as owners and operators at Johnson’s Legacy Landscapes. “In Matt and Amy King, we’ve found the right leaders to steward Johnson’s Legacy Landscapes into the next season. We are excited to see the good things that have been planted in the last 15 years continue to grow for our customers and their families,” Linden says. “The core values of Johnson’s Legacy Landscapes resonate with my family and me. We are honored and excited to take up the challenge of continuing the legacy Linden and Angie set out with their team,” shared Matt King. “Our mission continues to be one that provides professional landscape consultation, design and installation services for clients, and serving in both residential and commercial capacities,” he said. Linden and Angie Johnson retired from leadership on May 9, and the Kings stepped into the role at that time. The Johnsons will remain connected to the business in an as-needed advisory capacity so they can enjoy spending more time with their daughter and grand dog.
