With a legacy spanning nearly a century, Live Oak Construction & Landscapes has been rooted in excellence, thanks to the vision and leadership of Richard “Dick” Thompson. Carrying forward the family business that began as Thompson Tree & Spray in 1937, Mr. Thompson has grown Live Oak into the region’s most trusted name in landscaping, tree care, and construction.

As a Mississippi native and lifelong entrepreneur, Mr. Thompson has built his reputation on hard work, integrity, and a commitment to quality craftsmanship. Under his leadership, Live Oak has expanded beyond its Natchez, MS roots to serve clients across Mississippi and Louisiana, handling everything from custom landscape design and irrigation to large-scale commercial construction projects.

With decades of expertise, a passion for nature, and a dedication to the Miss-Lou community, Mr. Thompson continues to drive Live Oak’s mission forward—helping homeowners and businesses create stunning, sustainable outdoor spaces that stand the test of time.
