Established in 1956 in Belchertown, Massachusetts, family owned and operated Hodgen Landscape Co., Inc. is now in its third generation. David G. Hodgen, founder, attended the Stockbridge School of Agriculture at the University of Massachusetts. James D. Hodgen, current owner, attended the Stockbridge School of Agriculture at the University of Massachusetts.
BELCHERTOWN - When David Hodgen started Hodgen Landscape Co. in 1956, he had but a pickup truck and a lawn mower. Now, 60 years later, his son James "Ike" Hodgen is running the business and faces a whole new set of challenges. His father, who died earlier this year, actually wanted to be a farmer and attended the University of Massachusetts's Stockbridge School of Agriculture, said Ike Hodgen.
Wisely, David Hodgen's father talked him out of the farming life. Two of David Hodgen's uncles were landscapers, one in the Boston suburbs and another in New York. So, with a new family, he turned to landscaping and for a while, it was a tough row to hoe.
