Twan Richardson, widely known as “Lady T,” is redefining the landscape industry in Charleston and beyond. As the first and only African American female to own a lawn and landscape business in the Tri-County area, she is making waves in a field traditionally dominated by men. Through her company, Lowcountry Queens Lawn and Landscape Service, LLC, she is committed to providing exceptional service while inspiring others to break barriers.
Founded in April 2021, Lowcountry Queens Lawn and Landscape Service, LLC, is more than just a business—it is a movement. Richardson is determined to “change the narrative” in an industry where women make up only 10% of ownership, and African American women represent an even smaller fraction at just 1%. Her story stands as a testament to perseverance, hard work, and a deep-rooted passion for excellence.
For Richardson, the mission extends beyond landscaping. Every project completed by Lowcountry Queens Lawn and Landscape Service, LLC, is a step toward greater representation and empowerment. “I am changing the narrative in the lawn care industry,” Richardson states. “It’s about showing other women, especially women of color, that they can succeed in any field they choose, regardless of societal norms.”
With a keen focus on customer satisfaction, Richardson and her team are known for their meticulous attention to detail and strong work ethic. Clients appreciate not only the high-quality services offered but also the sense of community that the company fosters. By leading by example, Richardson hopes to inspire future generations to challenge traditional career paths and pursue their passions without limitations.
Despite the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated field, Richardson has embraced every obstacle as an opportunity to prove her capabilities. She understands the importance of visibility and representation, and she actively encourages others to step outside their comfort zones. Through her journey, she has demonstrated that determination and skill speak louder than stereotypes.
Her impact extends beyond her own business. Richardson’s presence in the industry challenges perceptions and creates new possibilities for women who may have never considered lawn care and landscaping as a viable career path. By standing firm in her mission, she continues to inspire those around her to redefine success on their own terms.
As Lowcountry Queens Lawn and Landscape Service, LLC, grows, Richardson remains dedicated to her original vision: empowering others and providing top-tier services. With each lawn mowed, each landscape designed, and each customer served, she reinforces her commitment to excellence and progress.
