Our team has taken a moment to reflect on last week’s winter weather in North Carolina. See their comments and photos below.

From Robyn Burklin, Client Solutions, Charlotte:
“Watching an entire fleet of landscape trucks turn into ice removal is impressive. What most people never see are the hours of logistics that happen before the first drop of snow (edit: ice) ever hits: Equipment checks. Routes planned and replanned. Crews staged. Phones on. Everyone waiting and ready.
I am grateful for our team at Bland Landscaping Company who have already been working around the clock to keep clients safe. That kind of proactive dedication often goes unnoticed and it deserves to be recognized. One of our seasoned team members shared that in 18 years he has never been home with his family during a snow or ice event. That stayed with me. Thank you to these crews. Asking for grace as conditions change. And hoping everyone stays safe.
Extra shout-out to Lauren Shivers who braved the crowds at Costco with me to make sure our team had snacks and hand-warmers for the days ahead.”
From Will Taylor, Landscape Professional and Business Developer, Apex:
“It’s not easy converting a full fleet from landscape maintenance operations to snow removal efforts in a matter of days. We are grateful to have very experienced management teams in place that operate on structure, consistency, and efficiency to get these conversions in place and our crews on sites to provide around-the-clock protection to keep your operations up and running—safely.
Snow removal in the south isn’t always pretty, but it’s a whole lot better when you have managers like Brandon James who don’t back down from anything.”
From Brandon James, Associate Branch Manager, Chapel Hill:
“Fantastic group effort to get everything prepped for the incoming weather. Effective planning, communication and execution from our entire team.”
From Tyler Britt, Associate Branch Manager, Matthews:
“What a great reminder—at the end of a snow event—of the beauty of the world and the landscapes we’re entrusted to maintain. There’s something special about being outside, seeing the results of our work and being reminded why we do what we do. I’ll take working outdoors any day of the week.”
