In 1976, Tom Bland had a vision: to create landscapes that would not just enhance the beauty of North and South Carolina but transform how people experience the outdoors. With this passion and a small team, he founded Bland Landscaping as a Commercial Landscape Installation provider. That dream has since grown into a 1,100+ employee, full-service landscape company at the forefront of the industry. Today, we are one of the Southeast’s largest and most respected full-service providers, delivering comprehensive solutions across every phase of landscaping. Our journey has been shaped by partnerships with visionary developers like Chatham Park, Wood Partners, Forestar, Crescent Communities, and Preston Development. As communities mature from construction to vibrant neighborhoods, we remain a trusted landscape maintenance partner—nurturing what we’ve helped create. In the early 2000s, we evolved into a full-service maintenance provider, now representing 90% of company revenue, while continuing to serve large-scale installation and lake & pond projects in strategic markets. Still family-operated by Tom’s sons, Kurt and Matt Bland, we carry forward the values he instilled: passion, innovation, and a deep commitment to excellence. As we look ahead, we remain focused on building landscapes that inspire, connect, and endure.
