NOTES FOR EDITORS:

Hugh Glidewell, owner, formed ProLandscapes, Inc. in 1993. His dedication and effort has driven the company from a start-up to one of the leading top tier landscape contractors in the Southeast United States. While 80 percent of its work is in the greater Atlanta metro region, it is frequently invited to go with existing customers out of state and has successfully completed numerous projects in Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, North & South Carolina and Tennessee. Due to the way Hugh Glidewell manages ProLandscapes and his consistent push towards customer satisfaction roughly 80 percent of its business is repeat work for numerous customers. In almost all cases after completing the first project for a new customer, ProLandscapes is able to negotiate many subsequent projects. Its work focus is on multifamily where few people match Hugh Glidewell’s understanding of the customers’ budget and ability to make the job work within that budget, and large commercial projects that demand diligent attention & management. Large enough to man & successfully complete multimillion-dollar projects, ready to satisfy the smallest details, ProLandscapes, Inc., is always ready for the next project.
