Happy Treason Day!! You Ungrateful Colonials. 😉 Happy Birthday America

We love to pass on compliments like this to our team:

"I just wanted to reach out and thank you and your team profusely for the amazing work they did at Science Square. Having worked with many landscape contractors across the US over the years, the commitment to quality and honoring the design that your team exercised was what designers dream about. As you know, it doesn’t matter how great our drawings and renderings look if they can’t be faithfully executed in the field, and you all crushed it. The attention to detailing and the ability of your crews to interpret the level of quality we were expecting is what makes these spaces look and feel as great as they do."

With just under 3.5 million square feet of managed turf, these guys get their steps in! Here's to all of our hard working maintenance crews and managers who are keeping commercial properties beautiful.

What a great time with Associated General Contractors of Georgia at The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa where our team accepted the first place award for Fourth Ward, played in the sand, welcomed the new AGC President, played a bit of golf, and met new friends. 🏖️

Congratulations to all those who received awards over the weekend! 🎉

D-Day June 6, 1944. The eyes of the world are upon you.
In the early hours of June 6, under the cover of darkness, American and British paratroopers dropped into Normandy from more than 1,200 aircraft. Once daylight appeared, gliders brought in additional paratroopers. American airborne forces of the 82nd and 101st worked valiantly to achieve their inland objectives, including the capture of Sainte-Mere Eglise and securing key approaches to the Allied beachhead.

The largest naval bombardment ever seen began at 5:30 AM, lasting only forty minutes. American battleships supported by cruisers and destroyers and the British Royal Navy with a similar group of ships shelled gun emplacements and defensive positions around their designated beaches.

The sunrise on June 6 brought with it wave after wave of landing vessels, carrying the more than 150,000 American, British, Canadian, and French ground troops who stormed some fifty miles of coastline in Northern France, beaches fiercely defended by the Germans.

Strong currents pushed the Americans 2,000 yards south of Utah Beach, forcing them to march that distance back to the intended landing areas to seize German fortifications. They still secured Utah by day’s end.

The Germans were aware of the importance of the sector designated Omaha Beach, which the Allies would need to connect and secure the beachheads together, and made certain it was heavily defended. Fortifications and elevated terrain meant the American landing on Omaha would be the bloodiest that day.

The British secured Gold Beach with the help of artillery, tanks, and air support. Assuming Allied landing craft could not make it past the offshore rocks, the Germans did not defend Juno Beach as heavily. Canadian forces pushed the Germans out and secured Juno’s beachhead by mid-afternoon. Tasked with securing Sword Beach, the British were three miles from their intended objective at Caen by day’s end. Nightfall on D-Day found Allied forces past the German defenses on all five beachheads. Hitler’s vaunted Atlantic Wall lasted less than twenty-four hours.

Eighty years later we remember the 4,426 allied souls lost.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. -Steve Jobs

This is part of the finished product of the ground level area of Georgia Tech's Science Square; another project we were proud to team up with Brasfield & Gorrie on. Today it looks spectacular, but swipe and you'll see the before photo from just 2.5 months ago. You'll see just what our crews can do in that short period of time. From mud and iron, handmade wooden forms and concrete trucks to a flawless finish. Two and a half months to a gorgeous end result.

Esto es parte del producto terminado del área a nivel del suelo de Science Square de Georgia Tech; Otro proyecto en el que estábamos orgullosos de asociarnos con . Hoy luce espectacular, pero desliza y verás la foto de antes de hace apenas 2,5 meses. Verá lo que nuestros equipos pueden hacer en ese corto período de tiempo. Desde barro y hierro, formas de madera hechas a mano y camiones de hormigón hasta un acabado impecable. Dos meses y medio para un magnífico resultado final.

While many may make a big deal about these things, we recognize that today isn't the official start of summer, The Great Mattress Sale or the weekend the neighborhood pool opens, but rather a solemn reminder of those who gave their lives so that we might enjoy the liberties that we have today. On this Memorial Day, we remember, reflect and honor those who bravely served our country and gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms, putting on their uniforms for the very last time.

"To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." Thomas Campbell

Si bien muchos pueden darle mucha importancia a estas cosas, reconocemos que hoy no es el inicio oficial del verano, la Gran Venta de Colchones o el fin de semana en que abre la piscina del vecindario, sino más bien un recordatorio solemne de aquellos que dieron sus vidas para que nosotros podríamos disfrutar de las libertades que tenemos hoy. En este Día de los Caídos, recordamos, reflexionamos y honramos a quienes sirvieron valientemente a nuestro país y dieron el máximo sacrificio por nuestras libertades, vistiendo sus uniformes por última vez.

Flashback Friday to 2016 with The Big Pour at

It's only mid-May, but it's been such a great year already with our partnership with Gateway85 Gwinnett CID. Our maintenance crews have worked hard in order to enhance the district's appearance and help them reach their 2024 goals.

A view of the north section of 2nd Avenue in downtown Nashville. Looking just fantastic! Although cars still aren’t permitted here, all businesses are open and accessible by pedestrians.

Georgia Tech's Science Square is now open for business! The landscape, IPE decking, concrete...all of it looks absolutely amazing if we do say so ourselves. Swipe to see just a few of our hardworking crew members behind it all.

¡La Science Square de Georgia Tech ya está abierta al público! El paisaje, las terrazas de IPE, el hormigón... todo parece absolutamente increíble si lo decimos nosotros mismos. Desliza para ver solo algunos de los trabajadores miembros de nuestro equipo detrás de todo.

This photo.
This one simple little photo.
It says quite a bit about Gibson. About the work we do each day. About the atmosphere we create among our people.
This one simple photo could be 6 employees on the same crew. It could be employees celebrating a work anniversary. Or? What if we told you it was one simple photo of 6 employees who are all related? Sisters, cousins, husband, wife, aunts, daughters. One shot of what we're creating at Gibson each day. This is family. The atmosphere we have, like our motto states, isn't just uniting people and place; it's uniting the people who build the spaces.

Oh, and one more thing? There are at least 3 family members missing from this picture. ❤ The atmosphere here is one that our employees bring their family to.

Esta foto.

Esta pequeña y sencilla foto.

Dice bastante sobre Gibson. Sobre el trabajo que hacemos todos los días. Sobre el ambiente que creamos entre nuestra gente.

Esta simple foto podría ser de 6 empleados del mismo equipo. Podrían ser empleados celebrando un aniversario de trabajo. ¿O? ¿Y si te dijéramos que era una simple foto de 6 empleados que están todos relacionados? Hermanas, primos, marido, esposa, tías, hijas. Una foto de lo que estamos creando en Gibson cada día. Esto es familia. La atmósfera que tenemos, como dice nuestro lema, no es solo unir a las personas y al lugar; es unir a las personas que construyen los espacios.

Ah, ¿y una cosa más? Hay al menos 3 miembros de la familia que faltan en esta foto. ❤ El ambiente aquí es al que nuestros empleados traen a su familia.

We love this shot by Seth of WanderDrone showcasing our work at Centennial Olympic Park. From landscape, irrigation and brick pavers to bike lanes, granite masonry, the water wall, the amphitheater and more. But wait, our people don't just plant trees or pour concrete. They don't simply build seat walls or bike lanes. Our people are creating spaces where friends and families gather. Spaces to fly kites and have popsicles in the hot summer sun. Spaces where, once all the work is finished, they can take their own children and grandchildren back to, grab hold of their little hand and say, "I built this space. I made this and because of my hard work and effort, people are enjoying this." We'd like to thank all of those hard at work today and everyday. Because of your dedication and teamwork, we have beautiful spaces where we can sit, play, run, bike and have a popsicle or two in the summer sun.

Nos encanta esta foto de Seth de WanderDrone que muestra nuestro trabajo en el Centennial Olympic Park. Desde paisajismo, riego y adoquines hasta carriles para bicicletas, mampostería de granito, el muro de agua, el anfiteatro y más. Pero esperen, nuestra gente no se limita a plantar árboles o verter hormigón. No se limitan a construir muros para asientos o carriles para bicicletas. Nuestra gente está creando espacios donde se reúnen amigos y familias. Espacios para volar cometas y tomar paletas heladas bajo el caluroso sol del verano. Espacios donde, una vez terminado todo el trabajo, puedan llevar a sus propios hijos y nietos, tomarles la manita y decir: "Yo construí este espacio. Yo hice esto y gracias a mi trabajo y esfuerzo, la gente está disfrutando esto." Nos gustaría agradecer a todos aquellos que trabajan duro hoy y todos los días. Gracias a su dedicación y trabajo en equipo, tenemos hermosos espacios donde podemos sentarnos, jugar, correr, andar en bicicleta y tomar una paleta o dos bajo el sol del verano.

Sometimes you just need a new perspective.
The Neuhoff District, along Nashville's Cumberland River, has given us just that. A brand new outlook on mixing the old with the new.

A veces simplemente necesitas una nueva perspectiva.
El distrito Neuhoff, a lo largo del río Cumberland en Nashville, nos ha brindado una nueva perspectiva sobre cómo mezclar lo antiguo con lo nuevo.

Beautiful day in Nashville today!

This morning we were more than happy to partner with our favorite nonprofit to freshen up their community hub on Atlanta’s Westside.

Spring is springing quite nicely at the new Arthur M. Blank Hospital in Atlanta. A quick swipe to the left will show you just how brown winter really is. Thank goodness for warmer weather and pops of color.

From the grower, to the crane to the green roof. We love this look on Star Metals Atlanta in West Midtown.

Happy 26th birthday to Gibson Landscape!
Graduated from Auburn University with $500 in graduation money, a dream and $9500 from the sale of a truck. I bought a house and started the business all in a few weeks. Got married to my high school sweetheart a few months later. That's her driving the truck that's pulling me on the borrowed hydroseeder. She was a student teacher during the week and we were a team after school and on the weekends. We gradually added to the team and slowly built something out of nothing. We had absolutely nothing. Working out of the home office of our first home. No advertising, no big billboards bought. Simply doing what we say we're going to do and when we say we're going to do it and by building relationships with clients who turn into great friends. Gibson Landscape wouldn't be at the 26 year mark without our incredible team of employees that we lovingly refer to as family. Their dedication to detail and service are like no other. This day is for you Gibson Family! Happy birthday to you!

¡Feliz cumpleaños número 26 a Gibson Landscape!
Graduado de la Universidad de Auburn con $500 en dinero de graduación, un sueño y $9500 de la venta de una camioneta. Compré una casa y comencé el negocio en unas pocas semanas. Me casé con mi novia de la secundaria unos meses después. Esa es ella conduciendo el camión que me lleva en la hidrosembradora prestada. Ella era estudiante de maestra durante la semana y éramos un equipo después de la escuela y los fines de semana. Poco a poco nos sumamos al equipo y poco a poco construimos algo de la nada. No teníamos absolutamente nada. Sin publicidad, sin comprar grandes vallas publicitarias. Simplemente haciendo lo que decimos que vamos a hacer y cuando decimos que lo vamos a hacer y construyendo relaciones con clientes que se convierten en grandes amigos. Gibson Landscape no habría cumplido 26 años sin nuestro increíble equipo de empleados al que cariñosamente nos referimos como familia. Su dedicación al detalle y al servicio no se parece a ningún otro. ¡Este día es para ustedes, Familia Gibson! ¡Feliz cumpleaños!

He is risen!
May this most holy day be brimming with Christ's love and kindness.

¡Él ha resucitado!
Que este día santísimo esté lleno del amor y la bondad de Cristo.

Opening Day 2024!
Did that take forever or what?!
