Gibson Landscape Services

What Gibson Landscape Services does

Gibson Landscape Services is a privately held, founder-owned commercial landscape company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, with a Major Projects Division base in Atlanta. The firm provides end-to-end landscape services across the Southeast United States, organized around two interrelated business lines: project-based landscape and hardscape construction (planting, irrigation, decorative concrete, pavers, site walls, water features, green roofs, and complex concrete work) and recurring landscape maintenance programs for healthcare, hospitality, retail, corporate, multifamily, government, and educational clients. Differentiated capabilities include self-performed hardscape work, an in-house GPS equipment tracking system for work order creation and mechanic dispatch, and proprietary construction techniques such as the hanging-stairs method and remote concrete pumping for sites inaccessible to trucks.

The company targets large institutional, hospitality, healthcare, and government clients across Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, and broader Southeast markets, pursuing work through bids, RFPs, and direct developer/general contractor relationships. Revenue is generated through both one-time fixed-price construction contracts and recurring maintenance contracts, supplemented by snow and ice removal, enhancement, and seasonal color services. Notable projects include Nashville's $52 million West Riverfront Park, the $408 million Martin Army Community Hospital (ENR Best Healthcare Project Southeast), the 53-acre Piedmont Park Expansion, Atlanta's Fourth Ward development (63,000+ man-hours, zero safety issues), and multi-campus work for Duke University within a $1 billion consortium. The company is led by founder Tony Gibson (President; ENR Southeast Top 20 Under 40, 2015) and operates with 101–250 employees under the tagline 'Uniting People and Place,' holding LEED Silver and Gold certifications across multiple assignments.
