What Environmental Allies does

Environmental Allies is a privately held Texas civil construction company founded in 1999 by Steve Guinn, headquartered at 9730 Windfern Road in Houston. The firm operates across three integrated service lines: (1) Civil Construction, covering water, sewage, drainage, bridges, site work, earthwork, paving, road construction, concrete structures, site preparation, and underground utilities; (2) Municipal Utility District (MUD) services, providing mowing, maintenance, over-seeding, fertilization, and SWQ feature permitting and cleaning for MUD districts; and (3) SWPPP Consulting, delivering storm water pollution prevention planning, erosion and sediment control, post-construction stabilization, and water quality pond services. Operations are concentrated in the Greater Houston and Central Texas regions, with a Central Texas principal (Jimmy King) overseeing regional delivery.

The company employs 101-250 people and is led by President Cameron Friess with three Principals (Steven Crianza for Houston, Ryan Haynes for Municipal Services, and Jimmy King for Central Texas). Environmental Allies generates revenue through project-based professional services contracts with civil construction developers and recurring maintenance and compliance contracts with municipal utility districts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market approach is direct sales, primarily driven by phone inquiries (1-877-559-2225), website contact forms, and direct engagement with municipal and construction decision-makers. The company is founder-owned, with no disclosed external institutional investment, parent company, or subsidiary structure, and there is no public ticker or evidence of a public listing. Marketing presence is limited to a Wix-built website, a Facebook page, and a LinkedIn profile.
