That’s why we’re excited to announce that B. H. Graning Landscapes, Inc. is officially a Certified Living Wage Employer through Just Economics of Western North Carolina!

What Does Living Wage Certification Mean?
Living Wage Certification is a program administered by Just Economics of Western North Carolina, an organization dedicated to advancing economic justice and improving the quality of life for working people throughout our region.
A living wage goes beyond the traditional minimum wage. It recognizes that employees need sufficient income to help cover everyday necessities such as housing, food, transportation, healthcare, and other essential expenses.
Through its certification program, Just Economics recognizes employers who commit to meeting established living wage standards. This recognition helps identify businesses that are taking meaningful steps toward building a more sustainable and equitable local economy.
For B. H. Graning Landscapes, this certification represents more than a designation. It reinforces a principle that has helped guide our company since its founding: when we invest in our employees, we invest in the future of our business and our community.
Our Employees Are Our Greatest Strength
From landscape maintenance and construction to grading, sitework, contracting, and landscape supply, our employees are the foundation of everything we accomplish.
Every beautifully maintained property, completed construction project, restored landscape, and satisfied customer represents the dedication of individuals working together toward a common goal.
We recognize that attracting and retaining talented professionals requires more than providing a paycheck. It means creating an environment where employees feel valued, respected, supported, and encouraged to grow.
Our commitment to our workforce extends beyond wages through opportunities for professional development, leadership advancement, continuing education, and employee recognition.
Programs such as BHGL University, our internal employee training initiative, provide team members with opportunities to expand their knowledge, strengthen their skills, and prepare for future leadership responsibilities.
By investing in both fair compensation and professional growth, we’re working to build careers, not just fill positions.
Strengthening the Communities We Call Home
As a locally owned and operated company serving Western North Carolina, we understand the importance of supporting the people and communities around us.
Our employees live, work, raise families, and contribute to the same communities where we provide our services. From Sylva and Canton to Cashiers, Asheville, and surrounding areas, we take pride in being part of the local economy.
Living wages help strengthen that economy by supporting working families and allowing more of our neighbors to participate in the communities they help build.
We believe responsible business practices create benefits that extend far beyond our own operations. When local employers prioritize their workforce, the entire region has an opportunity to grow stronger.
Building a Stronger Future Together
As B. H. Graning Landscapes continues to grow, our commitment to our employees remains central to who we are.
We’re proud to join other Western North Carolina businesses recognized by Just Economics for their commitment to living wages, and we’re grateful to the organization for its work supporting employees and employers throughout the region.
Most importantly, we want to thank our incredible team. Your dedication, professionalism, and hard work make our success possible. This certification is another opportunity to recognize the value you bring to our company every single day.
At B. H. Graning Landscapes, we’re proud to be mountain grown, locally known, and committed to building a workplace where our people can thrive.
