At B. H. Graning Landscapes, Inc., we are constantly evolving to better serve our clients and meet the growing demand for expert landscape services across Western North Carolina. As part of our ongoing commitment to excellence, we are proud to announce a major reorganization within our company. What was previously known as our Sylva Construction Division has now been restructured into two specialized teams: the GroundWorks Division and the BuildScape Division.
This strategic change is rooted in our mission to deliver the highest quality of service with enhanced communication, increased efficiency, and a refined focus on your unique project needs.
Why the Change?
Over the years, our Sylva Construction Division has grown in scope and scale—thanks to the trust of our clients and the hard work of our team. As our project portfolio expanded, so did the complexity and diversity of the services we offer. To ensure we continue to provide outstanding outcomes with streamlined project management, we’ve reorganized into two distinct divisions, each with a targeted area of expertise.
This allows us to match the right team with the right skillset to every job, ensuring greater attention to detail, quicker turnaround times, and personalized service from start to finish.
Introducing: The GroundWorks Division
The GroundWorks Division specializes in the foundational aspects of landscape construction—everything that sets the stage for a successful outdoor environment. This team focuses on:
- Site grading and land contouring
- Erosion and sediment control
- Drainage system installation
- Soil stabilization and hydroseeding
- Slope management and retaining systems
- Sea walls and docks













GroundWorks is equipped to tackle the challenges of Western North Carolina’s mountainous terrain, ensuring every site is stable, sustainable, and ready for the next phase of development. Their work safeguards your investment by preventing issues before they arise—protecting both your property and the environment.
Introducing: The BuildScape Division
The BuildScape Division is your go-to team for landscape design, construction, and installation. This full-service group brings creativity and craftsmanship together to build outdoor spaces that are functional, beautiful, and tailored to your lifestyle. Services include:
- Custom landscape design and master planning
- Patios, walkways, firepits, and retaining walls
- Irrigation systems with water-efficient design
- Low-voltage and dark sky-compliant lighting
- Outdoor structures like decks, pergolas, and fences
- Planting, sod installation, mulch, and stonework

Whether you’re enhancing curb appeal, expanding outdoor living, or investing in a full-scale transformation, BuildScape delivers projects with precision and passion.
What This Means for You
If you’re a current customer, rest assured—your project remains in good hands. You may now hear from a dedicated GroundWorks or BuildScape representative depending on the scope of your work. This alignment will not only simplify communication but also ensure that your project is being managed by a team with the specialized expertise it requires.
For future clients, this reorganization means even more clarity, professionalism, and purpose-built service. From stabilizing steep slopes to installing luxury patios, we have the right team ready to bring your vision to life.
