How Our Snow Team Rose to the Challenge This Winter
This winter in Western North Carolina brought its fair share of weather extremes — from a major ice storm that tested infrastructure and nerves alike to a series of heavy snow events that kept driveways, sidewalks, and parking areas covered for days on end. Through it all, the B. H. Graning Landscapes Snow Team stepped up with professionalism, preparedness, and a commitment to safety that made all the difference for homeowners, businesses, and community partners throughout the region.
At the helm of our snow operations this season were Snow Operations Manager Brandon Glenn and Assistant Operations Manager Charlie Sturgis, whose leadership ensured every storm was met with a coordinated, efficient response in the field. Behind the scenes, Rebecca Mathis, Senior Bookkeeper, played an equally vital role in keeping operations organized and streamlined. Her outstanding management of storm documentation, tracking, and invoicing—often during back-to-back winter events—provided clarity, accuracy, and timely communication for our clients. Together, their combined field leadership and administrative precision created a seamless snow and ice management operation built on organization, accountability, and trust.
Team Organization That Keeps Weather at Bay
Snow and ice don’t wait — and neither do we. Long before the first flake fell, Brandon and Charlie worked alongside our crews to fine-tune our snow response plans, maintain equipment, coordinate material supplies, and communicate clearly with clients about expected conditions. Their proactive planning reflected the same organizational excellence that B. H. Graning Landscapes brings to all seasonal services, from landscape maintenance to winter readiness planning. (B.H.

When forecasts called for winter weather, the team didn’t just react — they prepared. Our crews monitored conditions closely and executed preventative measures like surface pre-treatment, allowing for safer, faster snow and ice management when conditions worsened. (B.H. Graning Landscapes)
Work Ethic That Shows Up — Every Time
Whether it was clearing residential driveways before sunrise or keeping long commercial drives accessible throughout a storm, our snow crew demonstrated unmatched dedication. In Western North Carolina where weather can swing suddenly and unpredictably, timing matters. Our teams arrived promptly, worked efficiently, and completed each job with an eye for detail — from clearing snow to managing ice and applying de-icers where needed. (B.H. Graning Landscapes)
What sets our team apart isn’t just the size of the storm they face — it’s how they handle it. From light dustings that still create slick risks to heavier accumulations that require full-scale plowing operations, the crew’s consistency and resilience ensured safe access to properties throughout the season.
Safety First — For Crew, Clients, and Community
Safety is at the heart of every snow operation we undertake. Our snow crew is fully trained to assess risks, handle professional-grade equipment, and manage ice control with products that enhance traction while respecting surfaces and the environment. (B.H. Graning Landscapes)
Under Brandon’s and Charlie’s leadership, safety briefings and ongoing training were standard before and during every storm response. By emphasizing safe practices and attention to detail at every turn, the team not only kept properties clear — they helped prevent slips, falls, and weather-related hazards for clients throughout the region.
Gratitude for a Season of Service
To every member of the snow crew who worked long hours, adapted to changing conditions, and upheld our commitment to excellence — thank you. From Brandon and Charlie’s leadership to the tireless efforts of our field crews, this season showcased what can happen when preparation, teamwork, and community care come together.
At B. H. Graning Landscapes, we’re proud of our snow operations and grateful for the trust our neighbors place in us year after year. Ready for next winter? We are — because of this team.
