The Choice is Yours…. Make the Right One
The President of GroundMasters graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminology and Sociology from Stonehill College. Bryan realized early on that law school was a nice thought given his degree, but his heart was someplace else. This company was founded because of Bryan’s passion…. turning it into a longstanding career was a dream come true. GroundMasters was incorporated in November of 2005. “Our reputation is built not only on the quality of our work, but also on the experience a client has during the process.” He is always looking for ways to improve and expand the business. “Our company’s foundation was built on a genuine respect for old fashioned hard work and a love of the outdoors. Watching our clients relish in a completed project is the ultimate reward of a tough day’s work”. With each year that passes, GroundMasters’ gratitude for the work we are privileged to do for so many, grows, and it all began with Bryan’s vision.
Vice President, Laura Craven, graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts from Stonehill College. In 2006 Laura brought her creative mind and unparalleled management skills to GroundMasters, growing it into the company it is today. With an appreciation for the importance of aesthetics and visually enhancing clients’ properties, Laura adds attention to detail in all that we do. Her efforts to put in overtime to ensure that all aspects of the corporation run smoothly and efficiently, are evident in the success of our company and quality of our work. Never letting go of her artistic background in the business world she is surrounded by today, all photography work seen on the GroundMasters’ website and publications are hers! A lifelong Bostonian and graduate of Boston Latin School, Laura resides in Charlestown where she enjoys spending free time with family and loved ones.
Our Operations Manager and Landscape Designer has a Bachelor of Science from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in Plant, Soil, and Insect Sciences. As a Massachusetts certified landscape professional (MCLP), an ISA certified arborist, and more than ten years experience, Hollie’s expertise in the green industry has been invaluable since joining the GroundMasters’ organization in 2015. Hollie spends most of her days on the road overseeing projects, estimating new work, and designing landscapes. A proverbial encyclopedia of plants (and their Latin names!), Hollie is extremely knowledgeable in her field, always keeping both beauty and functionality at the center of her attention.
Our administrative assistant has a Bachelor of Science from Bentley University in Marketing. Peter holds the important position of being the first point of contact for all clients to the GroundMasters Corporation’s headquarters. The positive first impression that clients experience when reaching out to GroundMasters, is the first step towards building a solid business relationship with us. Peter came to GroundMasters in the spring of 2018 with hopes of beginning a career path with an ever-changing task load and enjoyment of communicating with so many people each day…he certainly has found all of that and more! He possesses many skills when multitasking and is always willing to pitch in when an extra set of hands is necessary, in all aspects of our functionality.
Our construction supervisor has been with GroundMasters Corporation since 2008. Important to the sense of collegiality that the members of our GroundMasters’ crews work hard to maintain, all agree that Jose is a pleasure to work alongside! His work ethic and job performance are unrivaled, just as his masonry skills are a true art-form. Jose completes each job with the care it deserves and is fully aware that the sense of accomplishment the crew shares at the end of the day, is something to be proud of. Quality stonework involves much more than a visually beautiful ending; tight mortar joints, consistent spacing, hand selecting stone, and a clean finishing, all play a role in the completed project, and when Jose leaves a job, the client is left with a masterpiece.
Our resident mechanic can repair or rebuild anything from a small engine weed-whacker to a diesel Caterpillar machine engine. In 2016 Jason joined the ever-growing GroundMasters’ team, with over fifteen years of experience in the trade. His personal knowledge, coupled with his familiarity with the landscaping industry, makes him an asset to GroundMasters Corporation. Jason continues to exceed all expectations in his role as our on-staff mechanic, always ensuring GroundMasters is fully functional and operating at 100%.
