April Business of the Month: Big Greens

Founded in 2006 by Jeremy and Gaile Gildow, Big Greens has become a prominent name in the environmental services industry. What began as a modest operation with just a mower, truck, trailer, and a plow, has blossomed into a thriving enterprise offering a range of high-quality services across Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and neighboring states. With a focus on expert services, exceptional

customer service and complete customer satisfaction, Big Greens has experienced significant growth over its 18 years in business, particularly in the last 5 years.

Big Greens is more than just a business; it's a family endeavor rooted in the values of hard work, integrity, and community. Jeremy and Gaile's vision to create something bigger has led to the establishment of a company that combines expertise with exceptional service. Big Greens specializes in providing high quality environmental services, blower truck services, and vegetation management services to commercial properties. They also specialize in seeding, erosion control,

and material placement. Their ambitious goals for 2024 include completing 1,500 acres of seeding, placing 15,000 cubic yards of blown material, and managing 5,000 acres of vegetation. These targets underscore their commitment to delivering on promises and meeting client needs efficiently. Some of their clients include solar farms, construction sites, landfills and commercial properties all over the state, with capabilities to work on some of the largest projects happening across the region.
​
Located in Logan County, Big Greens chose this area for their business because it is their home and community. They're deeply entrenched in the local community, attending church, supporting local schools, and fostering relationships that extend beyond business. This connection to the community fuels their dedication to excellence in service. Over the years, Big Greens has learned from and grown relationships with many along the way – including local banks, dealerships, suppliers, and workers. They believe these experiences have only made the business better over the years.

One intriguing aspect of Big Greens is that it is a woman-owned business. Gaile’s focus is to provide excellence and experience to each and every customer and project. For aspiring entrepreneurs, Jeremy and Gaile emphasize the importance of finding a mentor and persevering in the face of doubt. They encourage others to chase their
dreams relentlessly. For Big Greens, being a Chamber member has paved the way to working alongside other local businesses in a growing community.

Big Greens' marketing strategy and business model revolve around meeting deadlines, providing simple solutions to complex problems, and prioritizing customer service by loving and serving people. This customer-centric approach has earned them a reputation for reliability and excellence. Big Greens is always on the lookout for great teammates who share their core values – Integrity, Determination, Collaboration, Employee First, and Excellence. Currently, they're seeking Area Sales Managers who are driven to develop business relationships in the Construction Industry.

In 2024, Big Greens anticipates continued growth and success. With a solid foundation and a dedicated team, they’re ready to seize opportunities and make a difference in the environmental services sector.
