Starting at Environmental Care in 1992 and advancing through roles at ValleyCrest and BrightView, he has always valued deep personal connections over transactions.

He emphasizes strategic communication to ensure transparency and accountability, particularly through his "triangle of communication" approach among stakeholders.

With over 25 years in the green industry, Brandt Dillon is a master of transforming landscapes and businesses alike. From founding Texscape Services, LLC to nurturing it into a thriving $24 million enterprise, Brandt's journey is a testament to the power of resilience and strategic focus. His deliberate shift from diverse project engagements to prioritizing commercial maintenance illustrates a targeted approach that significantly increased profitability and operational efficiency. The sale of Texscape marked a profound shift for Brandt, from entrepreneur to employee, navigating the complex dynamics of a larger corporate environment. Reflecting on this transition, Brandt shares, "It's not a greed thing; it's more of a, 'Hey, I'm not going to do $15 million worth of work here and make $200,000.' I'm just not going to do it." This candid insight into his mindset shift underscores the challenges and emotional adjustments that come with moving from leading one's own company to becoming part of a broader organizational structure.
