WE ARE DIFFERENT

We communicate what we are going to do then we do it.

Brad Swortzel founded BWS Landscaping in 2011 with just a push mower and a truck. Over time, we have grown to become a leading provider of commercial landscape maintenance services in Richmond, VA. Our goal is to make life easier for our clients by maintaining open lines of communication and delivering exceptional service. We take pride in upholding the highest professional standards and value building strong relationships with those who are passionate about their landscaping.

Mission

To beautify lives through landscapes. 

Every decision we make - how we grow, lead, and serve - comes back to that mission. It’s not just about maintaining beautiful outdoor spaces; it’s about creating opportunities for our team members, building strong relationships, and improving the lives of those we work with and those we serve.


Vision

To be a nationally recognized leader in the commercial landscape maintenance space while consistently creating growth opportunities for our team members.


Values

Grow to Give: We believe growth isn’t just about revenue - it’s about creating opportunities for others by helping our organization expand responsibly.

Do the Right Thing: We act with integrity, keep our commitments, and follow through on our word. This has fostered trust among our team, clients, and community.

Value Relationships: We prioritize people over transactions. The long-term success of our business depends on how we communicate, collaborate, and care for those around us.

Fueled by Purpose: We bring passion to our work and aim to achieve something bigger than ourselves.


Culture

The family-like atmosphere throughout the company is extremely important.  We care deeply about our team and our customers.  We carefully select a team of professionals who share our mission, vision, and values.  The beliefs and principles of the company are seen and acknowledged throughout our team and community.  We live by the golden rule – we treat others as we want to be treated. We provide the tools and systems and empower everyone to perform at high levels.  We want everyone to win, and we expect to win.
