OUR STORY

we don’t believe in mediocrity

LET's work together

It was a leap of faith that brought Big Greens to life in 2006. Looking for more freedom and independence with work, Jeremy Gildow and his wife decided to start Big Greens Lawn Service and Snow Plowing. Since then, their business has bobbed and weaved its way through the commercial landscape industry providing everything from grounds maintenance to snow and ice removal to mulch blowing.

Leveraging all this industry expertise, Big Greens has since specialized in erosion and material placement, building an expert team of hardworking people who don’t believe in mediocrity.

Armed with industry-leading equipment, they provide fast and efficient results for landfills, commercial contractors, and landscapers.

At Big Greens, whether you’re a customer or a team member, we put people first, continually raising the bar to provide hassle-free service and meaningful work experiences.

With Big Greens, our founders sought to be bold in their pursuit of life, faith, and happiness. It’s the driving force behind everything we do, an approach that we aim to pass along in our workplace and community.

LET's work together

Gaile Gildow

Founder

Gaile has a big smile and a big heart. Don’t take either of those things to mean she’s a pushover when it comes to business. This is one woman who knows what she wants and how to get it. How many people do you know who can simultaneously run a business and homeschool two boys? We know one. Gaile.

When she’s done running numbers for Big Greens and teaching her kids math, she can be found volunteering at church or praying to God that her husband, Jeremy slows down! Big Greens wouldn’t be where it is today without her steady hand guiding the way.

Core Value: Determination

Number One Bucket List Destination: The western U.S.—in a camper with her husband, Jeremey.

Chris Buettner

Fleet and Facilities Manager

If there was ever a man that should be in charge of your fleet, it’s this guy. Chris was born with a wrench in his hand and grease on his cheek. After spending years as an owner-operator truck driver, he decided it was time to stop grinding gears and slow his roll at Big Greens. His wife Heather and two daughters appreciate him being home too (most days anyway).

Chris loves his family, trucks, and cracking a good joke when the time is the most inappropriate.

Core Value: Integrity

Number One Bucket List Destination: Yellowstone National Park

Jody Vrettos

General Manager

Jody’s a rockstar disguised as wife and mother to three beautiful daughters. If you were to describe her in one word, GREAT would come to mind. When she isn’t crushing it at Big Greens, Jody and her husband Nick are living life raising the girls, gardening, traveling, and enjoying friends. She can often be found in Maryland snow skiing, hiking, or having a chilled glass of bourbon on the dock.

Core Value: Integrity

Number One Bucket List Destination: Greece—with her husband and three girls to meet Nick’s family.

Joel Miracle

PRODUCTION MANAGER

Joel loves life, his wife, and their daughter. This man has a contagious culture that Big Greens is lucky to have. With 20+ years of Department of Transportation experience, Joel understands how to achieve excellence, drive his teams, service the customer, and make everything he touches a little better. And he doesn't hang up the work boots when he goes home. On his farm, he grows grain crops and raises hogs and cattle. When he does decide to rest it's at the ball game with a cold drink in his hand!

Jeremy Gildow

Founder

As the President and a Founding Member of Big Greens, Jeremy is all about integrity. You better believe that if Jeremy says it, he’ll follow through with it, one way or another. After Gaile (you know, the lady behind the scenes who keeps things running), Jeremy’s second love is moving fast and he can often be heard saying: If you’re not first, your last!

Jeremy has a big personality, but an even bigger heart. He’s always willing to help his fellow friend and is constantly pushing himself to give back to those around him. He values his faith, family, and the second amendment.

Core Value: Integrity

Number One Bucket List Destination: The western U.S.—in a camper and with side-by-sides to take it all in firsthand.

Lee Roberts

Account Executive

One of a kind, Lee has served Big Greens in multiple roles throughout his career. His newest challenge has got him in Sales & Marketing. After long days grinding it out, Lee retires home to his wife Brandie and their two boys Jude and David.

Just because he’s home, doesn’t mean the work stops. Lee gracefully volunteers his time helping with the boys’ sports teams and the church youth program. When he does find time to slow down, he’ll sneak out for an evening with Brandie so they can enjoy one another and love life.

Core Value: Integrity

Number One Bucket List Destination: England—to attend an English premier league soccer game.

Jeanne Gildow

Office Manager

If you were to look up servant’s heart in the dictionary, Jeanne’s picture would be there. The woman cares with more love and passion than you could gather up at a 70s Beatles concert. After raising two sons with the love of her life Gail (yes, we have two Gails one with an e), she continues to be a mother to us all. Whether you need a report run or have a stomachache, Jeanne’s there to help. She enjoys time with her husband exploring, drinking coffee, and watching people love life.

Core Value: Employee-First

Number One Bucket List Destination: Hawaii

Trent Gillam

President

If you know Trent, you’ll know why he’s a perfect fit for the role of Integrator. He’s a boss when it comes to goals and accountability. His wife of 20 years, Stacy, should know. Caught in his crosshairs for months, she finally agreed to go on a date after him asking and asking and asking. The rest is history.

No matter what goal he’s chasing, his first priority is the love he has for his family. You can typically find him coaching youth sports or attending a game cheering the team on. His drive is what people see, but those closest to him know he’s a big teddy bear hoping to push everyone to be a little better, every day.

Number One Bucket List Destination: Croatia

Josh Rousculp

Account Executive

Don’t let his quietness fool you. Rollie is always thinking, always working. Married to his high school sweetheart Kristen, the two have a beautiful daughter Baylor, a little Tasmanian Devil they are constantly chasing around.

When Rollie does get a moment to sit, he loves a good ball game, hanging with friends, and enjoying life. His determination is second to none, and he doesn’t look for praise, but instead asks for ways to better serve his team and clients.

Core Value: Determination

Number One Bucket List Destination: Europe

Spencer Matthews

Production Manager

It’s hard to find a man with more grit than Spencer Matthews. You’ll find Spencer in the field before you’ll find him behind a desk. He’s passionate about his team and the quality of service they provide. His high standards always drive his teams towards excellence. When he’s done grinding, you can find him in a deer stand taking a nap or casting a line hoping for a big catch.
