roots are deeply entrenched in the erosion control/landscape industry. The company began as the offspring of Gordon Construction Corp. and a growing public awareness and concern over erosion, the siltation of our waterways and protection of our environment.
Leon and Tom Gordon and their first sod harvesting machine
In the mid 1950's on the advice of MDOT engineer Gordon Hunter, Leon built the first hydraulic seeder to be used in Maine for the anticipated construction of Interstate 95. According to Tom Gordon, the machine was powered by five gasoline motors and one of the problems was not knowing which of the motors had run out of gas. Soon after that Leon purchased his first FINN hydroseeder.
was founded in response to the need for a knowledgeable company to supply equipment and materials to the erosion control and landscape industry.
Our two office/warehouse locations; Pittsfield, Maine and Candia, New Hampshire are staffed with associates with a combined total of over 150 years experience in hydroseeding, landscaping and erosion control. We are always happy to provide sound advice on equipment and materials currently available. Our research continues, as we begin the new millennium, keeping our commitment to developing and offering the best products to our industry.
