Snow’s Landscaping & Lawncare Inc. Leverages Kubota Equipment for Wide Range of Projects

Snow’s Landscaping & Lawncare Inc., established in 1997 by Frank Snow, started as a small operation born from his interest in working outdoors and creating a sustainable business. Snow transitioned from a career in the stoplight industry to landscaping, driven by a desire to turn his property into a productive venture.

“I started with just 16 acres of grass and advertised in the classified section of the newspaper,” Snow recalled. “It was a side job at first while I worked full time putting up stoplights in North Carolina. Eventually, with a few good contracts, I turned it into a full-time business.”

Today, Snow’s Landscaping specializes in commercial maintenance and installations, with occasional residential projects. Snowhill Turf Farm, the company’s turf operation, supplies grass for many of its projects.

“About 99% of what we do is commercial work,” Snow said. “Our projects include multifamily units, shopping centers and large-scale installations. Recently, we’ve been working on condominiums in Holden Beach and Wilmington.”

Snow’s Landscaping operates primarily within a 100-mile radius of Fayetteville, N.C., covering parts of North Carolina and northern South Carolina. The company’s centralized operations allow for efficient service delivery across its territory.

“We focus on Fayetteville, Southern Pines and Aberdeen for residential maintenance,” Snow explained. “For commercial work, we extend farther, but we try to stay within a manageable range. Keeping things close ensures we can maintain quality and efficiency.”

The company currently employs around 80 people, with plans to expand in the coming years. Snow recently acquired additional property to provide more space for equipment and employee facilities.

“We’ve been at a standstill for growth due to space limitations,” Snow explained. “But now, with the new property, we can add more employees and equipment, which is crucial for our long-term plans. It’s exciting to think about the opportunities ahead.”

Snow attributes much of the company’s success to its team-oriented culture and dedicated workforce. He believes creating a supportive environment has been essential in fostering employee satisfaction and productivity.

“We have great employees who work well together,” Snow proudly stated. “Everyone knows that their best efforts benefit the team as a whole. It’s a collaborative atmosphere, and that’s the key to our success.”

Kubota powers success:

A cornerstone of Snow’s Landscaping’s operations is its fleet of Kubota equipment, supplied by Linder Turf & Tractor. Snow has relied on Kubota for over 20 years to handle everything from grading to turf maintenance.

“We use Kubota SVL75 compact track loaders for grading as well as loading and unloading pallets that are 2,000 to 2,500 pounds,” noted Snow. “We use various attachments like rakes and four-in-one buckets. The weight of the SVL75 fits right for our company and the traveling that we do, and the power that it demonstrates is great.”

Snow continued, “We use M6-111 tractors for mowing roughly 990 acres of turf grass. They’ve proven hour after hour to be very dependable.”

In addition to their versatility, Kubota machines excel in fuel efficiency, making them cost-effective for a business that operates equipment intensively year-round. Whether in the field or on the turf farm, this efficiency reduces overhead and supports the company’s long-term sustainability.

“The efficiency of the fuel is phenomenal,” declared Snow.

Service beyond the sale:

Snow credits Linder Turf & Tractor with providing exceptional service and support, ensuring minimal downtime for his equipment. This relationship, which began over two decades ago with Cumberland Tractor, has remained strong through changes in ownership.

“Service after the sale is the biggest factor for us,” Snow reflected. “Linder’s support has been phenomenal. They’re dependable. Whether it’s repairs or advice, Linder is always quick to respond and ensure our equipment is running smoothly.”

The personal connections Snow has built with Linder’s team, including Fayetteville Branch Manager Charlie McCullen and sales representative Gary Jacobsen, have also been a significant part of the relationship. He values the consistency and reliability of Linder’s staff and services.

“One of their mechanics became a close friend over the years and has been instrumental in keeping our equipment in top shape,” Snow shared. “It’s those relationships that make a difference when you’re running a business.”

Snow sees no reason to look elsewhere for equipment or support, citing Linder’s local presence and excellent inventory as major advantages.

“They’re just five minutes down the road, and their team is always ready to help,” Snow said. “That convenience, combined with their reliability, makes them an essential partner for us.”

Growth fueled by quality:

Looking ahead, Snow is optimistic about the company’s future and plans to expand its commercial operations. He anticipates a 10% growth in the next year, driven by strong client relationships and an increasing service area.

“Our customers are growing, and we grow with them,” Snow stated. “By maintaining quality and reliability, we’ll continue to build on our existing relationships while welcoming new ones.”

Snow’s Landscaping remains committed to delivering top-quality service and creating lasting value for its clients. Snow takes pride in the transformative work his team does and the trust Snow's Landscaping has earned over the years.

“We aim to make life as easy as possible for our clients with as few callbacks as we can manage,” Snow said. “When you combine great employees, dependable equipment and strong partnerships, the future looks bright.”
