Heritage is proud to announce that we’ve been recognized as one of South Carolina’s Top 20 Best Family-Owned Businesses by SC Biz News. Our company was featured in the December issue of the Columbia Regional Business Report. This award celebrates South Carolina-based businesses that excel in market growth, employee support, community engagement, industry leadership, and innovation.
“We are honored to be recognized as one of South Carolina’s best family-owned businesses,” said Heritage President Ashley McLeod. “This achievement reflects the dedication of our employees, the trust of our clients, and the strength of our community. Founded by my parents, Robert and Debbie McLeod, almost 40 years ago, Heritage has grown from a Columbia-based family business into a third-generation company with statewide branches in the Upstate and Lowcountry.”
Driving Innovative Solutions
For nearly 40 years, Heritage has been a trusted leader in landscaping, committed to delivering quality commercial services across South Carolina. We continue to innovate to better serve our clients which include sustainable solutions, technology implementation, and employee green spaces to provide exceptional value to our clients and the communities we serve.
Our sustainable solutions include reducing environmental impact by using battery-powered equipment, organic fertilizers, robotic technologies, and native plants that enhance biodiversity while minimizing resource use. Additionally, we design spaces that promote health and well-being—such as courtyards, recreational areas, and walking trails—to help employers improve employee recruitment, retention, and performance.
Commitment to Community
Giving back to the community is at the core of who we are. Over the years, we’ve proudly provided pro-bono landscaping services for organizations like Transitions Homeless Shelter and Christ Central Ministries. We also actively support initiatives such as the Midlands Fatherhood Coalition and local schools, further reflecting our commitment to making a positive difference in the communities we serve.
Looking Ahead
As we look to the future, our goals are clear: to strengthen client relationships, foster a positive workplace culture, and continue to enhance the communities we serve. By combining innovation with our family’s legacy of excellence, we aim to continue growing and serving South Carolina and beyond.
To our incredible employees, thank you for your hard work and dedication. This recognition would not have been possible without you. Together, we look forward to an even brighter future.
