A Southern Wake County native with a deep-rooted connection to the community
Raised in Apex, NC, Ben spent his formative years engaged in a blend of sports, faith, and community activities. Home-schooled from K-12, he cultivated a love for the outdoors, which is a passion that still drives him today.
Ben and his wife, Michal currently reside in Fuquay Varina, with their beautiful daughter Summer where they continue to embrace the sense of community that defined Ben’s upbringing.
Growth With Uncommon Service
Professionally, Ben’s journey started with odd landscaping jobs in the neighborhood, leading to a pivotal role on a canvassing team for a local lawn care company after high school. This experience ignited his interest in the lawn care world and customer relations. Over the years, Ben honed his skills working for various landscaping companies, immersing himself in the nuances of turf and grass types.
In 2019, Ben founded Peak Sodding, driven by a vision to fill a void in the market for specialized sod installation services. His business was built on a commitment to excellence and a consultative approach. Ben defines Peak Sodding’s customer service as “Uncommon Service,” striving to exceed expectations in communication, organization, education, and quality of work.
Our goal is not just to line up as many jobs as we possibly can. We carry the burden of ensuring every project is set up for success as best as we possibly can. Even in the elements ‘outside of our control’ like maintenance and long term care, we are constantly making efforts to ensure our clients have realistic expectations and even resources to ensure they aren’t just going to be left with the same situation the following year.
