Our People

Different backgrounds.
One connected team.

Across our family of companies, our people bring together decades of experience in construction, landscape architecture, recreation, concrete, and client service.

That experience lives throughout the team: in the people who help plan a space, select the right products, coordinate the details, build it in the field, and support it over time. Our shared strength is knowing how those pieces fit together.

Together, throughout the year.

Room to learn and grow.

Hands-on training, mentorship, and learning across roles help people build skills and confidence. As our companies evolve, we want our people to see a future here and grow into greater responsibility.

Every contribution counts.

We recognize the work people do for customers and for one another, including the effort that happens behind the scenes. Dependability, collaboration, and a willingness to help make the whole team stronger.

Better, together.

Our annual meeting’s call to be “5% better” reflects a shared commitment to small, consistent improvements. Listening, sharing lessons, and helping a colleague move us forward together.

The next chapter of 3705 will be shaped by the people who build it. Their ideas, experience, and growth are central to our future.

Every role matters.

Behind every project are sales and inside-sales teams, estimators, project managers, field crews, inspectors, finance, contracts, human resources, and marketing. Together, they turn individual experience into dependable support for our customers and one another.
