P&J: Opportunity Driven
When Ted Phillips started his land clearing company 70 years ago, he primarily did one thing and did it well. P&J’s first big break was clearing sections of the West Virginia Turnpike as part of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, followed by thousands of acres of land for TVA throughout the Southeast. Our earthwork capabilities expanded, and so did our
company. We grew our in-house fleet of heavy equipment, hired dedicated professionals, and learned on the job. In the 1980s, we made a strategic decision to move the company from Robbinsville, North Carolina, to Knoxville, Tennessee, which is still our corporate headquarters, and establish a regional base of operations outside of Tampa, Florida.
