Building an Enterprise
When Ted Phillips started his clearing company 70 years ago, he primarily did one thing, and he did it well. P&J’s first big break was clearing sections of the West Virginia Turnpike, followed by thousands of acres of land for TVA throughout the Southeast as part of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956. 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 began branching out from our mountain hamlet in Robbinsville and establishing regional offices in Knoxville, Tennessee, which is still our corporate headquarters, and outside of Tampa, Florida.
