“Messiah College has a strong working relationship with Gleim Environmental Group. Recently, they provided assistance with a stream restoration project, bridge foundation stabilization and erosion corrections. Gleim has managed to hire a group of employees that take great pride in their work and have always provided excellent results in the work they do.”

Bradley | Messiah College

“In our experience, the Gleim team goes far above and beyond the norm in expertise, cost control and in suggesting alternatives to our design staff including a compact schedule. In addition, I consider them as my “go to” excavator for smaller projects too, because I know the job will be done correctly, efficiently and at a fair cost.”

“I can’t tell how pleased we are with our creek bank restoration. We had an erosion problem caused when ice on our creek seriously gauged an area close to our home. Gleim suggested mudsills, which protect the creek habitat and property value. The crew was exceptional; both hard working and professional. After two days, they wrapped up the job and reseeded the lawn. Our creek bank looks beautiful and structurally sound. We are incredibly grateful to the team at Gleim for their problem-solving.”
