Gladiator SOD and Landscaping is an owner-led landscaping company based on Oak Ridge Highway in Knoxville. We started with sod, and it is still what we are best known for. Over time, customers asked us to build the rest of the yard, so we grew into landscape design, grading and drainage, hardscaping, and masonry.
A Mason at the Helm
The owner is a mason by trade and is on the job for the stone and brick work. That is why our patios, retaining walls, and fire features start with a proper base or footing for Knoxville’s red clay, and why they are still level years later.
