Ronnie Guthrie, Former Owner of RSG Landscaping
Ronnie Guthrie, the distinguished former owner of RSG Landscaping is a seasoned leader whose profound expertise and hands-on approach have transformed the commercial landscaping industry across the Mid-Atlantic. Headquartered in Concord, VA, with branch offices in Roanoke, Richmond, and Charlottesville, RSG Landscaping, under Ronnie’s stewardship, became a beacon of excellence, delivering stunning and functional outdoor spaces for nearly 35 years.
As a visionary entrepreneur, Ronnie built RSG Landscaping into a Small Business Certified, Class A contractor renowned for its comprehensive services, including grounds maintenance, hydro-seeding, erosion control, bio-retention ponds, green roofs, and intricate hardscaping like retaining walls and pavers. His deep understanding of horticulture, site preparation, and irrigation system design ensured every project, from large-scale government contracts to high-end residential landscapes, met rigorous standards of quality and safety. Ronnie’s commitment to sourcing premium plant material from RSG’s sister company, Guthrie Nursery, Inc., with a 30-acre selection and a one-year warranty, guaranteed lasting beauty and value for clients across municipalities, schools, healthcare facilities, and commercial properties.
Ronnie’s leadership was defined by his hands-on approach and dedication to team development. Known for personally training maintenance crews, he emphasized teamwork and clear communication as the cornerstones of success, fostering a culture of accountability and pride. His ability to manage complex projects, oversee efficient workflows, and maintain stringent budgets earned RSG glowing testimonials from clients like Randolph College, Wintergreen Resort, College of William & Mary, and Windle Construction, who praised the company’s professionalism, timeliness, and exemplary work.
A champion of community engagement, Ronnie led RSG to give back through initiatives like the “Adopt A Highway” program, Project Evergreen’s Green Care for Troops, and partnerships with the United Way of Central Virginia and the American Cancer Society. His commitment to safety, reflected in RSG’s Nationally Recognized Safe Landscaping Services, set industry benchmarks, ensuring client properties were both beautiful and secure.
With an infectious enthusiasm, Ronnie now brings his wealth of experience to support AideLand in a new consulting role focused on hauling and construction. His passion shines through in AideLand's beautiful backyard oases, specializing in the design and construction of commercial and residential pools that elevate outdoor living. Ronnie’s dedication to excellence and collaboration continues to drive innovation, making him an invaluable asset to AideLand and the communities they serve.
