The landscape team at Outerland takes their role in creating a beautiful yard to heart.

Caleb Simms, president of Outerland says, “There is no room for ‘It’s not my job,’ here. There is only room for ‘How can I help?’”

The company was recently acknowledged with two awards at the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Cape Cod (HB&RACC) for Excellence in Outdoor Living Space (under $250,000) and Excellence in Landscape/Garden Design (under $100,000) as well as a Shooting Star award given to their hardworking project manager, Taylor Ogg. “Taylor really exemplifies our company work ethic. We put a high value on drive, organization, and being a team player and to a fault she will be the first to say, ‘How can I help?’ ” Simms expounds; “She came to us looking for a new opportunity and spent a few months working as a member of our field team but very quickly differentiated herself on her level of commitment and motivation. We were looking to add a project manager position and she applied internally, and we knew we had the right person immediately.”...
