Our History

Simply Brilliant

What began as a valued friendship has developed into a thriving sitework solutions provider powered by the latest technologies. In 2003, former college roommates Michael Bishop and Tyler Mays became business partners. Initially doing small residential projects in Upstate South Carolina, their purpose was clear: do hard work smart and put clients first.

The company now boasts a field and administrative workforce of over 30 experts capable of the productivity of companies twice their size. Michael and Tyler mentor each employee to work hard, work smart and never sacrifice quality or character.

our founders

From Tigers to Titans

Michael Bishop and Tyler Mays grew up in Upstate South Carolina and graduated from Clemson University. Their love of the area is evident in the way they value people and thoughtfully develop the land. The continued growth of their company from a two-man crew to a well-connected, sitework solutions provider is driven by a passion for perfectionism.

“Working in my Dad’s mulch business as a teenager taught me the value of honesty, integrity and a hard day’s work. My Dad didn’t just sell mulch, he enabled people to take pride in their property. On a different scale, that’s what BMI provides our clients: the ability to upgrade an existing site, create pride, and enrich lives.”

“Whether I’m in the field or the office, I find myself feeling grateful. As corny as it may sound, I love my job, seeing the before and after on simple and complex projects. I get such satisfaction from taking a new hire and giving them a trade that will last them a lifetime. Investing in people and making our community a better place is the reason I come to work every day.”
