B&D Landscape Contractors

Bill Thorne

President

Bill Thorne joined B&D in September of 2010 and was promoted to President in 2023.

Bill holds a degree in horticulture from the University of New Hampshire and a degree in landscape architecture from Louisiana State University. After graduating, Bill joined the team at HOK in Washington D.C. as a landscape designer. After working as a designer, Bill relocated to Houston and gained experience in project management, construction, and business development.

In 2010, Bill joined B&D as a project manager. With over 20 years of experience in the industry that blends planning, landscape architecture and construction, Bill now oversees all aspects of operations. Whether it is nurturing new and existing client relationships or making sure the company’s values are integrated into its daily operations, Bill enables B&D to execute its highest vision.

“A lot of people believe all of the thinking is done when the plans are drawn up versus when construction is underway, but I believe that is totally contrary. Much of the thinking happens during construction. In order to interpret what is presented and successfully build intricate outdoor projects, one must think outside.”

Are there any unique skills or areas of expertise that you feel set you apart?

Problem-solving is one of my greatest attributes. There's always going to be some kind of problem, and I pride myself on being able to present solutions rather than waiting for others to tell me solutions.

What does it mean to you to be a solution-ist?

To me, it means that the moment someone needs an answer, they call me, and I am able to deliver. At B&D, we strive to be a one-stop shop by providing multiple disciplines to complete all landscape construction needs.
