McKenzie Contracting was organized in 2015 as a residential landscaping and home improvement company. Since then, we have grown into ourselves and found that our specialties extend far beyond that line of work.
Services provided now include tree removal, snow/ice removal, lawn care and maintenance, sediment/erosion control, stormwater management, environmental remediation, hardscape design and installation, skid steer services, light excavation, pier re-surfacing, bulkhead installation, and much more.
Gene McKenzie - Our Founder
Gene was born in Annapolis and raised in Calvert County. He is proud to be able to say he was raised in Southern Maryland. He graduated from Huntingtown High School in 2007 where he excelled in academics and was captain of the football team. From there he continued his education to Salisbury University, earning his degree in Environmental Studies and playing on the university’s rugby team. His education has always been a priority, which he shows by continuing to educate himself on the industries latest regulations and techniques.
As an avid outdoorsman on his spare time, Gene takes pride in promoting environmentally friendly construction techniques and design. From sediment and erosion control practices to installing pervious pavers, the filtering of storm water is a top priority to McKenzie Contracting’s overall performance. All areas serviced by the company are in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, making the environmental practices that much more important. This sense of mission is what sets our organization apart from other outdoor construction companies.
