The same values that pushed B.H. Labrie Landscaping forward a decade ago have catapulted them to success today.
Brian Labrie doesn't quite know why he had such a strong gut feeling, but he could sense a recession coming well before it was even in the cards. When Lawn & Landscape first interviewed the president of Hollis, N.H.-based B.H. Labrie Landscaping back in 2002, he saw enough folks cutting back that he began to fear the loss of some residential clients
That's when he made the decision to add commercial work to his line-up. Making that switch almost 10 years ago has paid dividends. When the residential market took a hard fall, Labrie was already well-established in the commercial sector. That's one of many reasons the company has more than quadrupled in size since we last caught up with them.
Labrie credits running lean – not only in bad times, but also in good ones – as a key to success.

While it might be considered an act of vandalism to chuck a pumpkin off your neighbor's porch, it's wholeheartedly encouraged at the WCPCA – that is, the World Championship Punkin Chunkin Association. This nonprofit association has been encouraging chunkin' pumpkins since 1986 and has been picked up as a special show on the Science Channel garnering even more attention for the annual sport of pumpkin hurling.
Participants use mechanical devices which have included slingshots, catapults, centrifugals, trebuchets and pneumatic air cannons to hurl a pumpkin as far as they can. When Brian Labrie, president of Hollis, N.H.-based B.H. Labrie Landscaping, first saw it on TV, he had to check it out for himself.
