    One couldnt blame Charles Chuck Staton for taking acouple of days off in Florida after 13 consecutive, 15-hour-day, snow-plowing marathons in January through March.

    to major in, but drifted to horticultureThat direction led to dealing with snow drifts, and land-

    scape maintenance, cleanup, mowing, weeding, pruning treework, fertilization and later expansion into full site workenterprises of construction, excavation, grading, planting,

    installing entire landscapes start-to-finish,masonry of patios, walks and walls, Bobcatservices, drainage and repairs and snowremoval.

    Educated in the FieldStaton owns what is now an award-win-

    ning design-build firm. He served as the pres-ident of the Rhode Island Nursery andLandscape Association. He also is a certifiedhorticulturalist, a licensed arborist, a RhodeIsland Tree Steward, as well as being a mem-ber of the Rhode Island Tree Council, theWarren Tree Commission and the Childrens GardeningNetwork.

    Staton has established a company that has built a reputa-tion for professional excellence. He has achieved this by cre-ating landscapes that connect people to the beauty of nature,and by expanding the boundaries of home, in order to real-ize the full potential that our surrounding landscapes have tooffer.

    Staton attends ongoing educational programs to increasehis knowledge of the latest technological advances in thefield. With focus in such topics as landscape, turf science,masonry, storm water treatment, pest and disease control andlow impact techniques, Staton utilizes his years of experi-ence and knowledge to achieve outstanding results, whilestaying committed to environmentally sound practices.

    I have learned to do this work more precisely, to tacklemore complicated jobs and bigger jobs in 36 years, Staton

    said. You have to plow a lot of snow sometimes, but then,there is earth underneath.

    Family InvolvementStaton leases two acres for his shop on Chestnut Street.

    His business office is two rooms in his home on PrudenceLane, also in his hometown of Warren, which he has only leftto do earth-moving jobs nearby and that occasional two-daymental health break in sunny Florida after a 13th local snow-storm.

    His business has quietly, steadily grown. Our gross sales have risen slowly each year. We have 11

    steady full-timers and, in-season, about four more peoplewho also work 30-45 hours per week, he added. His wifePat runs the office, of course, while oldest son, Chucky,eschews an interest in horticulture, but does help part-timewith establishing the company Web site, Facebook page andIT/computer needs.

    Middle son, Denny, has worked on Staton crews duringthe summer. Denny also graduated from U.R.I. a year ago,majoring in landscape architecture and is currently attendingthe Rhode Island School of Design, obtaining his mastersdegree in the same field.

    This keeps him very busy all day and into the night, saidStaton. He does also help with the Web site. When he grad-uates in one more year, he will want to work for a big land-scape architecture firm. After he is established for a fewyears, he may want to reach into my company and put hisown stamp on it.

    Youngest son Sam is working at Harbor Animal Hospitalto be a veterinarian tech at New England Tech. Another fam-ily member, cousin Marilyn, also works in the office.

    On site, Staton will work about half a day, setting grades,setting up the men step-by-step and then visiting the other

    crews on smaller jobs to make sure thatthings are okay.If the job requires it, his crew will work

    with a landscape architect, contractors,plumbers irrigation companies and lightingcompanies in special designs. They usually work for us and are includ-

    ed in our bid, but sometimes the architectwill get some of these subs. said Staton.What is satisfying is when everythingcomes together nicely.

    Unusual Problems to SolveOver the years, Staton Landscaping Inc.

    has been working on more involved mason-ry and landscape projects. To do this, my awareness of interpreting

    contour lines, elevations, using a laser level,the importance of excavating and preparinga proper base to end up at the desired finishgrade has increased. Many of our landscapeconstruction jobs now include a lot of under-ground drainage work, conduits for waterand electric, etc.Staton said that one of the benefits of his

    business is getting a call to examine chal-lenging landscape situations and having toprovide solutions. Sometimes, the calls areastonishing.

    A woman called me. She had about 15cats and many neighborhood cats hungaround. The house was overgrown andinfested with weeds outside, said Staton.Inside, the rooms we went into were full ofpackages, canned goods and trash all overthe place. The cupboards were open and youcould not see the counters because of all the

    stuff piled on them. I was worried aboutbugs crawling on me.She wanted to make her landscape look

    nice. I figured her budget was kind of small.She took me to every side of her house toexplain what she wanted to attack. To mysurprise, we ended up installing a newveneer on the front steps, new front mason-ry walk, all new beds and plants. She spentabout $14,000 and sat in a chair outsideevery day and gave the men coffee anddrinks and was very nice.I really thought it was going to be a waste

    of time planning and estimating, but it was avery rewarding situation to see the endresult, Staton said.At a more conventional job recently on

    the east side of Providence, a client hiredDennis Diffley Co. to put in a new sewerline, which Staton is not licensed to do.Again, Staton found the unexpected.They went down about 12 feet and found

    a dump site from the 1700 to 1800s, withhundreds of bottles, silverware and pieces ofplates. I was given a few, and I have foundsome old bottles over the years in the earth,said Staton.

    Business PlanningThere also is a technique to stay in busi-

    ness for four decades. The most valuable les-sons he has learned in 36 years include, gain-ing experience working with another com-pany, putting the right people in place tocarry out the work, being ready to put in longdays and business planning.Being a seasonal business, the busy

    spring is a drain on your checkbook and the

    bills you send out are paid slowly, saidStaton. You have to mark the time in abook.Staton, a longtime friend of local safety

    officers, has always tried to give back to hiscommunity. He has put in fields for WarrenLittle League on Water Street, landscapedthe newest Warren Police Station andworked for churches, often gratis.Usually they have a little budget that

    covers 50 percent or less or sometimes theyhave zero money, Staton said. I always tryto take care of them by rounding up thematerials and doing the work. Some of them,we give sponsorships or donations to. In 2013, the priest of his own church, St.

    Mary of the Bay, approached Staton to land-scape the front of the church. He did nothave a budget. Along with a core group of volunteers

    and my son Dennys landscape plan,Statons Landscaping did some wrap upwork and came back a few times in 2014 formaintenance, said Staton. Civic pride and history always take prece-

    dence to an extra dollar.This fall, I re-landscaped the front of the

    Warren Town Hall. Again, Dennis drew thelandscape plan. I had four guys workingthere for three days, said Staton. Therewas no budget, except the town purchasedsome of the plants. We used all native plantsbecause I wanted an educational componentto the project. Also, I wanted the Town Hallto look up to date and environmentallyfriendly.As a member of the Warren Tree

    Commission, Staton helps to protect trees in

    town that he usually has planted himself. I like to do my small part to help to make

    my town a better place to live, Staton said.In a small, but competitive area like the

    East Bay of Rhode Island, it pays to knoweveryone, too. Word of mouth pays is a vitalpart of advertising. I try to treat each client with a caring and

    personal touch so that they have a pleasantexperience, Staton said. The most fun ismy relationship with the clients and the men,creating a nice solution for someones siteproblem that will benefit them for manyyears.His company has won many awards since

    1995, including the Rhode Island Nurseryand Landscape Association ProfessionalExcellence Award for a job performed inJune in Wickford, R.I. The award might justas well have been for ingenuity. The job was at Wickford Inn, built in

    about 1763. As my worker walked over theseptic system, it collapsed and his leg fell in,but he did not get hurt, said Staton. Weworked around the area for three weekswaiting for the homeowners contractor torepair the cap of the septic system. Finally,the owner hired us to construct a brick capfor the system.We try to do a good job without going

    overboard.For more information on Statons

    Staton Landscaping Remains Involved in Masonry Projects

    A big reason for the spending increase:Federal Highway Administration payments separate from the Trust Fund thathelped the state recover from damagescaused by flooding from Tropical StormIrene and other storms in 2011. Vermont highway spending also got a big

    boost in federal recovery spending passedafter President Barack Obama took office tohelp states rebound from the GreatRecession. Vermont in recent years has donewell with federal highway spending. Our state has in the last six years raised

    gas taxes twice. Most states arent doingthat, Vermont Transportation Secretary SueMinter said. Vermont hasnt been focusing on new,

    big-dollar highway projects. Rather, the statehas been focusing on upgrading existing

    highway infrastructure such as catching upon bridge repair and replacement and pavingprojects, Minter said. We have been addressing deferred main-

    tenance, Minter said. I would credit thatour state Legislature has invested in us. Several years ago, more than 30 percent

    of Vermont bridges were considered struc-turally deficient. Now that number is under 8percent. In addition to drawing down federal dis-

    aster money, Vermont is putting to use otherhighway lessons learned after Irene abouthow to complete projects faster and atreduced costs. One of the methods has beento close a road or highway while bridge con-struction is under way. It increases local,short-term inconvenience, but makes con-struction faster, reducing construction costsand helping the state catch up on those need-ed projects. Another method is using innova-

    tive bridge designs, such as the so-calledbridge in a backpack that uses special con-crete-filled tubes to support bridge spans.Theyre less expensive, faster to build andrequire less maintenance than traditionalbridges. Minter credits Vermonts congressional

    delegation with ensuring the state does well. U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent

    who is a member of the Environment andPublic Works Committee, said Vermont hasdone well under federal transportation pro-grams. He said he has made the case that inVermont, a rural state with a harsh climate, itcosts more to maintain the states roads andbridges. Vermont has a very small population

    compared to larger states, and there is a limitto how much we can raise in state and localfunds, Sanders said in a statement issued byhis office.

    While Vermont is chipping away at itshighway project backlog, the future is notassured. Weve got a long way to go, Minter

    said. Vermont is a border state with Canada, the

    United States largest trading partner, and thestates highways are a critical part of thenational transportation infrastructure. About60 percent of the Vermonts freight traffic ispassing through the state. Congress is working on changing the way

    the money from the Highway Trust Fundworks. Its unclear how that will affectVermont. We remain concerned that small rural

    states could get left out of the picture,Minter said. There are a lot of risks ahead.
