Founded in 1976 by Robert and Joyce Orndorff, RLO Contractors has grown from a single backhoe to a premier provider of site development services, including excavation, land clearing, and grading, for both residential and commercial projects. With headquarters in Dayton, Maryland, RLO Contractors has built a strong reputation as a reliable partner in the construction industry, committed to delivering projects on time and within budget. The company started by focusing on residential water and sewer connections, septic systems, and house footings, but quickly expanded its scope as demand grew.
Throughout the decades, RLO Contractors has adapted to the evolving needs of its clients and the market. A key milestone was the establishment of a Products Division in 2002, which specializes in producing high-quality landscaping products such as regular and color-enhanced mulch, screened topsoil, and other soil mixes. This division, relocated to Jessup, Maryland, further bolsters RLO's offerings, catering not only to builders but also to landscapers and retailers.
The team at RLO Contractors is crucial to its success, with over 100 dedicated employees, many of whom have been with the company for over 20 years. The focus on teamwork, strong work ethic, and commitment to innovation, reflected in a state-of-the-art fleet that is continually updated, enables RLO Contractors to meet customer demands effectively.
RLO Contractors prides itself on its community ties, which have fostered a loyal client base in a vibrant and growing market. The company's motto, 'On-Time. On Budget. Done Right,' underscores its dedication to excellence. As RLO Contractors continues to grow and evolve, it remains focused on providing comprehensive site development services and high-quality landscaping products.
