The Ground Up | Diversity Employer
Ceres is Grounded in Integrity and Professionalism with an Unmatched Drive to Perform.
Ceres provides professional management and superb construction services throughout the United States, Caribbean, Pacific and New Zealand. We are dedicated to improving communities and helping them recover from disasters. With our strong bonding capacity and exceptional record of performance, Ceres undertakes projects from $1 million to major missions like the post-Hurricane Katrina Recovery approaching $1 billion.
We Are an Industry Leader.
Ceres was founded as a tree service company in 1976 during a severe beetle infestation. During the crisis, founder David McIntyre identified the need to provide safe, cost-efficient removal of the affected trees while simultaneously inventing and implementing practices to minimize environmental impact. Investing significantly in heavy equipment including massive wood grinders and screens, Ceres quickly emerged as an industry leader in developing innovative recycling techniques to create valuable mulches, composts, and soils from wood waste. 
Sister Company- The Ground Up
The Ground Up is Texas’ premier producer of high-end mulches, composts and specialty soils and is a quality distributor of nursery plants throughout the Houston area. TGU takes in clean vegetative and agricultural waste in the form of unwanted trees and brush as well as organic fruit and vegetable wastes and reduces this material through mechanical grinding. Following strict quality control standards, the material “ages” in place and undergoes further processing that leaves rich organic material full of minerals and nutrients which replenish soil and plants.
Our Values Permeate Every Aspect of Our Business.
Ceres is a values-based company whose goal is to quickly grasp the needs of our clients, align a talented team of professionals, tradespeople and subcontract partners to address those needs and execute the necessary work rapidly with consistently “outstanding” results.(“Outstanding” was the post-Katrina rating given us by the Army Corps of Engineers).
- Integrity The primary principle that guides our every action.
- Respect We value dignity and diversity of ideas.
