Our Roots
Canady’s Landscaping & Grading, LLC and Canady’s Landscape & Erosion Control, LLC has used the color Magenta or a deep Fuchsia as their trademark since 1998. Many people find it odd that Pink is the face color of a Landscaping Company however the color was selected when CEO of Canady’s Landscape & Erosion Control, LLC Mrs. Penny H. Canady was fighting the extremely difficult battle of Breast Cancer. Mrs. Canady has since won the battle over cancer; however she has not since forgotten the struggle and takes great pride in supporting the cause. Cancer unforgiving, takes hundreds of lives each year, it is important that we as people do our part to help when we can. For this reason along with many others, the Canady Companies proudly supports the American Cancer Society.
