Employee Ownership
Building sustainable futures with the world’s most precious resources—water and people.
Garney is a 100% employee owned company. Simply put, we work harder and smarter because we all own the company. Our entire culture revolves around this ownership.
We are a hands-on organization; always have been, always will be. Our people don’t mind getting their hands or their boots dirty. Our people are not only smart, tough-minded, and hard-working – they also own the company.
Since we are 100% employee owned, all our employee-owners participate in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

Garney is the ideal employee-owned company because we are focused on helping each other succeed. The mindset that each of us are owners of this company shows in our relationships with vendors, owners, and engineers.

I was always fascinated by construction but never thought I could have a successful career in it because I was a girl. One door has led to another, and I am eternally grateful for the day that door led to Garney.

ESOP means I can give my family a better life and retire early without worrying about money. It is something I would have never accomplished working for another company.
Octavio Ramirez

I can’t imagine where my life and career would be if I wasn’t here at Garney. From getting to work with talented, career-driven people, to having a secure future, I can’t think of anything better than that.
