Organization Chart

Redstone has a long-standing relationship with Di Stefano Landscaping at two high profile properties located on the campus of the University of Vermont.  We couldn’t be more pleased with the full scope of year-round services they provide, from our beautiful seasonal landscaping to our critical winter snow removal operations.  A highlight of our work with the Di Stefano team is their customer service.  Their friendly and proactive approach makes them a valued partner for our physical plant operations.
