Early Beginnings
DRM Maintenance and Management Company was organized in 1977 as a landscape company. The business was started by Anthony Gray and his father, in their garage, with one tractor, one mower, and one trimmer. The business originally focused on mowing for cities that required property owners to adhere to a noxious weed ordinance. DRM became the largest contractor in this area of the business in only two years. The city of Wayne, Westland, Canton, Southfield and others were on their customer list. Soon the business expanded to the commercial and industrial mowing. ATT, Michigan Bell, General Motors, and Detroit Edison were added to the growing customer base.
