Twenty years ago, Bill Shrewsberry founded Shrewsberry & Associates with four employees. These five individuals planted and cultivated a business seed that has matured into a national, multi-disciplined civil engineering and consulting firm with three core practice areas: civil engineering, landscape architecture, and construction services.

With nearly 100 employees and certifications in more than 29 states, Shrewsberry maintains its strong culture and core values as it continues to expand geographically in addition to size, scope, and complexity of projects. On behalf of the ownership team and all our employees, Shrewsberry would like to thank you, our clients and partners, for the opportunities to work on impactful community projects over the years. Whether large and iconic or small and less visible, we appreciate your trust in helping bring these dreams to life. We also appreciate you believing in us early on, giving us opportunities to demonstrate our capabilities and apply our expertise. We enjoy these partnerships today and value the relationships built through the years. Looking forward to the next 20 years, we are excited about working by your side to beautify and uplift the communities in which we live and work.
