New Leadership Role Supports Landscaping Growth in the Western Carolinas
We’re excited to announce the hire of a brand-new executive leadership role at LOVING: Executive Vice President, Production Landscaping, now held by Zach Daigle. This role supports our rapid growth in the Greenville, South Carolina, and Asheville, North Carolina markets.
Bringing Experience and Insight
Zach rejoins LOVING after spending the past five years with D.R. Horton, one of the nation’s largest homebuilders. There, he honed deep expertise in builder services, experience that will help elevate our partnerships with homebuilders and operational services in our Carolinas markets. A graduate of North Carolina State University, Zach brings a solid background in production landscaping and a commitment to excellence.
A Culture-Driven Leader
Zach’s return to LOVING is about more than operations: it’s about people. As mentioned by our CEO, Mike Haynes, Zach brings “a heart for people,” deep respect for frontline TEAMS, and a relentless work ethic — which is exactly the leadership ethos we stand for.
Why This Role Matters
Strategic Growth: This executive-level role was created in direct response to surging demand in Greenville and Asheville. Zach will spearhead planning, staffing, and operations as our service footprint expands in the western parts of the Carolinas.
Builder-Centric Approach: With firsthand experience working alongside large-scale builders, he’s uniquely positioned to drive our client-focused production model in key regional markets.
Local Leadership: Residing in Greenville with his growing family, Zach brings both operational expertise and a personal investment in the community’s success.
What Zach Will Lead
Implementation and scaling of landscaping operations across both regions
Leadership and development of field TEAMS with a focus on service excellence
Collaboration with commercial and custom builder clients to align service delivery
Ensuring quality, efficiency, and consistency across all projects
