About Clearline Outdoor

Built on Integrity. Focused on Your Portfolio.

We're not an anonymous crew dispatched from a call center. We're two people with an investor background in commercial real estate who got tired of watching property managers get burned by vendors — so we built the company we'd want to hire.

The Story

Why Two Investors Started a Grounds Crew

Clearline Outdoor is veteran-owned and founded by Carsten Cross and Brock Burdine. Before running crews, both spent time on the investment side of commercial real estate — underwriting deals, tracking NOI, and sitting in the owner's seat evaluating vendor performance from the outside.

That perspective is why we run this business differently. We know that to an owner, a landscaping or snow contract isn't a line item to set and forget — it's a direct input to property performance, resident satisfaction, and liability exposure. A missed plow route or an overgrown lawn doesn't just look bad; it costs money, in vacancy, in complaints, in risk.

So we built Clearline around the things property managers told us they'd been missing from other vendors: a real person who picks up the phone, a documented report after every visit, and a company that treats a 16-unit building and a 300-unit portfolio with the same level of accountability.
