Blockhouse Services Group

05/06/2026

Continuing our series for , we turn our focus to a relatively new but game-changing Blount County business that's making their impact quietly: Blockhouse Services Group.

Blockhouse Services Group, run by Co-Founder and Principal Trevis Gardner, has grown steadily since 2025, expanding its support to small and medium-sized businesses and organizations across East Tennessee, from Monroe and Blount Counties to Knox and Anderson Counties.

Their work spans strategic planning, organizational development, fractional leadership, and project management, serving municipal clients, non-profits, and businesses in the construction and engineering sector. They step in behind the scenes to strengthen operations, support leadership, and help organizations run better from the inside out.

As their clients will tell you: everyone will notice the difference, but no one will know why.

That's the Blockhouse way — discreet, dependable, and deeply effective.

Congratulations to the Blockhouse Services Group team on their continued growth and impact across East Tennessee! 👏
