Grand Entrance Group
From the moment a resident or visitor arrives, the entrance to a neighborhood sets the tone for their experience. Whether it’s a landmark subdivision, a growing master-planned community, or an established residential development, first impressions matter. Grand Entrance Group understands that the details define the experience—because community living isn’t just about homes; it’s about creating welcoming and well-managed environments.
Founded by hospitality and operations experts with decades of experience, Grand Entrance Group is redefining how residential communities approach hospitality. With a skilled team of professionals, they provide monument design and installation, landscape design and management, bulk sod installation, and commercial landscape management. Their clients include some of the most recognized subdivisions in the Greater Raleigh area, each looking to elevate the experience of their residents and guests.
From Concept to Execution: A Commitment to Excellence
Grand Entrance Group was born out of a desire to bring efficiency and sophistication to the community design experience. Recognizing the challenges of managing community entrances, the founders set out to create a service model where hospitality and efficiency merge seamlessly. Their approach integrates technology, well-trained staff, and strategic planning to ensure smooth operations that align with the character of each neighborhood they serve.
Their story began with Rick Bauman, a skilled craftsman and visionary sign maker who helped shape the identity of some of the area's most prestigious neighborhoods. His legacy is etched in the welcoming entryways of McGregor Downs, Brier Creek, Brightleaf, and Wakefield Plantation – a testament to his artistry and dedication.
Like many businesses, the previous Grand Entrance Inc. faced hardship during the 2008 recession, ultimately leading to its closure. Yet, the spirit of craftsmanship and the commitment to creating stunning first impressions never faded.
Today, Michael Bauman is breathing new life into his father's legacy, rebuilding Grand Entrance Group into a thriving full-service landscape company. They are honoring the past while embracing the future, offering not only exceptional signage but also comprehensive landscape design, installation, and maintenance.
Grand Entrance Group is a testament to the enduring power of family, resilience, and a passion for creating lasting impressions. They are proud to carry the torch, building upon a legacy that defines communities and makes a lasting impact on the places we call home.
