Shaping Alaska’s Future, One Project at a Time

In Alaska’s rugged and ever-changing landscape, reliable land services are more than a luxury—they’re a necessity. Northern Land Solutions, LLC (NLS) is a dynamic startup dedicated to excavation and snow removal, founded by Bryan Glenn with a clear vision: “I started my business, Northern Land Solutions, LLC, to provide quality and honest workmanship to fit a variety of different dirt work and snow removal needs for the general public.”

From small residential projects to large-scale site preparation, Northern Land Solutions handles a wide range of services. Bryan explains, “These projects can vary from large to small, depending on the needs of the customer. I do various types of excavation, site preparation, land clearing, grading, and snow removal.

Projects can range from getting water to drain properly on someone’s property, digging a trench for a new underground utility, clearing raw land, repairing or putting in a driveway, building a pad, or beautifying a rough lot.”

Winter in Alaska is no joke, and Bryan’s team is prepared to tackle the toughest conditions. “In the wintertime, snow removal will be my specialty,” he says. “From hard and compact wind drifts that the plow trucks can’t get through to steep driveways after a big snow, or hauling off piles left by plow trucks, my skid steer combined with an 84″ snow blower have you covered and will eliminate the need for expensive snow haul-off costs.”

Launching a business is never easy, and Bryan is quick to acknowledge the support that has been instrumental in his journey from the Alaska SBDC. “My experience working with Misty O’Connor at the Mat-Su SBDC Center in Wasilla has been incredible! She has been an invaluable asset to have in my corner,” Bryan shares with heartfelt appreciation. “It is very rewarding to work with someone that truly enjoys what they do, and Misty is just that,” adds Bryan. “Her passion for her work and genuine care for people radiates from her with every meeting we have. I can honestly say that Northern Land Solutions, LLC is where it is today because of Misty O’Connor. She really cares about her clients!”

“Bryan was easy to work with,” shared Misty. “He was an eager student as we piled through the Financial Projections to ensure he could get the financing to purchase the skid-steer, truck, and trailer he needed to get his business up and running. He asked questions and wanted to know the viability of his business model. The projections proved to both of us that he would be very successful.”

Six months in, Northern Land Solutions, LLC is thriving, with Bryan booking projects for the upcoming spring and summer while preparing for the demands of winter snow. To sustain this momentum, Bryan and Misty have leveraged artificial intelligence through ChatGPT to craft a comprehensive and dynamic year-long marketing campaign aimed at keeping his schedule full and driving steady growth.

What truly differentiates  Northern Land Solutions is Bryan’s unwavering commitment to his core values. “What sets my business apart is my honesty, attention to detail, work ethic, and communication. This enables me to figure out and execute the best solution for each customer,” Bryan shares. His dedication to transparency means he knows his limitations and will never promise more than he can deliver. “I am operating my business in the greater Mat-Su Valley by working with customers to ensure they get the right service they need. Whether over the phone or mid-project, communication, and hard work are what NLS is based on.”

With honesty, attention to detail, and a dedication to hard work, Northern Land Solutions continues to shape Alaska’s future—one project at a time.
