Owner and operator, Alan and Carrie Whitehurst, founded Vecco, INC. in 1994. The company
was started with a simple vision; to offer alternative solutions to everyday site
development challenges using the latest advances in geosynthetic products and technology.

reinforcement, drainage, and control of erosion. In the state of Georgia, we are
