Before any structure rises, the real work begins below the surface. That’s where Legends Site & Underground Development has built its reputation.
Based in Tavares and serving projects across Central Florida and beyond, the company specializes in full-site development, handling everything from land preparation and utilities to underground fire protection systems. Simply put, they do everything leading up to the build itself, creating the foundation that allows projects to move forward.
Backed by nearly 100 years of combined experience through the Drawdy family, Legends has grown into a trusted name in the industry, known for its focus on quality control, precision and consistency across every job. Whether it’s preparing a site, installing water and sewer lines or completing large-scale infrastructure work, the team takes a hands-on approach to ensure every detail is done right.
That commitment shows in both the work and the people behind it. Team members like Doug Musselwhite, operations specialist; John Crawford, site superintendent; Dean Potter, underground superintendent; and Josthen Maldonado, estimator, represent decades of experience in the field. Their prior and current job roles and participation in ongoing training and certification programs, have prepared them well and ensures their proficiency for these trusted leadership roles
Recent projects, including work with local fire services, highlight the company’s continued presence in the community and its role in supporting essential infrastructure.
At its core, Legends isn’t focused on being the biggest. It’s focused on being the best. With a relationship-first mindset and a belief that a handshake still matters, the company continues to build not just sites, but long-standing trust.
