Our industries clients can have both!

Raising our industry's level of professionalism has been, and will continue to be an ongoing battle. This is especially true today, as cost savings in dealing with vendors has become increasingly important to many of our industry's clients. Many people have "jumped "into the landscape maintenance arena as new construction has dried up. This has driven the price point, and with it in many cases professionalism and job quality down.





Why? For starters most anyone can mow a lawn and plant a flower or two. Not many of us dare repair an electrical circuit or suddenly fancy ourselves as indoor plumbers. In addition, there are no apprenticeship and journeymen tradesmen steps to take before you can become a full-fledged landscape contractor. Instead it seems that a pickup truck and a mower are all that are needed to line up work and begin having clients and potential clients compare the professional contractors to what is essentially our lowest "uncommon denominator."





The perception is that 1) what we do is a commodity and 2) that anyone, including an uninsured out-of-work, factory employee, can provide the same level of service as a degreed horticulturist with 25 years of experience.





All of us like to work with professional people, whether it be a fellow employee or a vendor. As a professional contractor we have the same desires. We have enjoyed the relationships we have established for many years with our clients. It hurts us all to receive a cancellation letter due to being "beat" with a lower price, without having the opportunity to sit down and discuss the budget constraints many of our clients are under.





All of my professional colleagues in our industry are more than happy to sit down and work with our clients to come up with a budget that works for all, while preserving a professional image on the outside of your particular complex. In this time of vacancies and empty store fronts, one of the first things people look for in considering a lease or rental experience is appearance, both of the landscape, and the individuals, trucks, and trailers associated with servicing and preserving that professional image. We want to live and work in nice places.





By sitting down with us and discussing your particular needs, you will find with professional landscape companies that we can save you money and continue to provide sound, quality service. We are here for the long run. The low price competitor, many times will not perform as they promise, and eventually cost you more money to manage than any savings you may have gained short term. We do understand your individual situations, and are more than willing to help!
