Thirty-five years inside commercial landscape operations - now on your side of the table.
If you own or run a landscape company, you already know the work is the easy part. It's the estimating, the software nobody adopts, the crews that only run on your energy, and the accounts that slip when you're stretched too thin. That's the ground this covers - and it's ground we've actually walked, not read about.
Bids built on real production rates and true overhead recovery, not gut feel. Win the right work at the right number - and stop leaving margin on the table or buying jobs you'll lose money on.
New software or system, any platform - the rollout lives or dies on buy-in, not features. We start by getting everyone on board and understanding the why behind the change, then work through implementation best practices and timing. Platform-specific button training comes last, and we'll usually hand that piece off. The adoption is the hard part; that's the part we own.
Standard operating procedures your whole crew can run, written clean in English and Spanish. Turn the knowledge that lives in your head into a system that runs without you.
Senior-level leadership without the senior-level salary - in whatever seat you need filled. Operations, general management, sales, training, HR, account management: 35 years means I've actually run all of it. Step me in part-time to steady a function, build a department, or cover a gap while you grow into the full-time hire.
Most business consultants have never run a crew in July, never bid a job they later regretted, never sat on a Sunday night wondering how the math works out by Friday. They bring frameworks. We bring 35 years of having actually done it.
This isn't theory from someone who read a book about your industry. It's help from someone who lived it.
Sometimes we start by helping an owner find better ways to run the business - tighter estimates, cleaner operations, a book of work that doesn't run them into the ground.
And sometimes, in that work, it becomes clear the real weight isn't operational. It's personal. The business is heavy because the person carrying it is carrying more than a business.
When we reach that line - and we often do - there's somewhere to go with it.
Vine & Compass is our sister practice: faith-based life coaching for green industry owners who've built everything and lost themselves somewhere in the building. Rooted Solutions fixes the business. Vine & Compass restores the man. Same hands, same 35 years, two different kinds of help - and we'll tell you plainly when the second one is what you actually need.
Tell us where the business is tight, and we'll tell you straight what it would take.
