Growth doesn’t break companies. Weak people systems do. Structure creates freedom.
As landscape companies grow, people complexity increases.
Hiring becomes reactive. Managers lack training. Accountability blurs. Compliance risk rises. Owners carry too much of the people load.

They assess gaps, install practical people systems, support managers, and align workforce strategy with business goals. Their approach blends executive oversight with hands-on execution so structure actually takes hold.
The result is stronger leadership, reduced risk, improved retention, and a company where people performance supports sustainable growth.
