The Lean Landscape Immersion

The Private Equity Playbook for Landscape CEOs

A full day inside a working $10M landscape operation. No theory. No slides. Just a professional company — opened up and explained, from morning roll-out to closing session.

What you'll walk away with

Discover how to build a modern world-class landscaping business

Most owners have never been inside a truly professional landscape operation. This is your backstage pass. We open up everything — the yard, the shop, the office, the org chart, the financials — and explain exactly how it works.

You leave with a workbook, a 12-month professionalization plan, and the clarity to know what to fix first.

Walk through a live, operating $10M machine. Crew huddles, lean production board, fleet inspection, inventory systems — all in action.

Understand how lean systems create margin and freedomSee what a professional landscape company looks like

Structured exercises throughout the day culminate in a personalized action plan — 3 systems to build, 2 people upgrades, 1 financial metric to own.

Know exactly what to fix first so there's no ambiguity about your highest-leverage move.

Event Experience Design

This isn’t a conference.

No keynote speakers selling from the stage. No vendor booths. 100 owners in small table groups, moving through a working company on-site, doing real work together.

A Backstage Pass

Every area of Private Paradise is open — yard, shop, trailer, office, mock site. Nothing staged for show.

Leadership Bootcamp

Facilitated table discussions throughout the day. Learn from the people in the room, not just the ones on stage.

Innovative Operations

Deep dives into org design, financial frameworks, production systems, and technology — all grounded in a real company.

Strategic Sessions

Workbook-driven execution. You leave with a personalized plan, not just inspiration.

Built for Owners & Senior Leaders

Wherever you are,
there’s a reason to be here.

This event is built for the owner who’s serious about building — not just running. If you’re under $500K or above $100M, this probably isn’t for you.

Growing

$500K – $3M

You’re carrying everything. You need to see what a system-driven company looks like from the inside — so you know what you’re actually building toward.

Scaling

$3M – $10M

You have a team, but they still need you for everything important. You need leaders who can lead and numbers you can trust. This day shows you what that looks like in practice.

Enterprise

$10M – $100M

You’re thinking about legacy, exits, and enterprise value. Private Paradise is a working model of what you’re trying to build — or optimize further.
