As a part of helping your business, association, or organization be successful, accurate budget planning is key. We understand this very well as we have always provided budgetary information to customers in the fall to assist them with their budgeting process. Whether it is standard enhancements such as barkdust, moss control or flowers, or one-time irrigation or re-landscaping projects, we will provide you ideas and recommendations to maximize the value of your landscape. With water costs rising, a big part of managing your landscape asset is to evaluate the landscape and irrigation system and determine if there are any structural or age-related issues that are or potentially impacting the landscape's value or maintenance cost of a property. Our budget proposals will include thoughtful recommendations on how to modify or upgrade the landscape to ensure it is providing the property with the intended asset value. Some project considerations will include: Seasonal Enhanced Services   Seasonal Color   Rebarkdusting   Turf Core Aeration   Moss Control   Crabgrass Control Water Conservation Projects Reduce water costs and operational expenses   Smart (weather-based) irrigation to save 20-30% water   Lawn conversion where lawn is difficult to irrigate and maintain   Upgrading to Pressure Regulated Sprinklers   Conversion to Drip Irrigation Safety & Security Hazard elimination projects to reduce liability Tree Care Protect and preserve trees Plant Health Care Reduce damage from disease and insects Plant Replacement Replace old, tired plants with new easier-to-maintain varieties Winter Services Budget estimates for snow and ice mitigation We are beginning to prepare our budget proposals now and would like to meet with as many customers as possible during the next few months to ensure we understand your specific situation. Please contact us and let us know when you are available as we want to work around your schedule and provide you with the best budget information possible. We are a part of your team and will help you in any way we can. Managing Rising Costs Although inflation has returned to more normal levels, our greatest cost is labor and the shortage of labor continues to increase our costs faster than the overall inflation rate. Regardless of agreement with or disapproval of the current immigration crackdown, this is reducing the availability of labor available. We have always focused on employing a documented workforce, utilizing the H2B Visa program for our seasonal labor and utilizing E-Verify for domestic hiring. Finding and keeping quality documented staff is expensive. Our average labor wage is double what it was 6 years ago. Working to improve efficiencies to offset cost increases We have always worked hard to offset increased costs and are proud that during our long history, we have offset most cost increases. For example, as stated above, with labor costs having risen 75% in the past 10 years, our costs to most clients have risen only one third of that through our work to improve efficiencies. With a strong commitment to training when we formed 21 years ago, we are proud to have the best trained and efficient team. We have also worked through LEAN process planning to map and develop critical paths to improve efficiencies on all properties. We also have utilized plant growth regulators to reduce pruning frequencies. We are always working hard to offset labor cost increases. Learn more about the renovations we offer here .
