Fractional COO for the Green Industry
Your best people keep quitting your worst systems.
I fix that.
I install operational infrastructure inside $2M–$12M landscape companies, so your team stops waiting on you, your margins stop leaking, and your best managers stop leaving. Not advice. Not coaching. Systems your team owns.

The Problem
You didn't build a company.
You built a job that employs 40 people.
Your revenue grew. Your systems didn't. Now you're the bottleneck, approving purchases, solving problems your managers should handle, and watching margin disappear through cracks nobody ever measured.
Decisions
Bottleneck
Every decision routes to you, even ones that shouldn't. Your managers wait when they should be acting. You're at your kid's game checking your phone to approve a $200 mulch order.
Manager
Turnover
Your best ops manager didn't leave for more money. They left because they spent 60% of their day waiting for decisions only you could make. The next one will too, unless the structure changes.
Margin
Erodes
Revenue's up 40%. Margin's flat. Nobody can explain where the money goes because nobody ever built the measurement system. You feel it in the bank account but can't point to it in a spreadsheet.
Why I Built This
Same plants. Same crew.
Two completely different approaches.
I stopped at the store to grab a couple of things. As I pulled in, I noticed a landscape crew trimming a row of Podocarpus along a building foundation.
One crew member was trimming five sides per plant. Individual shrubs.
I drove around the corner. The other crew members were trimming the same row as a hedge. Three sides. Clean line. Done.
Same plants. Same crew. Two completely different approaches.
It was difficult not to get out of my car.
Those crew members were not bad at their jobs. They were never taught. And nobody ever noticed.
"I see a version of this inside every $2M–$12M landscape company."
Decisions routed to the owner that should not be. Managers are waiting when they should be acting. Margin disappearing through inefficiencies nobody ever measured.
I have spent 30 years in this industry. As an owner. As a COO. Walking operations just like that one. I built the LeadScape™ methodology to fix it.
Not with advice. With infrastructure.
The LeadScape™ Deep Dive
Two weeks. Three deliverables.
$8,000–$10,000 back in your pocket.
Guaranteed. In writing. Before we start.
Gap Report
Where time, margin, and decision flow are being lost; in dollars. Not theory. Numbers your accountant can verify.
Decision Rights Audit
Who owns what, under what criteria, at what thresholds. The document that frees you from being the answer to every question.
90-Day
Build Plan
The structural changes that recapture the waste. Plus the measurement infrastructure and operating cadence your team owns going forward.
Plus: The measurement infrastructure and operating cadence your team owns and runs going forward. The ROI is not a guess. It is a number, tracked against a documented baseline, reviewed weekly in a meeting your managers run.
$2M–$5M companies
$3,976
$5M–$8M companies
$4,976
$8M–$12M companies
$5,976
If the documented savings don't represent at least a 2× return, I refund the difference. The ROI is tracked against a documented baseline and reviewed weekly. Your team knows as much as you do. That is what produces a return you can document.
In 20 minutes, I'll know if I can deliver the 2× return.

I do not teach theory. I install infrastructure. The difference matters. Theory tells you what to do. Infrastructure measures whether it is working.
I have walked operations within landscape companies for three decades, as an owner, a COO, and a consultant. Every company between $2M and $12M has the same version of the same problem. The people aren't broken. The structure is.
