Stop being the ceiling in your own company.
A four-week diagnose-and-install for landscape company owners at $2M and up. The audit, the decision rights, the operating cadence. Your team is running it before I leave.
No pitch. No pressure.
You don't have a people problem. You have a structure problem.
I've walked operations inside $2M+ landscape companies for 30 years. As an owner. Three times. As a COO. As a fractional operator.
Every single one has a version of the same failure mode: decisions route to the owner that shouldn't. Managers wait when they should act. Margin disappears through inefficiencies nobody ever measured. Your best people leave because they spent 60% of their day waiting for you to make a call only you could make.
The company was built around your judgment and never outgrew it. That's not a character flaw. It's a stage of growth.
The fix isn't working harder, hiring better, or buying more software. The fix is infrastructure.
Four weeks. Three documents. One cadence your team is already running.
Not advice. Not coaching. Operational infrastructure your company keeps, installed while I'm in the building, not after.
Exactly where margin, time, and decision flow are leaking, documented in dollars. The report becomes the baseline every recovered dollar is measured against.
Who owns what, under what criteria, at what threshold. The single document that ends the bottleneck. Built with your team, signed by you.
The sequenced fix. Week-by-week priorities your managers run from. Includes the measurement cadence that tracks recovered margin against the baseline.
The weekly review your managers run, with the numbers from the Gap Report on the table. I sit in the first two. By the second one, they don't need me in the room. That's the test.
Real deliverables. Not a strategy deck.
Every Deep Dive produces working documents your team operates from on day one.
What the first 90 days usually look like.
No guarantee. A baseline, a weekly review your managers run, and the numbers that have come out of it before. Different companies produce different results. This is the shape of what changes.

average documented gap on a $4M company. The fee is a fraction of it.
Four weeks, end to end. No drag.
Twenty-five minutes to confirm fit. If your company isn't a match for the Deep Dive, I'll tell you what is. No pitch.
Two days in the yard and on the trucks, then the numbers. By end of week 1 you have a documented Gap Report showing exactly where margin is leaking, in dollars. Already bought the Gap Audit? Week 1 is done and half the fee is credited.
We build the Decision Rights Audit together with your team in the room. Then I deliver the 90-Day Build Plan: who owns what, week by week, with the measurement cadence baked in.
The weekly review goes on the calendar with your managers running it. Same numbers, same format. I sit in the first one and say as little as I can.
Your team runs the second review without me. I'm out on Day 28. The savings are tracked against the documented baseline, in the weekly review, by your team.
Paul documented $180,000 in leaking margin in two weeks. We've recovered $120,000 of it in the first quarter alone. This wasn't consulting. This was infrastructure my team owns.
Todd S. Owner · $6.4M Landscape Co. · Mid-AtlanticThe Deep Dive isn't for everyone. It's built for one kind of owner.
Priced to be dwarfed by what you'll recover.
Four weeks. Field Audit, Decision Rights Audit, 90-Day Build Plan, and the operating cadence installed and run twice with your team. Travel included, anywhere in the continental US.
Bought the Gap Audit first? Half of it credits here if you book within 60 days of your readout.
Average documented gap on a $4M company $125,000+ annuallyNo guarantee attached. The number above is what the Gap Report has typically found; what gets recovered depends on the team that runs the plan. The fee is about eight percent of the average gap.
Some owners keep going. That conversation happens after the Deep Dive, not before.
The Deep Dive ends with your team running a 90-day plan. For most owners, that's the engagement. The structure is installed, the number is on the table, and the phone stops ringing for things the team should be deciding.
Some owners want the structure installed deeper. Decision rights across the whole company, not just the top 40 decisions. An operating cadence the team runs without you in the room. The 8 to 12 things that lived only in your head, written down and handed to the people who need them.
That's 100 Days to Owner Freedom. Five onsite visits, twenty days, across 100 days. A defined start. A defined finish. You're ready to keep owning this without continuing to be it.
How 100 Days to Owner Freedom works →What owners ask before they book.
No. The Deep Dive includes it as Week 1. If you've already done it, Week 1 is skipped and half the Audit fee is credited. The Audit exists for the owner who wants to see the number before committing to four weeks. If you already know the number, start here.
Week 1 needs you for the walk-through, one interview, and a review of the Gap Report. Week 2 needs you in the room for the Decision Rights build, about half a day, and for the sign-off. Weeks 3 and 4 need you at two one-hour reviews, and the second one is a test of whether you can stay quiet. The rest of the time I'm with your team, which is the point.
The Decision Rights Audit is built with your managers in the room and signed by you. The 90-Day Build Plan names a manager, not me, as the owner of every line. The weekly review meeting is run by your team from Week 3, with me in the room for the first two. I'm not on the org chart when it's over.
Sometimes the Gap Report says that. More often it says the ops manager has been making decisions without the authority to make them stick, and the "problem" is the escalation loop. Either way you'll know by the end of week 1, in writing, before anything gets built.
Yes. A decision rights document built without the people who make the decisions is a memo. This is the one item on the not-for-you list that isn't negotiable.
Then you have a small, documented number and a clear answer that the Deep Dive isn't where the money is. That's a useful outcome at two weeks. It's happened. The Fit Call is where I try to catch it first.
Twenty-five minutes. A straight answer.
Tell me about the company. I'll tell you whether the Deep Dive is a fit. If it isn't, I'll tell you what is.
No pitch. No pressure.
Operational infrastructure for landscape companies that want to run without the owner in every decision.
Slow learner. Fast builder.
Twenty-five minutes. Audit, Deep Dive, or Interim, which fits where you are. No pitch.
