As a close-knit family company, one of our challenges in the past year has been not being able to come together to celebrate accomplishments as a company. Our annual Holiday party that brings all of our supervisors and managers together for a meal and to present company awards was something that got cut for the benefit of all employee health.

Even though we can't meet as a large group we still feel it is important to continue the culture of our company in the best way we can considering the circumstances. On Friday our DC branch held an outside celebration to hand out awards and deliver boxed hot lunches from Casa Blanca Bakery to all crew members.

DC Branch Manager, James Kole, handed out the following awards:

Supervisor of the Year – Jose Castro with consistent job quality and most hours saved compared to estimate (not pictured due to being scheduled off)

Branch MVP – David Saravia – Always willing to help other team members. Coordinated all branch appreciation food. Always willing to switch his scheduled closing nights. Combined his crews saved more hours compared to estimates.

Most Enhancement Sales – Anthony Fuller – Sales drive the branch. Anthony exceeded his sales goal by 29k, even more than that if you include construction sales.

Safety Award – Josue Martinz – with no recorded incidents for him or any of his crew members

Third-Party Referral Services

The landscaping industry is undergoing some major changes in the way it operates internally and externally. There are lots of new trends coming out that utilize and adopt available technologies from other industries. There is a growing push to make every step of the process frictionless for the client, from how services are purchased, to how they are performed, to how completed tasks are communicated to customers.

In the residential sector, services that mirror Uber, DoorDash, and GrubHub's platforms are starting to pop up.

There is concern that these services will further commoditize our industry and some are reluctant to accept these radical changes. Whether or not you believe they are good for the industry as a whole, it is important to monitor their impact and to be prepared to adapt.

Check out this article by Lindsey Getz in Turf Magazine to get some more insight into what is happening.

Some in the lawn care industry see third-party referral services as helpful revenue drivers, but others have concerns about what they mean for the market.

How I Do It: Maintaining Employee Motivation - National Association of Landscape Professionals

Landscaping can be very hard work, and motivating people to keep coming back every day can be challenging.

Check out some tips from Douglass Delano in this article from the National Association of Landscape Professionals

It’s natural for your employees to sometimes lose motivation, but it is your job as the company leader to step up and provide the right morale boost for your team. “It is our responsibility as leaders/coaches/managers to be aware of how our employees are feeling and intervene when we can to lift...

Now that winter has set in across the Mid-Atlantic gone are the beautiful colors of leaves and flowers that covered our landscapes. However, that doesn't mean that your property needs to look drab, it actually creates the perfect backdrop and framework for colorful Holiday lighting.

Seasonal decor has been proven to raise moods and increase foot traffic. The nostalgia mixed with the bright colors spike dopamine production in our bodies and can lead to increased happiness.

Are you interested in sprucing up your property for the winter? Reach out to your Account Manager and see how we can illuminate your property for the winter.

Our motto at Level Green Landscaping is "Do the right thing", and that doesn't just mean with customers, it means with our employees as well.

Last Friday, we contracted Walgreens to help us as we hosted the first of 3 clinics to provide free Flu shots to our employees. We have over 90 employees signed up to receive this care.

Thank you to all the nurses and pharmacists that helped make this event safe and successful!

This past Saturday, September 26th, 2020, we sponsored a site cleanup at Glen Echo Park (U.S. National Park Service) for the 32nd Annual Alice Ferguson Potomac Watershed Clean-up Day.

Many members of our team, family members, and members of the community joined together to safely pick up debris from around the site.

For co-owner, Doug Delano, it was an extra special day as he was also celebrating his birthday!

Thanks to everybody who made the day a success and transformed the park into a cleaner environment.

As a company we are excited to be on the cutting edge of new technologies that are starting to come into the landscaping industry.

Yesterday we had an opportunity to see a live demo from a robotics company that is creating a completely autonomous mower built with state-of-the-art A.I. that is capable of recognizing and avoiding obstacles.

We had a special opportunity to partner with another landscaping company in the area to help out the community we serve. Level Green's Paul Wisniewski and McHale Landscape Design's Keith Bowman had been talking for months about doing some volunteer work together. McHale helped clean-up and mulch the Light House - Homeless Prevention Support Center in Annapolis. Keith asked Paul if he would be willing to help with the maintenance and of course he jumped at the opportunity to help with such a great organization. McHale put Paul in touch with Heather Cassidy, the Deputy Director at the Light House who said they would be happy to have our help since COVID had taken a toll on the property's appearance.

We put a team of volunteers together that included managers, crew members and office staff to work on the property this week.

We are delighted to have been part of this great opportunity to give back to an organization that has given so much to the Annapolis, Maryland community. We look forward to continuing to give back to the community alongside our industry partners in the coming months. Thanks to everybody that made the project a huge success!

Being safe during these uncertain times has meant that our teams have kept socially distant and have not held any in-person meetings inside. However, our company has a strong family bond and it is important that our teams are able to interact with each other in person at times.

Our DC branch has found a creative way to hold team meetings and keep everybody safe - great job!

Mower Maintenance
Mower Maintenance

In conjuction with Detailing Dynamics Inc., our crews power wash and clean their equipment on a weekly basis. The cleaning of equipment helps to indentify problems early and keeps machines running longer by preventing excessive dirt buildup that can negatively impact the use or life of the equipement.

Detailing Trucks
Detailing Trucks

We get compliments on the condition of our trucks and equipment often, but it doesn't happen by accident. As a company we put a lot of emphasis on having good looking vehicles and equipment, but why? We understand that while we are parked on your property taking care of your landscaping, we are a representation of you. We also understand that keeping our equipment clean helps our crews stay safer (by being able to spot potential problems early) and keeps our equipment running longer (less downtime). We partner with Detailing Dynamics Inc. to keep our fleet in top condition. Every other week our entire production fleet gets washed, waxed and detailed. Want to learn more?

Electric Mower
Electric Mower

We firmly believe that as a company we should be doing the best we can for the environment around us. As part of that, we are always looking at new technology to keep us on the cutting edge of the industry. Be sure to turn the sound on for this video so you can hear the birds chirping in the background! This electric push mower from STIHL helps to lessen our impact on the environment by reducing our carbon footprint. The mower runs completely on rechargeable batteries. This mower is much quieter than it's gas counterparts, which also helps to reduce noise pollution in city and urban areas where we work. Technology in our industry is starting to advance rapidly. Electric powered equipment is becoming as powerful and productive as gas equipment allowing us to start introducing pieces into our commercial maintenance fleet. This year our West branch will be running two completely electric crews in DC. Throughout the year we will be sharing more equipment and practices - if you are interested in learning more about our decision to start switching to electric equipment, check out this blog article: https://www.levelgreenlandscaping.com/blog/gas-vs-electric-powered-landscaping-equipment

Last Thursday we reviewed how the company is performing in the first half of the year. While the focus of the meeting is to discuss the positives and negatives of the first six months, we also try to have a little fun and recognize people for outstanding achievements. Juan Olivar was recognized for his dedication to safety. Juan goes above and beyond to train his crews to consistently use PPE and think safety first. For lunch, we had a cookout complete with hamburgers, hot dogs and sausage. At the end of the meeting we had a game show style competition to test each branch's knowledge of the material reviewed during the meeting as well as other Level Green trivia. Joey Schneider, Account Manager from our East branch stole the show by answering the majority of the questions correctly.

South River Landing Pruning
South River Landing Pruning

With spring well under way, and this year's unseasonably warm start, some plants are already in need of a haircut. We are out using a combination of pruning and plant growth regulators to keep shrubs looking their best. Each plant type has an optimal time for pruning, so don't be surprised if everything doesn't get cut on the first round. We want to make sure plants are kept healthy, and will be pruning at the appropriate time throughout the year. Check out this video out of Miguel Herrera from our East branch pruning at South River Landing in Edgewater, MD. Look at that huge smile!
