Here's What a Few Landscape Pros Are Grateful For

This Thanksgiving reminds us of how grateful we are to work for such amazing professionals in the landscape industry who are making our communities better places and creating career opportunities for their employees. When you look back at 2017 what are you most thankful for? We asked NALP members and here are a few of their responses.

“Looking back on 2017 we are thankful first to the people that work so hard pushing this company to new milestones. While there is always more work to be done we have built a great team around a foundation of company culture, clear mission and values to live by based on integrity, personal growth and legendary client services. We work hard to make our company a place people want to work and the result has been more tenured people, a stronger management team, little turnover, happy clients and a margin to fuel growth and push our planned direction. We remain optimistic for our companies future and the increasing professionalism of our industry.”
