Landscape professionals who participated in Green Industry Pros' State of the Industry report offer up their top advice for others in the industry.
Find a mentor.
"Find someone that's done it. Find someone that is where you want to be." — Pierre Bridger, director of operations, Vibrant Outdoors
Don't compromise on price.
"Sell clients on the value you can provide them. We have a saying we tell clients, 'We will not be your lowest cost provider, but for every dollar you spend with us, you will get the most value.' Be sure to sell yourself and your services. Not your price." — Kirk Brown, owner, Outdoor Splendor
Connect with other landscapers.
"I think one of that's one of the benefits of talking to other landscapers all over the United States: It's easier to network with somebody and find out what they're using and seeing if that can be implemented into your own business to help your business grow faster." — Scott Horoszewski, Acme NLS
