There are now two Powered by LandOpt Contractors in the state of Ohio. Boardman-based American Beauty Landscaping has joined the LandOpt Contractor Network.
Founded 32 years ago by owner Roger Myers, American Beauty is a high-end residential design and full service commercial maintenance landscape operation that provides service in a five-county area of Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. Myers’ interest in the LandOpt System was sparked by a conversation at an October tradeshow, as the business owner had been researching resources that would not only help him grow his business, but ultimately allow for an overall increase in profit. As a veteran business owner, he recognized that internal systems would be a key factor in helping him overcome some of his existing business challenges.
“There are so many things that our company does well,” noted Roger. “Continuing education has long-been a core focus for our team, as has superior customer service, professional networking and being active in industry association,” he noted, referencing the half dozen or more professional associations to which the company and/or individuals are active members. “But with significant growth comes certain challenges and LandOpt’s green-industry focused, long-term, multi-disciplined approach to business coaching seemed like the appropriate fit for us at this time.”
Noted LandOpt President & CEO Tim Smith, Myers is a perfect example of a successful leader who understands that a willingness to change and adopt new discipline internally can lead to great rewards. “Certainly American Beauty is a successful company in its own right, and has a well-deserved reputation as being among the elite in the Boardman market,” he said. “Now, the challenge is to sustain growth at a profitable margin, something LandOpt’s tools and processes will help the American Beauty team to achieve.”
American Beauty will become the second LandOpt Contractor in Ohio, joining Marion-based Proscape Lawn & Landscape Services and bringing the total number of contractors within the LandOpt Network to 20. LandOpt has seen steady growth over the past six months, adding locations that span the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions of the country.
