Crafting and maintaining a pristine commercial property is no small feat, even in a lush climate like the one found in Florida. It takes vision, expertise, experience, and commitment. That’s why most commercial properties trust professionals to care for their Tampa Bay landscapes. It can be the difference between a tropical Sunshine State oasis and an unhealthy, unsightly property.

If you want to maximize the potential of your property and keep it at its best year-round, you’ll want to partner with the right Tampa Bay commercial landscaping company.

After all, the hands you’re entrusting your property into can make or break not only how it looks, but also its health. There are short-term and long-term repercussions, so it is important to choose wisely.

In a saturated Tampa Bay commercial landscapers market, Landcrafters stands out. It is different than other landscaping companies in the area, and we’re here to share some valuable insights into how and why Landcrafters takes a distinct approach.

Why Landcrafters is Different than Other Tampa Bay Commercial Landscapers

Despite growing by leaps and bounds over the course of two decades, Landcrafters still considers itself a small, family-owned company. We’ve been able to retain the benefits of this format while scaling up thanks to a unique approach to our company structure, how we interact with and treat customers, and the value we place on our employees.

We’re not saying that the Landcrafters’ way is the only way, but it sure has worked well for our company and our clients. So, we thought we’d give you insider access into what makes us a bit different from the other Tampa Bay commercial landscaping companies.

We Equip Our Employees for Happiness and Success

At Landcrafters, valuing our employees goes beyond platitudes and lip service. We put our words into action by equipping our personnel for happiness and success on and off the job. Often, landscaping gets a reputation as being a job people take because it’s available. This isn’t the case at Landcrafters, and here’s why.

Our employees are genuinely passionate about landscaping.

They take legitimate interest and pride in their work, and we feel the same way about them. It’s a relationship based on respect, care, and familial values. That’s one of the primary reasons we have a low turnover rate compared to the rest of the industry.

We dedicate a tremendous amount of resources and time to ensuring our employees are supported. If they don’t feel like we have their back and they aren’t properly equipped to perform at the standard of excellence Landcrafters strives for, how can we expect them to succeed?

Here are just a few examples of how we care for our employees on and off the job.

• We provide comprehensive training to equip them for the responsibilities they will encounter as Landcrafters’ employees.
• We invest in top-quality tools that enable them to perform every job to their utmost potential. Bad tools can make a simple task difficult—we want even the most challenging job to be made easier with the right tools.
• We offer great pay and benefits, including vacation time, insurance, and paid holidays.
• Retirement plans are in the works, giving our employees an opportunity to plan for their future.
• Landcrafters embraces a family-oriented, close-knit business model to encourage comradery and inspire everyone to work well together.

We Value Client Relationships

It is not uncommon, especially in commercial landscaping, for companies to maintain a sort of distance between themselves and their customers.

At Landcrafters, we embrace the opposite—we treat every client as a partner as we pursue an ideal relationship with them. We refer to this style of customer relationship as a 1:1 culture—they are our partners, and we’ll do everything we can to help protect their investments and meet their goals.

This starts with education, joint effort (we work with you), and a personalized approach to not only your landscape but also our relationship. We take the time to educate our clients and ensure our communication is a two-way street. Every account at Landcrafters has an account manager with whom the client can build a relationship.

This account manager then becomes a line of communication that the client can contact directly. When you need us, you not only know we’ll be there, you’ll know exactly who we are.

Mow, Blow, and Go is NOT Our MO

The bare minimum might work for some people, but at Landcrafters, that’s just not our style. Instead, we prefer to go above and beyond what is expected to give our customers the commercial landscape of their dreams.

We want your Tampa Bay property to thrive, which is why we do full landscape management plans, invest in innovative processes, and offer quality audits.

For example, Landcrafters maps every commercial landscape it works on so that our crews can be as efficient as possible, even if they are new to your particular property.

This makes our work more cost-effective, consistent, and timely. It benefits our employees by keeping them informed, and the advantages for your Tampa Bay commercial landscaping range from saving money to maintaining a consistent curb appeal.

Our quality audits are another example of Landcrafters’ commitment to delivering stellar work to every customer. To give you insight into what our quality audits look like and how they contribute to a thoughtful, thorough approach to landscaping, we’ve provided a summary.

• We work with you to develop a schedule that makes sense. Quarterly, monthly, or even weekly quality audits are available depending on the scale of the property.
• Ideally, one of our account managers or supervisors will meet with someone on-site and walk the property with them. As we go, we listen to your feedback and concerns, make note of things we see, and discuss any changes that should be implemented to address issues or enhance the landscape.
  • Some common elements we examine are irrigation, weeds, fertilizer, and the overall health of plant life. Are shrubs looking full? Do any trees need trimming?
  • We also look for areas that can be improved to help protect your investment in your Tampa Bay commercial landscape. What can we do to help? What works within the current and future budget?
  • This is also an opportunity to identify potential problems before they become serious issues.
• A regular audit keeps everyone on the same page and engaged. It allows us to see how our crews have been performing and the state of your Tampa Bay property.
• The benefits of an audit also include improving trust, maintaining a healthy relationship, and providing education.

The Landcrafters Difference – Special from Top to Bottom

At Landcrafters, we’ve structured our business to prioritize our clients and staff.

If you think of our model as a pyramid, clients would be at the very top. The next level would be our personnel staff doing the work, then support staff, then management. At the base of the pyramid is the owner, supporting and directing the operation.

What’s unique about this format is that everyone experiences support at every touchpoint, and clients and employees are valued every step of the way. We believe it’s this commitment to our customers and our team that has allowed us to excel as a Tampa Bay commercial landscaping company for over 20 years.
