Tuesday, February 14, 2012BOARDMAN, Ohio -- American Beauty Landscaping has joined the Pittsburgh-based LandOpt Contractor Network. American Beauty is 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.
American Beauty Landscaping, founded 32 years ago by Roger Myers, is a high-end residential design and commercial maintenance landscape operation that provides service in a five-county area of northeast Ohio and western Pennsylvania.
“Continuing education has long-been a core focus for our team, as has superior customer service, professional networking and being active in industry association,” Myers said. “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.”
Tim Smith, LandOpt president and CEO, said 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.”
LandOpt, founded in 2004, helps independent landscape contractors increase revenue, profitability and long-term growth through a portfolio of business systems, products and processes that focus on the key areas of sales, operations, business management, human resources and marketing. Experts in the green industry, the LandOpt team affects change via year-round training, coaching and events that allow contractors within the network to share best practices and learn from one another in a non-competitive environment.
