The landscape industry has been good to Klausing Group and we’re dedicated to leaving the industry a more professional, sustainable industry than when we found it. We do our part by focusing on the invisible; the things that you don’t always see, like implementing pre-employment screening and verifying worker eligibility; environmental, health, and safety programs; employee training and industry certification; and standardized customer service procedures. Often times, its attention to the invisible that sets organizations apart.
But, we’re not the only ones working to improve the professionalism of the landscape industry.
