There’s a lot to consider when selecting a commercial grounds maintenance firm to care for your property. So it’s important to carefully vet your landscape provider options and determine the best fit for your needs.
You’ve probably heard of two local firms: Diamond Landscapes and Al’s Complete Lawn Care. Both provide commercial landscape maintenance services to properties like yours. However, the companies vary in their focus—and you’ll find that what Klausing Group offers is different, too. While some of our qualities are similar (we all started our businesses as young, motivated guys in the field performing service), you’ll find that our business philosophies are not the same.
At Klausing Group, we believe you should expect more from your landscaping. So read on as we take an honest look at what two leading Lexington companies, Diamond Landscapes and Al’s Complete Lawn Care, have to offer. (Then we’ll take a look at how Klausing Group compares.)
What we appreciate about Diamond Landscapes is its homegrown roots. Owner Chris Trower started the business 21 years ago and has grown the operation significantly over the years. We also have respect for the fact that Diamond employs landscape industry certified staff—that has always been a priority for us at Klausing Group. Trower is Landscape Industry Certified, and team members include a fleet manager with 20-plus years of mechanical experience and a trained horticulturalist. This speaks to professionalism, in our opinion.
Diamond Landscapes Vitals:
Like Diamond Landscapes and Klausing Group, Al’s is a locally owned and operated firm, which is attractive to many businesses looking for a Kentucky landscape provider. Al’s includes a statement of its faith-based commitment and says it promotes an environment of respect. We believe respect and a focus on delivering honest, fair service to clients is the foundation of a successful business.
Just recently, Al's Complete Lawn Care has purchased Louisville based Browning Landscaping. Browning serves both commercial and residential clientelle while also offering snow removal. With this aquisition, we can assume that Al's will be servicing both the Lexington and Lousville markets moving forward
Al’s Complete Lawn Care Vitals:
So, what makes these two landscape providers different? A lot, actually. Diamond Landscapes’ focus on snow removal and the size of its fleets and programs position it as a leader in Kentucky for snow and ice removal. Al’s niche service in the equine farm arena draw clients that Diamond Landscapes generally does not serve.
Both landscape firms serve commercial property owners and offer year-round services. We think it’s important for property managers to enlist in single-source provider that can be accountable year-round for maintaining the commercial site.
But what makes Klausing Group different from both Diamond and Al’s is our commitment to maximizing the value of clients’ landscapes. We view your commercial property as an opportunity to improve the environment, overall. While we recognize the importance of curb appeal, that’s not our sole focus. Because there’s so much more involved in landscaping: stormwater management, reducing carbon footprint, selecting plants and trees that “give back” by contributing to the natural habitat without requiring excessive resources like water and fertilizer.
We love introducing our clients to green infrastructure and the possibilities to improve their return-on-investment in the landscape, and the sustainability of their grounds.
Klausing Group employs more Landscape Industry Certified professionals than any company in Kentucky, and we invest in training and providing career paths for our people. This passion for the green industry shows in the properties we care for in Central Kentucky. And, our attention to detail and understanding of complex landscape construction projects makes us a partner of choice for general contractors working on high-visibility commercial projects in Lexington and beyond.
Klausing Group has two locations in Kentucky—Louisville and Lexington—and 20-plus years serving Fortune 500 companies as a preferred landscape maintenance partner. Our roots are here in Kentucky, yet our scope of work makes a national impression at world headquarters. Our Landscape Industry Certified professionals partner with commercial property owners like you to meet your needs. And, we’re always thinking beyond typical maintenance and how we can drive value, save cost and improve the environment.
