You landscape provider will manage the beauty and health of your landscape—along its safety, accessibility and sustainability.

We often join these providers at the bidding table, so we’d like to take a moment to share some information about them, the benefits of hiring these landscape companies, and what sets Klausing Group apart.
Here is a side-by-side comparison of Full Care Inc. and Pro Turf Lawn & Landscaping.

The Difference: Full Care Inc. vs Pro Turf (vs. Klausing Group)
So, what’s the real difference between Full Care Inc. and Pro Turf Lawn & Landscaping? A lot, actually. For one, Full Care is a regional business with offices outside of Kentucky. Meanwhile, Pro Turf is a homegrown family-owned business that has expanded locally. Both companies are reputable and have satisfied residential and commercial clients in Louisville.
Some property owners will choose Full Care for its emphasis on snow and ice management. The company does tend to set itself apart in this arena. However, Pro Turf can win out among property managers who want to hire a firm that’s locally based. What they have in common is a level of respect in the industry as leading landscape providers.
Where Klausing Group wins is its focus on commercial grounds management, and our ability to handle complex commercial landscape construction projects in Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky. We have two distinct landscaping divisions—a commercial landscape maintenance division that focuses on grounds maintenance, including snow and ice management and enhancements to increase the value of your property. And, a commercial landscape construction division that designs and builds landscapes that “do more” with a mind toward better serving commercial customers and the community.
Regarding industry involvement, Klausing Group employs more Certified Landscape Professionals through that National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) than any other company in the state of Kentucky. And, we offer four seasons of grounds management services to our commercial clients, which means single-source accountability for facility managers.
But perhaps what differentiates Klausing Group the most from Full Care and Pro Turf is our proactive, defined issue resolution process that provides timely resolution within 24 hours. And, follow-up ensures satisfaction and tracking empowers facility managers with information. The system is focused on open communication—and rather just saying, “We handle problems,” we define exactly how issue resolution happens. Commercial property managers value that.
