A Decade of Growth: Landscape Performance at National Scale
Over a decade, a national operator successfully maintained a high-quality landscaping program across 1,600+ sites through six leadership changes by implementing a recurring service model, prioritizing irrigation upgrades based on site data, and conducting annual quality assurance, resulting in over $500K in early savings, 95% on-time work order completion, and rapid compliance issue resolution.
A Decade of Growth: Landscape Performance at National Scale
Overview
Landscaping is one of the most visible signals of how well a property is run — and one of the easiest programs to lose control of across a 1,600-location portfolio. This national operator's landscape program weathered six leadership transitions over a decade without a disruptive re-bid. Aging irrigation and varied site conditions created compliance exposure and avoidable repair cost.
The Challenge
• 1,600+ sites needed quality without budget • Aging irrigation created compliance risk • Leadership changes threatened re-RFP cycles
The Solution
• Recurring vs. reactive mix cut $500K+ waste • Site data prioritized irrigation upgrades • Annual QA and year-over-year benchmarking
