Five Critical Lessons from Top Landscape and Lawn Care CEOs
At Leaders Forum, the executive-level leadership conference of the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP), top industry CEOs shared their struggles and challenges on the way to success with panel host, Scott Jamieson of Bartlett Tree Care Experts.
Panelists included: Jennifer Lemcke, COO, Weed Man USA; Chris Joyce, president, Joyce Landscaping Inc., Marstons Mills, Massachusetts; Paul Fraynd, CEO, Sun Valley Landscaping, Omaha, Nebraska; Mark Tomko, CEO, Metco Landscape, Aurora, Colorado; and Jason Mathers, president, Monarch Landscape Management, Houston, Texas.
So What Five Lessons Have These Executives Learned from Their Mistakes?
Get out of the way and delegate. Haunted House Fraynd confided that he (like many other CEOs) had a fear of letting go of control, but learning a way of management that allowed him to delegate things and then let employees take over was critical to success.
Financial planning is key. Tomko shared that, in the beginning, the company wasn’t focused enough on making projections and measuring against them in order to increase profits.
When the business grows, your role needs to change Landscape Contractors. Joyce had to learn the hard way that the role of the president or CEO changes as the business grows, and you need to shift from being fully hands on to focusing on managing people and creating development opportunities for staff.
Face problems head on. Sometimes it is easier when a staff person isn’t working out to give him or her more time, and hope it works out. But Lemcke learned that you don’t have time not to deal with a staff problem and that you can’t make everyone fit—sometimes a position or the career isn’t a good match for people and tough decisions are better in the end for everyone.
Retaining people is as important as hiring them. In the highly competitive environment to hire employees—keeping them is critical. Mathers learned that you can’t just hire people who fit at the time, and then struggle when the business grows and they aren’t a fit anymore. You need to create a system to help employees grow as the company grows Lawn Fertilization.
Have Successful CEOs Figured Out the Secret to Work-Life Balance?
In Walkway Installs a word—no. The CEO panel seemed to coalesce around the idea that the perfect work-life balance is a myth. Instead you have to cut yourself a break and accept the fact that sometimes the business has to come first, sometimes your family’s needs come first and you do the best you can to carve out time for yourself. As Joyce noted, your business feels like another child, and it is important to take care of it and nurture it without guilt.
Tips for Managing Emails
Our CEO panel struggles with the email tsunami just like everyone else. What is their approach?
Turn off email notifications, which disrupt concentration.
Look at emails early in the morning and then don’t look at them again during the day.
Section off a few times a day to review emails and don’t look at them the rest of the day.

“Ghost Hunt” of the Phryte Wing of the Sunnydale Hospital. If you dare!
“Ghost Hunt” of the Phryte Wing of the Sunnydale Hospital. If you dare!
Most bloodlines as old as the Phryte’s have genetic oddities, and even inherited diseases that “curse” the family tree. In the case of the Phryte family their disease was so horrifying that it was hidden away from the town and even from family members. Often misdiagnosed as adult on-set Polio, Bare Distortion Syndrome is debilitating painful illness that plagued the Phryte family throughout its history.
This gruesome family curse causes the human body to distort, and twist in a painful debilitating horror. Death was slow and the pain excruciating. Most of the family who contracted the disease either went mad or were driven to suicide by the pain long before the disease itself killed them. Over the decades, the Phryte family had donated millions of dollars to the local Sunnydale Hospital in hopes of finding a cure. Christened the Grievance Phryte Phryte Wing, most of the Sunnydale Hospital was devoted to finding a cure to this genetic disorder.
Then suddenly a wide spread disease hit Phryteville 1982 and filled the hospital past capacity. Almost overnight every room overflowed with the sick and dying. The symptoms of this plague were curiously similar to Bare Distortion Syndrome, but was transferred by casual contact rather than heredity. Hundreds of townsfolk quickly caught the Phryte family disease and even a quarantine of those infected was not enough to stop it from spreading.
Eventually, a vaccine was developed to stop the spread of the disease. However, there is no cure for the plague that struck Phryteville; there is only treatment that prolongs an eventual agonizing death. If you contracted the disease you died, painfully, and hundreds, maybe even thousands died. Many of them in the Phryte Wing, which is now considered the most haunted structure in New York State. A favorite of paranormal investigation teams and this October you can join in on a “Ghost Hunt” of the Phryte Wing of the Sunnydale Hospital. If you dare!

Looming over what was once the town of Phryteville is the ancestral home to the Phryte family, Phryte Manor. For over 200 years this exquisite example of Victorian Italianate Architecture has been expanded and added to as rooms were needed for new family members. Over time the house became a labyrinth of odd shaped hallways, stairways that go nowhere, and doors that open to brick walls. Whole sections of the building remain only half completed from the time of the town plague that also devastated the Phryte family. Now operated as a bed and breakfast by the Phryte family, historical tours of the massive home are available upon request. So that you don’t get lost in this maze-like house, stay close to your tour guides, members of the Phryte family who still reside in the structure. Please don’t be alarmed by their personality quirks, or stare at the contorted faces of these unfortunate Phrytes many of whom show signs of the debilitating family disease. They are just people just like you… if your last name was Phryte. 1. Halloween Activities :Halloween Activities 2. Haunted Attractions: Haunted Attractions 3.

Frightville: Village of Horror
It was the height of the Victorian era, and for as long as anyone could remember, in the small New York state hamlet of Phryteville, the Phryte family owned everything in town. If you lived in Phryteville it was in housing owned by the family, banked at the Savings and Loan owned by the Phryte family, and bought your food at the Phryte family’s Grocery Store. Your children were born in the Sunnydale Hospital in the Grievance Phryte wing, they went to the Phryteville Schoolhouse, and worked for low wages in the Phryte Doll Company. Eventually, you where embalmed in the Phryte Funeral home and buried in the Phryteville Cemetery. Even visitors to Phryteville stayed in the Phryte Hotel.
