20 Years Inside the Design/Build Machine

I work with established landscape design/build firms to refine positioning and intake discipline so better projects become easier to close.

I didn’t enter this industry as a marketer.

I built estimates.
Managed crews.
Navigated margins.
Closed projects.
Lived the $1M+ growth ceiling.

I understand where design/build firms actually leak profit:
• Misaligned consultations
• Underpriced design
• Scope drift
• Leadership bottlenecks

This isn’t about chasing traffic.

It’s about building authority and intake discipline so the right projects say yes — and the wrong ones filter out early.

AI and digital visibility matter.

But only when the positioning underneath them is sharp.

That’s the work.
