DESIGN YOURSELF OUT
Why Structure Scales What Hard Work Can't in the Green Industry
You didn’t build your landscape company to become its bottleneck.
But if every scheduling change, pricing exception, equipment purchase, and client escalation still flows back to you.... You are.
Most $3M–$15M landscape companies don’t stall because of a lack of effort.
They stall because the owner is still the operating system.
Effort doesn’t scale. Structure does.
What You’ll Learn
Inside Design Yourself Out, you’ll discover how to:
- Reduce daily escalations by 60–70%
- Reclaim 10–15 owner hours per week
- Install clear decision rights across your leadership team
- Eliminate ambiguity that drains time and margin
- Increase operational maturity — and company valuation
This is not theory.
It’s a practical framework built specifically for green industry operators.
If your company slows down when you step away, this book is for you.
Structure scales. Hard work doesn’t.
Get your copy and start building a company that runs
without you.

Leadership Infrastructure That Scales Under Pressure
We help leadership teams design decision authority, alignment, and trust structures before growth and AI transformation expose the gaps.
This is upstream advisory for companies where decisions are rolling uphill, leaders are stretched thin, and execution is starting to slow.
The Real Problem
Growth Doesn’t Break Organizations.
It Reveals What Was Never Designed.
As organizations grow, the symptoms are familiar:
Decisions start rolling uphill.
(30+ escalations daily that team members should own.)
Good leaders hesitate under pressure.
(not because they can't decide, but because authority was never defined.)
Technology surfaces issues faster than teams can respond.
(AI adoption stalls at 15-20% because the structure underneath isn't ready.)
Nothing appears “broken.”
But leadership capacity was never designed to scale at this speed.
AI does not cause these problems.
It exposes them.
The Structural Gap No One Is Talking About
Across field-based and green industry organizations, three forces are colliding:
Faster Execution
Faster execution cycles driven by AI and automation
Decision Volume
Increased decision volume at the edge of the organization
Leadership Capacity
Leaders promoted for competence, not clarity
