You’ve probably heard conversations about labor shortages in the landscape industry. We’re seeing it too. Some companies are struggling to staff their crews. Others are continuing to sell projects without knowing if they’ll have the team in place to complete the work on time. For homeowners, that can create uncertainty around scheduling, communication, and project quality.
At High Prairie, we’ve taken a different approach for years.
Built Around Full-Time Professionals
Our team is made up of full-time, year-round professionals, not seasonal labor. That consistency has helped us maintain a 96% team retention rate, far above the industry average of 40 to 60%.
That matters because experienced teams work differently. They know our systems, understand our standards, and bring continuity to every property we care for.
It also means we’re able to continue delivering reliable service even when the market feels unpredictable.
Strengthening Our Leadership Team
This year, we invested even more into the foundation that supports our clients and our team.
We expanded our leadership team, including bringing in a Director of Operations with experience leading systems and innovation at a Fortune 50 company.
At the same time, Bret has shifted his focus fully into developing our people, improving training, and refining internal systems that support long-term consistency.
These investments are designed to strengthen every part of the client experience, from communication and scheduling to project execution.
What This Means for You
When you work with a stable, experienced team, you benefit from:
- – More reliable scheduling and service delivery
- – Stronger systems behind every project
- – Better communication throughout the process
- – A team that is trained, supported, and prepared
- – Consistency you can count on season after season
While parts of the industry may be navigating uncertainty, we’ve been building for consistency. That’s how we protect your investment, your property, and your experience with High Prairie.
