In the Cultivated podcast, hosted by Eric Behunin, the trying challenges of the landscape industry are explored - from thin margins and unreliable labor to overwhelming burnout. Yet, Behunin assures listeners that the key to overcoming these issues lies within systems, automation, and AI tools. Through a series of business solutions proposed by HortGroup, Behunin explains how contractors can shift their businesses from survival mode to scalable, system-driven success. By automating repetitive tasks such as mowing and irrigation, restructuring contracts to be performance-based, and integrating AI-tools for streamlined client communication, efficiency, and control, businesses can break free from chaos. The benefits of partnering with HortGroup include property assessments for automation readiness, contract rewrites focusing on results, robotic system installs, and the implementation of front-end AI tools. Behunin emphasizes that these pioneering solutions aid businesses in confidently navigating the rapidly-evolving landscape industry, winning bids, and scaling their businesses without stress.
