What do you look for in a new job?
Great pay? Vacation time? A company vehicle to drive?

Michael Mayberry, chief technical officer at Level Green Landscaping, has contributed to his company’s steady growth, and sees a lot more of it down the road.
He shares six reasons why joining a growing landscaping company is a key to your career success.
It’s kind of overwhelming to be a brand new account manager at a landscaping company.
So many clients. So many needs.
“Clients realize they don’t know everything about their property’s landscaping, but they expect us to,” says Emilie Roper, account manager at Level Green Landscaping.
Roper graduated with a horticulture degree from Brigham Young University-Idaho, so she knew plenty.
But it was the several months she spent in Level Green Landscaping’s management training program that really set her up for success. She learned on the job how to be an account manager before being promoted to the role, spending time in every department of the growing company.

When Corey Rill was in college at Virginia Tech, he had two majors. One was turf grass management. The other was ocean and aerospace engineering.
“One math problem took six hours,” he says of the engineering classes.
When it was time to settle on a career, he chose grass. It’s worked out pretty well.
Now, as account manager at Level Green Landscaping, Corey tends to some pretty nice turf. But there’s so much more.
The Level Green story starts like a lot of great stories — with an intriguing idea and a conversation over lunch.
In this case, lunch was at Red Lobster. But Bill Hardy and Doug Delano could have been eating peanut butter sandwiches in a truck and still come to the same conclusion: they should start a landscaping company together.
The two friends had worked together for years at a Maryland landscaping company. Doug started out as a laborer and truck driver and worked his way up to supervisor, project manager, area manager and branch manager.
Bill started as assistant supervisor and moved on to be a supervisor, account manager and branch manager.
When Doug decided to start his own business, he immediately thought of Bill as the perfect business partner.
From the beginning, the pair had strong values and high standards.
