You Built a Million-Dollar Landscape Company
It Shouldn't Still Own You

YOU'VE BUILT SOMETHING REAL
Maybe You Just Crossed $1 Million in Revenue
or You're Already Doing Several Million
The trucks are wrapped. Your crews are busy. Customers are buying. But you know the part they don’t see.
Some jobs make great money. Others don’t.
You get to the end of the year and wonder, “Where did the money go?”
Your phone still blows up whenever something changes.
Too many decisions still seem to come back to you.
Revenue keeps growing, but the company still doesn’t feel as free or predictable as you thought it would.
And even though you own the company...
Sometimes It Still Feels Like the Company Owns You.
Elevation Advisor was built to change that.
HERE'S THE REAL PROBLEM
Your Company Grew. But Somehow, Everything Still Comes Back to You.
When I restarted Legacy Landscapes in 2009, I told my first employee:
“If I have to pick up a shovel, we’re screwed.”
I wasn’t saying I was too good to work.
I knew my job as the owner had to be different.
I needed to sell the next job. Protect the profit. Keep the crews moving. And build the company.
But this is where a lot of successful landscape contractors get trapped.
The company gets bigger. You hire more people. You add trucks and equipment.
Yet somehow, everybody still needs you.
Where are the plans?
What exactly did we sell them?
Did the customer approve that?
What’s the budget?
Did the schedule change?
Where’s that photo?
And every one of those questions pulls you right back into a job you thought you had already grown out of.
Your Company Doesn’t Need More of You.
IT NEEDS A BETTER SYSTEM.
A system that gives your team the information and responsibility they need — without everything having to run through you.

This is what changed it for me
What If Your Company Could Keep Moving Without You?
Most landscape owners don’t need another app that gives them more stuff to manage. They need a system that takes work off their plate.
That’s what we built Elevation Advisor to do.
When a customer signs a proposal, Elevation automatically creates the project budget and invoice. Your foreman can see what was sold, the material quantities, plans, photos, documents and job notes without calling you to ask where everything is.
And when the customer wants a change, you, your salesperson, or even your foreman can create the change order right from the field. Once the customer signs it, Elevation automatically updates the project budget, extends the schedule, updates the invoice, and recalculates the remaining payment schedule.
Nobody has to remember to update five different places. And you don’t have to be the guy making sure it all happened.
THE GOAL ISN’T TO HELP YOU MANAGE MORE.
IT’S TO MAKE YOUR COMPANY NEED YOU LESS.
Because the owner of a million-dollar landscape company shouldn’t spend his day hunting down plans, answering jobsite questions and fixing paperwork.
“He should be selling the next job.”
THE SHIFT THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
I Spent 20 Years Pricing Work The Way I Was Taught
Kelly Mathison
30+ years in landscape construction • Owner, Legacy Landscapes
For the first 20 years of my career, I priced work the way most of us were taught.
I marked up labor. I marked up materials. I watched my gross profit percentages.
Some years I made really good money. Other years, not nearly as much.
Then in 2016, we sold a roughly $200,000 landscape project. On paper, the numbers looked right. The margins looked right.
But when the job was finished, the money wasn’t there.
That forced me to question something I had believed for almost 20 years:
What if markup wasn’t actually what was creating my profit?
MARKUP DOESN'T CREATE PROFIT
PRODUCTION DOES
Your materials don't determine how much your company can produce in a year.
YOUR CREWS DO
nowlet's talk about profit
How Much Do You Want Left in Your Account at the End of the Year?
Most pricing systems start with your costs and ask how much markup you should add.
Profit Genie starts at the other end.
You tell Elevation Advisor how much money you want left after your company’s expenses have been paid.
01
Choose Your Profit Goal
Tell Profit Genie how much money you want left after your company’s expenses have been paid.
02
Know How Many Days You Actually Have
Elevation looks at your crews, your overhead, and how many production days you really have available to make money.
03
Know What Your Crews Must Produce
Profit Genie calculates the daily production target your crews need to hit for you to reach that goal.
Instead of waiting until December to find out what you made, you know what your crews need to produce before the year even starts.

REAL LANDSCAPE CONTRACTORS. REAL RESULTS.
Don’t Take My Word for It.
"The methods I learned from Kelly saved me 5 years of trial and error."
Kelly reached out to me directly after I posted about struggles in my business, and his frank feedback, humor, and in-the-trenches experience changed how I think about running my company. The quoting system and Profit Genie showed me exactly what to charge, and our profits went up significantly. What sets Elevation apart is PMM (profit minus materials), a far clearer alternative to the outdated MORS (multiple overhead recovery system) most of the industry still runs on. PMM cuts through the fog and makes your billing rate precisely clear. I've used plenty of CRMs before, including ones with budgeting features, and none of them offer a system that actually makes you more money like Elevation does. Just be careful, it will make you face your excuses. Knowledge is power.

"Elevation Advisor has turned this landscaper into an incredibly successful salesman"
We came to Elevation Advisor after 7 years with a clunky, redundant bidding and CRM setup. Bids took too long, and my wife was entering customer data and payments in multiple places.
Elevation's onboarding is thorough, but stick with it and the outcome is unreal. My proposal times have dropped significantly with all my prices and suppliers in easy drop-down tabs, and my wife no longer spends hours re-entering data and double-checking my work.
Here's what you really need to know. I am a landscaper, not a salesman. Elevation Advisor turned me into an incredibly successful one, and our bank account is proof! Offering "packages" puts clients at ease to accept the base proposal, and they often upgrade as the project moves along. My profit margins this year have been far greater than ever before.

"Before Elevation Advisor, I was drowning in the chaos of running a business."
Every day felt like a scramble, keeping track of proposals, materials, crew notes, and client expectations. I knew I was capable of more, but I didn't have the systems to support it. Then Kelly stepped in, and it wasn't just about learning a new tool, it transformed the way I work. The clarity, the organization, the confidence, it was like someone finally handed me the playbook I'd been searching for. Kelly knew exactly what I needed before I did, and the system he showed me felt tailor-made for the way I think. I'm not just more productive, I'm more present, more strategic, and more in control. If you're serious about leveling up your business, stop guessing and start using what works. This is it.

A Few Questions You Might Have
Is Elevation Advisor only for landscape contractors?
Elevation Advisor was built specifically for landscape construction, hardscape, and outdoor-living companies. If you build projects with crews, labor, materials, and equipment, this is the type of business Elevation was designed around.
Is Elevation built for landscape maintenance companies?
Not really. Elevation was built primarily around project-based landscape construction rather than recurring mowing and maintenance. If construction is a meaningful part of your company, Elevation may still be a fit for that side of the business.
Will my crews and foremen be able to use it?
Elevation was built so information doesn’t have to live only with the owner. Your team can access the project information they need, including job details, material quantities, plans, photos, documents, notes, and budgets.
What size company is Elevation Advisor built for?
Elevation is designed for landscape construction companies that have crews in the field and need better control over pricing, sales, production, scheduling, job budgets, change orders, and invoicing.
