FRACTIONAL COO FOR LANDSCAPING OWNERS
Your landscaping company shouldn’t stop when you stop driving the routes.
Frontier helps landscaping owners doing $500K–$10M put crews, routes and quotes on a system the team owns, so the business runs without you at the center.
Why does everything in your landscaping company still run through you?
Landscape owners spend the season in the truck: checking crews, fixing routes, quoting enhancements and answering the phone. Then winter comes and nothing got built.
- Crew leaders wait on you to plan the day.
- Routes and schedules live in your head.
- Enhancement and install quotes sit until you get to them.
- Equipment and materials aren’t owned by anyone.
- Every spring you rehire and retrain from scratch.
It’s not you. It’s how the business is designed. When nobody owns the outcome and nobody has the authority to decide, it all flows back to the owner.
How does Frontier get your landscaping company off your back?
Frontier installs the operating system in four stages: Clarity → Alignment → Execution → Scale. For a landscaping company, that means a clear owner for routing, quoting and equipment, a weekly scorecard with the numbers that matter (crew hours, revenue per crew, enhancement sales, rework), a meeting rhythm your crew leaders actually run, and SOPs the crews use. Built ≠ Owned: it isn’t done until your team runs it without you.

Landscaping owner questions
What does a fractional COO do for a landscaping company?
A fractional COO builds and runs the operating system a growing landscaping company needs, part-time, without the cost of a full-time hire. That means a clear owner for every function, a weekly scorecard, a meeting rhythm, and SOPs, so day-to-day decisions stop landing on the owner.
How is that different from a landscaping business coach or a software consultant?
A coach advises and a software consultant sets up tools. A fractional COO installs the system and stays until your team runs it. Frontier’s standard is Built ≠ Owned: nothing counts as done until your team uses it without you.
What does it cost?
Individual Coaching is $250 an hour. System Builds start at $2,500 per project. An Operating Partner engagement starts at $3,000 a month.
What size landscaping company is this for?
Frontier works with founder-led landscaping owners doing $500K to $10M a year, especially where too many decisions still run through the owner.
Will this work with the software we already use?
Yes. Frontier builds the process around the tools you already run instead of selling you new software.
How long until the business runs without me?
It depends on where the business starts and which option you choose, so we won’t promise a date before we’ve looked. The Discovery Call is where you get an honest read.
Should we start in the off-season?
That’s the best time. Building the system over the winter means it’s in place before spring hiring and the first mow.
