IN DEPTH
Ideal Landscape Group is the parent company of Ideal
Landscape Management, Inc. and Ideal Landscape Construction,
Inc. The company does business only in the St. Louis
metropolitan market and operates from our state-of-the-art
operations facility located in south St. Louis County. Ideal
Landscape Management maintains approximately 115 commercial
clients per year.
Our account managers and
company directors attend the annual ALCA (Associated Landscape
Contractors of America) conference, part of the national Green
Industry Expo. Training at this national seminar is
supplemented by an on-going, 52-week education program throughout the year
plus local
seminars, on-line courses, and personal interest in
self-betterment. At seasonal capacity the company employs over
100 full-time workers all of whom are trained and licensed (if
required) in the green industry. Ideal’s turnover rate is very
low thanks to a company culture which encourages employee pride
and sense of ownership in the organization.
Virtually our entire
seasonal workforce has been with us the past several years
and all are expected to return in 2008 as part of the United States Department of
Labor’s H-2B work visa program. Each laborer is in the United States
legally on an official visa and all have valid U.S. Social Security
numbers ensuring the payment of all applicable taxes.

A good portion of the
Ideal client list is composed of commercial/residential
properties, condominiums, and gated communities. Our care and landscape management
of Spyglass Summit has allowed the property to be recognized
for outstanding landscape maintenance through receipt of the
city of Chesterfield’s Beautification Award in 2003 and 2004.
