    The Client

    Where Trust Meets Transformation

    The client was founded in 2017 by a husband-and-wife team with the vision to transform outdoor spaces and elevate communities. What began as a small venture quickly grew into a company with eight crews, 25 dedicated employees, and hundreds of properties maintained and transformed.

    As the company flourished, the owner recognized the need to recalibrate the mission and serve with more intentionality. In pursuit of this goal, the owner sold a portion of the company to realign with the original vision.

    Now in 2025, the client has relaunched with a renewed purpose — to serve each community in a transformative and meaningful way. The Lake Murray location marks the beginning of what they hope will be the first of many franchise locations across the United States.

    The Challenge

    Relaunching a Brand With Purpose

    After restructuring the business and relaunching with a renewed mission, the client needed more than just a website — they needed a complete marketing strategy to re-establish themselves in the competitive Columbia, SC landscaping market.

    The challenge was clear: rebuild brand awareness from scratch, communicate their unique values-driven approach, and create a steady pipeline of both commercial and residential clients in the Lake Murray area.

    They needed a partner who could tell their story authentically while building the systems to turn that story into consistent, measurable growth.

    They also had to win two very different customers at once — property managers and businesses shopping for commercial maintenance, and homeowners looking for a crew they could trust — while recruiting good people to keep up with the work.

    The Strategy

    What We Did

    We relaunched the brand and built a full marketing system across Columbia and Lake Murray, with separate paths for commercial and residential customers.

    Brand Relaunch

    A refreshed brand identity and messaging that put the company's values-driven story front and center.

    New Website

    A new website with separate commercial and residential service pages and a simple way to request a quote.
