A Different Way To Run A Landscape Construction Business

Profit Is Designed.
Not Discovered.

Most landscape construction owners find out at the end of the year whether they made money. We think that’s backwards. 

Elevation Advisor is built on a different idea: you decide your profit first, then build the business to hit it. Not gut pricing. Not markup guesswork. A real number, built from your real business, applied to every job before the season starts.

Your Pricing System Was Never Designed to Tell You the Truth.

Landscaping is a production business. Your company has a finite number of production days in the year. That’s it. That’s your inventory. Every hour of unbillable time, every mis-priced job, every gap in the schedule is a production day that didn’t perform, and yet, the way most landscape construction companies price jobs relies on marking up materials, marking up labor, and marking up equipment. Then, they hope the percentages hold. This has been the industry standard for decades, but most owners just learned it from someone who learned it from someone else. Nobody questioned it because everybody used it.

We start with one question: How much money do you want in your account at the end of the year? The only goal of our software is to get you there. Instead of applying unpredictable markups across all your cost categories, we ask you to define your target profit at the start of the year, then establish a single, consistent daily production rate. This rate is universally applied to every proposal, change order, and job with materials strictly at cost. We call this PMM (Production Minus Materials), and it ensures you meet your goals no matter the job. This is how you determine your end-of-year profit before the season even starts.

This Is How We Think And How Elevation Advisor Helps You Break The Cycle

Elevation Advisor isn’t just a budgeting tool or an estimate builder, we’ve created an entire system based on our business philosophies to act as a co-captain for your company. This is how we approach business management.

  • Belief 1: Profit Is a Decision 
    Discovering profit at the end of the year is too late. We help you design it at the beginning of the season. Set your goal. Reverse-engineer your rate. Price every job from that number. The Profit Genie does the math, and you make the decision.
  • Belief 2: The Calendar Is the Business 
    Most contractors think the calendar is just for dates. It isn’t. When your calendar has holes, overlaps, or guesswork, your margin is leaking every day and it can turn into a flood before anyone notices. With our Smart Calendar, we protect production days because that’s where your revenue plan lives.
  • Belief 3: Most Owners Don’t Need More Jobs. They Need Fewer Bad Ones. 
    More jobs without the right system is just faster burnout. You end up with more jobs, more stress, and the same money. That’s business erosion. Real growth means knowing your numbers, protecting your production days, and having the confidence to say no to work that doesn’t hit the rate you need.

More profit. Less stress.

And more ... 

More features and overcomplicated systems won’t fix the issues plaguing landscapers. They need better judgment built into their systems. Every tool in Elevation Advisor exists to protect a core pillar of your business and connect back to the number you set on day one.

I Know What It Feels Like to Do Everything Right and Still Fall Short

I was doing what everyone told me to do. I stayed booked out. I hustled nonstop. I worked the long days, kept the crews busy, and closed big jobs.

But every winter, the same dread crept in. I was exhausted and still wondering where the money went. I lost two businesses. I nearly lost my marriage. I felt like I had built myself a job that had me trapped, not a business.

What finally changed everything was having a system. I stopped guessing and started making decisions based on real numbers.

Elevation Advisor is the tool I wish someone had given me years ago. So I built it for the guys who are still out there grinding without one.

Hunter's Story

Before Elevation Advisor, I was drowning in the chaos of running a business.

Every day felt like a scramble, trying to keep 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. He didn’t just introduce me to the Elevation Advisor system, he transformed the way I work. Suddenly, everything clicked. The clarity, the organization, the confidence… it was like someone finally handed me the playbook I’d been searching for. This system didn’t just help me run my business, it helped me reclaim my time, my focus, and my belief in what’s possible. Kelly’s guidance through the system was nothing short of game-changing. He knew exactly what I needed before I did, and the tools he showed me felt tailor-made for the way I think. I’m not just more productive, I’m more present. More strategic. More in control. And it’s all thanks to Kelly and the Elevation Advisor system. If you’re serious about leveling up your business, stop guessing and start using what works. This is it!

Max's Story

Elevation Saved Me 5 Years of Trial and Error

I met Kelly, the cofounder of Elevation Advisor, when he generously reached out in response to a post I made on a Facebook group about issues I was having in my company. He was instrumental in helping me think about my business in a different way and in overcoming the challenges I was having at the time through a combination of frank feedback, humor and sharing his unique approaches and in-the-trenches experience. I’ve read a lot of testimonials and we all know how much fluff and BS there is online. I’m sincere when I say that the Elevation methods I learned from Kelly saved me 5 years of continued trial and error. Using the quoting system that Elevation is based on was a massive shift in how I run my company. Our profits went up significantly and using the Profit Genie I was able to know exactly how much we needed to charge to make what I wanted to. I've used many other CRM's before in my career, including ones with budgeting features, and none of them offer a comprehensive system to make more money like Elevation. The system that Elevation uses is extremely unique in the industry. The software allows you to play with all kinds of hypothetical budgeting scenarios, so you can forecast for future growth or “what ifs”. One of the most unique elements of Elevation is the new concept of “PMM” (profit minus materials) and the system of applying it. If you’ve been in the industry for long enough, or have done your research, you're probably familiar with the MORS (multiple overhead recovery system) system. I feel that's very outdated, and can't lead to the type of clarity that everyone should want in their company financials. PMM cuts through all the fog and makes establishing your billing rate precisely clear. It boggles my mind how many companies are flying by the seat of their pants, not understanding their numbers and how much they really need to be charging so that they don't waste another 5 years of their lives treading water... or even whether they can really afford "that new machine". That includes companies that use the big dog CRM’s out there, most of which are glorified address books and basic spreadsheets made to look cute. Elevation takes the guess work out of the equation. Just be careful, because it will make you face your excuses. Knowledge is power. Max Floyd White Oak Landscapes
