Why settle for “ Half & Half” when you can have “ the full Monty “ ? Adding a sip of whipped milk into your coffee automatically transforms it into a tasty and exclusive Cafe Latte, a really value-added thing to do nowadays if you are in the Coffe-Shop business.

However, adding a bit of price-beaten landscaping or low-balling lawncare into the huge pot of facility services, doesn’t automatically transform a cleaning company into a dedicated Outdoor-Professional! The Know-How of the real Landscaping Industry and the Hearts of the Green Professionals give the customers something more than just mere management. Something to do with dedicated leadership, true committment and specialized organizations that have nothing what-so-ever to do with dry-cleaning, catering or housemaids!

It is often righteous said in this business that the best ideas to increase productivity and strengthen the competitive capability comes from the working men and women out in the field, or from their co-working foremen. This is indeed very true today when we are struggling in an ever more competitive market with hundreds or thousands of new service-firms wanting to “ take a share of the market “ and offers a wide mix of services to a wide range of customers.

But are they really capable of handling all these different services with the same competence, attention and long-term commitment as the Landscapers themselves? Is it not so, that landscaping and grounds maintenance plays a subordinate role in their big structures and when it comes to management it is more a question of facility management in general than it is of particularly grounds management?

In Sweden, we have long seen the development of facility management firms and how they grow through mergers and acquisitions instead of growing the normal way, through building reputation and relations, loads of hard work and a genuine mission for developing the living, green On-stage surfaces into an out-door environment filled with activities, re-creation and experiences.

Sure, Landscapers, are also both keen on building and performing excellent functionality on back-stage surfaces where low-cost installation and maintenance goes hand in hand and they are most willing to find cost-efficient solutions for cleaning and maintaining all green surfaces, but primarily the Landscape Industry is The Defender and The Innovator of Building with green materials for both a sustainable and enjoyable future for Mother Nature.

“ Markservice “ in Swedish means integrated grounds services and that is also part of the name of the leading independent Landscape contractor in Sweden.

With more than 20 local offices around Sweden, from north to south, they manage to succeed extremely well by focusing on the Grounds Management as a entity and instead of diversifying the business into all kinds of facility services, they offer a complete solution for all professional outdoor services ranging from design and installation to maintenance and renovation with a true green commitment from the top leadership down to the landscape gardeners, technicians and machine operators in the field.
