Eastern Land Management

What Eastern Land Management does

Eastern Land Management (ELM) is a self-performing, full-service commercial landscape and grounds management company headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, serving commercial real estate, healthcare, education, and multifamily properties across Connecticut and the greater New York metro area including Westchester County. Founded in 1976 by Bruce Moore Sr. and led since 2018 by his son Bruce Moore Jr. as President and CEO, the company operates from three primary locations (Stamford HQ, a Monroe, CT Green Hub with brine-making and snow training, and a Harrison, NY branch) following the December 2024 acquisition of Contour Landscaping.

ELM offers six integrated core services: Landscape Management (scheduled maintenance and enhancements), Water Management (smart irrigation and conservation programs), Snow & Ice Management (24/7 winter operations and risk management), Amenities (construction, outdoor structures, holiday décor), Arborist Services (ISA-certified tree care), and Plant, Turf & Tree Health Care (integrated pest and nutrient management). Technology components include Weathermatic smart irrigation systems with predictive water-use monitoring, AGZA-certified battery-powered zero-emission equipment, autonomous mowing robotics, and client-portal digital collaboration platforms. The company holds Connecticut and New York pesticide, irrigation, and home improvement contractor registrations.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring multi-year landscape maintenance and snow/ice contracts with commercial property owners and managers, supplemented by project-based amenities and enhancement work. Go-to-market is a relationship-driven enterprise field-sales motion targeting Class A office, corporate campuses, healthcare campuses, and educational institutions, supported by industry-association participation (NALP, SIMA, BOMA Westchester, BOMA Southern Connecticut), earned media in regional business journals, and a direct RFP process. Reported customer retention of 96% and employee retention above 95% in 2024 indicate durable, renewal-driven revenue mechanics.
