Environmental Concepts Landscape Management

What Environmental Concepts Landscape Management does

Environmental Concepts Landscape Management, Inc. (ECLMI) is a privately held, family-owned landscape services company founded in 1999 by Ron and Sherry Hill in Temecula, California, and headquartered in Murrieta, California. The company operates four integrated service divisions — Landscape Management, Water Management, Tree Care, and Construction — delivered to Common Interest Developments (HOAs), townhouse/condominium/apartment projects, commercial and business facilities, residential estates, streetscapes and medians, and municipal/agency clients across San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and North San Diego Counties. The customer base is regional Southern California, with sales and service conducted via phone, contact forms, and direct field engagement by senior management.

The technical layer of the business centers on a Water Management Division that combines "Smart Technology" (weather-based smart controllers, flow sensors, moisture sensors) with irrigation auditing, soil testing, water budget review, ROI estimating, turf rebate and grant application support, and GIS mapping. The Tree Care Division operates under an ISA Certified Arborist, Certified Tree Care Safety Professional, and Registered Consulting Arborist (VP Don Nock), using company-owned equipment for pruning, removal, disease/pest control, urban forest management, and 3–5 year management plans. The Construction Division provides grading, hardscape, reclaimed-water conversion, erosion control, hydroseeding, fuel modification, and 24-hour response, while the Landscape Management Division delivers recurring turf edging, mowing, pruning, fertilization, irrigation repair, drainage maintenance, storm preparation, smart-controller updates, and maintenance reporting.

The business model is a mix of recurring managed-services contracts (landscape maintenance across HOAs, commercial, and residential properties) and project-based professional services (water management audits, tree care engagements, and construction/retrofit work). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with no standard rate card. The go-to-market is local/regional sales-led, supplemented by direct-to-consumer contact channels (phone, online contact form, and bilingual employment intake) and field-based relationship selling by senior management to large institutional clients. No revenue, headcount, funding, M&A, or investor data is disclosed; the company carries a broad stack of California state licenses (C-27 #775917, D-49, Maintenance Gardener Pest Control, four Qualified Applicator numbers) and industry certifications.

Broad incumbents

• BrightView Landscape Services: Largest U.S. commercial landscape services company; directly comparable to ECLMI across landscape maintenance, water management, and landscape construction for HOAs, municipalities, and commercial clients, but operating at a national scale with significantly broader resources.
• Davey Tree Expert Company: Employee-owned national tree care and landscape services firm with deep ISA-certified arborist expertise, commercial landscape maintenance, and utility vegetation management — directly overlaps with ECLMI's Tree Care and Landscape Management divisions at much larger scale.
• TruGreen: Largest U.S. lawn care company with water-conscious services (smart irrigation, drought-tolerant offerings) and broad residential/commercial footprint; adjacent to ECLMI's water management and turf reduction work but skewed to lawn care rather than full landscape construction.

Direct peers

• Yellowstone Landscape: Regional commercial landscape services company serving HOAs, municipalities, and corporate clients across the Southeast and Texas with maintenance, irrigation, and tree care — directly comparable in service mix and customer base to ECLMI, though geographically non-overlapping.
• SavATree / SavaLawn: Tree, shrub, and lawn care provider combining ISA-certified arborist-led tree care with landscape and water management services for residential and commercial clients; closely comparable to ECLMI's integrated service offering and certification-led positioning.
• Bartlett Tree Experts: Scientific tree and shrub care company with ISA-certified arborists, plant health care, and integrated landscape services; closely matches ECLMI's certified-arborist-led Tree Care division and urban forest management capabilities.
• LandCare (formerly USM/Mariposa Landscapes): Commercial landscape services provider delivering maintenance, water management, and tree care to HOAs and corporate clients across the Western U.S.; directly comparable service portfolio and customer mix to ECLMI, with overlap in Southern California.
• U.S. Lawns: Franchise-based commercial landscape management company serving HOAs, municipalities, and commercial properties across the U.S.; comparable customer segments and service mix, with ECLMI operating as a non-franchise, family-owned equivalent.

Regional players

• Marina Landscape: Southern California-based commercial landscape, water management, and tree care company serving HOAs, municipalities, and developers in the same geography as ECLMI; a direct regional competitor in the Inland Empire / Orange County / San Diego markets.
• Cagwin & Dorward: Northern California commercial landscape and water management firm with full-service maintenance, construction, irrigation, and tree care for HOAs and institutions; comparable service model and California regulatory exposure, but operating in a different regional territory.
