Celebrating One Year Injury-Free: Why a Safe Landscaping Company Matters

At Allentuck Landscaping Co., we’re thrilled to announce a significant milestone: 365 days without a single workplace injury! This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to being a safe landscaping company in every aspect of our operations. Since our founding, we’ve prioritized the well-being of our employees and clients, making safety the cornerstone of our business philosophy.

The Importance of Safety in Landscaping

Landscaping might seem like a low-risk profession to some, but it comes with unique challenges. Our team regularly works with sharp tools, heavy machinery, and potentially hazardous chemicals. We also face environmental risks like extreme weather conditions and uneven terrain. These factors make safety protocols crucial in our industry.

A safe landscaping company benefits everyone involved. For our employees, it means a secure work environment where they can focus on their craft without fear of injury. For our clients, it ensures their property is in the hands of professionals who value caution and precision. For our company, it translates to consistent quality service, reduced downtime, and a stellar reputation in the community.

How We Train For Safety

Safety training starts on Day One for all new employees when they receive their Personal Protection Equipment: safety glasses and ear protection. All employees at Allentuck Landscaping Co. are also required to wear work boots and work gloves.

They are also enrolled in MyLandscapeAcademy, an online training platform we created in 2022 to teach the safe and efficient work using equipment and basic landscape processes. The program has over 45 courses in English and Spanish, and we now sell it to other landscape companies to help them better train their employees.

Every Monday brings the Monday Morning Circle, where all team members take part in stretching and safety discussion. It is a great way to start the week and get everyone’s head “in the game”. We also manage to have a little fun and share a few laughs.

One program that we are particularly proud of is Allentuck Achieves, our Crew Leader training program. Each year, up and coming team members may apply to be a part of this intense program which takes place every other Wednesday for two months. In Allentuck Achieves, we not only teach equipment and job site safety, but all the skill an individual needs to learn to be a successful Crew Leader in our company. It is through Allentuck Achieves that we have been able to promote and grow from within.

Benefits of Choosing a Safe Landscaping Company

When you choose a safe landscaping company like Allentuck Landscaping Co., you’re investing in peace of mind. You can rest easy knowing that the team working on your property is well-trained, careful, and equipped with the right protective gear.

Our focus on safety also translates to higher quality work. Employees who feel secure in their work environment are more focused and attentive to detail. They’re able to channel their energy into creating beautiful landscapes rather than worrying about potential hazards.

Moreover, our safety record helps us keep costs down. Fewer accidents mean less downtime, lower insurance premiums, and reduced equipment replacement costs. We’re proud to pass these savings on to our customers, offering competitive pricing without compromising on quality or safety.

How We Achieved One Year Injury-Free

Reaching this milestone required a company-wide effort.

Perhaps the most important thing we have done is cultivating a culture where every employee feels responsible for their own safety and that of their colleagues. Our team members are encouraged to speak up about potential hazards and suggest improvements to our safety practices. As we say every Monday morning, “Take care of our customers, but most importantly, take of of each other and yourselves”.

At Allentuck Landscaping Co., we’re proud of our year without injuries, but we’re not resting on our laurels. We’re committed to maintaining and improving our safety record, ensuring that we remain the safe landscaping company you can trust with your property and our employees’ well-being.
