Testimonials
Just wanted to let you know that the National Day of Service was a big hit in our company. We are a small company and our employees felt a large sense of pride knowing we were part of our national project that many larger companies were involved with also. Thanks for the opportunity.

What a fabulous, wonderful, “feel good” day! You know, with so much gloom and doom going on around us — what a fabulous way to stop and focus on others, community, and positivity! [We] are so proud to be part of an organization that looks to helping others and spreading “the love”! YEAH PLANET!
— Land Care, Inc., North Las Vegas, NV

When we first read about our national organization’s idea of the “Day of Service,” it was never a question of if we would participate as a PLANET member firm in this activity. The quandary for us was in deciding what would be worthy of this special day for our community and in representing PLANET. Today, with the help of PLANET, there has never been a better opportunity in history for our industry to shine. The PLANET Day of Service is an opportunity to truly give something back to your small part of the world and to those that it will affect.
— Buck and Sons Landscape Services, Inc., Hilliard, OH

The landscape industry is made up of some of the most caring and committed people I have ever met. As long as we are manifesting our commitment to our communities, our industry, and the planet, the PLANET Day of Service cannot fail, not in your backyard or across the country.
