Most landscaping companies have core values.
They’re written down. They sound good. But they’re not actually showing up in day-to-day behavior.
In this episode, Katy sits down with Claire Goldman of R&R Landscaping to talk about how they turned their core values into something their team actually uses—every single day.
Together, they unpack how R&R, with the help of Script, built an internal brand called TROAD and what it took to go from eye rolls and skepticism… to full team buy-in.
You’ll learn:
Why most core values don’t stick
What an internal brand actually is (and why it matters)
How to create a shared language your team will use
And how alignment at the team level impacts growth, accountability, and scalability
If your team isn’t fully aligned—or your core values feel more like decoration than direction—this episode will show you what to do instead.

Every landscaping business owner hits the same wall eventually: you can’t be the one designing every backyard and the one running payroll, scheduling, and accountability. Something has to give. At Rossen Landscape, that something was Jason Navon — the CPA-turned-Integrator who spent the last 16 years building the systems behind the design/build company’s magazine-worthy outdoor spaces. In this episode of The Landscaping Growth Script, Katy Doss continues her two-part series on Rossen Landscape with Integrator Jason Navon, picking up where her conversation with owner Jeff Rossen left off.
Most landscaping business owners hit a wall somewhere around $2.5 million in revenue — and what they do next determines whether the company grows past it or stalls out. Jeff Rossen, owner of Rossen Landscape, hit that wall too. For him, it wasn't a marketing problem or a sales problem. It was a systems problem. In this episode of The Landscaping Growth Script, Katy Doss talks with Jeff Rossen, owner of Rossen Landscape — a high-end residential design-build and maintenance company outside Washington, D.C. — about the moment he realized he couldn't run a growing landscaping business by himself, and how implementing EOS (the Entrepreneurial Operating System) changed everything from hiring to client onboarding.
