“When you grow up around the business, you don’t see it as a brand You see it as people you’ve known all your life.”
~ Bruce Moore, Jr.
Most family businesses are about more than profits and operations—they carry both the weight and the privilege of relationships. For Bruce Moore Jr., inheriting the unmatched work ethic of company founder Bruce Moore Sr., came with the responsibility to protect a reputation built on trust, handshakes, and deep community ties.
“My dad didn’t cut corners, and that’s why people trusted him—for decades,” said Bruce Moore, Jr., current CEO and President, whose decision to step into leadership in 2018 felt less like a transition and more like a continuation—one grounded in values and respect earned over time.
As ELM moves into its fiftieth year, growth remains anchored in what has always mattered most: the people it serves, the outdoor environments it cares for, and the role it plays as a long-term business partner. “When you build personal relationships over decades, pride in the quality and consistency of the work becomes non-negotiable—and that pride, and that sense of care, is what shows up in award winning results year after year.”
What Care Looks Like on the Ground
As a full-service commercial landscaping partner, care is built into how the work is done—through disciplined operations, highly trained teams, and systems designed to deliver consistent results.
One partner. One standard. Fewer handoffs. Fewer surprises. For real estate clients in the commercial property space, that means outdoor environments that are safer, more reliable, and easier to manage. Issues are identified early. Seasonal transitions are anticipated. Work is completed without the need for constant oversight.
Strong Teams. Smart Systems. Built for What’s Next
Advanced equipment. Next-generation strategies. Every investment is made with a single goal in mind: delivering measurable, long-term results from highly trained teams.
Managed locally, supported regionally, and certified nationally, ELM combines the responsiveness of a neighbor with the reliability of an award-winning organization. With expertise, reach, and disciplined execution, our team is ready in any season, in any weather—continuing a tradition of personal service that began in 1976.
Successul partnerships—like healthy landscapes—don’t happen by chance. They are planted with care. Nourished by trust. Sustained by shared vision.
Let’s grow what matters – together.
