Clarence Davids & Co. celebrates 60 years

The Chicagoland-area company has grown from one truck to a diverse landscape and management firm.

In 1951, Clarence Davids Sr. started a landscape company with one truck and the simple goal of providing top-quality workmanship with cost-effective service. He set a precedent with his pioneering approach to landscape maintenance, earning him the title of “Father of Landscape Management.”

Clarence Davids & Co. has continued to grow in the tradition set before it under the current leadership of Bill Davids. It has since evolved into a full-service company offering landscape design, installation, and management services throughout the Chicagoland area with headquarters in Matteson, and branch offices in Plainfield and Ingleside, Ill.
 
Clarence Davids & Co. strives to build team partnerships with clients. In doing so, it emphasizes the value and strength of those relationships. The “team building” concept allows the company to collaborate with clients in achieving the ultimate goal of providing customized quality landscape services in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The company offers landscape development and management services. By providing a broad range of services, it greatly attributes company growth to referrals from satisfied customers.

Developing a diversified client base has also been a key factor to the company’s continued growth. Working with commercial, residential, multi-family, industrial, and institutional properties has allowed Clarence Davids & Co. to stay competitive and stable throughout the years.

Another reason for its longevity is dedicated employees. Its experienced sales and creative design teams are degreed and have been a part of Clarence Davids & Co. for a combined average of 20-plus years. Its team is focused on client satisfaction and by maintaining dedicated, qualified employees, who are pleased to go the extra mile to earn that satisfaction.

“That Clarence Davids & Co. has such high profile clients is a testament to our emphasis on quality,” said Bill Davids, president.

Clarence Davids & Co. has received more than 250 state and national awards for excellence in landscape design, maintenance and construction over the years.

“Our clients hire us because we are ethical, we do what we say we’re going to do or exceed it, and we stand behind our work. People know us for the quality of our work,” said Davids.

The company looks forward to the new relationships and continued partnerships the next 60 years will bring.
