Landscape Workshop, LLC, Launches Employee Shared Prosperity Program
Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 23, 2026 — Landscape Workshop, a full-service grounds management company, announced today the launch of its Shared Prosperity Plan, a broad-based incentive plan providing full-time employees an opportunity to share in the Company’s growth and financial success.
Landscape Workshop announced the program to employees at its General Managers’ Summit and all-Company meetings in Homewood, Alabama, on February 18, 2026.
“The single most important part of Landscape Workshop’s success to date has been our Performance Culture, where we expect and reward high performance from our team members,” said J.T. Price, CEO of Landscape Workshop. “The Shared Prosperity Program is a new level of commitment driving the rewards of ownership to our entire team. If we all perform, we can all win together.”
The new employee ownership program reinforces Landscape Workshop’s vision of becoming the most professional, trustworthy, and profitable commercial landscape company in the United States. The program is intended to align all employees around a shared set of values and goals and share the company’s financial successes with those who drive its performance.
“We’re excited to partner with Landscape Workshop to establish the Shared Prosperity Plan, reflecting our belief in broad-based ownership and long-term alignment,” said Natasha Li and Mike Nawrot, Ares Private Equity. “By expanding shared ownership across the organization, we’re recognizing the people behind Landscape Workshop’s success and reinforcing a culture built on pride, accountability, and shared purpose.”
The program was developed in partnership with Ownership Works, a nonprofit that helps companies and investors launch broad-based employee ownership programs that can unlock new levels of success for businesses and help employees build savings and wealth.
