Eastern Land Management is pleased to announce that Jessica Braz has been promoted to Controller.
In her new role, she will be responsible for the preparation of company financial statements and supervision of accounts payable specialists and accounting staff.
A native of Winnipeg, Canada, Jessica moved to New England to attend the University of Connecticut, where she graduated with a B.S. degree in Corporate and Organizational Studies. When not “crunching numbers”, she says the most important other thing she does is to be a mom to her two girls and, with her husband, invest in their future.
“We enable and empower our employees, like Jessica and others with young families, to manage the demands of the job with the responsibilities of home and community. In this, we hope to continue building an organizational culture that makes work-life balance possible for everyone and makes ELM a great place to work,” added Bruce.
Eastern Land Management provides commercial landscape services throughout Southern Connecticut and the New York metropolitan area.
It is that time of the year. The wind starts to blow and the leaves start to fall. Every fall, many hours are spent making your site look better, but at the same time you are thinking about ways to maintain your property and be sustainable.
Specifications: Working for You and Your Landscape, or … Not?
Find yourself in discussions (or arguments) on how you and landscape services providers “interpret” portions of your spec? Find your site is “settling” for something in-between what you wanted and what the provider bid? When was the last time you updated your landscape maintenance specifications? If it’s been more than four-to-five years – your landscape has been growing and changing, so shouldn’t your spec change too?

Fine weather is here and everyone welcomes the kickoff of summer annual flower season. This is an exciting time of year as the visual and vibrant accent to commercial sites and properties throughout Fairfield and Westchester counties arrives. For many sites, this is the icing on the cake.
What seems to be an instant transformation began in mid-December as our custom growers planted seeds or small cuttings in their greenhouses. ELM works closely with our grower partners on sizes, mixes and combinations and most importantly a fully sized plant with excellent root mass. Once we are out of frost warnings, which came a bit late this year, we begin to prep and groom the beds for flowers. If bulbs are spent, they are pulled out or naturalized into perimeter areas. Rototilling comes next and is perhaps the key overall component which provides for root growth and water transfer. Add some quality fertilizer and everything is in place.
Facility managers and property managers receive a lot of compliments from our flower displays. Employees, tenants, visitors and stakeholders enjoy the colorful accents to site entries, building entries, signage and outdoor areas like patios and plazas. Large containers of color can provide a visible and colorful draw to your main entry.
Often we are asked how we develop the wow factor to our flower displays. It’s the unique blend of the above recipe with our design experience and horticultural knowledge. ELM works closely with our clients to bring a unique blend of color, varying heights, specie mixes and texture highlights. For some commercial properties, it can be simple theme. For other sites, our clients request new and ever-changing displays each year. Either way, quality plants, quality installation and eye catching design…that’s the ELM recipe.
