“Zech and his team have always amazed me in that there is nothing too big or too small to try for the purpose of continuing to find A Better Way.” Jim Paluch, President, JP Horizons
Zech Strauser started Strauser Nature's Helpers in 1998 while coaching mogul skiing in Vermont at the age of 20. Starting with a push mower he bought from a golf course and cutting 2-feet tall grass at bank-owned homes, he would split the profits with whichever friend he had convinced to drive him to a site that day. Twenty years later his team of 20-50 people, depending on the season, passionately serve as Strauser Nature’s Helper.
Rooted in environmentally-responsible lessons learned from generations of Pennsylvania farmers, Strauser’s green thumb sensibility is grounded in their passion for nature, respect for the seasons, and commitment to seek a better way to care for what grows.
Commercial Landscape Maintenance and Snow Management are the core services offered by Strauser and the majority of their business is with commercial properties, homeowners associations, apartments, resorts / hotels, and government sites. Serving three regions in Eastern Pennsylvania--the Poconos, Lancaster and Lehigh Valley--the company is focused on establishing each region as stand-alone branches over the next few years.
The Strauser systems and processes revolve around what they call A Better Way Performance Program which is established to deliver a better return on investment for clients and value driven personal service with attention to the health and safety of the environment. At Strauser, being Nature’s Helper also means being a steward of the greater business community that drives economic growth and, above all, being an advocate for high quality public and private green spaces as fundamental to profitability and a better way to live, work and play.
Some of the environmentally friendly practices Strauser Nature’s Helpers uses seek to do the following:
Zech Strauser and his team have been actively engaged in Come Alive Outside since its foundation 8 years ago. Come Alive Outside is 501c3 nonprofit founded in 2014 that works closely with partners in healthcare, public health, outdoor recreation and the landscape profession in order to get people off the couch and back outside in communities across North America! As a board member of this nonprofit for the last 4 years, Zech knows the vision of his company and the mission of the Come Alive Outside nonprofit are in perfect alignment.

My experience at Michael Hatcher and Associates for Face to Face in 2017 was fantastic. JP Horizons did an awesome job making the day fun with learning and sharing. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of that. I look forward to unpacking my notes and pulling out all the info I can - as well as attending more events next year.
