About Us

WE DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL CARE

Nussbaum Group has been constructing and organically maintaining the most exceptional landscapes in the Pacific Northwest for more than 15 years. To do this, we created the kind of company that we would want to work with—a company focused on collaboration, quality, and success.

 

Nussbaum Group transitioned to 100% employee ownership through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (‘ESOP’) in 2024 as a way to solidify the company’s ongoing commitment to employees and the communities it serves.

Employee ownership institutionalizes our deeply rooted company values and empowers employees to contribute even more to our continued growth and long-term success. As Washington State’s first ESOP in 2024, we hope to serve as a model for others who advocate business in service to the greater good.

 

Our Approach

At Nussbaum Group, we took proactive steps to make projects successful by developing an operational process called The Nussbaum Way. This process is fueled by our passion to make every project run smoothly and every exceptional landscape thrive.

 

 

 

 

The Nussbaum Way is a proven, proactive, operational process that delivers a seamless, highly successful project experience.
Every landscape. Every client. Every day.

And while we do not design landscapes, we do everything else necessary to build and maintain the most exceptional landscapes in the Pacific Northwest.

Together we can do great things but it takes a great framework to be successful. Only The Nussbaum Way project management system makes that possible.

What makes our process succeed?

  • WE ALL SUCCEED WHEN WE ARE INVOLVED EARLY
    We bring the ideas, experience, and expertise to achieve exceptional results from the start of a project process.
  • WE BAT FOR THE TEAM
    We work with the entire team to ensure the project benefits beyond any individual member.
  • WE HANDLE IT ALL WELL
    We build and maintain anything outside the building to allow one source of responsibility and accountability.
  • WE REDUCE DRAMA
    We take proactive steps and provide thoughtful solutions to reduce drama today and in the future.

“CLEAR THAT THE CUSTOMER/CLIENT CAME FIRST”

“Over 18 months, Dale and his company, Nussbaum Group, worked diligently, and sometimes feverishly, to meet and sometimes exceed our expectations. Whether it was a new idea, or meticulously sticking to the original design plan, Dale and his crews were both incredibly flexible and diligent. It was clear that the customer/client came first.”

“A TRUE PROJECT PARTNER”

“Nussbaum Group has elevated the role of landscape contractor to that of a true project partner.  Their commitment to quality, timely communication, and professionalism is unmatched in this industry, and their involvement always reflects well on those who bring them to the table.”  

- Jason Morse, RLA , AHBL -

“ADVANCED SMOOTHLY FROM START TO FINISH”

“Capturing the true essence of AHBL’s design, Nussbaum Group’s workmanship was superb, the materials were carefully selected and the Mercer Island Residence advanced smoothly from start to finish. The Nussbaum Group brings an organic and natural sensibility to every distinct project that they build. Not only is their work thoughtful and creative, but the collaborative and team work ethic the Nussbaum Group brings to the process ensures a quality product and a satisfied Owner.”

“PRIDE IN BEING ACCOUNTABLE”

“In a culture that currently loves to abuse the words “transparency and accountability”, Nussbaum Group is the antithesis of that hollow abuse; they take pride in being accountable and I have never seen them move away from an issue. They move toward it in an effort to resolve. They do what they say they are going to do. They have made my work better for their involvement.”
