On November 2-5, 2025, Vice President of the Landscape and Tree Care Group, Drew Garcia, and Partner, Greg Garcia represented Rancho Mesa at the National Association of Landscape Professionals’ (NALP) ELEVATE Conference and Expo in Phoenix, Arizona.
Now in its fourth year as a standalone event, ELEVATE brought together professionals from across the country to share insights, explore new technologies, and discuss trends shaping the landscape industry.
This event served as a valuable opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and innovations that impact Rancho Mesa clients.
“We get a lot of our industry knowledge from the event and we bring that back to our team
and try to make it make sense for how we deliver our product to our customers,” Drew said. “So [attending ELEVATE] is huge for us in terms of just overall knowledge of the industry.”
In addition to attending educational sessions and networking with peers, Rancho Mesa hosted its third annual client cocktail hour, a relaxed evening that allowed industry professionals to connect beyond the conference floor.
“It's something I look forward to every year,” Drew said. “It's such a great time for us to relax, catch up with people … and then allow our clients to meet each other, too. So, another opportunity for networking.”
Through participation in events like ELEVATE, Rancho Mesa continues to further its commitment to supporting the landscape industry with tailored insurance and risk management solutions.
