Case Study: Green Lawn Fertilizing saves 1,750+ hours and modernizes recruiting & onboarding with Paylocity

Green Lawn Fertilizing/Green Pest Solutions Weeds Out 1,750 Hours of Manual Processes with Paylocity

Green Lawn Fertilizing, a 200+ employee lawn care and pest control company in the Mid‑Atlantic, faced an outdated, paper‑based recruiting and onboarding process that took more than six weeks each season and left large margins for error. With more than 15 manual connections and systems that didn’t talk to each other, the HR team needed an integrated, scalable solution and turned to Paylocity to modernize recruiting, onboarding, compliance tracking, and payroll integrations.

Paylocity implemented its all‑in‑one platform—including Recruiting and Onboarding, Learning Management System (LMS), Community/Impressions, and On Demand Payment—automating integrations with providers like Voya, WOTC, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Colonial Life. The change eliminated eight disparate systems, went paperless, enabled automated training and compliance tracking, and freed up over 1,750 hours annually (roughly 1,400 hours from system consolidation plus 200 hours from new‑hire data entry and 150 hours from streamlined benefits integrations), while improving accuracy, engagement, and recruiting competitiveness.
