LandCare announces Brandon De Young as the newly appointed
Northwest Divisional Vice President and welcomes William Cruz to lead the northern California
business.
De Young joined LandCare in 2019 as the Market Vice President of the NorCal region
overseeing Sacramento and the Bay Area. Under his guidance, the region experienced rapid
growth, facilitating a need for new branch operations within the market, and expanded job
opportunities. De Young graduated with a bachelor’s degree in landscape management from
California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo. He began his career with a national
landscape company in San Diego, and later relocated to the Bay Area, before joining LandCare
in 2019. As the Northwest Divisional Vice President, De Young will provide leadership to
LandCare’s Washington, Oregon, and Northern California businesses.
“Brandon has been a rising star since joining the LandCare team,” said Mark Hopkins,
LandCare’s Chief Operating Officer. “His knack for expanding business and nurturing talent
within his market has been exceptional. This promotion is not only well-deserved but also an
exciting new addition for LandCare.”
LandCare brings William Cruz to lead the Sacramento and Bay Area branches as the
NorCal Market Vice President. A proven leader with 25 years of industry experience, Cruz holds
a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering from UCA University, El Salvador, and multiple
landscape certifications, including CLP and QAL. Cruz joins LandCare after 19 years with his
previous organization, where he served in several roles, spending the last five years as Director
of Operations. In this role, he concentrated on the development of team members, growth and
branch operations within the Bay Area.
“LandCare’s culture puts its team members first,” said William Cruz. “I’m looking
forward to building and mentoring successful teams that truly care about providing exceptional
service to every customer.”
