How we keep both sides of your business staffed
Denizen provides H-2B and H-2A visa legal services for landscaping and nursery companies, coordinating both programs as one plan so spring starts fully staffed.
Landscaping runs on the spring-to-fall calendar, and the H-2B lottery can leave you short right when commercial contracts start. If you also grow your own plants, a separate program can staff that side with no cap at all. The real problem is not finding workers. It is coordinating both programs, keeping crews returning, and building long-term stability.

Both sides, fully staffed
We coordinate H-2B for your landscaping crews and H-2A for nursery and greenhouse work as one plan, so plants are ready when crews need them and neither side sits short.

Audit-ready across every site
Landscaping carries some of the highest audit exposure of any H-2B industry. Every worksite goes on your certification, and we keep SOC codes, wage records, I-9s within three days of hire, and the 75 percent hours guarantee documented and ready for a DOL review.

Green cards for your best foremen
Your foremen and supervisors run crews on temporary visas with a three-year limit. We move them toward EB-3 green cards through PERM, so the people who know your clients and your equipment stay.

The signature move
Two cap-exempt channels, stacked
If you run winter snow removal, we file those H-2B positions with an October start date. By spring, those crews are already authorized and never enter the spring lottery. If you grow your own plants, the nursery or greenhouse side qualifies for H-2A, which has no cap and no lottery at all.
Coordinated together, these two channels can secure a large share of your spring crew before the lottery even runs.

Minnesota landscaping and nursery: from lottery roulette to a full spring
Minnesota landscaping and nursery: from lottery roulette to a full spring
A family landscaping company had filed H-2B for six years with no larger strategy. One season the lottery returned zero approved workers, and the owner had to call signed commercial clients and tell them delivery was uncertain.
They also grew their own plants in a greenhouse that had qualified for H-2A the entire time and was never used. We filed H-2A for the greenhouse crew, who arrive in March, and we added a winter snow-removal H-2B group with an October start to secure more workers before the spring lottery. The same crews now return every year, and the business bids commercial contracts with confidence.
