Turf Doctor Attends Lawn Care Industry’s LM Growth Summit
Turf Doctor Attends Lawn Care Industry’s LM Growth Summit
Melvindale, MI — From Dec. 8-10, 2025 — Turf Doctor leaders took a big step to fortify their technical and business savvy by attending the 13th Growth Summit hosted by Landscape Management (LM) magazine. LM is a Cleveland, Ohio-based trade publication that has served the landscape and lawn care industry since 1987. The magazine is one of seven brands owned by North Coast Media
The LM Growth Summit is an exclusive, buyer-seller networking event complete with one-on-one meetings, educational sessions and professional networking.
“We host this event annually to bring together lawn care business leaders with leading industry manufacturers and service providers to help everyone achieve shared goals and increase success,” says LM Editor-in-Chief Scott Hollister. “All of the partners and attendees have told us they have come away with new ideas to implement at their businesses and with their teams.”
Company owner, Bradley Brennan, agrees. “It was a very nice experience. I've never been to something structured like that, where the vendors paid for our trip in exchange for dedicated meetings with us. Learning from the sales reps was great, but I got the bulk of what we learned from another lawn fert company owner who has been in the business for 50-ish years. He's on the other side of the state and the team and I are going to visit him next week to check out his operations. His number 1 thing that he kept repeating was that efficiency was everything. He would say profit = efficiency = density. He knew I was trying to soak up as much as I could so he started to nudge me and say, "Write this down" when he knew he was about to say something I could learn from. This industry is great - just about everyone, whether they're a direct competitor or not, is willing to help. We share advice and best practices with local ‘competitors’ who are literally in the same cities we are in. And all of that will ultimately benefit the customer.”, he says
LM is currently taking applications to attend the 2025 Summit. Learn more and register.
