Landscape Management

Landscape Management offers a diverse array of content aimed at fostering growth and advancing our readers' expertise. In 1962, James Nelson identified a chance to provide targeted information for those entering the field of pesticide application in outdoor spaces. As the editor of Pest Control (now known as Pest Management Professional), he initiated the publication of Weeds and Turf. After three years, the magazine was rebranded to Weeds Trees & Turf and retained that title until 1987, when it became Landscape Management. In 1999, the publication shifted focus from a general turf magazine, which included golf and sports turf, to one dedicated entirely to supporting green industry professionals in enhancing their landscape and lawn care businesses. We continue to serve this audience and uphold this mission today.

A growing wave of grassroots legislative action is reshaping the landscape industry as municipalities nationwide implement increasingly stringent regulations on gas-powered equipment. While often framed as noise ordinances, these restrictions are sometimes driven by a desire to eliminate gas-powered tools, with noise complaints serving as the Trojan horse. Now, landscape professionals face the complex challenge of navigating local restrictions while providing clients with quality service.

This month marks my one-year anniversary with Landscape Management. And if you had asked me before my first day on the job to predict where I’d be 12 months into my new journey, I’m pretty sure my answer would have been about as accurate as my picks were for March Madness (translation: not accurate at all). Now, don’t read any negativity or pessimism into that statement.

Spring has finally arrived. The smell of baby back ribs wafting off the smoker on a Saturday afternoon — does it get any better? Actually … it could. As far as the baby back ribs rub, well, it depends on the recipe; we’re willing to try anything. But for some homeowners, a sticking point is why is the smoker sinking into muddy ground? Matt Freedman, president of Beach Landscaping in Myrtle Beach, S.C., says many of his clients are folks traveling south to escape the cold weather up north.
