INDUSTRY ACQUISITION: BRIGHTVIEW EXPANDS AGAIN

BrightView has acquired a leading landscape maintenance company based in the Pacific Northwest.

This marks BrightView’s fifth acquisition this year — as the commercial landscape giant continues to grow its national footprint.

The move strengthens their presence in a key market, serving high-end commercial and municipal clients.

What does it mean for you?

Expect more competition in larger markets… but also more opportunity to partner regionally.

BrightView’s on the move — and they’re not slowing down.

Speaking of moving forward... let’s talk tech.

STIHL LAUNCHES SMART BATTERY MONITORING SYSTEM

In a recent release from Green Industry Pros, STIHL introduced a smart fleet battery tracking platform — tailored for their pro-grade battery tools.

It allows contractors to monitor usage, charge cycles, and maintenance... all through a mobile dashboard.

It’s a big leap in operational efficiency.

Smart, simple, and scalable — just how pros like it.

STIHL’s got brains to match the brawn now.

A win for every contractor trying to stay one charge ahead.

Now let’s switch gears — and dig into what your clients are asking for this season...

TOP TREND: ECO-FIRST LANDSCAPE DESIGN

According to Landscape Management Magazine, the top trend this month is sustainability-driven design.

Homeowners, HOAs, and municipalities are requesting native plants... drip irrigation... and even pollinator corridors.

If you’re not talking sustainability — you might not get the job.

Now’s the time to get fluent in eco-smart installs.

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword anymore... it’s the new blueprint.

And if you want to stay ahead — it’s time to lean in.

Speaking of staying ahead...

Let’s talk about where you’ll want to be this fall.
