Before you buy another truck, mower, or skid steer for 2027, ask one question:

Does it actually fit the work you’re planning to sell?

This week’s bonus episode of The GROW! Show is all about building a smarter equipment plan for next year.

Marty walks through how to look at what you already own, what keeps breaking down, what makes sense to rent, and where a new piece of equipment could actually save labor and make the team more productive.

Because sometimes the smartest equipment move isn’t buying something new. It’s getting rid of what no longer serves the business.

We’re gearing up for GROW! 2027, and this week’s episode gives you a preview of who you’ll be learning from in Savannah.

Marty sits down with Rob and Jessie Shrieve of Coastal Shores Landscape, our GROW! 2027 hosts, to talk about what it really takes to grow from a small operation into a company that can run without the owner knowing every detail.

They get into:
→ Building a strong team and culture
→ Letting go without losing control
→ Creating clear roles as you grow
→ Finding root causes instead of fixing every problem yourself

And in February, we’re taking it even further with a full tour of Coastal Shores Landscape.

👀 What would another owner spot in your landscaping business in the first 15 minutes?

In this week's Great Idea, we share the story of the CEO Swap, where two landscape business owners traded companies for three days to uncover blind spots and see their businesses through a different lens.

What they found wasn't complicated, it started with fresh eyes, honest feedback, and one simple question:

"Why do you do it that way?"

Because real growth starts when someone is willing to challenge your thinking and hold you accountable to change.

If you're looking for that kind of perspective, join us at ACE Discovery and surround yourself with owners who aren't afraid to ask the tough questions.

We’re in the final quarter of 2026, and this is when your 2027 plan needs to get real.

That’s why we’re dropping bonus episodes of The GROW! Show to help you make smarter decisions now, before the new year starts.

In this episode, Vince breaks down how to build a financial plan you can actually execute:
→ Set a realistic revenue target
→ Plan the right service mix
→ Match sales goals with production capacity
→ Account for margins, overhead, profit, and cash flow

Because “hope is not a strategy.”

👀There are only two chances left to see GLC in action this year.

If you run a landscape company and you’ve been thinking about coming to a Field Trip, now’s the time.

Join us in Dayton for 26 hours and get a behind-the-scenes look at how we actually run the business. See how the property is set up, how crews move through the day, how sales hands work off to production, and how we approach productivity, leadership, and the numbers.

You’ll see the systems in action, ask questions, and leave with practical ideas you can bring back to your own company.

Two dates left in 2026:
October 14–15
December 9–10

If it’s been on your list, make this the year you come see it for yourself.

🌱 Before you finalize your 2027 plan, ask your team and clients three questions: What should we start doing, stop doing, and keep doing?

Your team can only tell you what they see from the inside. The blind spots surface when other business owners look at your operation with fresh eyes, and that's exactly what your ACE Peer Group is for.

Now is the time to listen.

→ Invite honest, specific feedback.
→ Look for patterns across the answers.
→ Pay attention to the uncomfortable truths.
→ Act before your 2027 goals are set.

That's what ACE Peer Groups are built for: honest feedback, meaningful accountability, and action that moves the business forward.

A 3,000-hour landscape project gets overwhelming fast when you try to manage all 3,000 hours at once.

Break it into phases. Plan ahead. Make sure your crews know what’s next before they ever reach the jobsite.

That’s what a good production meeting should do.

This week on The Grow Show, Marty Grunder and Bill Rosell break down how GLC uses weekly production meetings to:

→ Keep crews, equipment, and schedules aligned
→ Spot problems before they hit the field
→ Look 2 to 4 weeks ahead
→ Give the team clarity without wasting time in meetings

The goal is simple: make production run better.

One cool Monday after a hot summer sent homeowners into their yards and new leads into our inbox.

No new campaign launched. They already knew who to call.

That familiarity was built through consistent visibility:
→ Branded trucks driving through our communities every day
→ Community radio spots that keep the Grunder name familiar

When demand picks up, strong brands do not have to scramble for attention. The phone rings because they have been building awareness all year.

The groundwork for 2027 starts now.

This week’s Great Idea breaks down where to focus your marketing energy heading into next year. Link in bio.
