History & Mission
Landscape Management shares a comprehensive mix of content designed to stimulate growth and take our readers to their next level.
In 1962, James Nelson recognized an opportunity to publish specialized information for those in the new field of applying pesticides to outdoor environments. As editor of Pest Control (now Pest Management Professional), Nelson launched Weeds and Turf. Three years later, the magazine made a name change to Weeds Trees & Turf and carried that title until 1987, when the named changed to Landscape Management. In 1999, the magazine expanded from a general turf book, covering golf and sports turf, to one focused solely on helping green industry professionals grow their landscape and lawn care businesses. We serve this same audience, and purpose, today.
Landscape Management magazine is a publication of North Coast Media, LLC. owned and operated by Kevin Stoltman, President & CEO.
