ATLANTA, GA — April 22, 2026 — Granum today announced the Break Records Tour 2026, a two-day, operator-led workshop series designed for landscape business owners and operators who are done grinding and ready to grow. Running from May through December 2026, the tour will stop in eight cities across North America and is built to help landscapers turn one season into a record-breaker — not by working harder, but by running differently.

“At Granum, we exist to help green-industry businesses build companies they’re proud to run, not jobs they’re stuck inside,” says Mark Sedgley, CEO of Granum. “The Break Records Tour is a natural extension of that mission. We’re putting the operating systems, numbers, and daily habits of top performers in the room with owners who are ready for the next level — no product pitch, no fluff, just the truth about what it takes to grow.”

At the center of the tour are Sam Gembel, founder of Atlas Outdoor, and Brian Fullerton, owner of Brian’s Lawn Maintenance — two of the most trusted operators in the green industry. Together, they’ve built and run high-performing landscape businesses, and the Break Records Tour is their playbook opened up for other owners: the numbers they watch, the systems they rely on, and the daily habits that keep their companies growing year after year.

“Most owners don’t need more motivation — they need a way to connect their pricing, their crews, and their numbers so the business actually works,” says Gembel. “Day One is the operating system I wish I’d had ten years ago. We’re going to get into real margins, real benchmarks, and real decisions so owners can go home and run differently on Monday morning.”

Day One is a main-stage, deep-dive workshop led entirely by Gembel. He spends the day walking owners through the operating framework behind profitable, scalable landscape businesses — the same foundation he built at Atlas Outdoor.

Attendees work through:

By the end of Day One, landscapers leave with a clear view of how top-tier operators run their businesses — and a framework they can start applying as soon as they get home, not a highlight reel that fades on the drive back to the yard.

Day Two is where the theory turns into traction. Fullerton hosts an exclusive, small-group facility tour inside a real, high-performing landscape company. Attendees move through rotating stations led by the actual team that runs the operation every day — from dispatch and routing to estimating, crew management, equipment, and culture.

“For most operators, the missing piece is they’ve never actually walked through a company that runs the way they want theirs to run,” says Fullerton. You see how the yard is set up, how the crews are briefed, how the jobs are scheduled — and you can ask the hard questions you’d never get to ask on a trade show floor.”

As owners walk the yard and see the systems live, Fullerton connects each stop back to Gembel’s frameworks from Day One, so operators understand not just what they’re seeing, but why it works and how to adapt it at home. The tour closes with a working debrief where attendees translate everything they’ve seen into a short, focused action list they can start on Monday morning.

Throughout both days, landscapers are in a room full of peers who are wrestling with the same questions: how to price correctly, how to grow without burning out, how to build a team that stays, and how to step back from every decision without losing control of the operation.

The Break Records Tour will visit eight cities across North America between May and December 2026, with each stop limited to a small number of seats to keep the experience hands-on and conversation-driven. Tickets are $895 per attendee, with a $100 early-bird discount available through April 30, 2026 using the code BREAK100.

Each ticket includes the full two-day program, all meals and refreshments, the Break Records Happy Hour, an exclusive tour tee, and access to the host company’s leadership team during the facility tour.
