“As lithium-ion cells near the end of their life cycle, you may notice your battery might hit its voltage cutoff right before you finish mowing. A couple years after that, you might only mow three-quarters of the job. This capacity decrease over time is natural,” says Jason Wilk, senior product manager for Echo USA. 

This is a factor of the battery’s total charge and discharge cycles, Wilk says, not a factor of time. And we’re talking about a lot of cycles. 

“We’re in the thousands of cycles, not just the hundreds of cycles,” said Zafir Farooque, director of product management for Milwaukee Tool. “There’s been a lot of advancement in lithium-ion cell technology in the past decade even. We are significantly improving battery life.” 

Still, batteries fade and eventually perish, so LM spoke with Wilk and Farooque to learn how you can extend battery life and then dispose of them properly upon their passing. 

Cool it

“I like the pet analogy,” Farooque says. “And if you brought your pet to a jobsite or a construction site, you’d find a lot of hazards to manage for your pet in that environment.”

Heat is the No. 1 enemy, he says. “Heat kills everything, from batteries to electronics to motors. The less heat you can generate, the more runtime you’ll get. And the longer life you’ll get from a battery.”

The heat generation in a battery will vary from one piece of equipment to the next. “Hedge clippers are like the poster children for battery equipment,” Echo’s Wilk says. “They don’t take a lot of power. It’s not a high demand for a battery pack, so the temperature stays cooler. 

“But a leaf blower is the opposite. It pulls a tremendous amount of power; the battery can discharge its power quickly and can build heat more quickly.” So battery life will vary depending on your mix of equipment use. 

With increased charge and discharge cycles, a battery that just runs in a leaf blower would have a shorter effective life than a hedge trimmer battery. While they’re designed to work in that heat, you can help protect them by avoiding heat during storage, like hot enclosed trailers. 

For charging, most modern batteries and chargers communicate with each other. If the battery is over a certain temperature when you place it on a charger, that charger will wait until the temp comes down. They can also cool a battery to safe levels before completing the charge cycle for use in the tool. It’s about airflow over the battery’s cells. 

Users need to stay aware of possible overheating conditions in a battery. And many batteries will communicate that condition. For Echo, that’s a steady red light on the battery’s display. For Milwaukee, “it’s four lights blinking simultaneously to let you know, ‘hey, you pushed it a little too hard,’” says Farooque. 

Handle with care

“These batteries include some pretty sophisticated electronics,” Wilk says. They can take some abuse, but they do have sensitive circuitry inside. “Keep the terminals clean and check them for corrosion,” he adds. “Don’t toss them into your truck bed. For storage, protect the terminals from contact with items that could cause a short.” 

Farooque says it’s wise to do visual inspections regularly. “Look for cracks in a battery housing. Check for dirt on the terminals or possible water ingress. We expect our users to use battery equipment in the same manner as their gas tools and hand tools. Those things get abused a lot, and so our testing is designed to withstand that. But it’s good to check.” 

At the end, the rainbow bridge for your batteries is recycling. Echo, Milwaukee and pretty much every major manufacturer pays a fee upfront so you can recycle their batteries for free at thousands of approved drop-off sites across the country, from Lowe’s to your local small engine repair shop. Check BatteryNetwork.org/locator to find the one closest to you.

Ignite Attachments is expanding its lineup with new land levelers designed to meet those essentials. Available for mini and full-size skid-steer loaders, the lineup combines practical, productivity-focused design with strong performance, according to the company. Visitors can see the new land levelers, along with Ignite’s portfolio of landscape solutions, at Equip Exposition. 

“At Ignite, we’re focused on building attachments that solve real challenges for our customers,” said Darin Gronwold, product manager for Ignite Attachments. “The new land levelers are a great example of that approach. They deliver the features landscape professionals need while expanding a lineup that helps them tackle more jobs with confidence, regardless of the equipment they’re running.” 

The expanded lineup includes a 78-inch land leveler for site preparation and finish grading. Standard ripper shanks loosen compacted soil, and laser-cut screens separate rocks and debris or break up soil clumps for a smoother finished surface. An optional hydraulic scarifier kit lets operators engage or disengage the ripper shanks from the cab, helping to improve efficiency by eliminating unnecessary stops. 

The lineup also includes a 48-inch land leveler for mini skid-steer loaders. It shares the same design as its larger counterpart and is suited for residential landscaping, hardscape installation and other jobs where compact equipment excels. 

Integrated bucket brackets allow operators to transport a bucket and land leveler at the same time, reducing trips across the jobsite.

“Every design decision starts with one question: How can we make this job easier for the operator?” Gronwold said. “Sometimes that means improving durability through rigorous testing, precision manufacturing and quality materials. Other times it’s a simple feature like the integrated bucket brackets that saves an extra trip across the jobsite. Those practical details are what define the Ignite approach.” 

The new land levelers are one part of Ignite’s growing for landscape professionals. At booth 4041, Equip Exposition visitors can explore attachments and implements for mini and full-size skid-steer loaders and compact tractors, including solutions for grading, site preparation, material handling and land management.

“Together, we’ve stepped away from our day-to-day work to share ideas, tackle emerging challenges and better prepare for the opportunities ahead,” Herndon said during the Opening General Session. “After seeing the impact of our advocacy, outreach and collaboration over the past year, we’re also celebrating what our members and industry partners have accomplished.”

Cleveland shared his appreciation for the more than 400 members who volunteer their time on RISE efforts and committees.

“2026 has been a year of impact due to our work together as RISE. Whatever your level of engagement, each of us is our industry where we are creating inspiring and healthy places to live, work and play,” said Cleveland in the Closing General Session.

Keynote speaker Nicholas Webb, CEO of LeaderLogic and a best-selling author, shared a message about innovation, artificial intelligence and what’s next. One of Webb’s key takeaways: In the age of AI, we must strive to deliver human-first experiences.

Webb was followed by industry leaders who provided insight on “Drone Technology in the Specialty Pesticide Industry” with panelists Nandita Chowdhury, Clarke; Sarah Hovinga, Bayer; Kamron Newberry, AmericanHort; and Kelley Wittenberg, a drone technology expert.

The panel discussed drone use and how legislation and regulations will help or hinder drone advancement. One key takeaway was that drone innovation is here. RISE member companies must strategically prepare for their adoption while collaborating with policymakers and regulators to ensure the industry has a clear path to operate in this evolving space.

The Closing General Session on day two featured the following panels and presentations:

• “Keeping it Real: Sharpen Your Strategic Thinking with the Insights Professionals Are Seeing in the Data” was moderated by Karen Readon, RISE vice president of public affairs, with panelists Charlie Arnot, Center for Food Integrity; William Stewart, Povaddo; and Colby Vogt, Covo.
• “A Federal Policy Landscape: Now and in the Future” panel with Laurie Flanagan, DCLRS and Mike Gruber, Household and Commercial Products Association.

New this year was a two-day Strategy Summit each afternoon that replaced the RISE committee meetings. As the association completes its current five-year strategic plan, the Strategy Summit provided inspiration, insight and data to help create the associations 2027-2031 plan, according to RISE.

Jon Gaeta, RISE senior director, government affairs, moderated two panels during session one of the Strategy Summit:

• “Wins/Trends/Forecasts: Priority Issues Overview” with panelists Karen Reardon, RISE, and Edward Thomas, deputy general counsel RISE and CLA.
• “Wins/Trends/Forecasts: State Stars’ Insights” with RISE lobbying counsel in Colorado Sundari Kraft; John Campbell, Southern Crop Production Association; Chuck Lippstreu, Michigan Agribusiness Association; and David Ramirez, RISE lobbyist in Illinois.
• “The Role of Key Messages in Advocacy” was presented by McGavock Edwards and Ure Loop, Eckel and Vaughn Strategic Communications.

During session two of the Strategy Summit, panel discussions included:

• “Federal Issues Recap: Wins/Trends/Forecasts” by RISE Executive Director Scott Herndon.
• “Regulatory Outlook Through the Business Lens” was moderated by Kristen Spotz with panelists Karen Larson, Clarke, and Mark Schneid, Envu.
• “Grassroots Engagement Primer” with Pres Davenport and Tori Ludwig, Eckel and Vaughn.

Elected to the RISE Governing Board and serving as the 2026-2028 Executive Committee are chair Blaine Pinkerton, Nufarm; Brent Stauffacher, vice chair, Corteva Agriscience; and Mark Schneid, treasurer, Envu. Members cycling off the board and recognized for their service were Shayne Wetherall, Amguard and John Johnson, Prokoz.

Several awards were given during the annual meeting. The E. Allen James Leadership Award was presented to David Crow, founder/senior advisor, DC Legislative and Regulatory Services, the association’s long-time lobbyist. RISE’s first president Allen James (1992-2010) hired Crow as the association’s first federal lobbyist.

“David has played an integral role in the growth of the RISE organization and in the professionalism and effectiveness of federal advocacy in the White House, Congress, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Defense and across federal agencies,” said Herndon. “His relationships on both sides of the aisle on Capitol Hill have delivered successes and diminished negative outcomes for the industry throughout his tenure. His insights and strategies have guided the association’s federal work for more than three decades — work that epitomizes the spirit of the E. Allen James Leadership Award.”

The RISE Grassroots award was renamed to the David T. Crow Excellence in Grassroots Award and given to Sundari Kraft, Ascent Strategies and members of the Colorado Pesticide Applicators Coalition, who were instrumental in defeating adverse state legislation this session.

The Strategic Driver Award was presented to Stephanie Binns, BASF, chair of the RISE Regulatory Affairs Committee for providing steady, results-oriented leadership during a pivotal period for pesticides. Herndon said she helped shape and coordinate industry alignment, particularly in preparation for the reauthorization of PRIA 6.

The partnership adds new regional leadership, several hundred employees and three branch operations across the Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston metros. It also more than doubles the scale of Visterra’s South region.

Visterra’s partnership with Richmond, in combination with its existing Texas operations, expands Visterra’s commercial landscape services footprint for property and facility managers across the state.

Founded more than 30 years ago by Jimmy Richmond, Richmond & Associates has grown into a commercial landscape servies provider in Texas. Under his leadership, Richmond has transformed early client referrals in the 1990s into long-tenured client relationships across the region. Today, Richmond delivers landscape maintenance, enhancement, installation and irrigation services to multifamily, HOA, municipal, custom and large residential, industrial and commercial real-estate clients.

Founder Jimmy Richmond, CFO Chaun Sherman, director of maintenance Jose Acosta and all Richmond teammates will remain with the business and assume expanded roles across Visterra’s South region.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jimmy, Chaun, Jose and the entire Richmond team to the Visterra family,” said Alan T. Handley, president and CEO of Visterra Landscape Group. “Richmond epitomizes the world-class organizations we seek to partner with — those defined by entrepreneurial leadership, a best-in-class culture of operational excellence and safety, premier customer relationships earned through decades of exceptional service and teams whose members have chosen to build their careers together. Texas remains one of the most dynamic commercial landscaping markets in the country, and we are confident that our partnership with Richmond will be transformative for our organization. Together, we are now positioned to be the provider of choice across every major Texas market and commercial real estate vertical.”

“Everything we have accomplished over the past 30 years is a reflection of our people and the customers who have trusted us year after year,” said Jimmy Richmond. “What has always set this company apart is the continuity of our team and the accountability we hold ourselves to on every property, every day. When we considered what came next, our priority was finding a partner who would protect and accelerate what we built — our culture, our standards and the relationships that took decades to earn — while opening doors we could not open on our own. When we met with Visterra we found that we were aligned across all the key areas we were looking for in our next chapter: cultural alignment, a genuine commitment to the people doing the work, a track-record of accelerating growth and the entrepreneurial spirit that has fueled us since inception. With this new partnership, I am energized by what our team will accomplish across Texas in the years ahead.”

The partnership supports Visterra’s initiatives focused on growing across high-growth Sunbelt markets, enhancing operational efficiency through scale, unlocking career pathways for employees across all regions and delivering a one-stop solution for commercial landscape customers nationwide.

Geiser brings more than 30 years of business ownership experience and co-owns Fox Lake Property Services, a landscaping company he has operated since 2011. His background also includes tree services, agriculture and farming, providing experience to serve customers throughout the green industry.

As Geiser explored growth opportunities, he was looking for a business that complemented the work he already enjoyed while providing the systems and support needed to scale. He chose SpringGreen, citing the company’s people, values, focus on profitability and his experience during the discovery process as factors in his decision.

“I chose SpringGreen because of the values and the people,” said Geiser. “Being in the landscaping industry already, I wanted something that complemented the business I’ve built. From Discovery Day through the entire process, I was impressed by the team and felt confident this was the right opportunity.”

Geiser plans to expand the lawn care, tree care and pest control services throughout the Canton market while maintaining a customer-first approach. His long-term goal is to grow operations and build multiple service routes throughout the territory.

“Mark’s extensive experience in the green industry and his commitment to serving customers make him an excellent addition to the SpringGreen network,” said Brad Johnson, president of SpringGreen. “We’re excited to support him as he grows the business and introduces SpringGreen’s services to customers throughout the Canton area.”

RootControl started because local lawn care businesses struggled with messy spreadsheets, paper tickets and separate apps. Instead of making them use a generic tool, the creators built custom software that matches real daily work, from quotes in the yard to fast invoices. 

“We didn’t set out to build a company. We set out to help people we care about run better businesses,” said Chris Hill, co-founder and CIO. “Everything we’ve built came from sitting down with real landscape operators who are friends, family and solving the problems costing them time and money. Every screen came from standing in somebody’s driveway while they wrote an estimate on a clipboard,” said Patrick Hill, co-founder and CPO. “Opening it up to the rest of the industry was the natural next step.” 

RootControl is made for the middle of this market. It fits solo owners and growing multi-crew teams who must choose between weak basic tools or heavy enterprise software.

Root Control is an independent, founder-funded platform built in Columbus, Ohio, by four veterans and tech experts from the Cleveland area. Instead of outside venture capital, the team used their own money to turn internal tools into a public product.

The founders

• Kevin Bumgarner (CEO): Former U.S. Marine; shapes workflows using his background in operations, logistics and distribution.
• Joe Kubinski (CFO): U.S. Air Force veteran and software engineer; builds the core database and scalable systems.
• Chris Hill (CIO): IT consultant with 15 years of experience helping businesses solve complex technology challenges.
• Patrick Hill (CPO): Product leader and software engineer; turns hard workflows into easy tools.

“Being small is our advantage, not a limitation,” said Hill. “When a customer calls, they reach the people who built the software. We’ve supported landscape businesses for years, and we’re focused on the locally and family-owned operators who are the backbone of this industry. Our job is to keep building tools that help them grow.”

The National Advisory Council serves as an important voice within the SpringGreen system. Council members represent regions across the country and bring the perspective of experienced business owners who have built strong teams, scalable operations and meaningful local market presence.

Over the course of the two-day meeting, attendees discussed business performance, service line growth, marketing strategy, technology, customer experience and long-term planning. The conversations reflected both the opportunities ahead and the importance of continuing to evolve in a changing marketplace.

Technology and innovation were key themes throughout the meeting, including discussion around website enhancements, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled tools, business intelligence and future digital capabilities designed to support smarter decision-making and a stronger customer journey. Participants also exchanged insight from their local markets and shared practical perspectives that can help strengthen the organization as a whole.

“No one understands the opportunities and challenges facing our business better than the owners who have built some of the strongest organizations in our network,” said Brad Johnson, president of SpringGreen. “The National Advisory Council helps ensure those perspectives remain part of the conversations shaping our future.”

The ceremony joined together company officials and local and state representatives.

“Kansas is home to a highly skilled workforce and robust manufacturing industry, and the continued investments in our state from global businesses are a testament to that,” said U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.). “Kubota’s expansion at Great Plains will bring more skilled jobs to Salina and reinforce Kansas as a hub for equipment innovation. I’m pleased by Kubota’s decision to grow its presence in Kansas, and I look forward to the positive impact that this expansion will have for our economy and the local community.”

“Our expansion here in the Midwest is about better serving our dealers and customers across the country. By increasing output of America’s No. 1-selling compact track loader from our Kansas operations, we’re strengthening our ability to meet customer demand faster and more efficiently. This is how we are investing in American infrastructure and in the future of our company, by bringing manufacturing facilities closer to the people who depend on Kubota equipment every day. It reinforces our leadership position and our commitment to the communities we serve,” said Todd Stucke, president, Kubota North America.

Earlier this year, Kubota North America announced the Salina groundbreaking of a new compact construction equipment test center specifically for North American equipment design and engineering. Once complete, the facility will enable rigorous performance, durability and reliability testing that replicates real-world construction applications to meet the expectations of professional operators and fleet customers.

The company’s recent expansion projects are strategically synergistic as it grows the Salina-based GPM footprint into a construction equipment hub. Development of construction machinery attachments began in 2016, followed by the establishment of the Construction Equipment Research and Development North America (CERDNA) facility in 2021. Kubota has announced major construction equipment infrastructure investments in Salina totaling more than $300 million in recent years.

“This newly expanded production line at Great Plains in Salina represents the best of Kubota manufacturing processes, utilizing skilled craftsmanship, operational excellence and precision engineering,” said Brian Arnold, general Manager of North America Manufacturing Unit. “Our Kansas-based team takes pride in providing equipment that’s trusted by our customers across the country, and this expansion allows us to advance our capabilities and deliver the quality and consistency our customers expect. When we strengthen our operations here in North America, we’re positioning Kubota for sustained growth and market leadership for years to come.”
