Ep 126. The Permaloc Playbook: From Steel to Aluminum

In this episode of the Green Side Up Podcast, Jason Lee and co-host Jordan Upcavage sit down with Mark Cohen of <a href= "https://permaloc.com/">Permaloc</a> to explore how aluminum edging has reshaped the landscape and hardscape industry. Mark shares the origin story of Permaloc, founded by landscape architect Daniel Zwier as the pioneer of aluminum landscape edging, and explains why aluminum's strength-to-weight ratio, sustainability, and longevity make it a superior alternative to steel and plastic. The conversation digs into spec-driven selling, how educating landscape architects fuels national distribution, and the role of trade shows, ASLA/CSLA partnerships, and student events like Labash and NCLC in influencing the next generation of professionals. Jason and Jordan add real-world contractor perspective—contrasting plastic and concrete edging with aluminum, discussing paver restraint practices in Florida, and talking through evolving applications like resin-bound aggregate and tree ring surfacing. Along the way, Mark highlights iconic projects featuring Permaloc, from the Lady Diana Memorial Fountain to major civic and cultural sites, illustrating how a "niche" product quietly defines and protects some of the most recognizable landscapes in the world.

Ep 125. Family Business to Destination Company: Jeffrey Scott on Building Better Landscape Firms

In this episode of the Greenside Up Podcast, Jason and Jordan sit down in Tampa with renowned green-industry consultant Jeffrey Scott to unpack his journey from family pool-and-landscape business to leading coach, peer-group facilitator, and host of The Ultimate Landscape CEO. Jeffrey shares stories from growing up in his grandfather's pioneering gunite pool company, scaling a high-margin service division, and navigating the challenges of a crowded family business before launching his consulting practice. The conversation dives into the power of peer groups, why charging for estimates transformed Jordan's tree service, and how setting higher standards for employees and clients creates a "Destination Company." The trio also explores Lean management in practical, jobsite terms—from tool placement to shop organization—plus real-world challenges around sales slumps, weather, hurricanes, and cash flow, and how business owners can respond with better marketing, business development, and strategic experiments. They wrap with a look at mergers and acquisitions reshaping the landscape industry, the upcoming Summer Growth Summit in Detroit, and Jeffrey's framework for helping owners fix, scale, or exit their companies. 🌱 Connect with Jeffrey Scott Consulting 🌐 Website: <a class="decorated-link" href="http://www.jeffreyscott.biz" target="_new" rel="noopener" data-start="60" data-end= "80">www.jeffreyscott.biz</a> 📲 Instagram: @jeffreymarkscott ☀️ Summer Growth Summit <a class="decorated-link" href= "https://jeffreyscott.biz/summer-growth-summit-26/" target="_new" rel="noopener" data-start="147" data-end= "196">https://jeffreyscott.biz/summer-growth-summit-26/</a> 🎟️ Summer Growth Summit Discount Code / Registration Link: <a href= "https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1983544708619/?discount=GreenSideUpPodcast"> www.eventbrite.com/e/1983544708619/?discount=GreenSideUpPodcast</a> Connect with Jason and Jordan: 🌐 <a class="" href="https://greensideuppodcast.com/" target= "_new" rel="noopener" data-start="174" data-end="237">Green Side Up Podcast Website</a> 📧 Email: <a class="cursor-pointer" rel="noopener" data-start= "250" data-end= "317">greensideuppodcast@gmail.com</a> 📘 Facebook: Green Side Up 📸 <a class="" href= "https://www.instagram.com/greensideuppodcast/" target="_new" rel= "noopener" data-start="354" data-end="435" data-is-only-node= "">@greensideuppodcast on Instagram</a> 📸 <a class="" href= "https://www.instagram.com/skyfroglandscape/" target="_new" rel= "noopener" data-start="441" data-end="518">@skyfroglandscape on Instagram</a> Visit Our Businesses: 🌿 <a class="" href="https://www.skyfroglandscape.com/" target= "_new" rel="noopener" data-start="553" data-end="606">SkyFrog Landscape</a> 🌳 <a class="" href="https://www.indepenttreeservice.com/" target="_new" rel="noopener" data-start="612" data-end= "675">Independent Tree Service</a> Save with SingleOps: 💸 Mention Green Side Up or use this link to get $500 off your SingleOps subscription: 👉 <a class="" href= "https://referral.singleops.com/l/JORDANUPCA68/" target="_new" rel= "noopener" data-start="802" data-end="874">Get $500 Off SingleOps</a> Sponsors & Partners: 👉 <a class= "decorated-link" href="https://mitogrowpro.com/" target="_new" rel= "noopener" data-start="107" data-end="151">MitoGrow 🌱</a> 🎥 <a class="cursor-pointer" href="https://intriguemedia.com/" target="_new" rel="noopener" data-start="906" data-end= "978">Intrigue Media on Instagram</a> (@imintriguemedia) 📍 <a href="https://gstrackme.com/en/">GS TrackMe</a> Podcast Produced by: 🎧 <a class="" href="https://www.instagram.com/mrproducerusa/" target="_new" rel="noopener" data-start="1047" data-end="1103">Mr. Producer</a> (@mrproducerusa)

Ep 124. Big Bids, Busy Seasons: Navigating Growth in the Green Industry

In this episode, Jason and Jordan catch up on a busy season in the landscape business, comparing lead flow, close rates, and what's really driving sales in different markets. They swap stories about big opportunities—including a major 5,600-foot roadway bid in Kissimmee and a high-profile renovation at Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Gainesville—and break down how they think about strategic bidding for profitable commercial work. Along the way, Jordan spotlights his wife's children's book "Looking for Bunny Flies," now available on major platforms, and the two reflect on the challenge of growing a landscape company while staying smart about risk, equipment investment, and market positioning.
