Professional Turf Management

From hand tools to heavy equipment to drones and digital workflows, the landscape industry has always evolved alongside its tools. This session explores how and why new technologies emerge, when they truly improve our work, and how landscape professionals can adopt them thoughtfully without losing judgment, craft, or the human element of design. Drawing from historical context and real-world experience as a solo designer, this talk focuses on decision-making and how to grow with technology rather than chase it.
