Strauser Honored to Present at the 2025 Jeffrey Scott Summer Growth Summit

The 2025 Jeffrey Scott Summer Growth Summit brought together more than 300 landscaping and snow industry professionals for three days of learning, collaboration and inspiration. Hosted by Schill Grounds Management in partnership with Jeffrey Scott Consulting, Inc., the Summit has become one of the most respected events for business leaders across the country.

Strauser Nature’s Helpers was proud to take part in this year’s Summit and contribute to the conversations shaping the future of the industry.

Strauser’s Representation

We were excited to have industry veteran Dave Leff represent Strauser at this year’s Summit. Dave presented on the importance of coaching and leadership — a topic that reflects the values at the heart of Strauser. His session emphasized how cultivating strong leaders at every level builds healthier teams, drives better results and creates lasting value for clients.

Being asked to share this perspective at a national event was an honor and recognition of the work Strauser’s people do every day. It also demonstrated the respect our organization has earned as a trusted voice in the industry.

Standing With Our Partners

The Summit featured 17 presentations spanning account management, design-build, business development, maintenance operations, snow services and more.

Strauser was proud to stand alongside partners and like-minded peers such as Andrews, TLC, BAM, Enviroscapes, Gelderman, Elevations and Pinnacle. Together, this network of companies showed how sharing knowledge strengthens the profession while maintaining the individuality that makes each business unique.

Why This Opportunity Matters

For Strauser, being part of the Jeffrey Scott Summer Growth Summit reinforced our belief that leadership in this industry is about more than providing services — it’s about helping to raise the bar.

Events like this highlight the importance of:

• Developing people first through strong coaching and mentorship.
• Sharing knowledge so that best practices spread across the industry.
• Working collaboratively to push standards higher.

Looking Ahead

Strauser is grateful for the opportunity to be represented at the Summit and to learn from so many peers. We are committed to continuing the conversation and bringing these lessons back to the teams and clients we serve every day.
