Back in 1986, Weeds, Trees & Turf (the former name of Landscape Management) conducted its first survey of the top 50 landscaping companies in the country. The Brickman Group topped that year’s list, nearly three decades before its 2014 merger with ValleyCrest formed the industry giant BrightView. The industry has grown by leaps and bounds since 1986, when the top 50 landscape companies averaged $4.7 million in revenue.
