Not to sure on the Top 10, but I know a while back Brickman was the top company...it would be my guess that they are still on top. I have papers from about five years ago that showed there income. Ill have to dig it out and share that info with ya later on today if I can find it in the office.

One you get Lawn & Landscape you;ll start getting other free mags as well (Irrigation & Erosion, Compact Equipment, Turf, Landscape Management, ect.). The mags are paid for by advertisers so there is no useful equipment information in the mags.

This is based on 2007 revenue from L & L (cant find the current list, sorry) so things may have changed a bit given the recent economic turmoils.

I should also mention, that is the North American top 10. Obviously, Canadian based Weed Man gets most of its revenue from Canada. They have an increasing market share in the US but continues to get most of its revenue is north of the border.

Right now its me. Gross 200 million a week, and use push mowers!
Around here Lawn O Green ( Lawn O Joke) has a big market share, but are loosing clients at a rapid rate. The other big dog around here closed up shop after being turned into INS for illegals.
