Summary

In this episode of the Fullerton Unfiltered Podcast, I’m joined by Tommy Cole to unpack the heart behind the Leanscaper movement. It’s more than just a buzzword — being a Leanscaper is about building a smarter, more connected landscaping community that shares ideas, supports one another, and drives the industry forward.

We also dive into the exciting role of Leanscaper AI, the innovative tools that are helping contractors streamline operations, bid smarter, and make data-driven decisions. Tommy shares how this technology is reshaping the way landscapers approach everything from job costing to team management — and how it’s empowering owners at every stage of their journey.

If you’ve ever wondered what it means to be part of the Leanscaper community and how AI fits into the future of our industry, this episode will give you a clear picture and a ton of inspiration.
