Kress Power: Greyson Walldorff, Blake Meahl on the Future of Landscaping Without Gas or Noise

This week on Trades Talk, Justin White sits down with Greyson Walldorff, Founder of Lawn Capital, Blake Meahl, CFO and Maintenance Operations lead at Garden View Landscape, and Todd Zimmerman and Meg Butterley from Kress. Together, they break down the electric and robotics revolution in landscaping; not as a future trend, but as a current shift that’s already changing how top operators work. They share firsthand insights from adopting electric fleets, deploying autonomous mowers, navigating turf legislation, and dealing with team pushback. Whether you’re in a regulated state or not, the message is clear: those who adapt early will own the next chapter of this industry. Grayson shares how Lawn Capital went 90% electric across urban Atlanta, including trucks, handhelds, and mowers Blake explains how California’s turf legislation and noise regulations are forcing operators to rethink equipment investment and operational models Todd introduces the Voyager: Kress’s fully autonomous ZTR designed for weekly route work, with cost savings and crew efficiency in mind Meg discusses the shift from theory to execution and how Kress is partnering with progressive companies to modernize their fleets Justin challenges owners to pick a lane: become the Netflix of your market or risk becoming Blockbuster This episode is a crash course in how forward-thinking companies are using electrification and automation to cut costs, retain talent, and win bids. All while staying ahead of regulation and market pressure.
