Greenzie declares winners for this year's Best of Greenzie Awards

Greenzie has announced its third annual Best of Greenzie Awards, recognizing commercial landscape operators who are turning autonomous mowing into a business tool.

The awards recognize organizations that use autonomy consistently in live commercial environments. “What stands out about this year’s winners is the consistency of their performance,” says Greenzie co-founder and CEO Charles Brian Quinn. “They’re integrating autonomous mowing into day-to-day operations and seeing clear improvements in reliability and output. They are demonstrating that the industry is ready to move from experimentation to sustained autonomous operations.”

The awards use performance data to recognize operators for consistent autonomous mowing across key metrics like mowing days, acreage covered and sustained performance, reflecting autonomy in active commercial service, not pilot or trial use.

This year’s Best Overall Performance awards recognize standout organizations setting the standard for autonomous mowing across diverse categories. Those winners include:

• Landscaper – Yellowstone Landscape, headquartered in Bunnell, Florida
  
• College and university – Georgia Southern University
  
• New customer – Colonial Hills Landscaping, Inc. of Fayetteville, Arkansas
  

In addition to winning Best Landscaper, Yellowstone Landscape, which ranks No. 4 on Lawn & Landscape's Top 100 list, earned top honors across multiple performance categories. In one Yellowstone market, a single mower within Yellowstone’s autonomous fleet set a new record with 58 consecutive autonomous mowing days and logged 161 autonomous mowing days in a single season. In other Yellowstone markets, autonomous mowing productivity reached 1,032 autonomous acres covered in a single season in one market and 1,164 total acres maintained in a year in another. 

“This technology is about giving crews better tools, not eliminating the human factor,” Quinn says. “Autonomy helps teams stay productive, reduces pressure on workers and allows businesses to keep up despite labor shortages. These award winners show how autonomy can be scaled responsibly in ways that support workers and strengthen operations.”
