TRAFFIC ON THE TURF

BROUGHT TO YOU BY TOWA TOOLS

(Weekly Segment – Turf’s Up Radio)

Hey pros — this is your weekly Traffic on the Turf report, brought to you by Towa Tools — built for pros who don’t stop moving.

Let’s take a quick spin around what’s happening in the field this week:

🚧 EQUIPMENT BACKLOGS SLOWING SOME CREWS

Still waiting on that new mower or battery trimmer? You’re not alone.

Several dealers across the Southeast are reporting shipping delays on key parts and machines — especially for ride-ons and commercial-grade battery tools.

If you’re expanding or replacing equipment this summer, order early… and keep your backups in rotation.

💼 EMPLOYEE TURNOVER ON THE RISE IN MID-SEASON

Contractors from coast to coast are reporting a mid-summer slump in staffing.

Burnout, heat stress, and the pull of "easier" jobs are driving up turnover.

If you haven’t already, now’s the time to offer a mid-season bonus, a few cold perks — and a reminder of why your team matters.

📍ALL EYES ON ORLANDO

The buzz is already building for The Landscape Show, coming this September.

Vendors, manufacturers, and educators are locking in spots — and Turf’s Up Radio will be broadcasting live from the floor.

Make sure you're there, or tuned in, for the latest tools, plants, and tech heading into fall.

This Traffic on the Turf segment is powered by Towa Tools — the choice of pros who want precision, durability, and battery-powered performance that lasts all day.

Towa Tools… built to work.
