The Back Story...

SynkedUP was born out of Tussey Landscaping, a $6 million + design build firm in Pennsylvania. Tussey Landscaping has been in business for over 30 years, and is well respected in the landscape industry as a model of successful systems and processes, strong team and culture, created by the solid leadership of Tussey’s owners, Steve and Matt Martin. 

This backdrop is what fueled the creation of SynkedUP as an app for contractors, and the methods and best practices we at SynkedUP teach those that use our software.

The first Contractor Summit was an event at Tussey Landscaping in 2020 just as we were launching the SynkedUP app. It was inspired as an idea when Tussey was getting Instagram DMs all the time from other contractors asking to come visit, observe, and learn from their operation.

And now, this event has morphed into the SynkedUP Contractor Summit – an annual event to host contractors from all over North America for a few days for networking with others who are in the grind of business just like you are, education, and inspiration. We’ll pull back the wraps, and do a business spotlight on our host’s operation, and do sessions on systems and process that have helped contractors grow and be profitable.

Join us! Let’s have a good time rubbing shoulders with others in the industry, and going home with a solid vision for what it’s going to take to take your business to the next level.

Thank you for making this event possible!

Super excited for the wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and experience that our event partners bring
