SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Granum, the company behind LMN and Greenius, together with Weathermatic, a global leader in smart irrigation solutions, today announced a new multi-year strategic partnership designed to elevate contractor performance through aligned leadership, workforce development, and industry-leading education.

Anchored by a shared commitment to empowering landscape companies through people, process, and technology, the partnership brings together two of the industry's most trusted organizations to deliver expanded value, training, and thought leadership to contractors across North America.

"This partnership is about uniting two organizations that care deeply about elevating the industry and giving contractors the tools they need to thrive."
