About Jud Griggs, Landscape Design/Build Sales and Marketing Consultant

Jud has had the good fortune of working with some of the best Design/Build companies in the country over his long career in the Green Industry. Starting with Lied’s in Wisconsin, Jud worked with Tom Lied, one of the founding members of ALCA (Now NALP). Then Jud moved to Naples, Florida to manage the operations of Smallwood Landscape; one of the preeminent design/build companies in Florida. From there, Jud joined Lambert’s in Dallas to work with Paul Fields to manage operations and then lead the company’s Sales and Marketing efforts. Each of these companies were in the lawn and landscape Top 100 list when Jud worked there.

Through those experiences, Jud has been able to work in remarkably diverse markets across the country. He understands what it takes to be successful in the Design/Build arena. More importantly, he knows what mistakes and pitfalls to avoid. Jud served as President of ALCA (now NALP) in 1997. That experience taught Jud how to lead a diverse organization of business owners to attain many successes.
