THE HEART OF LMFS
Landscape Material and Firewood Sales, Inc. (LMFS) is located in West Chicago, IL, and has been conducting business since 1980. Founded by Dave Cooper, who started in the landscaping industry at 15 years old when he formed his first company, D.C. Landscaping, Inc.
Manufacturing dyed and natural mulches continues to be the heartbeat of their operation. Aside from mulches, they supply nearly everything you need to transform your outdoor living spaces, such as Unilock Pavers & Walls, FX Luminaire Landscape Lighting, custom grass seed blends, topsoil, garden mix and more…
POWERING PRODUCTIVITY
A significant advancement for LMFS came in 2012 when they purchased their first Vermeer grinder, the TG5000. “The grinder is the heart of our business,” Dave explains. The acquisition of additional Vermeer equipment, including TG7000 grinders and a TR626 Trommel screen, significantly boosted their productivity and efficiency. Vermeer has been by their side since the beginning of their mass production of bulk mulches and soils.
Alfredo, an on-site operator, plays a crucial role in the daily operations. His proactive approach to planning and maintenance ensures that the Vermeer equipment runs smoothly.
“Working with Vermeer’s service teams is incredibly easy,” Alfredo says. “If we ever encounter an issue, their responsiveness is outstanding. I can always get in touch with Sean or Travis, who troubleshoots over the phone, or arrange for immediate service if needed. Their willingness to prioritize our needs and provide timely assistance keeps our operation running efficiently.” – Alfredo
“Vermeer has always been there for us, and they were known as the gold standard in the tub grinding industry when we first got into it. There is no reason to look anywhere else, the service is great, the equipment is the best of the best, and we love working with Vermeer representatives.” – Austin Cooper
