Light Up Their Nights

Strategies to add professional lighting that delights your clients

By Tim Ryan
  Clients demand landscapes that appeal to the eyes. But curb appeal, as vital as it is in growing our landscape businesses, is just one of the benefits that our services can provide to our customers. Increasingly, they're also seeking landscapes that improve the security and safety of their properties, and also services and products that extend the use of their private outdoor areas. In short, they want landscapes that improve the livability of their properties.
  Beautiful night lighting is one of the most obvious and often most neglected property enhancement services ... (Read More...)

BUNKER MENTALITY: Digging In

More golf courses are thinking renovations. Also, superintendents present their thought processes behind presentation and playability

By Patrick White and Larry Aylward
  From 2009 through about 2011, bunker renovation projects were everybody's favorite projects to postpone," says Bob McCormick, general agent for Klingstone, which distributes a patented a spray-on polyurethane bunker lining product.
  During that financial free fall, which included the Great Recession, many courses had to make decisions about which areas to focus on.
  "If you lose six of your greens due to disease, then you have to spend the money to fix them," McCormick notes. "But if people are complaining about your bunkers in that economic environment, ... (Read More...)

Dealing with Drought

Tools and techniques to help your fields handle summer heat and drought stress

By Stacie Zinn Roberts
  On a hot summer day, not long ago, a baseball player stood poised in the batter's box. From the pitcher's mound, a ball hurled toward the batter. With a crack of the bat, the young ballplayer ran as hard as he could, arms pumping, legs a blur, toward first base. There was a breeze that day, and as the ballplayer's foot hit the bag a swirl of dust enveloped him. Did he reach the base before he was tagged out? It's hard to say. The cloud was thick. No one could tell.
  At least that's the scenario painted by Eric Blanton, manager of turf and grounds for the Reno Aces AAA ... (Read More...)

At the Top of Your Game

Whether you're a veteran climber or just starting out, there's always room for improvement

By Tony Tresselt
  In the fast-paced, ever-evolving world of production tree care, improving one's climbing skills can come in a variety of forms. Often climbers assume that they must always use the newest gear, tool or technique to stay current in the industry. This often leads to a pile of unused, expensive gear that seemed like just the thing at the time, but now awaits resale.
  This is not to say that new gear and innovation are not a great way to advance and become a better climber. Certainly they play a role and can be invaluable in the improvement of safety and productivity. However, ... (Read More...)

Green Rising

Green roofs and walls will rise 70% over the next five years.

By Nicole Wisniewski
  If one wants to know the latest trend in exterior building design, one only needs to look up. Once dark, hot places lacking color, interest or attention, building roofs and walls have become fresh canvases on which landscape architects and designers can create living masterpieces.
  Even popular companies like Facebook and Google have jumped on the bandwagon, shedding their blacktops in favor of verdant, vibrant green.
  Not only does landscaping up enhance a building's aesthetics, but these spaces are proving to play significant roles in naturally cooling ... (Read More...)

Robotic Milking on the Rise

By Tina Wright
  If you had missed the New York Farm Show in Syracuse, N.Y., for a few years, you might have suspected time travel upon viewing the number of robotic milking demonstrations in 2013. The Lely brand Astronaut series of robotic milking systems has dominated upstate New York with a Sputnik-like lead, but other dairy equipment companies are blasting off their own automatic milking systems. DeLaval and BouMatic robotic milking machines have also been in orbit for a while. In North America, Insentec is selling a robotic system called Galaxy Astrea, and GEA Farm Technologies has just launched ... (Read More...)

Produce Tracking Slow in Coming

By Curt Harler
  It's been five years since the Produce Traceability Initiative (PTI) got started, and it will likely be another two or three years before it is widespread in the produce industry. The initiative, kicked off in 2008, promises to move the produce supply chain to a common standard for electronic produce traceability- tracking vegetables and fruit from farm to market, down to the individual case level.
  While there has been much hype about the initiative, and its benefits to the industry as a whole seem obvious, there's still some question as to when it will actually happen. ... (Read More...)

What It Takes to Win

Landscape awards give you more than a plaque and a sense of pride. A win provides an exceptional marketing tool that can launch your company far ahead of the competition.

By Sally Benson
  They must be doing something right.
  Outdoor Craftsmen, a residential design/build firm located in Boulder County, Colorado, was established by Scott Deemer a little more than eight years ago. But in that relatively short span of time, the company has received 23 awards in the Excellence in Landscape Awards program sponsored by the Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado (ALCC). In the most recent program - projects submitted in 2012 and awards granted earlier this year - the company was honored six times, four of which were Grand Awards.
