What Are The Benefits Of Communication Across The Design + Build + Maintain Sectors?
Nick Cutsumpas, Owner and “Plantrepreneur” Farmer Nick, Los Angeles, California
You need to have that communication [between sectors] otherwise it just won’t work. For example [considering the water restrictions for future maintenance], there are so many options that can replace turf in a client’s front garden. If I can show them something that is equally as cool and sexy, as it is functional, then there is a good chance that the clients will do it.
Eric Berg, Principal for Pacific Coast Land Design, Ventura, California
We try to find maintenance companies that will maintain things for the way they were designed. I can write a maintenance plan for a project, but it often feels like the crew doesn’t even read it. We are looking for companies that can adapt to our uniquely designed and built projects.
Jason Kron, Director of Sales for Midwest Region for ColdSpring USA, Cold Spring, Minnesota
The best way to keep natural stone looking great for many years to come is to choose the best stone that is right for the site, conditions and application. Design with the end in mind.
