Landscape Contractor Magazine - January - February 2022

في هذه القضية

In anticipation of a year better than the last two have been, we cranked out a ripping issue to kick off 2022.
First up we have absolutely on-point stories from LCM’s first-rate crew of industry professionals. Andrew Tulloch has been living on the edge with some AEG equipment, proven he’s a sole man with Blundstone’s #984, and cut straight to the chase with EcoTeq’s MEAN GREEN Rival Battery-powered Zero Turn Mower and the Cub Cadet PRO X 648 Stand-On Zero Turn. Meanwhile, Anna Turner’s continued her focus on getting quotes right, offering a few very salient thoughts on pricing up a job in a world where material prices have skyrocketed, and supply chains have crumbled. Naming a price which will still mean a profit on a job’s completion can be a tricky exercise when markets are so unstable, but Anna’s tips should help to considerably reduce the uncertainty of the exercise. John Gabriele, as usual, has come up with some really excellent thoughts and ideas on lighting a landscape. Water is a huge consideration for all Australians, not just those living west of the Great Dividing Range. Marc Worner’s fired in an article with a sprinkling of ideas and thoughts on irrigation, sprinkler systems, pumps, and how those various facets of handling a very precious asset can fit together. In a clever alignment of ideas, Jonathan Garner’s piece on soil amending gives us the dirt on using existing soils for more water-efficient and sustainable landscaping. Professional insight is all very well – and very much a part of LCM – but we have also devoted a little space to the celebration of our chosen industry. Big news for this issue! Landscape Contractor Magazine is now a Sponsor Partner of The Landscape Industries Association of Western Australia (LIAWA) and we look forward to a long and successful partnership
