The 2012 Beautification Awards are well underway and over 80 submitted landscape projects have been assessed for recognition
and award. Winners will be announced at the Beautification Awards banquet to be held Saturday, July 28, at Mission Viejo Country Club at 26200 Country Club Dr., Mission Viejo.
Join us at 6 p.m. for networking, cocktails at the no-host bar and a delicious variety of appetizers. Following networking, we’ll be sitting for a three course dinner complete with salad (organic baby lettuces with poached forelli pears, fourme d’ambert croutons and pomegranate vinaigrette) your entrée of choice (herb marinated breast of chicken, artichoke gnocchi with a tomato-caper relish or grilled beef tenderloin, blue cheese potato gratin with a madeira shallot reduction) and finished with a fruit tart to satiate your sweet tooth. Vegetarian and gluten free menu choices are also available. The awards presentation will take place following the meal.
Framed by Southwest California’s natural beauty, Mission Viejo Country Club is a prominent gated sanctuary ideally situated between Saddleback Mountain and the pristine beaches of Laguna. The Club carries forth the old California tradition of privacy and elegance with its old world arches, Andalusian architecture and stunning vistas covering over 165 acres of breathtaking landscape; the perfect complement to our Beautification Awards gala.
Your business would do well with recognition for your hard, quality work. By attending the Beautification Awards banquet, the opportunity for success is prospecting! Attending the banquet not only gives you the opportunity to find out if your project will be recognized, but leaves a lasting impression on your customers and colleagues. Inviting your customers, designers and staff is a great way to showcase your work, thank them for their loyalty, and have some fun!

Do you ever have a day when you hear a complaint from your customer about your
service or company that sounds really familiar to a complaint that you’ve heard from a different customer in the past? As they’re telling you what they’re not happy with, a small voice inside of your head can almost replay
the other voices you’ve heard who have said almost the same thing to you at a different time and place. Why is this problem surfacing again? Why is it that, in doing the work of landscaping day after day, this same complaint is being expressed?
There is a saying that goes, “Problems we experience show us exactly where our opportunities are.”
Chances are the complaint is an indication of where your business is stuck and would explain why the size of your business or company revenue has not grown. The only way to get unstuck is to look closely at all of the contributing factors that created the situation that caused your client to complain. Begin by asking yourself, “What can I do differently? How can I change in order to lead these contributing factors in a way to operate differently so that this same problematic situation does not repeat itself?”
Over my life of 45 years, I have been involved with numerous entrepreneurial endeavors, reaching across a few different industries. As a very young person, I fell in love with the “American Dream.” I interpreted this dream to mean that anyone who is a citizen of the USA, regardless of race, creed, gender or economic status, has the same freedom and opportunity before them to learn, grow, achieve and hopefully succeed in pursuing any type of professional they choose.
Falling in love with the American Dream has taken me on a long journey of understanding why some businesses fail… why some work… why some people can sell… why others can’t… why good intentions are not good enough… of understanding what fear feels like… of what conquering fear feels like… of how human choices and attitudes can cause ripple effects that can devastate an organization… and most importantly, knowing the difference between being an “indian” and a “chief” and how to listen and take advice from both. This journey also taught me that overcoming obstacles in business simultaneously involved overcoming obstacles within myself.
The fact is… the one common thread within all of our problems is ourselves! (Ouch!... This is so hard to internalize, yet imperative to our own transformation.) Every time you see something that is a big problem in your life; stop and ask yourself, “What is it that I need to grow to see this particular problem as ‘easy to deal with’?” It is so important NOT to focus attention on the problem, but to focus the attention on yourself in seeking your own solution. Facing change feels uncomfortable, but I have learned that when I don’t quit, don’t bail out, don’t ignore it, don’t avoid it, and choose to grow my capacity to handle the problem, solutions are found. Being comfortable is what will kill your business. Run into taking action on things that are uncomfortable. Run
into taking actions toward trying new systems and methods of doing business that you may not be familiar with. Don’t worry, you’ll pick up on it and you will learn.
Have you ever heard landscape workers, executives or fellow business owners talk about problem areas that they have dealt with in the past, and thought to yourself, “I’m so glad that I don’t have to go through any of that anymore?” What is the difference now? The answer is: you have grown. Common problems in landscape businesses will always exist, but how you think about them, and take action to move past them, will determine the extent to which your business grows.
We can all think about what changes we want to make toward becoming more successful in our landscape contracting practice. We can even be extremely well intentioned, kind and good; however, we will not experience physical change until we cross over from the mental to the physical and take real action. Business owners, executives and managers in every industry experience fear. Successful people take action in the face of fear, doubt, worry, discomfort and inconvenience.
Last month, members of the OC Beautification Awards committee spent time making phone calls to our members to ensure everyone had an opportunity to participate in the Beautification Awards competition. I took this opportunity to not only talk to them about the upcoming competition, but to also discuss Chapter activities and to see why they are not attending meetings. Of the members who I connected with on the phone, a couple of the common statements I heard were, “I really need to get to those meetings,” and “I have just been so busy.” I have found that being busy is the never-ending “hamster wheel of activity;” it can become a brainless activity when revenues are stagnant and routine sets in. Yes, things need to get done. However, you have more power than you know to take the time to grow yourself as a professional for the good of your company and our industry.
I dare you to get uncomfortable for your own good! I dare you to change! I dare you to take a real swing at growing. I dare you to play full out! The marketplace is changing… how people buy is changing… how we do business is changing.
The industry is throwing us a “change-up.” Do you recognize it? If you don’t recognize it, you need more tools in your business toolbox (you’ll find this is in the space between in your ears). You should hire a business coach to help you.
Outside of passing your landscape contractors test – what proves to your clients that you are an ever developing and achieving contractor in the landscape industry? It’s CLCA. It is the CLCA logo on your website and marketing materials. It’s CLCA that provides the framework for skills building and validates your talent to your clients.

Water W

As a professional landscape con-tractor, you already know that irrigation systems need regular
maintenance to keep them working efficiently. In honor of Smart Irrigation Month, an industry campaign to increase public awareness of the value of water-use efficiency, we’ve listed some tips below as a refresher for you and your clients.
• Inspect your system monthly. Check for leaks, broken or clogged sprinkler heads, and other problems. Clean clogged screens and microirrigation filters as needed.
• Adjust sprinkler heads. Remove or correct obstructions that prevent sprinklers from distributing water evenly. Adjust sprinkler head positions and spray patterns to avoid watering sidewalks or structures and to provide
necessary clearance over growing plants.
• Check the pressure. Pressure can change over time and negatively affect system efficiency.
• Inspect the system for leaks. Leaks are a huge water waster. Perform regular maintenance checks for leaks, broken or clogged spray heads, and other problems. • Install a rain shutoff switch. These inexpensive sensors can be retrofitted to almost any system and help compensate for natural rainfall by turning off your system in rainy weather.
• Consider “smart” technology. Climate or soil moisture sensor-based controllers evaluate weather or soil moisture conditions and then automatically adjust the irrigation schedule to meet the specific needs of your landscape.
• Consider low volume, microirrigation for gardens, trees and shrubs. Drip (or trickle)
irrigation, micro-spray jets, micro-sprinklers and bubbler irrigation all apply a very small amount of water, slowly and precisely, minimizing evaporation, runoff and overspray.
• Have your system audited. Hire a professional to conduct an irrigation audit and uniformity test to verify areas are being watered evenly and appropriately, and make necessary adjustments.
• Look for savings. Many water utilities offer rebates for certain water-efficient products. Before upgrading your new system, consult with your local water provider.
• Winterize in colder climates. An irrigation contractor with specialized equipment will flush out water that could freeze and crack pipes, valves and sprinklers.
Smart Irrigation Month is an initiative of the Irrigation Association, a non-profit industry organization dedicated to promoting efficient irrigation. Learn more at www.smartirrigationmonth.org.
Maintain and Upgrade Your Irrigation System
It’s expensive enough to strategize, market, get leads, and bring new customers in through the door of your business… but then you have to pay out again and again
just to keep them coming back! How DO you turn a profit these days with all the endless costs involved?
The truth is that a solid customer retention program does NOT have to cost an arm and a leg to maintain. Think for a moment about WHY a customer will stay with a company for the long-term. The answer lies in consistency and ease of doing business. Once you nail consistent service and smoothness of transaction, a variety of retention or VIP programs are easy and inexpensive to set up.
Consider these ideas:• Frequent buyer programs. Add a discount or special offer to capture and hold repeat buyers. The more they shop, the better the deal and you get on-going and repeat revenue. And sometimes, just providing a VIP notification and recognition is all that is needed.• Preferential treatment. If you are a B2B, or B2C business, an extra service or offer is attractive to a client.• Individual approach to clientele. Example: a doggie-day-care facility knew that one of their new clients loved University of Southern California so they decorated the dog’s “suite” in USC gear. Here the cost is very little, but the goodwill of making that client feel special and appreciated will last a long time. • Create memories. Think of ways to create a memory for your customer that will keep you above the fold and foremost in his or her mind when it is time to shop again.
• Look for feedback. Offer surveys and take opinions, both negative and positive. It will only better help you to customize your retention programs.• Develop an email personality and keep in regular contact. There is no reason an email ad, shipping notification, or sale flyer has to sound like a robot produced it. Make it personal and snappy. “We’re SO happy to have you shop with us today!” or “Your fabulous new piece is on its way to your door right now, you’re going to love it!!” Regular contact also keeps you top of mind.• Plan a win-back program. If you do lose a great customer, have a plan for getting them back ready-to-go. Do NOT let them forget you and your great service!
Keep in mind that you may sometimes have to sacrifice a customer that just does not fit in with your overall business ideal or plan…moving customers on is a great strategy for those high maintenance customers that just don’t fit your way of doing business. And that reduces your cost and lets you focus on your best customers!!! A key component to excellent customer retention is in the management of your customer’s expectations, and do aim to deliver above what is generally expected with consistency. That is what a great client retention program is all about - and all without breaking the bank!

At last month’s meeting, I showcased several new drought tolerant plants for the California landscape and even sent several attendees home with these
plants to try in their own projects. A few of the plants highlighted at the meeting included:
Hesperaloe parviflora Brakelights® PP21729This dwarf 2’ x 2’ selection with blue green foliage took 13 years to perfect! With six months of dark true red flowers and non-pokey foliage, this plant is perfect for pots, narrow planters or a massing effect.
Tecoma x Solar Flare® and Crimson Flare®
The first two introductions from a Tecoma breeding program
aimed at unique colors and compact habits. Solar Flare® is a compact orange to 4’ x 4’ that blooms from May-October nonstop! Crimson Flare® is a red selection with a strong upright habit to 8’ x 5’ and large clusters of flowers June-October.
Lonicera americana Pam’s PinkAn evergreen shrub form honeysuckle growing to 6’ x 6.’ Large clusters of dark pinkish-red and cream colored flowers cover the plant in spring, then off and on throughout the summer/fall. This selection has superb resistance to powdery mildew and black spot.
For more information about Mountain States Wholesale Nursery or the plants they offer, please visit the nursery’s website at www.mswn.com or contact Wendy direct by emailing [email protected] or calling (626) 274-1956.
