Safety First is a key element in any landscape company. It is imperative that landscape contractors provide training to their crew on a regular basis to keep them safe and help them in understanding the basics of on-the-job injury prevention. Implementing risk management programs is often thought of as too time consuming but – it is the law and it does keep you from experiencing downtime as a company.
This class is designed to give the trainer/supervisor some simple checklists to go over with new employees and as reminders to seasoned employees. We will also discuss the importance of the development of a safety committee.

Proper identification of pests that occur in landscapes/nurseries during the spring along with the proper timing and use of pest management scouting tools is an important part of a landscape contractor’s effort in maintaining the health of a landscape as well as that of the environment and those that live in that environment. This class is one that will help landscapers correlate the problem with the correct method of management. We will also be looking at the different types of scouting tools that can be used to determine the pests and/or pest populations that may occur.

Proper identification of summer weeds along with the proper timing and use of pest management tools is an important part of a landscape contractor’s effort in maintaining the health of a landscape as well as that of the environment and those that live in that environment. This class is one that will help landscapers correlate the problem with the correct method of management. By popular demand we will also look at some of the Ethnobotany involved with many of the weeds to create perspective of why the plants are here. Often times understanding some of a plant’s history and use helps us decide whether to keep it or not.
