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.

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.

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.
