<p><strong>LOCATION:</strong> Old Westbury, N.Y.</p>
<p><strong>COMPANY: <a href="https://www.goldbergandrodler.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goldberg and Rodler</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>DETAILS:</strong> It’s more than a dream house; it’s a dream home, and that’s exactly what Goldberg and Rodler set out to do with their award-winning “Hilltop Chateau” project on New York’s Long Island.</p>
<p>However, making that dream a reality for the clients and their family wasn’t easy, says Ashley Haugsjaa, the company’s design office manager and landscape designer. The property hadn’t seen much work since the ‘70s, meaning plant/tree health was poor and the house needed to be completely torn down and redone. Not to mention the whole property is on a hill multiple stories above street level.</p>
<p>Working closely with the architects and clients, Goldberg and Rodler designed a <strong><a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/category/hardscape-solutions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new landscape</a></strong> that better took advantage of the hill the house sat on and added several new family-friendly features.</p>
<p>“What is important to the family is being able to go around the property and enjoy it,” Haugsjaa says. “You can enjoy nature in your own yard, and that was big for them.”</p>
<p>One of the main features was a basement garage on the new house, meaning roughly 1,000 yards of soil had to be cut out to make room for the garage and new parking court.</p>
<p>This also meant that the architecture could extend into the landscape, resulting in a pulled-out staircase leading to the front door, retaining walls that help with the house’s foundation, hill gradient and aesthetics, among other features.</p>
<p>Goldberg and Rodler won a gold award from the 2024 <strong><a href="https://www.landscapeprofessionals.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Association of Landscape Professionals’</a> <a href="https://www.landscapeprofessionals.org/LP/lp/awards/awards_of_excellence.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Awards of Excellence</a></strong> program for this project.</p>

Business Boosters: How to utilize irrigation audits

urn:uuid:afec2406-eae9-2809-7e26-acf0b81dac6eWed, 05 Mar 2025 17:53:36 +0000<p>Irrigation audits offer a means for clients to save water and money while creating a valuable revenue stream for landscape contractors.</p>
<p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/business-boosters-super-savers/">Business Boosters: How to utilize irrigation audits</a> first appeared on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net">Landscape Management</a>.</p></p>
<p>Irrigation audits offer a powerful solution for commercial and residential properties plagued by escalating water bills.</p>
<p>Although golf courses and athletic fields have utilized irrigation audits for decades, commercial and residential clients may be unaware of their significant water-saving potential. Industry experts confirm that these irrigation system audits can identify problems leading to a 25 to 30 percent reduction in water use, resulting in substantial savings for clients — potentially thousands of dollars and gallons each year.</p>
<p>Landscape contractors who offer irrigation audits as a service for their clients stand to gain significantly, too, with the resulting service and repair work frequently generating profit margins of around 30 percent.</p>
<p>“Essentially, an irrigation audit is the process an irrigation technician must go through to solve a particular problem … that is overusing or inefficiently using water,” says Mark A. Ballenger Sr., a <strong><a href="https://www.irrigation.org/clia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditor (CLIA)</a> </strong>and a St. Petersburgh, <a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/tag/florida/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Fla.</strong></a>-based irrigation consultant. Before focusing solely on landscape irrigation, Ballenger owned a local landscape maintenance and lawn care company.</p>
<p>“You want an efficient irrigation system operating at the best it can be from an economic and <a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/tag/water-conservation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>water conservation</strong> </a>perspective,” he says. “An audit can lead to savings that the client will begin to see rapidly.”</p>
<p>A thorough audit involves inspecting and analyzing every component of an irrigation system. Visual inspections carefully review controllers, valves, heads, piping, backflow regulators, pumps and filters for damage or malfunction.</p>
<p>In addition, catch-can testing — a standard for golf and sports field irrigation audits, but not always with landscape irrigation systems — measures water distribution uniformity. This ensures the irrigation system is calibrated for even coverage and minimizes wasteful overspray or dry spots.</p>
<p>Lastly, analyzing the client’s historical trends, controller programming and irrigation schedules helps identify areas for adjustment and improvement.</p>
<p>An irrigation auditor produces a comprehensive recommendation report detailing specific measures to improve efficiency in these areas. These may include optimized watering schedules, repairs or replacements of faulty components, head realignment and leak detection.</p>
<p>Experts say audits rarely require a major system overhaul. Instead, most audits identify a leak or broken irrigation head somewhere in the system or zones in the landscape that no longer have plants that need to be watered, says Alex Mayfield, CLIA and principal at <strong><a href="https://jmirrigation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JM Irrigation</a></strong> in Volo, Ill.</p>
<p>“With an older irrigation system, it’s not unusual to have a system that was designed to water a tree that is no longer there,” he says. “Another common occurrence is that the homeowner simply doesn’t understand how to properly use their controller.”</p>
<p>Mayfield adds some homeowners have a “set-and-forget” mentality where they’ve been running the same program for years and didn’t realize they could change it.</p>
<p>Many irrigation experts offer annual audits — often timed with spring start-up or fall shut-down — as a complimentary service, recognizing their value in cultivating strong client relationships and addressing their desire to be sustainable water consumers. While some contractors charge for audits, regional water districts frequently subsidize these audit costs for clients as part of broader water conservation programs.</p>
<p>“What’s important is getting to that first step in the auditing process — a high-level inspection of the irrigation system,” says Lindsay Kinsler, CLIA, a water conservation representative with the <strong><a href="https://www.ebmud.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">East Bay Municipal Utility District</a></strong> in Oakland, Calif.</p>
<p>“From there, you can go to the next level and discuss with the client how new technology or specific repairs will get them to save water and, in the long run, save money.”</p>

Turf School: The battle with billbugs

urn:uuid:7c03fda4-10bd-9f66-59d4-afccdfeaa339Wed, 05 Mar 2025 15:00:00 +0000<p>Everything to know about controlling these crawling critters. </p>
<p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/turf-school-the-battle-with-billbugs/">Turf School: The battle with billbugs</a> first appeared on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net">Landscape Management</a>.</p></p>
<p>After a January Arctic air mass plunged most of the central, eastern and even southern U.S. into a frozen winter wasteland, many lawn care operators (LCOs) are relieved to see the weather warm back up in preparation for spring.</p>
<p>However, as winter begins to close, preparations for the inevitable springtime <strong><a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/tag/turf/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">turf</a></strong> pests are open for business.</p>
<p>One such pest that can plague the northern to central U.S., even stretching west into Idaho and Utah, is the bluegrass billbug (Sphenophorus parvulus). Shannon Slevin, <strong><a href="https://www.controlsolutionsinc.com/quali-pro" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Quali-Pro</a></strong>’s northeast territory manager, says these pests are small — roughly a quarter of an inch — and rigid insects with a distinctively curved snout at the front. They’re usually black or grey with long grooves running down their back.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image alignright is-resized wp-image-138629"><img decoding="async" width="620" height="336" src="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/QualiProSponsor_620px.jpg" alt="(Graphic: Quali-Pro)" class="wp-image-138629" style="width:415px;height:auto"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">(Graphic: Quali-Pro)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Slevin says the bugs like to overwinter in some type of coverage or leaf litter on the outskirts of properties, and when the soil starts warming in the spring (roughly late April to early May), the adults emerge and traverse the property to feed and mate.</p>
<p>“The preferred turf is Kentucky bluegrass,” Slevin says. “They will chomp on perennial rye and fescues as well, but it’s normally Kentucky bluegrass.”</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Feeding frenzy</h3>
<p>During the initial feeding, Slevin says there’s usually little damage; it’s the upcoming generations that become an issue.</p>
<p>After the billbugs emerge, feed and mate, female billbugs can lay more than 200 eggs. When these eggs become larvae, Slevin says they chomp on the roots and crowns of the plant, causing significant damage to the turf usually around late June.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image alignright wp-image-149000 size-medium"><img decoding="async" width="300" height="162" src="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/LM0225_bluegrass_billbug_adultR-1-300x162.jpg" alt="Bluegrass billbugs have a distinctly curved snout at the front and grooved lines going down their back.

(Photo: Getty Images: DNY59 / E+, boschettophotography / iStock / Getty Images Plus)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Sometimes, the new adults can even repeat the process in the same year, meaning another wave of eggs and larvae could wreak more havoc on lawns later into the summer.</p>
<p>“There’s typically two generations within 30 day cycles, so that second generation damage you would see mid- to late-July,” Slevin says.</p>
<p>Slevin warns that with billbug feedings cause turf to look wilty and yellowed, and one of the biggest mistakes LCOs can make is misidentifying it as drought damage if left untreated.</p>
<p>“If it’s completely overlooked, you may confuse some of the untreated damage from the insect with turf drought,” Slevin says. “I think that could be one of the key driving things that you need to start scouting well into that late June period if it’s left untreated for the first generation.”</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Beat the bug</h3>
<p>Once billbugs are identified, treating them can be fairly straightforward. Slevin, for example, says the active ingredient chlorantraniliprole historically has been very effective.</p>
<p>“(Chlorantraniliprole) has done really well in the past with Acelepryn,” Slevin says. “There’s a lot of other manufacturers that have access to that molecule currently, and Quali-Pro will be one of those manufacturers here in the very near future with that molecule as a control option as well.”</p>
<p>Slevin also says <strong><a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/tag/quali-pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Quali-Pro</a></strong> also offers a new chemistry called Suprado to help fight against billbugs and other turf pests.</p>
<p>“It is an insect growth regulator,” he says. “It covers the complete life cycle from eggs to larvae to adults, controlling each phase as it molts.”</p>
<p>In addition to choosing the right chemical to eliminate billbugs, Slevin says LCOs that are doing aerification and interseeding can also choose the right grass to resist the issue in the first place.</p>
<p>“I would suggest that those folks look out for turf varieties of Kentucky bluegrass that’s actually bred and designed to be billbug resistant,” Slevin says. “There’s a lot of new varieties out there on the market that are actually bred for that purpose.”</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.fleetio.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fleetio</a></strong>, a fleet optimization platform, developed its first map add-in for Geotab’s MyGeotab platform, enhancing its integration with the connected vehicle provider. The add-in enables mutual customers to quickly direct drivers to preferred vendors within <strong><a href="https://updates.fleetio.com/maintenance-shop-network-add-in-now-available-with-geotab-ylKbC" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fleetio’s Maintenance Shop Network</a></strong> without leaving MyGeotab.</p>
<p>Fleetio’s Maintenance Shop Network connects fleets with thousands of national, independent and mobile service providers to automate and expedite the repair approval process and get real-time visibility into outsourced maintenance activity. The Shop Network add-in, bringing Fleetio functionality directly into MyGeotab, helps fleet managers and dispatchers coordinate service, reduce downtime and view preferred shop options based on a vehicle’s current location, according to the company.</p>
<p>“This new feature strengthens the connection between telematics and maintenance management, allowing fleets to make informed decisions without leaving their Geotab dashboard,” said Stefano Daneri, product marketing manager at Fleetio. “By integrating Fleetio’s Maintenance Shop Network, we’re enabling fleets to get back on the road quicker and eliminate the headaches associated with tracking and logging repairs.”</p>
<p>Fleetio developed the Map Add-In to address the needs of joint customers, particularly those managing outsourced maintenance for on-the-road drivers.</p>
<h4>Key features include:</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Shop search by proximity:</strong> View verified and unverified maintenance shops, including mobile service providers, near the vehicle’s current location based on GPS data.</li>
<li><strong>Preferred shops filtering: </strong>Direct drivers to the fleet’s service providers.</li>
<li><strong>Accessible shop details:</strong> Access shop information, including services offered and pricing, in a map or list view for better decision-making and cost control.</li>
<li><strong>Improved maintenance coordination: </strong>Direct drivers to approved shops from MyGeotab and complete repair order approvals automatically in Fleetio.</li>
</ul>
<p>“Fleets face constant pressure to optimize operations while addressing unexpected challenges, and our integration with Fleetio continues to evolve and deliver the resources necessary for continual development,” said Emily Williams, head of transportation business development at Geotab. “The new Map Add-In brings critical maintenance shop information into MyGeotab, making it easier for fleets to respond quickly and help vehicles remain on the road safely.”</p>
<p>This add-in expands on Fleetio’s existing integration with Geotab, allowing customers to sync real-time telematics data such as GPS tracking, engine fault codes, sensor data and utilization metrics into the Fleetio platform for a holistic view of fleet performance and health.</p>

<p>Tree care professionals can now have the ability to access more complete solutions for all their tree removal, maintenance and cleanup needs through a new partnership between <strong><a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/tag/ditch-witch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ditch Witch</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://www.branchmanagerusa.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Branch Manager</a></strong>. This collaboration aims to create a one-stop shop for ordering Ditch Witch stand-on <strong><a href="https://www.landscapemanagement.net/tag/skid-steers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skid-steers</a></strong> and Branch Manager’s tree care attachments, creating a new solution for tree care professionals.</p>
<p>As part of the packaged solutions, customers will receive a single warranty covering both the machine and the attachment. Additionally, the combined offerings can also be purchased through a single financing program from Ditch Witch Financial Services.</p>
<p>“Tree care professionals can now easily find, order and finance the complete solutions that they need for a variety of jobs,” said Brant Kukuk, Ditch Witch product manager. “By pairing our versatile and reliable stand-on skid-steers with tree care attachments from an industry leader that has made tree care projects simpler for more than 20 years, contractors can boost job site efficiency, reduce labor and simplify complex tasks on the job site.”</p>
<p>Through the partnership, customers can combine Ditch Witch stand-on skid-steers, up to the SK1750, with five Branch Manager attachments, including four new grapples and a rake.</p>
<p>Utilizing Hardox wear plate, BMG mini skid-steer log grapples offer improved strength and abrasion resistance to various tree care projects. The grapples are available in free and powered rotation, offer lifting capacities to 3,000 pounds (1360 kg) and aim to enhance performance and precision for tree care contractors in pick-and-place tasks.</p>
<p>Designed to fit the Branch Manager log grapple, the BMG Rake can save hours on tree removal job sites, according to the company. The rake attachment is ideal for sweeping stump chips, pine needles, rocks or other materials that tree care professionals would otherwise need to rake by hand.</p>
<p>Ditch Witch and Branch Manager are committed to deepening their partnership by exploring opportunities to introduce a broader range of products and attachments, according to the companies.</p>
<p>“We are actively collaborating to broaden our portfolio of tree care offerings,” said Kukuk. “This ongoing partnership will enhance the capabilities of tree care professionals and ensure they have access to the most comprehensive and advanced tools in the industry.”</p>
