While a commercial landscape irrigation system may rest below the ground, the landscape is insightful and relies on a solid water delivery system. With water shortages constantly threatening the West Coast and consistent rains on the East Coast, landscape companies are continually trying to find innovative ways to sell irrigation to their commercial customers.

Join us this week to hear Michael Derewenko and Stacey Sturnot discuss how JAIN and Landscapes USA brought the right solutions to customers in exciting times. 

We’ll spotlight a few successful projects that brought ancillary opportunities to Landscapes USA, all stemming from initial irrigation challenges.

During this session you will learn:

  1. How to make an overall evaluation of an irrigation system
  2. How to determine which recommendations will provide the best paybacks to customers
  3. What presentations work best for irrigation upgrades
  4. How irrigation upgrades drive additional business to your company.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday.
