Q: The landscape industry is facing the most challenging time in its history. As you look to the next quarter century, what do you see as the greatest challenges?
A: There are challenges, sure. The droughts that have gripped our state for 7 of the last 10 years will surely provide obstacles to our industry. Both this issue and that of invasive plants have spawned legislation in the State Houses of Government this session. The one I lose sleep over, however, is the immigration issue. This one will surely come to the forefront in the new administration and congress, and it is likely that businesses will be asked to shoulder the load of verifying the authenticity of I-9 documentation and preventing the hire of illegals aliens. What keeps me awake at night, however, is the prospect that there may not be enough people to provide our services.
