GOLF TOURNAMENT

ALCA'S MOST SUCCESSFUL GOLF TOURNAMENT YET RAISES RECORD FUNDS FOR SCHOLARSHIPS

By Linda Turnage, ALCA Executive Director

The Arizona Landscape Contractors' Association (ALCA) delivered an unforgettable day of golf, camaraderie, and philanthropy at the 2026 ALCA Golf Tournament, held on Thursday, May 14, at the beautiful Anthem Golf & Country Club.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Sonoran Desert foothills, this year's tournament marked a significant milestone for ALCA. For the first time in the event's history, two championship courses operated simultaneously, creating an elevated playing experience for participants while accommodating more golfers than ever before.

The result was nothing short of extraordinary.

Thanks to the incredible support of our players, sponsors, volunteers, and industry partners, the 2026 tournament raised more funds than any golf tournament in ALCA history. The overwhelming participation and generosity demonstrated the strength of Arizona's green industry and its commitment to investing in future generations.

All proceeds from the tournament directly benefit the ALCA and Sky Blu Underwood Scholarship Program, which has helped aspiring green industry professionals pursue higher education for decades.

Sky Blu Underwood was born in Phoenix in 1974 and grew up immersed in the landscape

industry, often working alongside his father at AAA Landscape. His passion for the outdoors and deep connection to agriculture inspired those around him. Although Sky's life was tragically cut short before he could fully realize his dreams, his legacy continues through this scholarship program, helping young people pursue careers dedicated to enhancing and beautifying the world through landscaping, horticulture, irrigation, arboriculture, and related fields.

The tournament featured a four-person scramble format with a shotgun start, exciting on-course contests, specialty holes, drone drops, Beat- the-Pro challenges, hole-in-one opportunities, and an awards luncheon following play.

Most importantly, it brought together professionals from across the industry for a day focused on connection, competition, and giving back.

ALCA extends its sincere gratitude to every golfer who participated and helped make this event such an overwhelming success. Your support directly impacts students pursuing careers in the green industry and helps ensure a bright future for our profession.

We would also like to recognize and thank our generous sponsors whose contributions helped make this record-breaking event possible: AAA Landscape, LeBaron & Carroll, DTR/ The Synthetic Grass Store, SunScape, SunWest Golf & Reclamation, Mow Power, Nutrien

Ag Solutions, Sunbelt Rentals, Harmony Horticulture Consulting, Marsh McLennan Agency, Sprinkler World, Cintas, AZ Scapes, National Bank of Arizona, SWAIM Associates LTD Architects AIA, Building Excellence, Palo Verde First Aid Fire & Safety, CareScape, Hunter Industries, All Season Wholesale Growers, SiteOne Landscape Supply, Cutting Edge Curbing Sand & Rock, Evergreen Turf, Ewing Outdoor Supply, Arid Solutions Nursery, Courtesy Chevrolet, Arizona CLA, OnSite Oil Change Plus, West Coast Turf, Horizon Distributors, Belgard/Superlite Block, Grand Canyon University, Valley Ice Company, Midway Chevrolet, Landscape Products, Kress, Sun Country Truck Equipment, Vermeer Mountain West, and our special contest sponsors Backswing Golf Events, Earnhardt Ford, and Courtesy Chevrolet.

A special thank you to our volunteers who donated their time and energy to help make this event a success: AAA Landscape, GPM Landscape, and Insurica Southwest.

Because of your support, ALCA is able to continue investing in education, workforce development, and the future leaders of Arizona's green industry.

EDUCATION FEATURE

LEARNING TO EMBRACE E.T.

By Mike McGeough

The world is full of words that are repeated often yet poorly understood. Several come to mind for me: Crypto, The Cloud, Teenagers.

I can’t help you with those, but I hope to shine a little light on the word Evapotranspiration, or E.T., as it is more commonly known as, and why it should be considered important to the landscape industry.

Many years ago, I was fortunate enough to have a mentor by the name of Jim Trog, who early on saw the value of using E.T. in how we water our landscapes. Unfortunately, Jim is no longer with us, but I think he’d be happy that E.T. might be having a moment. Considering we live in one of the hottest and driest places on earth, The Valley hasn’t done a great job of learning how to embrace the desert landscape we live in, and lackadaisical water management is part of the problem. It appears that the upcoming CAP restrictions, and especially skyrocketing water bills, might be the tipping point to change this mentality. Although turf-to-xeriscape conversions are capturing a lot of the headlines, I believe that watering to E.T., particularly for grass, is where the uncaptured savings really lie.

Evapotranspiration (E.T.) has a lot of moving parts such as solar radiation, air temperature, wind, humidity, etc…, but it can be most succinctly described as the sum of all processes by which water moves from the land surface to the atmosphere via evaporation and transpiration.

The below image sums it up perfectly.

THE ALCA INFLUENCE

T JULY/AUGUST 2026

So, how does this apply to our industry?

Well, E.T. changes every day, and there are not enough hours in the day, or money in the budget, to manually adjust irrigation controllers daily.

Without an irrigation controller that is automatically adjusting to these changes in E.T. we are leaving water/$$$ on the table.

Let’s take a look at just one example: We think that Turf Zone #5, with six 180° rotors, should run 30 minutes, but E.T. calculations determine that 27 minutes is the correct amount.

Not a big deal right… I’m close enough…What’s 3 minutes? I used to think the same thing. Well, let’s take a closer look. Those 6 heads likely have 4GPM nozzles. That’s 24GPM × 3 minutes = 72 gallons. Roughly 14 Home Depot buckets full of water for one cycle of one zone! The point here is that precise watering across a property really starts to add up to significant savings.

Many will say, “I tried watering to E.T., and it didn’t work”. This may have been true, but it wasn’t because Mother Nature was wrong. It was likely how it was executed. There are steps that must be taken to get it right. Here are a few: 1. If you don’t have controllers with daily updated E.T. based capabilities, I would encourage working with your properties on budgeting for an upgraded system.

2. If you already have an irrigation controller with daily E.T. based programming available, then learning its capabilities and its limitations are key.

Each manufacturer, and controller model, has their nuances and must be fully understood so you aren’t disappointed with the result.

3. Spend the time on the initial programming, with particular attention paid to sprinkler head precipitation rates. Yes, when programming to E.T. there are additional steps involved, but the time you spend in the beginning will pay dividends in water savings and time savings for years to come.

4. E.T. is not gospel. In my opinion there is no better starting point, but it will still need to be adjusted to your individual properties and what you see in the field.

Regardless of your past experiences, I think it’s time to give E.T. another chance. There are several resources that can help you successfully incorporate E.T. based programming into your business such as manufacturers, distributors, and peers involved in our A.L.C.A. community. Our industry can be stereotyped as slow to change, but I don’t think we have an option to be “slow” anymore when it comes to water management. I believe that landscape contractors will be judged more and more through the prism of water management. Adopting water management tools like E.T. makes sound business sense, and it will also help make The Valley a more sustainable place for the future.

BEYOND MORE WATER: WHY HEAT-STRESSED PLANTS NEED MORE THAN IRRIGATION

By Kasey Harman, Harmony Horticultural Consulting

What Urban Landscapes Are Up Against— and How to Respond Every summer in the Desert Southwest, we hit that stretch when landscapes start to show stress, and everyone reaches for the same solution: more water. Sometimes that works. Sometimes it makes things worse.

The reality is, we’re no longer managing landscapes in a “normal” desert envi-

ronment. We’re managing them in an urban heat island—where pavement, buildings, and reflective surfaces amplify temperatures well beyond what plants evolved to handle.

In cities like Phoenix, research from Arizona State University shows that urban areas can run significantly hotter than surrounding desert landscapes due to heat-absorbing materials and reduced vegetation. These surfaces store heat during the day and release it at night, meaning plants don’t even get a break after sunset. And plants notice.

What Heat Stress Actually Does to Plants

When temperatures spike, plants shift into survival mode. The first response is stomatal closure—plants shut down their pores to conserve water. That helps prevent dehydration, but it also limits carbon dioxide intake, which reduces photosynthesis. In simple terms, the plant slows or stops producing energy. At the same time respiration increases, stored energy is burned faster, photosynthesis declines, growth is reduced, and cellular damage occurs, leading to scorch and dieback.

In addition, root function declines, especially in overheated soils. Root zone temperature is often the hidden driver. In exposed urban soils, temperatures can climb high enough to reduce water uptake and impair nutrient absorption—even when irrigation is adequate. So, if a plant looks nutrientdeficient in July, it may not be a fertilizer issue. It may just be too stressed to function.

The Water Problem (It’s Not Just “Add More”)

As temperatures rise, so does evapotranspiration (ET). Plants lose water faster, and soil dries out more quickly—especially near hardscape. Research from the ASU Water Innovation Initiative highlights how vegetation, heat, and water are tightly linked in desert cities. As heat increases, so does irrigation demand—but not always efficiently. Overwatering in response to heat stress can lead to reduced oxygen in the root zone, increased pest pressure, and nutrient leaching. In other words, more water isn’t always better. It just creates a different set of problems.

Why Urban Landscapes Are Struggling More

It’s not just the heat; it’s how that heat interacts with the built environment. Urban landscapes experience higher nighttime temperatures (less recovery time), increased radiant heat from walls and pavement, hotter soil temperatures, and reduced soil microbial activity. Studies on urban Continued on page 11

THE ALCA INFLUENCE

T JULY/AUGUST 2026

Beyond More Water: Why Heat-Stressed Plants Need More Than Irrigation Continued from page 10

heat in Phoenix and Tucson show that reduced vegetation and increased impervious surfaces directly contribute to higher surface temperatures and greater plant stress. So, while desert plants are adapted to heat, they are not adapted to parking lots and the surrounding heat sources.

What Actually Helps: Practical Heat Mitigation

The good news is that we’re not powerless here. There are proven strategies—both from research and field experience—that make a measurable difference.

1. Protect the Root Zone If the roots fail, the plant fails.

Maintain mulch layers and improve soil structure to keep soil temperatures lower and moisture more consistent. While organic mulch and compost are the preferred materials for heat-stress mitigation, inorganic surfaces can also help, as long as the rocks are not in direct contact with the plant stem (which introduces another stress). Allowing 2-6” of space between rocks and plant tissue will help prevent the transferring of heat directly to the plant.

2. Shade Tree canopy is one of the most effective cooling tools we have. It reduces surface temperatures, lowers ET demand, and protects understory plants. If tree canopy is unavailable, use shade cloth to protect plants: 30% shade for cactus and succulents, and 40-50% shade for sunscald-prone species.

Burlap is not recommended as it tends to hold heat by the tissue. Cover exposed tree trunks on new trees and recently pruned tissue to prevent permanent tissue damage.

3. Design for Microclimates Not all exposure is equal. Southand west-facing areas, reflective walls, and paved courtyards create extreme conditions. Plant placement matters more than ever. Choose plant species wisely!

4. Improve Soil Health Organic matter improves water retention, nutrient availability, and microbial activity—all of which help plants tolerate stress. There are many organic materials that can be introduced into urban landscapes (below the d.g.) to improve soil conditions and reduce heat-related stress. One that we have been using recently is Bio-char.

5. Irrigate Strategically Deep, thorough watering encourages stronger root systems. Adjust irrigation based on ET and site conditions—not just the calendar. Ensure emitter placement is uniform around plants to help with distribution uniformity (DU). Point source irrigation can be tricky when it comes to DU. Run cycles long enough to thoroughly hydrate the entire rootzone, not just one side of the plant or tree. There are also amendments that can aid in soil water retention. Ask your supplier for smart, available options.

6. Choose the Right Plants (and the Right Place) Even desertadapted species can struggle in amplified urban heat. Match plants to the actual microclimate—not just the regional climate.

The Takeaway

Urban landscapes are operating under conditions that didn’t exist 20–30 years ago. Higher temperatures, more reflective surfaces, and longer heat durations are pushing plants beyond their typical stress thresholds. The response isn’t just more water or more fertilizer. It’s a better design, better soil management, and a stronger understanding of how heat impacts plant physiology. Because at the end of the day, the goal isn’t just to keep plants alive through the summer. It’s to make sure they thrive for years, helping to achieve that beautiful, sustainable landscape.

TO OVERSEED OR NOT TO OVERSEED

By Dave Thomas—Evergreen Turf

Fall Overseeding/Winter Lawn

The most popular method of keeping a sod grass lawn green through a Southwest winter is to overseed with perennial ryegrass. Thanks to the beautiful dark green lawn ryegrass provides, many people feel that their winter lawns are more appealing than their summer lawns!

The optimum time to overseed your sod grass lawn in Arizona is during the first two weeks of October, or when the evening temperatures consistently stay below 65 degrees. Although it takes a little effort, we are sure that you will love the results. If you have any questions or need assistance with planting or maintaining your winter lawn, please contact us.

Also, sign up for our email newsletter today by entering your email address in the field to the left and we'll send you a notification when it is time to overseed your sod grass lawn. You'll also get information on how to care for your summer and winter grass. We are glad to help you keep your lawn looking its best all year around. We do not give or sell our customer information to anyone, and we guard your privacy.

STEPS TO OVERSEED YOUR LAWN Step 1—Scalping

To insure a good overseed for the winter, you need to eliminate the competition of your summer lawn and reduce the thatch that has accumulated over the summer. This is accomplished by scalping and de-thatching, which is the removal of leaf and thatch accumulation to ensure the seed gets down to the soil.

First, drop your mowing height down to 1⁄4" - 1⁄2". This should remove all of the green tissue in this process. You may have to mow your lawn 2 or 3 times to accomplish this. Collect and remove all of the clippings.

If you still have too much thatch, you may need to rent a "power rake". This is a machine with blades that will quickly loosen and rake the thatch. Rake your lawn in 2 directions with the "power rake", mow one more time, then collect the clippings. You should now have a lawn that is very brown, with 1⁄4' to 1⁄2" of stubble, a network of "runners" on the surface (above ground stolons), and just a little bit of soil showing through.

You are now ready to seed.

Step 2—Seeding

The better quality your grass seed, the better quality your lawn will be. We recommend grasses that are suited for Arizona's desert climate such as perennial ryegrass.

Depending on how lush you prefer your lawn and the typical grass height you are planning, the amount of seed that you will need varies: 18

Step 5—Water

Water is critical! You want to maintain a moist seedbed for a period of seven to ten days to allow the seed to germinate. You will want to water 4 to 5 times per day for very short cycles that leave no puddles and no dry spots.

After the seed has germinated and grown to a height of 3⁄4" to 1", you may reduce watering to 2-3 times per day. After ten to fourteen days, you can reduce watering to once per day. Once your winter lawn is established, you will be able to water every other day through the winter.

However, when the temperatures begin to rise in the spring you may need to begin watering every night, depending on the needs of the lawn.

• Home Lawns (1"-2") — 12 pounds per 1,000 square feet • Home Lawns (1⁄2" - 1") — 15 pounds per 1,000 square feet • Golf course tees (1⁄4") — 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet • Golf course greens (< 1⁄4") — 30 pounds per 1,000 square feet Spread your seed in two directions, half in one direction and the other half in a direction perpendicular to the first. This will minimize overlaps and skips. If you overlap too much, you Step 6—Mowing will have some very thick stripes in your lawn. If The first mowing should occur at the 10th you have skips, you will see some very thin yellow areas in your lawn. It is important to spread your to 14th day after germination.

SMART IRRIGATION STARTS WITH THE CONTROLLER

By Ewing Outdoor Supply/Greg Williams

You’ve probably seen it before; sprinklers running in the middle of a rainstorm, water pooling on sidewalks, or landscapes being irrigated the same way week after week regardless of conditions. It’s not a system failure. It’s how traditional irrigation has always worked. The problem is that landscapes don’t operate on a fixed schedule.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that up to 50% of outdoor water use is wasted due to inefficient irrigation practices.

From a technical and field perspective, Ian Yarian, Ewing’s National Irrigation Category Manager, and Larry Giorux, Ewing’s Commodity Products Category Manager, point to a fundamental shift in how irrigation systems operate today.

Smart irrigation is less about automation and more about adaptability.

Systems that respond to real-world conditions instead of following a static schedule.

Instead of relying on fixed runtimes, smart controllers use this informa“At its core, smart irrigation is the ability of a controller to adjust tion to determine how long, and whether, to irrigate at all. Adjustments schedules based on real-time site and weather conditions,” said Larry. happen automatically, based on actual site conditions rather than assumpThe difference is straightforward: traditional controllers follow a tions. schedule, while smart controllers respond to conditions.

Performance in the Field

From Static Programming to Dynamic Control

The shift isn’t just conceptual; it changes how irrigation is managed on a daily basis. Control becomes an ongoing process, with the controller continuously adjusting as conditions change. That difference shows up most clearly at the controller.

“Traditional controllers do exactly what they’re told and nothing more,” said Larry. “They’re going to run that schedule no matter what’s happening with the weather or the soil.”

Even when rain sensors are in place, those systems are limited. They can pause irrigation during rainfall but don’t account for how much water has actually reached the soil or how conditions evolve afterward.

Smart controllers take a more responsive approach.

“A smart controller is constantly recalculating based on plant type, soil conditions, and weather since it’s not just running a fixed schedule,” said Ian. Instead of relying on preset runtimes, these systems continuously evaluate conditions and make adjustments automatically.

EPA WaterSense data shows that more than 28 million U.S. homes have irrigation systems, yet only about 10% currently use smart controller technology.

For many existing systems, that shift doesn’t require a full redesign; it often starts by upgrading or rethinking the controller.

Data-Driven Irrigation

What separates smart irrigation from traditional systems is its reliance on data.

Controllers evaluate multiple inputs, including weather conditions, rainfall, soil characteristics, and plant requirements. At the center of this is evapotranspiration (ET), which measures how quickly water is lost due to environmental factors.

“Solar radiation, wind, and precipitation all influence evapotranspiration rates,” Giorux said. “That combination ultimately drives how much irrigation is actually required.”

According to EPA WaterSense, outdoor water use accounts for roughly 30% of total household demand and can reach up to 60% in arid regions.

This makes irrigation one of the largest opportunities for efficiency gains.

One of the most immediate impacts of smart irrigation is improved system performance.

Overwatering is one of the most common issues in irrigation, often leading to higher water bills, plant stress, and unnecessary service calls.

Smart controllers help address that by applying water more precisely.

EPA WaterSense estimates that smart irrigation controllers can reduce water use by up to 30%, saving roughly 15,000 gallons per home each year.

“When I installed my first smart controller, I reduced my water usage by about 30%, and that translated directly into cost savings,” Ian said.

But efficiency isn’t the only benefit. “When water is applied correctly, it drives deeper root growth, which leads to healthier, more resilient plants,” Ian added.

Visibility, Protection, and Simpler Setup

Another advantage of smart irrigation is increased system awareness.

With the addition of flow sensors and monitoring capabilities, issues can be detected that might otherwise go unnoticed. This kind of real-time feedback helps prevent water loss, reduce potential damage, and ensure systems are operating as intended.

At the same time, modern smart controllers have become significantly easier to install and configure. Earlier systems required detailed programming and a deeper level of technical input, but today’s controllers incorporate built-in intelligence that simplifies the process.

A Shift in How Irrigation Is Managed

As water costs continue to rise and expectations around efficiency increase, the role of the irrigation controller is evolving.

Smart controllers meet those expectations by delivering systems that adapt automatically, respond to real conditions, and provide greater visibility into performance often without requiring a complete system overhaul.

“The goal is simple: deliver the right amount of water at the right time based on real conditions,” said Ian. For contractors, that shift creates an opportunity to improve system performance, reduce callbacks, and offer solutions that deliver measurable water savings.

As the industry continues to move in that direction, adaptability is quickly becoming the standard and increasingly, the expectation.
