Letter from the Editor

Welcome to the latest issue of The New Jersey Landscape Contractor magazine. One of my favorite features each year is the Landscape Achievement Awards section. Here we show you the award winners from the most recent Achievement Awards competition and really get to celebrate the amazing artistry and craftsmanship that goes into the work that you do every day.

Please take some time to check out the winning projects and notice some of the newest trends in outdoor living. And of course, take a look at the special awards given out this year to those folks who are really making a difference in our industry (see the page on the left). Thank you to them for all of the hard work and dedication they put into the NJLCA and the industry.

I would like to express my gratitude for your readership and support. We work tirelessly to bring you the most relevant, insightful, and engaging content possible, and it is always rewarding to see our work being appreciated and enjoyed by our readers.

I also want to encourage you to continue to share your feedback with us. Your comments and suggestions help us to improve the quality of our content and better understand what topics and issues are most important to you. In the coming months, we have some exciting plans for new features, stories, and content that we believe you will find both informative and entertaining. We are always looking for ways to stay ahead of the curve and provide you with fresh, compelling content that reflects the latest trends and developments in our field.

Thank you again for your support, and we look forward to bringing you the best possible content in the future.

Plus, I’m still looking for fun and crazy encounters you have come across working out there each day to include in our

“Tales from the Landscape Side” column. I love to hear the antics you come across, nutty clients, one in a million clients, great employees and vendors with a great story to tell. Please forward your stories to me at gwoolcott@njlca.org. In addition, if you want me to source an article on a particular topic or writer, let me know.

Have a great season!

Sincerely,

Gail Woolcott, Executive Director Editor of The New Jersey Landscape Contractor
