I have over 30 years of experience in landscaping with a focus on irrigation. I have expertise in garden and landscape design, installation, and maintenance. I know a lot about common garden plants, their habits and needs, and I can offer good advice on Western climate zones in particular. I have become an expert and innovator in irrigation, which I feel is in need of improvement in the parts and practices commonly used. I would like to see a lot fewer drip emitters used in ornamental landscapes in particular, and judicious use of overhead irrigation instead. Happy to be a part of the stackexchange! Happy Gardening, y’all!
