In the past I had one of you come out to give me an estimate for installing a drip system in one of our landscaping areas around a parking lot. I am still interested, but I was also wondering if you would consider teaching a class on drip systems for my crew. We have numerous areas in all of our parking lots and garages downtown that we would like to switch out from old irrigation to drip systems. I would like the crew to feel confidant in doing this work themselves after some instruction. Is this something you would consider doing? Feel free to email or call 420-5135.
Thanks
