I’m looking for someone in this forum that has experience working for or with the firm SALCO? Are they well regarded within the landscape construction industry? More importantly, are they a good employer?

I’ve been aware of SSI but hadn’t seen their latest report. Go to: http://www.sustainablesites.org
You’ll find a link to the report on the first page. I must say, the “documentation” requirements suggested in this report read like an undergraduate studio assignment for a year-long class. My recent work on a small LEED project looks like a total of…[Read more]

i think i agree with you..then we can evaluate each other…

I have an idea for all of you graphics enthusiasts…..maybe we should all render the same graphic using our techniques and compare and contrast all of our different styles and influences…..Does anyone have any thoughts on this idea? I am open to any suggestions as well!

Does anybody have any suggestions or tips on which ME countries have the best job potential? I’m trying to figure out if work in the region is a viable option these days as my home market (Phoenix, Arizona) has stalled completely. Contacts or resource information would be more than appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome new members!
