Green Industry Professionals

Being a professional in this business requires a lot of extra work, there are many new techniques for pruning,planting and transplanting. One of the newest involves using an air spade to move large trees, this is a process where the majority of the soil from around a trees roots are removed. In the past when transplanting we were always very careful to get as much soil with the transplant as possible, but with all of this new technology, transplanting has become easier and more successful, especially with larger specimen plants. That's why it's very important in this industry to attend as many shows and seminars as you can to keep up with all of this, also becoming certified helps you to learn as much as you can about the green industry, becoming a NH Certified Landscape Professional is a great way to learn and become more professional. Also learning about all areas of the green industry such as lawn care and tree care will help you stand out in this industry, it seems like a lot of problems related to trees and shrubs are created by people who did not take the time to attend these seminars, plants planted at the wrong depth or over mulched or just planted in the wrong place.
