Scott Wentworth CLD

As the landscape designer, salesperson, and primary contact for any new project, it's crucial to understand how to attract and retain potential clients. What you say can help build trust and highlight your expertise, creating a strong foundation for success and making a big difference in turning interest into successful collaborations. Join Scott Wentworth, CLD  from Wentworth Landscapes, as he shares his wisdom and knowledge to help you effectively attract and retain new design clients!

 

Blake Sicard

What distinguishes natural stone from manufactured stone in design? Do clients understand the difference? When and where should natural stone be selected over manufactured options? And is it possible for designers to combine both? Landscape stone choices are very personal, influenced by a client's vision and their budget. Curious about the cost differences? We're pleased to welcome Blake Sicard from Creative Landscape Depot to help us explore these interesting questions.

 

Dr. Ron Koudys CLD

We all share that curiosity! Dr. Ron Koudys, CLD from Ron Koudys Landscape Architects Inc., has spent years developing innovative ideas and perfect solutions. Let's warmly welcome Ron as he shares his insights on inspiring great design and where design ideas originate from.
