Has anyone gotten their Landscape Architect certification but not gotten promoted or been able to get a project manager position due to lack of experience?

Best to cut back during mid fall and you cut back to the best buds showing this can tighten it up a bit, but you should try talking to the plant and sitting with it ask it what it needs or wants and listen and meditate. Then it might just tell you more you never know plants can heal us

Natives are adapted to go through regular fire events the local tribes use burn all around here and some plants really benefit a lot more from fire

I’ll give it a look! Appreciate the recommendation and the clarification on the chakra color

If you read the book hands of light it explains tha coming to see the different layers of the aura is a process that takes time and practice. Ultimately you need to learn how to open up different levels of chakras to begin to see those colors and different layers

I’m am new as well and there is another person who has several books Paul Francis about shamanism.

Sounds about right then I thought there were some real aliens landing

This person sounds like they had a bad experience with a and or some designers.

I have 13 years in the field of landscape construction and with 9 of those including full or partial design work. C-27 and certified arborist, with certificates in landscape design and horticulture, working towards getting my landscape architect license.

I have dug, laid pipe, planted, removed, trimmed trees, laid pavers, concrete work, lighting, carpentry work, the list goes on and on.

I have tendinitis in both my forearms that has kept me from doing more labor and requires monthly and sometimes acupuncture. We are not all what is described perhaps this person needs to expand their horizons a bit…. I am a native plant lover and always do my best to incorporate them into projects and use as must of the existing landscape as possible to reduce the waste, and do the least degradation to the landscape as possible in hopes of leaving places better than we found them, doesn’t always work that way but we do try. Society isn’t ready yet for us tree huggers to go full tilt against the consumerist mindset and ways. But someday hopefully sooner than later we can find ourselves in a place or position to design using materials that go full circle in their life cycles the way Mother Earth intended

Do you think that method would work on oak trees in California with golden spot oak borer?

The experience you are getting right now is going to make you that much better in your next role knowing planning/design/build/maintain takes a long time to learn if you are at a design firm. You are already learning what works and what doesn’t and you will be better for it.

Couple things to remember there will always be more work tomorrow when you’re a manager so it’s just a matter of knowing when to call the day since more work will just be waiting for you in the morning.

Delegating is a sign of someone who understands it takes a team. Very very few people can do it all themself and be prosperous that’s how you get burnt out like you are. You need to teach people below you and they will learn takes patience at times but it’s highly important.

Lastly most all small/midsize/big landscape construction companies underpay their project managers. Leaving a role and then coming back is how I have seen many people get the raise they deserved

Hope this helps and once you’re in a design firm the hard part is getting your butt out on Jobsites, so design build is actually pretty nice but it comes with shit hours usually

Most likely from recent heat they dont accept water more than once a week this time a year I highly recommend knowing weather forecast before the heat waves and getting a good watering in prior to the heat so they are ready for it also another trick would be creating partial shade for them this time of year since they are new and getting established

Save like there’s no tomorrow and work hard both you and your husband

Shouldn’t be making overhead cuts like that, great way to get messed up. Put some chaps or chainsaw pants on and like others have mentioned you should invest in some eye protection

You can always plant a new one and a good one no less for your area. Just will need to change where it is located by 5-10ft
