H-2B Update: final rule on additional visas expected 5/8/19

Colorado Green asked landscape professionals, “When equipment begins to break down, do you prefer to repair or replace?” The responses, and reasons behind them, were varied. In fact, the decision may be different over the life cycle of the company. Business owners make decisions and adjust processes based on the size and resources of their organization as well as current market conditions. Labor shortages, lower interest rates for large purchases... all of it can affect where funds are spent.

Landscape companies would not mow acres upon acres of grass or complete all their installations each season without service technicians in their own shop or nearby dealership. Those techs keep the industry running. On the equipment side, workforce is as much of a challenge as it is for any other segment of the green industry.
