We’re hearing more chatter about a market downturn — interest rates, inflation, global uncertainty… the usual storm. Are you seeing clients pull back on landscaping budgets? Or do you feel like your local market is still strong because the jobs market is holding steady? Would love to hear: - Any changes you’ve seen in client behavior? - Are you adjusting your pricing or service offerings? - Doubling down on marketing? Or tightening up? Let’s be real about what we’re seeing — and how we’re preparing. Also, I give my thoughts in the comments.

Greetings, I have grown up around agriculture and have been working at ways to integrate edible aspects into properties for a number of years. I am getting more people over time interested in swapping out individual plants from ornamental to edible, and some are looking for wider designs that include multi species/polyculture. Locating solid sub contractors in different areas has been my biggest challenge, any pro tips for what to say/do to know they are going to serve my client well if I am not in the geographic area to directly oversee the project?
