COVER STORY
Auditing for savings
A Tennessee landscape company finds its niche using smart irrigation practices for a commercial client.
For states experiencing drought conditions, water conservation in landscaping is a necessity. But for Tennessee, the sixth rainiest state in the U.S. according to the National Weather Service, concerns of drought don’t often motivate customers to implement more water-efficient landscape methods.
That changed for Andrew Moberly, CLIA, the irrigation manager at Yellowstone Landscape in Nashville, when a client contacted him with a desire to upgrade the irrigation system covering about 2 million square feet of commercial property and save as much water as possible.
