Fairfax, Virginia-based Irrigation & Lighting magazine, the business publication serving contractors in those industries, named the three winners of its Watch Us Grow: 2023 Industry Standouts program. These irrigation and landscape professionals were chosen for their exceptional efforts in supporting successful business growth in the past year. The 2023 program was sponsored by Heritage Landscape Supply Group.
This year’s standouts include the following:
- Loren McIrvin, owner of Allied Landscape, Livermore, California
- Suzanne Saylor, director of Shearon interiors, Shearon Environmental Design, Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania

Each of the winners was featured with an in-depth profile in Irrigation & Lighting’s Summer 2023 print and digital editions.
“The Watch Us Grow: Industry Standouts program celebrates contractors and business owners who excel at developing both their revenues and their teams. The three standouts chosen this year have shown a drive for education for both themselves and their teams, as well as the ability to continually grow and expand their business,” says Kyle Brown, Irrigation & Lighting editor-in-chief. “These professionals showcase how our industry contributes to a thriving economy, supports resource sustainability and provides valuable jobs in our communities.”
