Install a French Drain in Half the Time!  Use EZFlow for Your Drainage
EZFlow Gravel Free French Drain System from NDS is proven to cut labor costs by 50% OR MORE
 
The revolutionary EZFlow is used in place of a traditional gravel, pipe and trench fabric combination for a variety of drainage applications. 

On a typical 50' French drain system, EZFlow can be installed in under 10 minutes once the trench is dug. This is an incredible labor savings that can allow contractors to double their efficiency. There is no messy gravel clean up after the job - another key benefit that saves time. Click here for a video that takes you through a side by side installation comparison of both EZFlow and a traditional French drain. 

To encourage you to see the difference, NDS is offering a free trial on the product that covers 50% of your cost of the product! If you have a French drain project coming up, please contact us so we can get you half of the EZFlow for free.

WAC Lighting's New Adjustable Beam Wall-Wash Fixture
WAC Landscape Lighting's new adjustable beam LED Wall Wash fixture simplifies fixture selection and installation. 
 
Rather than moving the fixture in relation to the wall to control the spread of light, WAC allows you to control the beam distribution at the fixture.  Set it to control the beam distribution to 3x4 (35"x60") to 4x5 (60"x90") to 5x6 (90"x120") proportions and everything in-between, with a uniform wash of light. You can also orient the beam pattern horizontally or vertically simply by rotating the fixture's head.
 
With an on-board integral brightness control, there is no need to carry multiple fixtures or lamps.  Adjust the lumen output range from 200-1500 lumens with a range of 3-25 Watts of LED power.  See it and the full line of WAC products here.

Don't Stress About the PRS
California state law now requires all spray sprinklers to include a built-in pressure regulator.
 
Be sure that you submit change orders on upcoming commercial projects. Old bids will need to be updated to the state-mandated products (PRS-30 for spray nozzles and PRS-45 for rotary nozzles). While this is extra paperwork, it is an opportunity to maintain your margins.
The Urban Farmer Store Makes Rainwater Harvesting Easy
Did you know that 60-70% of the potable drinking water that comes to our homes is used to irrigate our landscape? Use the water from your clients roof! 1,000 sq. ft. of roof area, in a 1" rain event can potentially collect nearly 600 gallons of rainwater for future use.

Handy rainwater harvesting barrel and tank systems from The Urban Farmer Store allow you to implement rain water harvesting in a few easy steps.  

Systems can be custom-tailored to your installation location and specific needs. Choose from Slimline, Round and Low Profile configurations. The tank systems are aesthetically pleasing with color options that match your client's setting. Systems can be installed near a building or tucked away inconspicuously in the landscape. We also offer below-ground solutions too.
