Made with Plenty of TLC Our new website is hand- crafted to provide great ideas for your business. O ne of my hobbies is creating traditional hand-split white oak baskets, which in- volves harvesting a tree from the woods, splitting it into sections along the grain, carving, whittling and cutting strips and pieces that can be woven into a functional basket. I do pretty good at it. People often ask, "How many hours does it take to weave a basket?" Honestly, I don't keep track of the time in- volved because I'd be depressed to acknowledge what my hourly wage turned out to be. Yet, it's worth the effort. Same holds true for our new website, totalland scapecare.com. Many, many hours from a team of great devel- opers, editors and artists went into its making. And as ironic as it might seem, it's built by hand – one word, photo and line of code at a time. The objective was to create a site that mirrors the look, feel and substance of the magazine. It must first please the eye, be easy to navigate and offer unique and deep content. We hope to build it into the premier informa- tion resource for you to find great ideas on how to better run your business, be inspired by the work of others, learn, share and find news and updates on the fast-changing green industry.

In each of these, you can drill down for more specific info on topics such as hardscap- ing, plants and irrigation. We had a lot of fun making it – despite the oc- casional difficult weaving and splinters – and we hope you enjoy the site when you visit. Let me know. I'm ready to take a sharp knife to anything needing improvement. July 2012 / TOTAL LANDSCAPE CARE 7
