When it comes to protecting your clients’ investment in hardscape materials, there is much to consider. Proper cleaning methods and using the correct products are a must to keeping the unique characteristics and classic good looks lasting as long as possible. Unfortunately, not all cleaners and sealants work the same way. Some of the most common problems occur when sealers and cleaners are applied improperly. The following guidelines will show you what products work best for common problems and offer tips that should make this process easier.

How to Effectively Light Plant Material
by Rachel Ciavarello
Director of Customer Services
Lightcraft Outdoor, an APLD CA Bronze Sponsor
Lighting plants, shrubs and other low lying material can be an effective and dramatic feature in your landscape.
One of the most popular products is a compact plant/wash light that provides a soft spread of illumination-without a focused beam. The LED is placed in a horizontal platform which allows an efficient amount of light without overpowering the lighted specimen.
