16: Collaboration Between Installer and Designer with Kevin Monohan

Kevin Monohan is the owner of Avalon NW a premier landscape installation company in Seattle. We discuss the contractor's perspective on the role of the designer through the installation of a landscape and his evolution of business. Construction is often a very high pace, high-stress endeavor. I found his insight into finding a balance of schedule, services, and crew size to achieve a comfortable balance point inspiring. Kevin and I also discuss the importance of saying no to make yourself available to say yes and building trust by being of value and offering help to colleagues and collaborators. Find out more about Kevin and see his work at www.avalonnw.com and on Instagram. Connected episodes: 6: Work-life balance: Saying no means getting to say Yes!
