from Landscape Live's tracks · host North Coast Media
Our host Jody Shilan debates Brad Groff, the co-founder of River Valley Landscape and Pools in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, on opposing design/build philosophies. The question is: How little or how much information should be included in your landscape plans and proposals?Brad and Jody have debated this topic, along with other members of the LinkedIn Landscape Design/Build Group, but this will be the first time they take it "on-air."Groff is the co-owner of River Valley Landscapes and Pools, which he started with Doug Caldwell during the spring break of their senior year at Delaware Valley College in 1991. River Valley has award-winning projects published nationally, regionally, and locally. Although Groff is proud of all these accomplishments, he is most proud of developing a team and processes that allows him to help oversee a $4 million business and still be home by 5:00 p.m. Most recently Groff decided to share his most valuable management tool, co-founding CAPAX which produces “Schedule 2 Win” software.
