May Updates from Aqua-Flo Supply
It's busy out there!
As we all dig in and tackle the rush, here are some thoughts on getting landscape teams primed for maximum success:
Set priorities. Know what you need to accomplish each day. Try not to firefight too much. Be prepared to say "no" in order to focus on what needs to be done.
Reinforce the positive. High stress can put everyone on edge. Leaders are able to push through challenges. Keep things rolling. Praise good work. Turn small mistakes into chances for improvement.
Let us know how we can support you. Everyone here stands ready to make things happen for you - at our store or in the field.
Reach out to let us know what you need, even if it's just a bit of encouragement on a tough day!

How Great Crew Leaders Make Things Better
A great crew leader can make a big difference in the performance, productivity of their crew. He/she can also have a big influence on good habits like maintaining a neat worksite and clean vehicles.
The best crew leaders:
Lead by example. Bringing great personal habits and work ethic to the site. They model good behavior and honesty.
Pay attention to important details. A good crew leader can spot small issues before they turn into big problems. That helps keep them (and the project) out of trouble!
Offer lots of encouragement and positive thoughts. They share specific feedback with team members and are quick to find what's going right.
Rise to the challenge. They don’t lose their cool, even when dealing with tough situations and difficult customers. They find smart, win-win solutions.
Kichler Fixtures in Centennial Brass - The Luxury that Lasts
Most of the benefits of landscape lighting are associated with nighttime - adding aesthetic appeal to the home and landscape and improving safety and security.
But it's worth pointing out that Kichler Lighting products look great during the day, too. Centennial Brass is a good example. It is one of our most popular finishes - and looks rugged, stylish and luxurious at all hours of the day. The finish is created by dipping the fixture in a chemical bath, which causes a chemical reaction. It is not coated or painted. Then follows a buffing process to bring out the gold and brown highlights of the brass. The cast brass material is solid and durable, and it will maintain an attractive appearance in any climate or environment.
GRACEFUL AGING You want your fixtures to last, not break down after just a couple years. Not only are Kichler® Centennial Brass fixtures durable, but they actually get more attractive with age. Each brass product develops a patina over time, adding beauty and character to its distinctive design. How your fixture ages depend on your climate and environment - some get darker, while others develop a patina like on the Statue of Liberty. Brass resists corrosion so these lights will look great for years to come.
WIDE CHOICE The classic Centennial Brass finish is available on a broad range of fixtures, ranging from in-ground and accent lights to decorative hanging lights perfect for outdoor kitchens.
