Brian Boyd, WNC’s Certified Irrigation Specialist

Posted on March 2, 2016 by Gina

WNC Landscaping boasts one of only a select few individuals in the entire state of North Carolina for being CERTIFIED as an Irrigation Specialist. Brian Boyd, landscape designer, received his certification from the North Carolina Irrigation Contractors’ Licensing Board in 2011 and maintains educational credits and status as a certified irrigation contractor in our state.

The North Carolina Irrigation Contractors’ Licensing Board was established by legislation which became effective January 1, 2009. The board oversees the licensing of Irrigation Contractors in North Carolina. The purpose of licensure is to protect the public health, safety and welfare and to promote the efficient use of water. The new licensure law became effective on June 30 2009. The Board operates as an independent entity under the North Carolina Governor’s Office. For more information, visit: http://www.nciclb.org/ According to the licensure law, no person shall engage in the practice of irrigation construction or contracting, use the designation ‘irrigation contractor’, or advertise using any title or description that implies licensure as an irrigation contractor unless the person is licensed as an irrigation contractor. All irrigation construction or contracting performed by an individual, partnership, association, corporation, firm, or other group shall be under the direct supervision of an individual licensed by the Board. Brian participated in rigorous courses, exams and practice with the North Carolina Irrigation Contractors’ Licensing Board to receive his certification. As one of the only certified irrigation contractors in all of western North Carolina, safety and security in irrigation work rests in his hands.

WNC Landscaping & Christmas Trees Welcomes Students

Posted on July 15, 2015 by admin

On Thursday, July 9, 2015, WNC Landscaping had a wonderful and welcomed visit from the summer camp students at Clyde Elementary School in Clyde, NC.

The young people ranged in ages from five to twelve and were led by Brandy Hyatt Littrell, After School and Summer Camp Coordinator (and former student of Mr. Boyd) and several other adult leaders. The students were pleasant, attentive and asked wonderful questions despite it being a hot July day.

Students learned about the Fraser fir trees grown by WNC Landscaping & Christmas trees and how these trees are an important part of agriculture and economy in Haywood County and in North Carolina. The students examined young tree seedlings up to mature trees ready for harvest in the late fall. WNC Landscaping & Christmas trees had the students investigate the field and the trees and were encouraged to ask any questions that came to mind. A favorite question asked by one young lady was, “what colors do the trees grow?” One very bright young man inquired as to what kind of seeds are on the trees and how do we get the seeds to grow into trees.

The minds of these young men and women were amazing to watch and we encourage any of them to come back and visit as well as to look into agriculture and farming in North Carolina, especially in our home of Haywood County.
