This document outlines common landscape hazards and safety solutions from OSHA. It identifies hazards from ergonomics, motor vehicles, slips/trips/falls, soil preparation, irrigation, hardscape construction, planting, lawn maintenance, tree care and equipment operation. Specific hazards mentioned include cuts, amputations, hearing loss, heat/cold stress, lifting injuries, being struck by objects, eye injuries and electrocution. The document provides solutions like training, personal protective equipment, lifting safely, housekeeping and following standard operating procedures. It emphasizes the importance of guarding equipment, replacing damaged guards, contacting utilities before digging and wearing appropriate eye and face protection.
This document discusses skills needed for landscape maintenance technicians, how to estimate landscape maintenance costs, and advantages and disadvantages of using computer spreadsheets for a landscape business. It identifies key skills like plant identification, irrigation system maintenance, and safe equipment operation. It describes using an estimate sheet to calculate job, overhead, and contingency costs, and adding a 20% profit to determine total project cost. Computer spreadsheets can save time on calculations, provide a professional appearance, and allow cost comparisons, but training and software/equipment costs are disadvantages.
Landscape maintenance includes watering, fertilizing, mulching, pest control, mowing, edging, winterization and pruning plants. Watering should be done frequently when plants are first planted to prevent wilting, then less as plants are established. Fertilizer should be mixed in at planting and added to established plants as needed. Mulch should be replenished as it decays. Pest control prevents damage from insects, diseases and weeds. Pruning improves plant health, appearance and controls size/shape, with timing depending on plant type. A variety of tools are used for different pruning tasks.

Pruning improves plant health, appearance and controls size/shape, with timing depending on plant type. A variety of tools are used for different pruning tasks.
Regular landscape maintenance includes soil testing and amendments, weed control through both chemical and manual methods, pest control, pruning, and irrigation. Proper irrigation is important for plant health and involves choosing a method like drip irrigation that reduces water usage. Pests are best controlled through preventative methods like choosing pest-resistant plants and removing diseased material. Pruning techniques depend on plant type and goals but aim to improve plant form, health, and productivity through practices like thinning branches or shearing hedges.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow, releases endorphins, and promotes changes in the brain which help regulate emotions and stress levels.
