Why should you join the CLCA?

BENEFITS

The association's state and local activities provide members with a forum for open discussion, networking and learning. The association provides a large menu of services to its members including educational resources, contract forms, educational events, publicity, access to legal consultants and peer advice, group insurance, political advocacy, information, a landscape awards program, a certification program for landscape technicians, and an industry trade show.

PUBLIC SIGNIFICANCE

Contractor members are state licensed and meet all requirements for consumer protection. CLCA therefore educates the consumer about the dangers of hiring unlicensed contractors and maintains an Operation Helping Hand Program to encourage and help unlicensed individuals become licensed landscape contractors.

CLCA is an active force in the statewide effort to conserve water. As water-efficient irrigation experts, many members are invaluable sources for consultations on planning and installing water-saving irrigation systems. CLCA also conducts an active public information program on landscape water management.

There are many reasons to join the CLCA/Central Coast Chapter. We invite you to come to a dinner meeting or reach out to a board member if you have any questions about what we do and why we’d like you to do it with us.
