Landscape Industry Certified Manager
John Eckhardt
The Landscape Industry Certified Manager program is an internationally recognized, industry-developed designation that sets and maintains standards for business management in the landscape industry. By becoming a Landscape Industry Certified Manager, each individual has undergone an exhaustive written examination that tests knowledge, skills and theory required to run a successful company. A high level of excellence is required to pass each section of the exam, meaning that even the most experienced person must demonstrate mastery of the topic areas. Once certified, the individual must continue to upgrade their skills through a mandatory continuing education program. Landscape Industry Certified Managers can usually be found as the owner/operator or manager of the companies in all sectors of landscaping. By establishing a high level of professionalism at the top, excellence flows through the rest of the company and it’s operations. So the next time you’re planning a landscape project, insist that they have Landscape Industry Certified Individuals on staff, because they are more than qualified, they’re certified.
CNLA’s certification programs are internationally recognized and nationally supported.
Objectives of Certification:
- To raise the standards of the industry
- To encourage self-assessment by offering guidelines for achievement
- To identify persons with acceptable knowledge of principles and practices
- To award recognition to those who have demonstrated a high level of competence
- To improve performance within the industry by encouraging participation in a continuing program of professional development

The AquaPave® Permeable On-Site Stormwater Source Control System is an important first effort to reduce excess stormwater runoff quantities and improve water quality.
The AquaPave® system allows commonly recurring rainstorms to infiltrate through a permeable concrete pavingstone surface into a clear crushed open-graded aggregate base before being released into storm sewers or watercourses. Known as permeable interlocking concrete pavement, the system acts as an infiltration facility for the storage, treatment, and improvement of released water.
