Water-wise Irrigation Practice

It's almost fall and a couple folks in our office are gearing up, with the cooler weather, by taking a landscape irrigation auditing class hosted by Ewing Irrigation. Once they pass the exam-(which I have every confidence they will), they will be Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditors. With the pending update of Assembly Bill 1881--we are tuning up our skills to help our clients use less water more efficiently. What better way to end the summer than by getting wet? And they can pass this knowledge along to the rest of us Quadrigans. Have fun Marq and John!

Bill Mastick-thanks!

Bill Mastick has been working night and day at Quadriga this past year, and we wanted to acknowledge him. THANKS BILL! Bill was the ‘catalyst’ that originally brought together the Quadriga partners: Marq Truscott, Philip Frankl, Jane Marx, and Bill. Bill knew, or worked with each one of us, prior to Quadriga’s formation, and the rest is history! When Bill isn’t working-out with his intense exercise regimen, or wrapping his ankles for support for long distance running, he’s at Quadriga managing the Sutter Hospital project, Green Music Center, North Village project, and the SSU University Center. Once in awhile he gets away to practice the highland bagpipes or a game of golf: Favorite local golf course: Mare Island Favorite national course: Chambers Bay Favorite Scottish course: North Berwick
Bill, hope you get that BMW motorcycle, and a day off soon….
