WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
In the third-quarter 2012 American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Business Quarterly survey, year-to-year inquiries from new potential clients showed a notable increase while year-to-year billable hours held steady compared to third quarter 2011.
For the third quarter 2012, 71.5 percent of respondents reported stable to improved billable hours, while 74.0 percent reported stable or improved inquiries for new work. While improving year to year for the same period, when compared to the previous quarter, billable hours fell slightly while inquiries improved.
Year to year, 77.8 percent of firms indicated stable to improved third quarter levels in new business inquiries. Additionally, more than three-quarters of respondents (73.9 percent) claimed steady or increased billable hours compared to Q3 2011.
Employment data in Q3 show progress over previous quarters and years. Of all firms with 10 or more employees, 42.4 percent indicated that they would be hiring in the Q4 2012. More than one quarter (26.2 percent) of firms with 10 to 49 employees will be hiring a landscape architect next quarter, either entry-level or experienced.
Though it is still very difficult out there, we are pleased to have an improving employment picture going into the next quarter, says Nancy Somerville, Hon. ASLA, executive vice president and CEO of ASLA. Many firms are deeply concerned about the economy, but these data really show how resilient our profession can be.
Even with the apparent progress in employment, the economy continues to negatively affect landscape architecture firms. An additional question, How concerned is your firm about the economy? revealed that a staggering 95.6 percent of firms are concerned or very concerned about the economy. Even with this apprehension, 64.9 percent of respondents predict an improved business outlook for the next year.
Key Survey Highlights:
Compared to the second quarter 2012, your third quarter 2012 billable hours were: Significantly higher (more than 10%) 11.4% Slightly higher (5 to 10% higher) 29.4% About the same (plus or minus 5%) 30.1% Slightly lower (5 to 10% lower) 13.1% Significantly lower (more than 10%) 15.9 %

Employment Plans Bump Up, and Two-thirds of Landscape Architecture Firm Respondents Predict an Improved Economy in 2013

Rand Park Pavilion in Keokuk garnered an outstanding professional achievement award for landscape architect Kevin Conn, a Keokuk native.
Conn received the Award of Merit in the Design-Build Category from the Iowa Chapter of American Society of Landscape Architects on Oct. 17 during an award banquet in Des Moines.
I think that the recognition is great for the city, said Keokuk Mayor Tom Marion. The pavilion is one of (former mayor) Dave Gudgels premier projects. As far as its notoriety, it does well for Keokuk.
The pavilion was finished in 2009 and has been the venue for a number of well-attended concerts and at least one wedding.
The award is a first for Conn and a first for OPN Architects of Cedar Rapids, where hes worked for more than five years.
Its an honor, Conn said.
The pavilion project, which Conn estimates could be valued at $1 million, is middle-sized in terms of the range of project cost. Others hes worked on have been of greater and lesser expense.
Volunteer work and donations reduced the actual cost of the pavilion to $600,000, he said.

Landscape architect and planner Chris Hart, who made an unsuccessful bid for mayor in 2010 and formerly headed two Maui County departments, died early Monday. He was 71.
Hart, a Wailuku resident, had gone to Oahu to undergo preventative surgery to his aorta at Kaiser Permanente Moanalua Medical Center and Clinic, but he subsequently suffered several strokes that led to his death, according to Jordan Hart, the youngest of his four sons.
Jordan Hart said his father's passing was "definitely not expected" by family members.
Funeral arrangements were pending Monday.
"He was a very kind and generous and thoughtful person," Jordan Hart said.
Hart is survived by his wife, Maria. His other three sons are Matthew, Jon and Andrew. He also leaves four grandchildren.
Maria Hart said she married her husband about a year and a half ago.
"I always call him 'my heart,'" she said. "He's very sweet. He's a very caring man."
Hart's younger sister, Connie Hart of Florida, said that the family was not prepared for his death.
"Chris was a truly great man," she said. "He was a friend to everyone. He was an inspiration, but more importantly he was a father that loved his children.
Excerpt from:
Community planner Chris Hart dies
The San Diego Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects has awarded a $5,000 grant to enhance the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancys Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead site.
A master plan was drawn up pro bono to outline improvements at the historic farmstead in Escondido, one of only a few adobes in the area dating back to the 1870s.
Improvements include building a timber barn for community events that historically re-creates what was on the site and building trailhead parking with ADA access, shade canopies and picnic tables along with amenities, such as a trail bridge and signs for the existing Coast to Crest Trail.
The plan includes planting native trees and shrubs and installing a drip irrigation system for the recently completed peach orchard, planted as part of an Eagle Scout project. Plans also call for growing native grapes propagated from cuttings of 1870s historic vines.
In-Site Landscape Architectures Tim Jachlewski, a licensed landscape architect, worked closely on the master plan with the Sikes museum manager, Anne Cooper, and the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority.
The goal is to increase the historic ambience and replace bare ground and weed-infested areas with native plants and a community garden. The project, scheduled to start early next year, will raise awareness about the work of landscape architects.
The farmhouse, a San Diego historical landmark and a State Point of Historical Interest, was restored in 2004. The wooden farmhouse burned during the 2007 Witch Creek fire, leaving only the adobe walls. The San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority and San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy restored the farmhouse and reopened the museum in 2010. Later the adobe was recognized with a Phoenix Award by San Diego-based Save Our Heritage Organisation.
