An over 20-year veteran in the green industry, John works with salespeople and homeowners associations throughout the state of Florida to better understand customer needs and industry trends. “A huge problem in this field is that knowledge goes and dies with whoever the maintenance team is on-site,” John explains, referring to the lack of information sharing and transparency between independent contractors and homeowners associations. Juniper Landscaping hopes to break this trend using DroneDeploy, by creating this pivotal information (3D models, maps, and more) for their clients. “We’re willing to pay to see that drone use is the wave of the future,” John states.":1,"#Juniper Landscaping is now able to fly multiple locations with multiple pilots, something they could not have achieved internally.

In a sometimes-technology-averse industry, this was no easy task – especially with no examples from which to draw. After joining DroneDeploy in May 2019, Juniper Landscaping reduced their time spent on properties from weeks to hours.

With any pipeline, corrosion can cause leaks and constitute a significant risk.

In this region, produced water has a particularly high level of salinity. A leak from an underground pipe can spell disaster for nearby farms and properties. Saltwater kills vegetation, including row crops. Produced water leaks usually aren’t detected until there is plant kill-off.":1,"#A leak from an underground pipe can spell disaster for nearby farms and properties.":1,"#Not all pipelines transport oil or gas.
