Landscape business blooms in tough times - Puget Sound Business Journal (Seattle):
andreychukuze.blogspot.com
But in Adkins is not only doing well, it has been thrivinfg since therecession began. Travis Burns, owner of Burns Nursery, says his retail sales have climbee 35 percent since the start ofthe recession. He credits this growtnh to the fact that more peoplre are now staying home and investing in theire own yards rather than going onexpensiv vacations. “The economy has really helped Burns says. “People want to fix theid place up. More people than ever are staying home and doingg landscaping and putting invegetable gardens.
” Burns says his business has grownj steadily over the last five years sincde he added the retail segment to his successful commerciall landscaping business, but the company has seen a huge impactt on the retail side this past One reason the nursery has done so well, Burnd says, is because it makese a point of reaching out to do-it-yourselfers people who want to do most of the work themselved but need a little help getting started. “Thisw is not a typical nursery,” Burnzs says. People walking into Burn Nursery will see many design elements on displah including nine differentwater features.
The nurseryt is laid out much like a botanical gardeh and Burns says this is done to help showcase the work that is done by the buildiny and design segment of his Having both a retail and a design business in the same locatiojn makes Burns Nursery a great placefor do-it-yourselfers to go for Burns says. “We know the word gets arounrd about how uniquewe are,” he “We have the ability to take somebodu into our office and whip up a landscape desigj for them. We are not afraid to go the extrqa milefor them.
” Travis Burns launched his landscaping businesse about 15 years ago shortly after he decided to hang up his spursa following a six-year career as a rodeo bull A native of Adkins, Burns grew up in a rodeok family and attended Howard Junior College in Big Spring on a rodeop scholarship. He became a professional bull rider in 1988 at age 18 and traveleed the rodeo circuit for the nextsix years. He decidedx to give up bull riding aftet he was seriously hurt following a bull ride that left him with a punctured lung and atorn liver. “I was smarty enough to decide right then that I was not going to get back Burns recalls.
“There is not a day goes by thatI don’tt miss it, but when I was laying therde in the dirt with tubes comintg out of me I knew it was over.” Burns says of bull ridinvg that it is not a questioj of “if” someone will get hurt but and “how bad.” After leaving the rodeio circuit in 1994, Burns got a job with a divisio n of in San Antonio. While working he began doing landscape projects on the side and by 1999 it had growmn to the point where he was able to quit his job with Ford and go into the landscape design businessfull time. Today, Burns Nursert employs 40 people and brought inaboutt $3.2 million in revenue last year.
The nurserh is located at 13893 Highway 87 East in Adkins whichu is due east of downtown San Antonipo and just outside ofLoop 1604. The property sits on nine acres of land and is housed ina 9,000-square-foof building that was once a social club some 40 yearsz ago. Burns says he knew abouyt the property when he was growing up and decidecd to purchase it from GraceBiblwe Church. The church had owned the building for aboutf five years before agreeing to sell it toBurnas Nursery. Burns previously focused his business on the commercia construction and design side up until fiveyears ago.
since branching out, the company has been able to pick up landscapingt and hardscaping jobs throughout South Texas and the TexasHill Country. The company specializes in puttintg in water features such as pondw andwater gardens, but also builds decks and patioa and installs sprinkler systems and outdoor lighting. Burns says he likea to hold social activities at the nursert in the evenings so that he can show off how well landscaps lighting can make theplace look. He regularlt has wine and cheese parties at the complete with ajazz band. Burns Nursery also conducts numerous seminars and classesfor do-it-yourselfers.
This the company will invite experts to give talkd and demonstrations on topics like organic gardeninhgand birdwatching. “If we can get peoplew to come out and see the kinds of things that they can do it will just encourag them to do more business with Burns says. “We can help set them up and give them directionsx andsome discounts. Lots of nurseriexs won’t take those extra steps, but it has helped our business
But in Adkins is not only doing well, it has been thrivinfg since therecession began. Travis Burns, owner of Burns Nursery, says his retail sales have climbee 35 percent since the start ofthe recession. He credits this growtnh to the fact that more peoplre are now staying home and investing in theire own yards rather than going onexpensiv vacations. “The economy has really helped Burns says. “People want to fix theid place up. More people than ever are staying home and doingg landscaping and putting invegetable gardens.
” Burns says his business has grownj steadily over the last five years sincde he added the retail segment to his successful commerciall landscaping business, but the company has seen a huge impactt on the retail side this past One reason the nursery has done so well, Burnd says, is because it makese a point of reaching out to do-it-yourselfers people who want to do most of the work themselved but need a little help getting started. “Thisw is not a typical nursery,” Burnzs says. People walking into Burn Nursery will see many design elements on displah including nine differentwater features.
The nurseryt is laid out much like a botanical gardeh and Burns says this is done to help showcase the work that is done by the buildiny and design segment of his Having both a retail and a design business in the same locatiojn makes Burns Nursery a great placefor do-it-yourselfers to go for Burns says. “We know the word gets arounrd about how uniquewe are,” he “We have the ability to take somebodu into our office and whip up a landscape desigj for them. We are not afraid to go the extrqa milefor them.
” Travis Burns launched his landscaping businesse about 15 years ago shortly after he decided to hang up his spursa following a six-year career as a rodeo bull A native of Adkins, Burns grew up in a rodeok family and attended Howard Junior College in Big Spring on a rodeop scholarship. He became a professional bull rider in 1988 at age 18 and traveleed the rodeo circuit for the nextsix years. He decidedx to give up bull riding aftet he was seriously hurt following a bull ride that left him with a punctured lung and atorn liver. “I was smarty enough to decide right then that I was not going to get back Burns recalls.
“There is not a day goes by thatI don’tt miss it, but when I was laying therde in the dirt with tubes comintg out of me I knew it was over.” Burns says of bull ridinvg that it is not a questioj of “if” someone will get hurt but and “how bad.” After leaving the rodeio circuit in 1994, Burns got a job with a divisio n of in San Antonio. While working he began doing landscape projects on the side and by 1999 it had growmn to the point where he was able to quit his job with Ford and go into the landscape design businessfull time. Today, Burns Nursert employs 40 people and brought inaboutt $3.2 million in revenue last year.
The nurserh is located at 13893 Highway 87 East in Adkins whichu is due east of downtown San Antonipo and just outside ofLoop 1604. The property sits on nine acres of land and is housed ina 9,000-square-foof building that was once a social club some 40 yearsz ago. Burns says he knew abouyt the property when he was growing up and decidecd to purchase it from GraceBiblwe Church. The church had owned the building for aboutf five years before agreeing to sell it toBurnas Nursery. Burns previously focused his business on the commercia construction and design side up until fiveyears ago.
since branching out, the company has been able to pick up landscapingt and hardscaping jobs throughout South Texas and the TexasHill Country. The company specializes in puttintg in water features such as pondw andwater gardens, but also builds decks and patioa and installs sprinkler systems and outdoor lighting. Burns says he likea to hold social activities at the nursert in the evenings so that he can show off how well landscaps lighting can make theplace look.

Medical providers worried by proposed Medicaid rate cuts - bizjournals:
caloloary.blogspot.com
A proposal from a House appropriations subcommittee for healthg and human services releasecd this week would eliminate an annuaol inflation adjustment to physician payments and furthef reduce reimbursement ratesby 5.5 perceng this year and 6 percent next The rate cut alone would equal $148 millioj less in state funds goint to doctors during the fiscal year that begins July 1. Medicaid is a federap program that provides health insuranceto low-incomes children, parents and seniors as well as the States share about a quarter of the so a reduction in state funds wouldd also mean about $444 million less from federal matching fundxs in fiscal 2010.
Exact estimates for the Triad were unavailable, but basedx on the region’s share of Medicaird dollars inpast years, the rate cut alone coule mean local providers will receiver about $92 million less this year. The federalk stimulus program also includes provisions for extra Medicaid paymentseto states. But those too, are based on matching state andthe N.C. Medical Society is concerneed that slashingthe state’s Medicaid budget could jeopardize that money as “We’re sensitive to the fact that the budgef has to be balanced,” said Carolynm Green, practice administrator at Piedmont Senior Care in Greensboro.
“But they’re taking away from the people who can leasytafford it. Hospitals, physicians and Medicaide patients are all goingto suffer, because doctorxs are going to stop seeing and the hospitals will be the ones who see an even biggert share of indigent The move comes as legislators are grappling with a $4.6 billionm overall state budget deficit, and nearluy every department is bracing for cuts, from higher education to publix schools to roads and the arts.
While interesf groups representing all areas of state spending have lobbied to maintain theie share of the budget or tominimiz cuts, legislators have warned that no portion of the budget can be sparedx given such a massive budget shortfall. “There are devastatin g cuts all overthe it’s awful,” said Rep. Pricey a Democrat from Greensbori who is vice chairman of the Housrappropriations committee, but did not serve on the health “It’s a pretty universally sharecd sentiment that the budget is pretty draconian.
” Just the doctors, dentists, hospitals, hospice groups, home health agenciew and other providers are concerned the proposedd cuts could also come as the recessionh is forcing more and more patients to seek Medicaidf assistance. The N.C. Medical for example, has urged its memberxs to draw a straight line between Medicaif payments anda community’s overall economic health when lobbyinfg legislators. “A lot of money paid to providers is used forpersonneo salaries,” said Mike Edwards, a spokesman for the “The effect of the cuts would be and you would see a loss of local spendingf and economic activity.
” The Medicaid populatiob in the state and Triad has risen steadily each year sincs 1999, due in part to overal l population growth. But the rise has become more dramatix in the pasttwo years. Stevwe Owen, chief business operating officer forthe N.C. Divisioh of Medical Assistance, said the Medicaid rolls had been growing about 3 percenta year, but they grew nearlh 7 percent in fiscal 2009 and will likelhy be up more than 8 percent in fiscal 2010. It’w a function, Owen said, of the recession causing more people to meetthe low-incoms requirements for assistance. Doctors say they’rwe already taking a loss when they seeMedicaidx patients.
Medicaid in North Carolina pays 95 percent of what each countyy sets for paying bills associatedwith Medicare, the otherd federal insurance program for seniors. Yet doctors argue that Medicare reimbursementsalso aren’t enoughn to cover their true costs of care. North Carolina’s Medicaid reimbursement rate is amonfg the highest inthe nation, but Mary Ellen Workman, administratore at in Greensboro, said that should be a sourcre of pride and should sway legislators to maintaib payment levels. “It’s about takingb care of your poorest citizen s inNorth Carolina,” she “If you start letting your health care erodde like that, it just creates more problems.
Access to care is goingb to be ahuge issue.” Workman said physician practices acrosz the state are already limiting how many Medicaie patients they will accept. As a result, thoser patients may have nowhere to go exceptg localemergency rooms, which are already overflowing with uninsurede patients causing millions of dollarzs in losses for hospitals. Joanne vice president of governmenrt affairsat , said the reimbursement rate cut coul also be coupled with other proposals to cut servicesa or increase the co-payu required of Medicaid That, in turn, couldr cause those low-income patients to put off care and wait unti l they require more expensive treatment.
“We are already bearinyg the cost of thiseconomic crisis,” Ruhland said. “And then we’re facec with a situation where these patients come to us later on withadditional problems. We have to let our (legislators) know so they understand how this cuts into our abilit y to take care of the poor in our regio andour state.”
