About Us

For more than 50 years, the California Landscape Contractors Association’s (CLCA) Los Angeles/San Gabriel Valley (LA/SGV) chapter has been serving its member contractors’ interests while concurrently investing in education and communication to advance the industry’s professionalism. Drawing upon its established past and current influence, today’s LA/SGV chapter provides a unified voice for its more than 250 “green industry” members, which include C-27 licensed landscape contractors, material suppliers, landscape designers, educators, and students.

As California’s most diverse chapter, the LA/SGV chapter counts among its past presidents four women, five African-Americans, seven Latinos and eight Asians. Additionally eight CLCA state presidents have come from the LA/SGV chapter’s membership, including the only two women to serve as CLCA’s state president, Rose Marie Head and Barbara Alvarez. In 1999, two LA/SGV members, Barbara Alvarez and Warren Gorowitz, were respectively named Regular Member of the Year and Associate Member of the Year.
