Special Greeting 2012 »

February 2012

A Special Greeting!

Thirty-six years!  We’ve seen a lot happen in this area and around the world in the last three plus decades.  One thing remains constant and that is our commitment to providing the best in complete landscaping.

You are among the chosen to receive this pre-public invitation to schedule your spring landscape service needs with our company.  Winter can be harsh on existing shrubs and trees, so it may be time to schedule to mend those landscape items to maintain aesthetics, health and value. 

Some of you may have been thinking of a new landscape, patio or other outdoor improvement over the cooler months.  Things change and you may even have moved.  Whatever the circumstances, why not give us a call to discuss what’s on your mind?

Schedule prior to March 2, 2012 and receive up to a $250 discount on any scheduled work.  We will apply a 25% discount on the first $1,000 as a reward for scheduling before we release advertising to the general public. 

25% Discount on first $1,000.00
up to a $250.00 value

These price incentives will expire at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 2, 2012.  Don’t delay – Let’s get together and see what lovely landscapes we can dream up or liven up. 

We are extending this offer to you readers of my blog.  Please remember us for the winter items needing attention on your property such as pre-emergent treatment, fertilizing, liming, mulching, fruit tree pruning and planting of larger trees while they are dormant. 

Here’s wishing you the best of complete landscaping for 2012,
Scott

I am including a special passage from one of my favorite books entitled “Desire of Ages” for your enjoyment:

 “There is no leaf of the forest, or lowly blade of grass, but has its ministry.  Every tree and shrub and leaf pours forth that element of life without which neither man nor animal could live; and man and animal, in turn, minister to the life of tree and shrub and leaf.  The flowers breathe fragrance and unfold their beauty in blessing to the world.  The sun sheds its light to gladden a thousand worlds.  The ocean, itself the source of all our springs and fountains, receives the streams from every land, but takes to give.  The mists ascending from its bosom fall in showers to water the earth, that it may bring forth and bud.” DA 20, 21

Fall Is A Time For Planting »

The tag "Fall is For Planting" continues to ring true. If you are one of those who has put off planting for one reason or another, fall can be a great time to capitalize on your previous procrastination.  Large trees seem to do better when planted in the fall after frost has sparked the dormancy cycle. Planting of shrubbery in early fall requires less watering and care than spring/summer planting as there is less competition from the turf as less hot drying days. Watering is still important as the plantings need to store up reserves for the drying winter winds, especially the evergreens. Much root growth is concentrated in the fall. Next spring will yield a smile for your efforts now as your new plantings emerge respective to the benefits of the micro climate at their new home. Lawn plantings also get best results in this area if expedited prior to October 15.
