Although you don’t see us on your property as often these days, be assured we are still working hard. We are heading into another busy season when fall clean-ups will be taking up most of our time. But, there is also much work to be done on properties and in the shop before the snow comes.
While we wait for the leaves to come down, we are still busy doing fall plantings, reseeding lawns, testing soil, performing fall pruning, closing down irrigation systems, cleaning and storing our tools, and getting our trucks and equipment ready for the winter.
In anticipation of this upcoming busy season, we took some time off for fun and team-building by holding our annual Family & Friends OctoberFest last Saturday. It was a beautiful autumn afternoon with a lot of fun and laughter. In addition to the great food, drink, and live band, we even held our first official corn hole tournament! -Shayne
