The pages beyond have specials and promotions we negotiate with other local venders in our  local community.  This month we are offering desert on us for two of our clients at Kool Beans Café of which are made by artist Sylvia Gould and yes they are works of art to your taste buds .   The first two clients to claim them will get the $10 dollar gift cards.  And don't forget to check back from time to time for we will be updating them as we get them.  Also we would like to hear your feedback on other promotions  you are interested in and local venders you would like to see represented. So give us your ideas.  

Thanks

I had a great time on this year's Landscaper of the Year Awards Cruise. We place top in our group-Southeast and third overall. The winner was a very creative company out of Michigan; whom travel all over the country doing old European style gardens.  They do some very beautiful work indeed.  While on the cruise we took part in the round table discussion and had a lot of information to share with our 20 year plus in the business.  The best advice for business we took away from the discussion was summed up in three words-faith, passion, and relationships. 

        During the Ports of Call we got to go on a private tour of the Atlantis Resort.  The resort manager told us about the concerns of running such a resort on a small island nation as the Bahamas, some of his adjectives made me laugh for I could relate to his frustrations.  One very interesting project they had been working on was their water reclamation project.  Water usage is a huge expense to the resort in both taxes and energy to run the desalination plant.  By reworking their drainage system to catch the runoff and the excess water from the irrigation system they are able to save $5000 a year and they have only done one small area of the resort.  Now that is a savings and a very good example of how recycling can save money in the long run.

      While there I did want to learn more about how a high end resort keeps it color year around looking like it had always been therefore all those guests coming and going.  I knew how Disney did it in the parks but Disney is larger and we did have down time from the time the park closed and reopened in the morning.  However my answer was not anything different.  They shut down certain walkways and do the work at sunrise while most of the guest are sleeping.   I did learn to my surprise that they spend between about 250 thousand a year on new plants and flowers just to keep things looking their best.

Yep!  With the help of Pavestone we are bringing back the holiday special this year.  We are offering a $100 gift card for anybody signing up for a paver patio of 100 square feet or more. In fact for every 100 feet you have us install you get an additional $100 gift card. You can use it to buy a new grill for that patio or furniture to celebrate in.  It is a great opportunity and is only good till the end of the month.  So sign up before January 1st to take full advantage of this great deal.  Projects must be signed before January 1st and will be scheduled between January and February 28th. Once those times have been booked we will no longer be able to offer this promotion.  Thanks and have a Merry Christmas.
