Snow Season Coming to An End

February 26th, 2016

The popularity of our snow warning email to all customers has received very favorable comments. Our clients really appreciate our communication regarding expected conditions and our plans or pre-treatment and treatment. We try to wait until the very end before the storm starts, but still soon enough for a heads up. Quite a few customers have commented on enjoying the bantering between Jeremy and myself …. they said we reminded them of “that friendly old couple we know”. You have to get along like a married couple when you’re looking at forecasting radars at 1:00 in the morning. Sadly, Jeremy enjoys doing just that and it makes for a very lively one sided conversation that starts out with – “Hey Tom, come look at the pretty colors swirling on the computer screen”. Some nights I just want to go play in traffic.

This has also been a very safe season for our employees, which is our highest priority. Required attendance at our weekly safety meetings have contributed to the safety record we enjoy and add to the overall success of our company.

This snow season appears to be winding down. But what a difference a year makes! The first snow event day of last season was November 15, 2014 and ended 35 events later, on March 2, 2015. Compare those dates to this snow season and we find the first snow event wasn’t even in 2015, but on January 9 of this year, and there have been only 12 event days so far. This winter will be known as the snow season where the season ended and everyone’s budget had money left in it.

Dear Jen,

Just wanted to thank you again for all your hard work, efforts and great ideas with my landscaping!! It was so fun to work with you and the crew! I’m already trying to think of more areas that might need some changing!! And thank you for the “Drinking Gourd” Hosta and Astilbe. I will always think of you when I look at them. Thanks.

We had an excellent experience working with SFP. Our designer, Karen, came up with spectacular ideas that exceeded our expectations, and then worked with us (and our budget) to turn those ideas into a beautiful and functional design for our backyard. She was willing to answer many questions and make several changes until we were completely set on a design, brought her team out to ensure the grading and drainage issues would be corrected, and created a beautiful space for us to enjoy. The team was professional, friendly, and tidy. They did an excellent job from start to finish, and clearly took pride in their work, as evidenced by the hours they spent ensuring every rock was placed perfectly. I’m excited to work with Karen and SFP in the future to do our front yard!

Dear Jen,

Just a note to thank you again for all you’ve done for me. Your sparkling personality, your design knowledge has turned what was a disaster into a livable solution. The yard is great and the space between the houses will be fine. I am so-o-o-o grateful. I prayed for a miracle and I got one! I hope SFP Landscaping appreciates what an asset they have in you.

Karen and SFP Landscaping did a redesign of part of our back yard to help us manage storm water runoff and attract and help pollinators using native plants. She listened to my vision and did not insist on her own. She waited patiently until the right time for the project and then started with the appropriate plantings for fall and winter. She included me in her master plant plan and I knew just what to expect. She followed up in the spring, planted appropriate plants, put in sod, re dug some of the rain garden and checked back and checked back and checked back. I would work with Karen and SFP again without hesitation and I recommend them without reservation.

Tom,

My mother-in-laws place looks great. Better yet, she is over-the-moon with how the yard looks. Thank you!

– Babette G.

It has been a pleasure working with you and I am looking forward to the continuation of our project.

We love our new landscaping-front and back! It is delightful watching the birds, bees & butterflies enjoying the new blooms! Jen, Eric & their hard working crews were knowledgeable and persistent in tackling some tough issues to complete the job. It’s always a pleasure to have your crews working at our home! Thank you so much.

– Mark and Patti B.

Karen, Salvador, and the team were excellent to work with as we built a new detached garage and landscaped our backyard. They had excellent ideas for Missouri native plants and drainage solutions to account for slope and rainwater. Always so responsive and creative. Highly recommend.

Tell the fellas thank you for the good job they did with my grass. I’m grateful for the extra time they took in picking up those nasty silk worms from the oak trees. Much appreciated!

– Lorraine S.

Great Job!! Your designer and crew did a great job. They were very professional and I enjoyed working with them. Thank you for a job well done.

We have used SFP Landscaping for large projects such as pool patio/waterfall design and installation as well as smaller jobs like choosing, placing and planting trees in our back yard. They have done an amazing job on each of these! Kerman Raine’s design work is really top notch with great videos that allow the customer to see exactly what they are signing up for. The finished projects are as beautiful as the videos! The workmanship is excellent. They come when they are scheduled, complete work quickly and stand by the work that they have done. We recommend them to everyone because we have had so many outstanding experiences with the company.
