Cheering Up Visitors to SSM Cardinal Glennon

July 13th, 2017

There is a lot of stress associated with visiting a hospital. You are either a patient, a family member of a patient or loved one, or a guest visiting a doctor, nurse or administrator. As the landscape maintenance contractor for SSM Cardinal Glennon, we always are mindful of how the landscaping could influence how people feel as they visit the hospital. We take a lot of pride in keeping the grounds attractive and beautiful. Does this sounds easy? Well, there are some challenges, like helicopters landing and taking off, tons of traffic, and lots of patients and families coming and going. And, at a children’s hospital, gum is a real battle.

Here are some pictures we took the other day at Cardinal Glennon. While we were taking the pictures, a lady stopped us and asked if we were the landscapers. When we said that ‘yes, we were’, she said ‘I come here regularly and I wanted you to know how uplifting your flowers are for me. I feel better just walking into the hospital.’ Thanks to this nice lady for expressing herself and how the beautiful landscaping makes her day nicer. And, an even bigger thanks goes to SSM for allowing us to be a part of how they look.

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.

– Natalie S.

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.
