Supply chains are limited and moving slowly, but we are managing to get work done.

It is and interesting time to be a landscaper.

A before and after…

Four yards, four sod jobs, four happy customers

It feels like an exercise in futility. At least for my sidewalks. When snow and ice melts, half the street is under water, including my sidewalk. You and many others may be experiencing similar situations.

However, we still need to do our civic duty and maintain safe walking conditions for the public. This is where phrases, “gross negligence,” and “due diligence,”  may appear.

Apply sand, kitty litter, or some other aggregate to add friction to the ice. Through melting and thawing cycles, grit becomes embedded in the ice.  This shows, “due diligence.”

Doing nothing may show, “gross negligence.”

Caution: Immediately stop shovelling and seek medical attention if you experience:

• Discomfort or heaviness in the chest, arms or neck.
• Unusual or prolonged shortness of breath.
• A prolonged dizzy or faint feeling.
• Excessive sweating or nausea and vomiting.
• Excessive back pain.

We are a well into summer and it is time for an update.

Some fence repairs, sod projects and sidewalk/ paving stone installation. Click on images for enlargements.

Water in your shrubs, trees, and perennials folks. Even during a Chinook.

“In winter, dry conditions can actually be more damaging than the cold itself. Cold winter air is usually quite dry, and winter winds can remove water from plants faster than the roots can absorb it. This is especially true for evergreens, as water evaporates quickly from their foliage.”
