Hi Shannon,
Thank you for the information. I think the Board has begun to recognize the potential need to pay more for a stronger landscaping company to manage their grounds.
________ I think has been effective, but the Board has recalled the service from Blade Runners as being a higher tier. There is not currently a guarantee they will cancel with _______, but they are seriously considering a change. A lot of it will depend I think on them. ….
I know that provides a lot of uncertainty, but I wanted to just give you insight into where they are.
Best,

See Why Blade Runners is a “Higher Tier” and its much more then cost. See the difference here:

Differences with ________ & Blade Runners…  
Their pricing for snow service is OUTRAGEOUS. We spent over $100K for the mild winter in 2022 and had to raise HOA dues.
Ther landscape team did not have the same attention to detail. Owner complaints more than doubled. Areas not mowed, shrubs not trimmed well. Wrong plants installed. Poor communication and slow to remedy their errors.
We terminated the contract and returned to Blade Runners.

Hi Amy,

I was out of town this last week and I just got back in town. So I was FINALLY able to see the backyard and the front yard and what the guys did – IT LOOKS FABULOUS!! Thank you so incredibly much. I can’t wait to see the Azaleas and the bush grow and flourish in the front and I didn’t realize the guys would place mulch in the back – it was a really nice surprise!
In short though, I can’t thank you and the whole crew at Blade Runners enough for the beautiful work they did. Please pass on my compliments and thanks to all the crew members who worked on my yard. I really appreciate all that they did and all that you did to help with this project!
Have a blessed week Amy and I’m sure I’ll reach out in the future for any projects I might have in the future. 
Thank you kindly!

Lauren

Good afternoon, Andy:

I hope you and yours are doing well. As you know, Blade Runner has been working on several landscaping projects recently throughout Oakland Hall. You’ve been helping us for a few years now, and your work has always been very professional, your staff courteous and attentive to detail.

This past week, however, the work of Mr. Julio Amaya and Mr. Melvin Ventura merits special recognition for going above and beyond expectations. The new plant beds have well-defined edges and symmetry. Certain bushes have been removed and certain trees planted with utmost care. And both gentlemen have been courteous to (I am sad to say) often impertinent and inconsiderate residents.

The stonework completed by Mr. Amaya and Mr. Ventura is remarkable. It is both practical and beautiful, geometry and art, and something only highly skilled craftsmen can accomplish. I hope you have a chance to see their work the next time you visit. I hope you will let them know how grateful we are for their work ethic and for their contribution to our community.

As for the work they completed on Ticer Drive, both gentlemen turned an eyesore into a welcoming garden, not an easy feat.

Thank you very, very much.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth —-

Hi Terry –

As you know we had two crews on the property this week for lots of work.  I want to complement the crews for the quick and efficient service.  They were also very respectful and helpful to individual homeowners who approached them.

Please let Eric and the crews know, we are a pleased customer.  

Winnie P….

 

Please know that the crews on the property last week were great!  They were here early, worked hard all day and did a great job of cleaning up every evening. And the crew was polite to everyone.  

I will defer to Winnie, but I wanted to touch base with you since you followed up with us.

Judy

Hello Shannon, thank you so much for the tree pruning work that was done by your crew last week.  It’s wonderful to see some sunlight on ground beneath the cherry trees!  Big improvement for all the pruned trees. Your crew is amazing.  They worked so hard getting this projects done. They did a great job, we could not ask for better.  Also, they meticulously cleaned everything before they left. Thank you!!

Mr Reed, 

Thank you for bringing my watch to my address. Please give my regards to the landscape team, especially the guy who found it and picked it up. He turned it in. Tell all and the guys who dropped it off, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was a special gift and meant so much to recovery it.

I appreciate  the honesty of the team/ guy who found it and turned it in. Its nice to know people are willing to return items. Thank you again, I’m so happy to have it back
