Lanelle –  

I am actually writing to you with a positive comment.  I am between meetings tonight and the first meeting featured a blade runners fan club meeting.  The community has had it struggles financially but decided to contract with Blade Runners and quite honestly, I have never heard a board or community produce this type of accolades for a snow removal company or landscape firm.  You were out at the community today and they were all happy to see you – and all agreed that you have done a great job on the snow – and I had to chime in as well letting them know that I get excellent communication from the company about landscape or snowscape matters. 

Thanks again for doing a great job for my community and helping me to look good.  I wanted to share with you the positive comments because we often live in the land of complaints! 

Pat yourself on the back and thank everyone on your team.

Best regards,

Kris

Hi Lanelle,  As you can see I have forwarded your email to our new board members.  I’m sure you will hear from one of them soon regarding how they want to establish ongoing contact with you. 
You have been great to work with Lanelle, and have always done your level best without fail to assist us in any way you can.
No doubt in my mind that Blade runners is the best!!!!
Best to you, stay well,  Genny

While I’m thinking about it, J– B–, Grounds Committee Chair for TOMCA, was singing Blade Runners’ praises at last night’s annual meeting. Per J–, the grounds look much better since the switch to Blade Runners. She noted that the crews do a good job weeding and edging, that she’s noticed a decrease in the number of weeds in the grassy areas, and that the aeration/seeding appear to be working. She also said that Blade Runners is very responsible if they’re made aware of an issue.

Kudos!

Thank you Shannon. We don’t meet as a group until January, so thats when we’d decide on adding any other expenses to the contract. 

I’ll forward this to our other board members so I can sign the contract this week and get it back to you. 
The property looks great. Just about all the residents have said something about how much they like the way things look now. 
Thanks, EdD

Shannon,

You all have been terrific. Thanks for your response.

Did you know that Blade Runners has a Full Service Tree Department?  As apart of that service we use our commercial tree chipper and generate Natural Tree Chips, and these can be a GREAT Benefit to your property!  

Do you have areas on your property that are a challenge and don’t know how to address, we can help. 

These areas could be:

  • Wood-line, under story or Natural wooded Areas
  • Areas under trees that can not grow grass and have erosion or eroded areas
  • Areas where you want to protect tree roots

Blade Runners can use the natural wood tree chips from our Tree Department and help improve these areas naturally.  Applying a layer of natural wood chips can help reduce runoff, protect tree roots, reduce undergrowth.  Turn a negative into a positive on your property!! 

Before and After Under Canopy & Tree Root Protection

Before Tree Chip Install      After Tree Chip Install

Wooded areas on your property that are covered in ivy or other aggressive ground cover, can promote poison ivy growth and can even give an area for snakes and rats to live and hide.  These areas can look over grown and decrease property values. Applying a layer of natural wood chips can clean up the area and give it a more finished but natural look.

Not only does the reuse of the tree chips on site help in these areas improve the site but it is a smart environmental move and is a benefit and adds protection and natural nutrients to your property.

Are you thinking about having tree work done?  Why not combine the work and add creating tree chip beds to the scope of work.

Line Trimmers are a great piece of equipment! They save countless hours of time compared to manual trimming methods. As a result, property owners save valuable budget dollars on the cost of their service.

It can be a real challenge for contractors to avoid damage on items that are not protected. Blade Runners does take extra measures with training and even uses growth regulator products to reduce damage. We also warn our clients in our contracts that we are not responsible for damage that does not have an 18” border of protection.

Blade Runners suggests you further protect your property.  There are some simple protection solutions that are not costly but can make a big difference. Take a look at some before and after photos.
