Danbury Forest Community HOA
“Our HOA has a contract with your company. With the recent wind storms, we have had a lot of fallen small trees and LOTS of dead branches, for which we needed up hiring tree branch cutting services. Terry and his crew were out here today and did a spectacular job! Our community is so pleased with his (your) work. We still have more work to do with the recent storms, but really appreciate Terry’s quick response. Our HOA has worked with your company for several years for our annual contract, and people like Terry remind us of why we stay. The clean up area looks great. Thank you, Terry, and thank you, Blade Runners.”

Blade Runners Seeding service
Our goal is to produce meaningful results with our seeding service. We are certainly at the mercy of mother nature in terms of temperature and moisture. However we want our process to be progressive and effective when the conditions are right. We achieve this in one of two processes listed below. Please check with your account manager if you have any questions.
Square foot approach
This approach arms the seed with the needed tools for success. It also identifies seeded areas to future mowing visits, so it is not disturbed.
a) Your contract will stipulate a specific number of sq ft we are seeding.
b) We identify areas on the property that need attention the most.
c) Core aerate the areas selected in 2-3 directions to create maximum seed soil contact.
d) Apply Hydro seed that contains seed, lime, fertilizer and a stabilization agent ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
Full core aeration and over seeding approach
a) This is used for small properties with less than 30,000 square feet of overall turf.
b) Sometime used for larger properties that have specific compaction problems where full aeration is needed.
c) Seed is applied with a spreader
d) Property is fully core aerated.
I just received my second “task posting” marked complete for the yard work done yesterday. This is GREAT! No more guessing as to what was done and when. Many thanks for the notification and keep the postings coming!!!

Plants have a life cycle like everything else.
It is wonderful when all is new…new properties, kitchens, even floor plans! Yes, everyone likes fresh surroundings. As properties mature, so do their plantings. They become overgrown and encroach over windows that once provided sunshine and brightness. All too often, dense bushes block walkways, creating dark and sometimes dangerous paths to doorways. As time passes, condominium properties suffer from age like everything else.
How do you deal with an outdated landscape that needs to compete with newer properties? Do you remove everything? Do you plant or remove something here or there? Where will the needed money come from?
Blade Runners was called to revitalize the Bentana Park Condominium complex in Reston, VA. Residents voted for a foundation facelift to update the property and help protect their real estate investment. The Bentana Park Condo board president said, “We’re so glad we hired Blade Runners to restore and renew our community. We once again have bright walkways, sun shining through windows, and a welcome environment for our residents!”

Hi Terry,
Thank you for the extra effort you and your workers took to make the landscaping at Forest Hills of Fairfax Community look really good for the Fun Run fund raiser for the Fairfax County Park Authority held in the community common area on 7 June 2014. The community looked the best ever. The Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and numerous other participants in the fun run commented on how good the community looked.
Please pass the thank you along to the workers who were here on 6 June and performed the hands on work.
Regards,
Drummond Taylor
President, Forest Hills of Fairfax Homeowner’s Association
Those dirty rings…you try scrubbing them out, rinsing them out, and you STILL have “Ring Around the Collar!” Those bare dirt-ridden islands. Seeding and watering just create a muddy mess. Where can you place your trash cans for pick-up? Blade Runners has created countless island transformations that eliminate the mud, lower maintenance bills, and provide safety zones for your children and attractive landing areas for trash receptacles.
Here’s a safe spot for children awaiting their school bus.
An excellent location for trash receptacles 
Blade Runners will create appealing curbsides and enhance the beauty of your community.
Eric:
I do appreciate your efforts this past year and indulging the board members by hearing their concerns and addressing them. This goes a long way in keeping them happy customers. That is one area that I think B.R. excels at – you and your staff are always willing to give your time and attention to the customer and quickly respond to their concerns. It is a pleasure doing business with you.

Eric,
Your team has done an outstanding job cleaning up all the snow this year!! They have also done a great job cleaning up the sidewalks. I know it must be pretty hard juggling all the areas you have to clear up. Take care and thanks again. Cheers.
