Hello Lori.  Just want to say, while I can’t speak for the entire community, the lawn crew worked tirelessly all day and they did an outstanding job.  I offered and they accepted some refreshments at the end.  Please pass along my compliments.  A job well done.

Blade Runners Approach: Posting Agronomic Signs

While this requirement for Associations (§ 55-510.3 )may produce added expense for the association it really is a good idea.  This effective communication to your residents, communicates service dates, the QR Code provides and takes residents instantly to the Blade Runners Resource Book. This has all the support documentation of pesticide products to be applied, along with MSDS sheets, product labels, product toxicity info (if any), mixture rates and contact information should they have further concerns. 

Blade Runners has long provided this pesticide sign posting service option for our Homeowner Associations, Condominium Associations and Commercial Sites.  This not just littering the community with pesticide application flags vaguely communicating the ‘something’ was applied. 

Blade Runners Agro Sign

We provide highly visible, solid real estate-style signs placed at specific areas of the property. It contains the dates of application along with the QR Code Link to our resource book and a way to contact Blade Runners with questions. 

Proper implementation for both pesticide notice posting and the agronomic applications takes planning.  Adequate inventories of signs are needed to replace weathered and/or stolen signs.  Coordination planning is necessary in order to time the application after a turf mowing for maximum control along with the required 48 hour advance posting visit to place the signs. In the event of poor weather, an additional visit might be needed to alter the date.  Signs are removed from the site after the application.

As with many things there is more to this than meets the eye. Associations should be careful that there solution is a comprehensive one that adds value.    Turn this annoyance into a positive thing for your community!

Read all about Virginia Property Owners’ Association Act requirements for new notice of pesticide application 

Virginia HOA Boards, and Property Managers, and landscape contractors were blindsided by a Virginia Statute (§ 55-510.3 ) requiring 48 hours of posting notice for all agronomic applications.

Read the actual statue § 55-510.3. Common areas; notice of pesticide application.  The association shall post notice of all pesticide applications in or upon the common areas. Such notice shall consist of conspicuous signs placed in or upon the common areas where the pesticide will be applied at least 48 hours prior to the application

We love our clients as well, and thank you for sending this nice note to us!

 

Thanks Shannon. …We had one other proposal that was comparable but chose to go with Blade Runners because of your team’s professionalism and the customer service we’ve received so far.

Hello Shannon,
Your tree removal crew gets a 10+ rating for  the work they did here removing one dead tree and one VERY large Cypress.   Because the Cypress was so large and on a hill, this was far from a simple job.
Several of the homeowners closest to that tree have commented positively to me on the crew’s process and attention to detail. 
Orderly, methodical, careful — and pleasant.   One homeowner said they never left any debris mess at the end of the day.  For one example, branches scheduled to be picked up the next day were lined up very neatly along the property edge. 

Please thank your crew for all their hard work, especially on afternoons that were in the 90s.

We could not have asked for a better job done.   Thank you!

See what this client has to say:

Hi Terry,

Hope you’re doing well. Wanted to tell you that the turf work that the Blade Runners crew did last month is paying off – the grass looks great! I’ve had several homeowners tell me that this is the beta the grass has looked in years (it’s certainly the best it’s looked since I moved here in five years ago).

Thanks for all your work on Coleson Cluster and please tell the grounds crew that we really appreciate their efforts. It doesn’t go unnoticed.

Shannon,

At this time of year, it is especially important to express ones appreciation for positive things in our lives. 

Throughout the years that Blade Runners has managed the grounds at Chancery Square, the crew assigned to us has been wonderful.  They are so hard working and meticulous in their work.  I can honestly say, in the autumn when they tidy up our leaves and leave the property, there is not one leaf on the ground!

The crew is also very polite and courteous.  Whether blowing leaves or cutting the grass, when a person or car passes buy, they turn off their machines and flag people forward to ensure they are not bothered by any debris.  So thoughtful of the crew.  I always enjoy waving at them as I pass and receiving a big smiles return.

Please pass on to the crew our appreciation for taking such good care of our beautiful Chancery Square. 

Sending my very best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy 2022 to our crew and everyone at Blade Runners.

Sincerely,

Jeanie …

ACC Chairperson

Shannon,

First – thanks. Appreciate your team.

Have been seeing them out and about and it is noticeably improved the grounds during this high growth period…

Hi Shannon,
I had a chance to walk around the neighborhood this weekend and thought I would share a few kudos…
KUDOS: the brick walkways look better than they have in years! All the weeds are gone with no evidence of over spray. Congratulations!
This is the first time in at least six years that the walks have looked good at this time of year. And all the turf areas and roadway edging looked great this afternoon.


I am a Property Manager handling multiple condo & Home Owner Associations around the Northern Virginia area. Blade Runners is simply the best contractor we have working for us. They are reliable, thorough, and just do a great all around job. Their web site is excellent and a great resource for the individual home owner. Blade Runners makes my job easy when it comes to handling my clients landscaping, lawn maintenance, and snow removal needs. Highly recommended.
