Blade Runners Snow Improvement


Blade Runners has taken the following steps to improve our ability to meet the demands of extreme events.

Purchase of additional heavy equipment:

By far our biggest challenge was the amount and availability of heavy equipment.  Blade Runners has since purchased 8 additional loaders

Loader Line up

In addition we have invested in 15 “Kage” Box/plow attachments. Please see the video below for further details.

Introduction of staging service:

We now offer a service that stages the new Box/Plow loader on the site for moderate events. This will insure immediate attention in heavy events for the future. Our clients have asked what can be done to insure faster service and this is the answer.

Reduction in the snow work load:

We found the largest jobs created the most scheduling havoc.  The quantity of snow created an exponential challenge. We have eliminated poorly located work of this type, and will be very careful to get a high service commitment from these properties in the future.

It is our feeling that these improvements will significantly improve our snow removal performance.

McLean Long Term Client, takes the Time to Say “Well Done” for Work!


Hi Terry,

Because much of our contact over the years I served on the Hamptons BOD involved requests or even complaints , I don’t want any more time to go by without acknowledging the great work you and the BR crew did on Friday.  We had suffered extensive and dangerous tree damage in the severe thunderstorm that barreled through the neighborhood on Wednesday night.  Early Friday morning the crews were hard at work, and within a few hours they had everything cleared and the debris hauled away – a monumental effort.  A “Well Done” to all involved!

Regards,
Terry N…..

Community Manager with Associa “I am a certified fan of Blade Runners”

Thanks Shannon –

Here is an RFP for another one of my properties that is looking to change their landscaper.

Would love to have Blade Runners on another one of my properties!   

I am a certified fan of Blade Runners and appreciate the work that you do…  Also a small community, you have really upped the look at the property and I feel confident that you are doing a good job out there.

In my experience, I have never had board meetings where the community forum is filled with residents telling me what a good job a company did on snow removal or recent mowing and edging.  I HAVE gotten those very comments about Blade Runners.

The board is going to review the proposals and hopefully make a decision shortly.  I will be in touch with the results of their decision.  Thanks again for the proposal and have a nice weekend!

From what I hear, the Board is pleased with the work of Blade Runners. Yay! I also appreciate the Task Notice sent out each time. I’m keeping fingers crossed that come Fall we might have some money to implement a bit more of the landscape plan.

Church of Good Shepard – Fairfax Comments on Quick Service for Easter


Andy, thank you for getting your team together to clean our Memorial Garden before Easter. The men did a fine job. I asked them to trim back the firepower nandina to remove the winter burn, and they were most helpful.

Wishing you and your workers a holy, happy Easter.
