My name is Janine Leete and I am president of the Pavilions Cluster in north Reston, a community of 34 single family homes. Many thanks for the on-going progress updates. I have been able to share the information with the residents and that has gone a long way toward managing expectations. Several residents have e-mailed me and asked me to pass on their compliments to Blade Runners and the plow operators. We in the Pavilions have been quite impressed with the service. Somehow the driver(s) assigned to our little neighborhood managed to keep an open lane throughout almost the entire storm. We don’t know how they did it but we are grateful. Having heard from other cluster presidents who have contracts with other companies and have yet to even see a plow, I realize just how lucky we are. Our thanks to the driver or drivers who worked our property on Friday and Saturday. Their diligence and hard work is appreciated.

We saw your most recent report and hope you know that we are very grateful for your great service. Please do not think that we believe anything different. We know your crews are operating in extraordinary conditions. The most important thing is the safety of you and your crews. Please have them get some rest. The storm will pass. We will dig out. If it takes a couple of days, so what? Please assure your crews that we appreciate all they have done. There is an emergency lane in our community if we needed it. That is all we need. Everything else will dig out, when you can. Please take heart that we believe you have done great work in terrible conditions with a storm that we will all remember for many years to come.

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.
Unfortunately they can be the most damaging piece of equipment on the work site. Unprotected items such as light, fence and mail box posts, siding, and air conditioner units can suffer damage in the long term.
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.

White grubs can devastate your lawn and the best way to take care of them is with professional lawn maintenance. White grubs (European chafer, Japanese, May and June Beetles) are small plump white larvae which actively feed on grass roots. They live below the soil surface and actually chew off the roots of the grass plants. They are C-shaped, have a brown head, and have 3 large pairs of legs
After they destroy the grass roots, the lawn will appear unhealthy, weak, or possibly yellow in patches–as if the lawn is drying out. Other symptoms to watch for include: animals like skunks and raccoons digging up the lawn and birds feeding on grubs leaving pencil-sized holes. Often the damaged turf will roll back like a carpet, as the root system has been eaten away, for this circumstances we highly recommend to reach professionalturf management services.
Life Cycle of the Grub
Some grubs complete their life cycle in one year and others require three years to complete. White grubs survive in the winter as larvae in the soil. In the early spring they begin to feed again. Later in the spring, they enter a resting stage (pupae), then hatch into adult beetles. A lot of beetles can mean a grub problem later–as there will be higher populations to reproduce. (The beetles do not damage lawns.) Beetles lay their eggs, which hatch into grub larvae. The larvae feed voraciously which results in significant stress to your lawn. Serious damage can occur in spring, summer, and fall. Left undiagnosed, grubs can devastate a lawn in a short period of time.
Promptly treating potentially devastating white grub infestations can help protect the investment you have made in a lawn care program and your property. An Investment advice from homebusinessmag.com is that If you notice suspicious brown patches starting to appear in the lawn, DO NOT HESITATE! Call your Blade Runners account manager. Treatment is usually not required until the white grub population exceeds 4-6 feet. At this level, the white grubs are feeding on the roots faster than they are able to regenerate. Consult with your Blade Runners account manager to discuss all options with respect to dealing with insects in your lawn.

Wanted to let you know the Mt. Woodley community is looking GREAT thanks to your crew! Nice job on cutting back the nandena and lirropa. Fresh mulch got put down on Friday and the huge bushes at the front entryway are cut way back and appear to be growing back nicely. Just need to keep them at this reasonable size/height.
Many thanks for the work estimates. Regards…Angela

I am writing on behalf of the Hillcrest Cluster board to say thank you for a very awesome job on our erosion/drainage renewal project. We are really pleased with everything, and anxiously await the grass germinating, the plants maturing, and the first downpour so we can see how well everything holds up 😉
Thanks again to you and the crew for making sure our requirements were met and having done so in a timely fashion.
Concrete walkway repair is an important element in the maintenance of your property, the Denver mudjacking service is designed to restore rather than replace, their solutions are functional for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Property Managers must scrimp, save, and otherwise plan for this work. Below find some information Blade Runners feels is important to achieve success.
DO SNOW CONTRACTORS ICE CONTROL PRODUCTS CAUSE DAMAGE?
It is no secret that all saline based ice control products are a threat to concrete surface. Property managers must strike a balance between the safety benefits and potential damage. Blade Runners uses Ice B’gone Magic Salt that is easily the safest product in the industry. With that said, there are some important steps to be taken with new concrete installations.
WHAT YOUR CONCRETE CONTRACTOR NEEDS TO DO.
Hire the right contractor: There are many corners that can be cut with this service. Regardless of the price, you should make sure that the chosen contractor fully understands the procedures and standards. Please see the video below that talks about the basics. It is important that the terminology is contained in your bid specifications.
Apply a penetrating sealer (Silane, Siloxane, or Silicate):This should be applied after the installation and the following year after installation. This will reduce the water penetration and protect the freeze thaw cycles that spall the concrete.
