From the Landscaper – Greetings all!  Yesterday was a great day, saw a bald eagle soaring over my neighborhood on the SW side, and ended it with a nice rainbow over the display our Team built at Holiday Park for Orchard in Bloom…

Well, we’ve only had rain 13 of the last 15 days… so, let’s see…the bright side would be… we don’t have to water!  By my best estimations, we’re around 500 production man hours behind schedule on mulching and landscape installation work from all the April precipitation.  Mowing has been a real challenge also to try establishing any resemblance of ‘routes’ or order.  I beg your patience, we will get to you! This has been our most challenging spring by far in terms of logistics and scheduling.  On a bright note, we have more work then we’ve ever had.  I won’t even complain about $4+/gallon fuel, it is what it is, and let’s be thankful we didn’t get devastated by any flooding or tornados, as so many have been suffering with.  Our hearts go out to our neighbors to the south who’ve suffered damaged and have lost loved ones…

Thanks for your business, we appreciate it, please hang in there with us!

Orchard in Bloom – If you’ve never been to this festival, you should come.  Holliday Park is an amazing 100 acre facility that’s beautiful and has a lot of history.  We were honored last night at the pre-judging to receive runner up for Best of Show, and runner up for American Horticultural Society Award.  Congratulations to Litchfield Landscaping for winning both of these categories this year!  Come check out our booth plus all the other great booths and displays, today-Sunday at Holliday Park, go to www.orchardinbloom.org for more information.

How does every spring newsletter start?  ‘Well, Spring’s finally here!!!’  Is it?  I sure hope so, winter was a real ‘butt kicker’ this year?  What is ‘normal weather’ anymore?  We’ve been swamped already this year renovating lawns from last years drought & tearing out dead evergreens.  Have you noticed those all over the city???  Well, let’s be positive here.  I’ll keep it short & sweet, got work to do & jobs to sell!  Thanks to so many of you for coming out & seeing us at the Lucas Oil show & then the Flower & Patio.  We will also have a pondless waterfall set up at the Orchard in Bloom Festival, which is at Holliday Park April 29-May1.  This is a really fun festival/show in a beautiful setting, come be a part of it if you can!  Please visit our website at www.truenorthlandscaping.com to see a full range of our services, & let us know if we can assist you with any of your landscaping or maintenance needs.  Now for the BIG news…
