    This is a HUGE full renovation we did in September 2018. The results turned out greta. I do plan to go back and film the results so you can see.

    Pete, Considering the extreme weather we had last Fall, how did that reno turn out?

      Paul C pretty dang good all things considered. We had to go back 2 times and spot seed

    The work is the easy part. Listening to customers say the same thing you've heard a million times is tough. Just stand back and watch, don't talk or ask questions. We're the best at what we do for a reason. Good job Pete. I sure hope he watered correctly.

    I have a small company grossing around 50 a year and would like to get your input on diversifying services. I've been doing this 5 years and have mostly been focusing on weekly mowing and landscape maintenance. I would like to get into more land management and landscaping type projects but I don't want to be spread to thin having too much equipment. This ventrac seems to an all around great machine to be put to use on almost any project. I like having machines that get used a lot and while I would really like an excavator, for me it would sit too much at this time to justify the cost. I see so many services I could start offering with just this one machine and all the attachments they offer.

    Hey Pete, Try and get your nutrition right. The contents of that cooler with Gatorade and Mountain Dew can be compared to weeds in the lawn. That stuff will lead to an early grave. Please take care...hydrate with water or tea, without that sugar free crap.
