I’m delighted to say thank you to every one of our customers. Your trust and support has made this special anniversary milestone possible. irty years ago, I set out to develop a new kind of landscaping company offering the highest level of professionalism. It was an idea whose time had come. Neighborhoods were evolving. Property ownership had become more sophisticated, ultimately requiring greater attention to landscapes to match and enhance the beauty of upscale homes. I’m proud to say that today our fleet of 60 trucks serve distinctive properties in Fairfield, Litchfield and Westchester counties. We are the largest private property maintenance work force in this three county region. Our Design/Build team also has hit the mark, winning national landscape architecture awards repeatedly. Every photo in this calendar attests to the fine work our two departments have done. Our employees helped us select from hundreds of wonderful photos to assemble this stunning artistic showcase of our work. With the first 30 years behind us, the best is yet to come. With renewed strength and commitment, we look forward to serving you with excellence in the years ahead.
