I began my career
in professional
lawn care all the way back in 1983, which makes me one of the most experienced
lawn care operators in southwest Ohio. I chose this field of work because I
get tremendous enjoyment out of seeing the
results we achieve for our customers year-after-year.
The customer relationships we have created have truly stood the test of time,
as many of our customers have been with us for almost two decades.
The
approach we have taken with respect to lawn care programs is completely unique.
First off, we employ methods that are "site-specific," completely
customized for individual properties based on turf varieties, environmental
conditions, performance history and budget. To the best of my knowledge, we
are the only lawn care company in southwest Ohio that treats properties with
this degree of specificity...in certain cases, we even treat portions of the
same lawn differently! Secondly, we include soil amendments in our treatment
program as part of the regular treatment regimen. Thousands of soil tests have
shown us a specific flaw in soil conditions that we simply cannot overlook.
Amending soil conditions improves nutrient uptake and metabolization, reduces
disease susceptibility, increases thatch
decomposition
(by stimulating microbial activity) and improves turf tolerance of heat and
drought. There are other benefits, as well. The bottom line is this...our program
builds turf from the roots up, because we focus attention to the details and
to the needs of turf in the root zone. All
of our visible achievements begin with a sound approach to soil quality and
the needs of plants from a purely biologicial perspective. Thirdly,
we take the very best products
availableand
put them to use on our properties, regardless of product cost. For example,
we use broadleaf weed control products that cost nearly three times more than
the products many companies use, because they yield results on hard-to-kill
weeds like violets, ground ivy and clover. Our philosophy is, spend more on
products and the quality of our work up front, because it makes for happier
customers and fewer service calls (which are free!) later on. Fourthly, our
Technicians are not overworked or underpaid! Our program demands Technicians
think and respond to turf needs visit-by-visit. We don't have "robots"
who simply do the same thing over and over again all day long. In our view,
that won't be successful in the end. When we treat your lawn, we take the time
to survey "current" conditions, respond with necessary treatments
and give our customers updates as to how things are progressing. Our "leave-behind"
literature backs up this high level of communication, keeping our customers
informed and "in the loop." It should be important for you to know
that your Technician is not given large volumes of work to complete as part
of a daily "quota." Our workloads give time for the applicator to
do all the tasks necessary and keep focus on individual lawns, not how much
work they have to complete. Finally, ShowPlace is locally owned and operated,
which means you are supporting the local economy with every dollar you invest
in lawn or tree and shrub care services. The money doesn't quickly leave the
Miami Valley for parts unknown.
In
summation, ShowPlace Lawn & Tree Care, Inc. offers these benefits:
-
Vast experience, imparting for its customers a vast local and regional knowlege
within a treatment program created to help all lawns overcome the obstacles
that stand in the way of a successful lawn care result
- Treatments
that include the very best science and products available, and application
methods that assure effective results from application-to-application and
year-to year
- A
great value for your lawn care investment dollar, because our Technicians
give their customers their time, expertise and courtesy...without quickly
rushing to the next stop
The
field of professional lawn care today provides customers a wide range of choices
to pick from. It is our belief, that when you truly examine companies by the
finest of points, you'll come to the conclusion that ShowPlace is a wise choice.
I've said to many customers when visiting with them for the first time, this
statement:
"I
welcome the opportunity to meet with customers face-to-face, because within
five minutes of discussing our programs, experience and how we implement procedures,
I'll have gained their trust and created an enthusiasm about treating their
lawn that they may have never had before."
Please
feel free to contact me, personally, at any time to meet with you and discuss
the unique needs of your lawn or landscape. I know, without question, that
the time we spend discussing your property will prove mutually beneficial.
