October News

WOW, what a nice October we had. I think only 3 days of rainy weather and the rest were warmer than normal. With nights rarely even dropping into the 40’s the grass is actually still growing and that’s never happened,,,at least not in the last 22 seasons.

Leaf drop is very slow coming this fall so we’re slowly working our way around for cleanups. We will continue to make visits as long as weather permits and we will not be working on a regular route day schedule any more. This means we’ll be making the rounds as the weather permits. Typically we try for 1 last visit after all of the leaves are down. For the most part, the plan is to be done doing fall cleanups by Thanksgiving or shortly thereafter if the weather holds.

Please call or email if you have any specific questions or concerns about your cleanup.

We turned off the irrigation in mid-October. We simply turned off the main and/or the clock. We do this to allow things to dry out and not freeze with early morning drops in temperature that would not allow cleanups. The irrigation systems will be blown out over the next few weeks if they haven’t been already. This will be done by a licensed contractor and billed to you separately.

We will be getting the 2015 contracts out the first days of December and will be sending them via email this year for your convenience. You’ll just reply to the email to renew your contract. Discounts and terms will be the same this year and explained at the time you receive the contract email.

November will be quiet busy and I look forward to it every year as I enjoy the fall in Central Oregon and it’s pretty cool working on your properties as well.

Thanks again for your input and support.
