The Final Touch

DURING THE MOST RECENT rain spell, work had to be called off for the remainder of the day, so John came in to the office and put some finishing touches onto the Green Apple Living Wall. John is a stone mason by trade, so he’s got the skills to pay the bills with the stone and cement mortar. He finished off the base of the basin with some brickwork, and now the living project is really complete. Great work, John. Way to go, team! It’s beautiful!

It’s Alive!

WOOHOO! WE DID IT! Congratulations are in order. Yesterday we stayed late in order to finish building our new Living Wall. And now it’s done! Doesn’t it look great? Yeah… Now, wouldn’t you like to have one in your own home? If the answer to that question is approaching yes, you really should give us a shout and have us quote you on a job. For the first few lucky customers, we will be building living walls at a discounted rate. So if you’re sincerely interested, don’t dally, take advantage of this awesome opportunity. Either way, you are more than welcome to drop in at any time to say hi and see what the Living Wall looks and feels like!

FOR THE FIRST TIME this season, the morning broke at zero degrees Celsius, a sure sign of winter; so we’ll be more than happy to wrap up the work on your yard and move it indoors to get started out your walls!

Flying Colours

IS OUR SAFETY PROGRAM UP TO SNUFF? In the province of Ontario, the landscaping trade falls under the jurisdiction of the Farm Safety Association. Yesterday, Janet Bewers of the FSA came by our offices to do an annual inspection, to make sure that we’ve got the right stuff. She inspected our premises and pointed out how we can be even better; and she gave us great marks, saying that we passed the test with flying colours — and that those flying colours are shades of green! It’s very important to us that we have healthy working environments, so we’re very happy that Janet likes what she sees.
