Happy Wednesday from Earthsmart! Let’s Talk Credentials!

Academic degrees in horticulture and professional licenses are the norm across much of the United States for landscape contractors. These requirements identify competence to perform a specific task or job.

Earthsmart is licensed in several states and can provide you with the knowledge, experience, and industry standards needed for a successful beautification project for your property. We purchase plants from great wholesale growers, not Lowe’s Garden Center. We use proven commercial fertilizers and soil preparation enrichments.

Texas does not require a license to perform landscaping tasks. So, here’s my question:

Can your weekly yard crew buy you some plants and stick them in your beds? Yes.
Are those the right plants for the location?
Are they planted too deep?
Did they properly prepare the soil?
Can that crew create a professional plan for your project?

Call Earthsmart for a free lawn evaluation and let us create an individualized plan just for your project.

What We DO:
Chemical lawn care
Landscaping
Irrigation installations and repairs
Sodding and new trees
Drainage
Fire Pits and Decks
Pergolas and walkways

If you need help with anything for your lawn? Give me a call today! Remember it is much cheaper to take care of your lawn now than it is to replace your lawn later. Protect your investment by using Earthsmart.

Happy Wednesday! Ethical Business Practices.........

I hope all is well with everyone! We had something happen over the weekend that I think is relevant. Our water well went down at the office. I don’t work on water wells like I used to, but I gave it a go. As we do for you guy’s when doing an irrigation repair, I did an analysis of the problem. I added new parts to the control box. After replacing a couple of bad parts, I still was having issues.
So, I called "the guy." Yes, I had to call a repair person for ME!!! This was a blow to my ego, but what happened made me feel better about how I treat my customers. See, he just wanted to replace the box. The same box that I had re-built. After he did the replacement, he discovered that the supply power line was bad. So, while I was replacing the supply power wire. He was writing me my invoice. He had put a control box on my well that wasn’t needed. He of course didn’t know that when he began, but he never attempted to determine the issue. This had me
looking inward to how I approach our repairs for you. This water well company only saw me, the customer, as a revenue stream. He removed and replaced as quickly as possible...... better for his profits.

The difference is this. We come out and replace only the parts that are needed. We will and do replace bad parts as we find them....NOT a wholesale replacement of parts to add to your bill.

This approach saves our customers money! It’s also the ethical way to do business!!!

Remember, we do everything but cut grass! That means we can remove all
w**ds, insects and fungus from your lawn. Stop paying other companies that don’t get the job done. So why not give us a call!!!
