The Greenscape Season is Flowing

“Oohs” and “Aahs”

Take a moment to pause, fill your lungs with the warm, balmy air and reflect on how advantageous it is to live in this beautiful state – there truly isn’t another like it. It is in these four to five months out of the year that Greenscape is the busiest, but that doesn’t mean once in a while we can’t stop to soak in the grace and charm that the Minnesota summers provide.  We were able to do so after one project in particular this year…

In July, the Greenscape crew was privileged to install a pond water feature for a lovely couple in Milaca, MN. The space was occupied by an old, dried up pond water feature that Greenscape was able to bring back to life. This task would seem daunting to the average person, but for the Greenscape crew it was just another day at the office.  Or you could say another day in the environment.

Using some existing materials and some new, Greenscape transformed this unusable area into a tranquil, aesthetically pleasing spot in the back yard.  A nice, cozy area to read your new favorite book while listening to the white noise of the trickling water in the background.

Taking something that was never used and pumping the lifeblood back into it was what made this project unique and not like the others. It’s not easy to explain how difficult it is to walk away from a job after spending even a few days there. Creating these spaces, packing up and moving onto the next job is part of the business, but some projects are harder to depart from than the others.

The “oohs” and “aahs” are what we strive to receive from the customer at the end of every project.  We know after we hear those simple reactions that we have done our job and we can hand the keys over to the people who will be using it every day.  Greenscape was excited to add this project to the list of happy customers who are eternally grateful for turning their nightmare into a dream.

Parade of Homes Fall Showcase – Greenscape Companies and NIH Homes

September 11, 2015

The Greenscape crew is wrapping up the final homes for the 2015 Fall Parade of Homes Showcase.  The crew was hard at work today in the Black Cherry preserve in Big Lake, MN.  NIH Homes is introducing their new model and floor plan. For Greenscape these showcase events allow us to preview what we offer as a basic landscape package for new construction homes.  When we say “basic” that means trees, shrubs, perennials, edging, landscape rock/mulch, a Hunter irrigation system and sod.  The sod is provided by Greenscape’s sister company Green Turf Sod located in Princeton, MN.  With the extensive amount of experience the Greenscape crews have, all this work can be done in just one to two days total.  Just one of the advantages of having a contractor that can do everything in house.  With the exception of a few services, Greenscape can provide every facet of the landscaping portion of a property.

Greenscape has been privileged to have worked with NIH for several years.  Taking care of their customers’ landscaping needs has been excellent to say the least.  The Greenscape crews are now like a well-oiled machine getting these houses completed and looking top notch for all the potential homeowners.  If you are including Big Lake as one of your potential stops in your Parade of Homes tour, I encourage you to not only take a stroll through the beautiful inside, but also take a gander at the quality of work Greenscape can provide for your new home.
