The Best Equipment for the Job

6 February 2019
The number one fear of prospective clients is the contractor failing to show up. We like to keep customers near other customers... both of us benefit from this efficiency. Many new customers tell us they love having a contractor that services them in the same neighborhood, sometimes from right next door. When service is needed in 30 minutes... we do not have to worry about traffic
Unlike most contractors, we do not utilize many pick-up trucks with plows. We went to the experts on snow & ice management... our neighbor to the north... Canada. They REQUIRE equipment, not pick-up trucks for winter services. Ask us to see our equipment... we will be happy to show you all of its advantages.

80% of our John Deere equipment is less than two years old and 20% less than 5 years old. New equipment is rotated every 4 years. Why do we use machines vs. pickup trucks? Very simply... reliability, speed and efficiency. You get a better service for less cost...period.
