Curb Appeal


A few weeks ago we were working in a garden in North York, when I got a call from one of my customers in Vaughn/Thornhill. She told me excitedly that when she came home the other day there was a sign in her garden. It seems that the City of Vaugh thought her garden had curb appeal! How nice is that? and, I really like this garden that we created. There were some trees already here (the upright Beech tree and the Globe Blue Spruce Standard) when we came on the scene to spice things up, and I think that we definitely enlivened this front garden.

The neighbours across the street told me happily, that they really think that the garden was made for them, because it's what they see everyday when they come and go.

Compliments are so very lovely aren't they? sigh. All of this acknowledgement just totally made my day!

Today would be a great day to tell someone you appreciate, how much their hard work matters to you.

Go on.

That garden looks amazing!

That garden looks amazing! You did a great landscaping job, work by the book. It must be a great satisfaction for you to see your work rewarded this way. I am working at Huntington Beach landscaping myself and I admit that I do have few things to learn from you.

I can see why this garden was choosen. I have trouble getting a garden to look good from two inches away and from across the street. This garden looks like it would beautiful wherever you are. I wish my neighborhood did something like this. What a great idea!!

Great idea to recognize hard work and style!

This reminds me of how some cities in European towns encourage their shopkeepers to beautify the town with windowboxes and other plantings. In some places it becomes a competition--fun for everyone and also a great way to create a more pleasing environment. We need more of this type of effort around here!
