THE “CARE-ACTER” OF OUR COMPANY (Revisited)

Our team recently had the privilege of working on a second project for Rich and Kris, of Palmyra, Pennsylvania.

Following the completion of the project, Kris penned the following note to James, Ben, and the Hanselman team:

“You have transformed our inner courtyard into a serene sanctuary. The design, detail, precision, and placement of boulders and plants and lighting, the craftsmanship is perfection. Beautiful from every angle, inside and outside. Day and evening, we delight with every glance out of our windows from various rooms. We appreciate the extra touches–rearranging our firewood, repairing our downspouts, and your card and prayers for Rich’s recovery. You and all your team are very special people and obviously put your heart and soul into every project. Thank you for bringing light and joy into your clients’ lives and gardens.”

REWARDS OF THE SIMPLE LIFE

“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life.”

~ John Burroughs (American naturalist, essayist, and conservationist; 1837 – 1921)

GREEN THINGS GROWING

“O the green things growing . . . .

The faint sweet smell of the green things growing!

I should like to live; whether I smile or grieve,

Just to watch the happy life of my green things growing.”

– Dinah Maria Mulock Craik

Garden Transformation: Plant Trees First! Pickme

GARDEN TRANSFORMATION: PLANT TREES FIRST!

Once a neglected, weed- and barbwire-infested parcel of farmland, this five-plus acre property in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (pictured below) is being gradually but lovingly being transformed into a verdant woodland estate. From the start, the property owners understood that after ensuring the presence of good topsoil, the installation of appropriate trees must initially supersede all other needs, since trees take a relatively long time to develop. To this end, since purchasing the property in early 1999, the owners have enlisted the help of Hanselman Landscape to select and plant hundreds of trees. As you can see, the return on investment keeps growing in value and beauty!
