CN'R Lawn N' Landscape - Landscaping Projects
Latest Update

 

UPDATED SUNDAY, MAY 12:

Although we dabbled into some projects towards the end of the week of April 29th, our first official FULL week of landscaping did not start until Monday, May 6th. And that first week was actually a pretty successful week for completing jobs even though it did start out on the wet side of things.

For the rest of May and even through the month of June, our biggest focus will be on Mulching, dirt/seeding, sodding. These are the MOST COMMON early spring landscape services we try to fulfill the soonest. It does not mean we are not completing other categories of landscape projects early in the season as well, but we are just talking about the most common. And when we are working on a lot of volume, especially in the MULCH REFRESH department, it takes time to get through all jobs thoroughly.

If you are on our radar to compete a job for you and you are interested in finding out an approximate plan for timing, please EMAIL CRAIG. But, we want to tell you first that we will be working through all jobs just as fast and efficiently as we know how so all properties are “updated” as early as possible this spring.

FOR MONTHLY LANDSCAPE BED MAINTENANCE: During the month of May, we only focus on weeding/chemically treating beds. If you are signed up for this service, during the month of May or June this season will be our first “go-through” of landscape beds to get a head start on weeds. Remember, any pruning waits until after July 4th, so we are not even close yet on that end of the spectrum. But, if there are some rubbish (dead items) within beds as we treat for weeds, we will clean these areas out. Or if we see sticks or mulch/rock pushed out beyond the landscape bed edging, we will clean up as well.

All in all - spring services are 100% underway and we are excited this part of the season is now in full-swing. We will keep you posted as time goes on, and again, feel free to EMAIL CRAIG for any questions.

OF COURSE, AS ALWAYS, IF YOU ARE NEW CUSTOMER LOOKING FOR A LANDSCAPE PROJECT ESTIMATE, PLEASE GO TO: FREE ESTIMATES and submit your request. Thank you!

UPDATED SUNDAY, MAY 5:

Please do scroll down and read the last couple updates. But, starting the week of May 6th, we are now in full-swing for landscape projects. C N’R is more or less focusing first on dirt/seed/sod & Mulch with other items mixed in. We do have some deadlines to conquer over the next month or so, etc. If you do have a job signed with C N’R and you have an event or something where it needs to be completed by, we always stress to let us know as soon as possible.

Looking back just a bit during the week of April 29th - it was a transitional week where we as a company went from spring clean up work to finishing gutter cleaning, to weekly mowing, and into landscape projects as well. By Friday, May 3rd, mulch was getting installed and as we mentioned above here, the week of May 6th will be our first full week of landscaping for the season.

If you are looking to see where you are on our schedule this spring, you can EMAIL CRAIG We will do our best to provide timing details. Keep in mind, it is still really early and we are just starting and getting things more organized, so it may be a bit before we can provide too many specifics for now, but we are happy to help with anything at any time.

MONTHLY LANDSCAPE BED MAINTENANCE: This mostly includes weeding this time of the season. If you are signed up for our “monthly” program for bed maintenance, we do plan to get to some during the second half of May, but in June we will be getting to everything eventually just to get a first round of weeding/chemical treatment prior to July.

Stay tuned for more updates!

UPDATED SUNDAY, APRIL 28:

IMPORTANT: please do scroll down and read our previous update. It does provide a bit more information on what events have lead us to this point for landscaping.

C N’R’s biggest focus during the first couple months of the landscape season (May & June) is Mulch, dirt/seed & sod installation. These are the most common services to kick off the season, and we have a lot of work to do.

We expect that during the week of April 29th will be a transition week for C N’R - going from spring clean-up set up to weekly mowing and landscaping. For instance, both of our landscape dump trailers are set up for “spring clean ups” - therefore we cannot get landscape product until we do have our clean-ups completed and we are able to transfer to landscape mode. So, we start the week of 4/29 doing spring cleanups, and by the end of the week, we will be starting to landscape and complete projects that have been approved.

Because we are just getting to this transition type of week, we do not have a plan or schedule laid out quite yet to outline a plan for the next couple of weeks. But we will be thinking in that direction and should have some idea for some jobs pretty quickly here.

If you want to EMAIL CRAIG for his thoughts on timing of your particular project, fell free to do so anytime.

We plan to continue to keep you posted as the next weeks go by, but all-in-all: some projects will start to get done during the latter half of the week of 4/29, and then we will be more or less full-time (Monday-Friday) to start the week of 5/6 and continue from there the rest of the season with landscape projects.

More updates to come!

UPDATED FRIDAY, APRIL 19:

We have many exciting services coming up as far as landscape projects are concerned, with mainly property upkeep. What we mean by upkeep is items such as mulch, dirt/seed, and eventually sod. Sod usually is not available until closer to mid-May, but you get the picture of what the most popular services early in the season are.

And as we progress through this interesting spring, we do have many elements coming into play that are affecting our start date for these types of project services. You read all the rest of our “progress updates”, we talk about a lot of moisture that has delayed services a bit this April. Actually, the moisture we are talking about started late March. Today, we have been removed from drought conditions according to NOAA, and it only took Mother Nature about 4 weeks or less to achieve this. Two summers in a row with drought, and a winter with hardly any snow, and then all of a sudden we are back to average and actually wet. Only in Minnesota.

In the end, we are a FULL service lawn/landscape/snow removal company and we started the season off with spring cleanup & lawn de-thatching that the entire team is working on until it is completed. We do have 2 dump trailers that are both set up for sucking up debris from spring clean up work. These trailers cannot pick product, such as mulch, dirt, etc until we strip down each trailer away from the spring clean up set-up and into landscaping set up.

Starting our project season depends on when spring clean ups do get completed and it appears that with good weather, that date should be right around April 26th, but we do have more good chances of rain in the forecast and we are realistically projected to be done with spring cleanup work earlier during the week of 4/29. That week should be a transitional week, and we expect to be basically full swing into landscape projects for the week of 5/6 this season.

If you have a job that is confirmed and are wondering when we will get to it, at the time of this update, it is a bit too early to start working on a plan for projects. We need to be to a point where we know basically what date we can start. Any further questions, please EMAIL CRAIG.

We will keep you posted as we get closer to start time.

Early April Update:

We have been excited to kick off the project/landscape season as our eyes were on an early start! But, our eyes got blinded by late-March snowfall. So, it appears that our landscape season will start more or less “on-time” this season - late April? …or early May? Somewhere around there, but still too early to tell. As a company, we do focus on our spring clean up services first prior to working on any popular spring-time services such as Mulch Refresh, dirt/seed/sod jobs, etc. Barring no April snow storms, we will fully be rolling with these projects come early May and usually our popular early projects last through June. Our project season for the spring is usually May & June as we do not do many projects in April due to full focus on spring clean up services.

As far as receiving an estimate for any type of landscape project this spring, it is important to click over to FREE ESTIMATES and submit your request from there. We will be happy to assist and communicate a quoting plan to review your desired project and/or setting up a meeting.

Stay tuned for more updates to come as we get deeper into April.

UPDATED MARCH 3RD, 2024:

We are excited to kick off the project/landscaping season this spring as usual, especially after a winter that has disappointed snow lovers. At C N’R we are at least plowing lovers, and no snow means a tough winter for us. So, as the weather gets nice earlier this season (it appears early at the time of this update), we hope to start our landscape project season early as well. We do feel it will at least be earlier than the past couple of season, because those were way behind. Typically, we do not start our project teams until close to May or very early May on average. We are not looking to get out too much to do any projects super early because our focus is always spring clean ups first which take place for the better part of the month of April (on average). We will see where things take us.

As we have not seen much snow, and we have seen nice temps early in March here, at the present time we are not really looking at new project work. What we are working now is “sign-ups” for regular services, and once that gets towards the end, then we start getting out on properties to look at projects current and new customers have requested quotes on.

For NEW customers looking to do some projects this season, please go to FREE ESTIMATES to submit your requests. Once we do start with projects later in April or early May, the common items that we get done first are mulch, dirt/seed, & sod. There are many more project items can take care of, but these are the most common. Also, there is a chance to get out just prior to our “spring clean up” service to do a few smaller things, but we do not want current customers with current projects on the agenda to count on that.

More news to come later in March.
