City budgets are strained these days with the current economic situation.  For example, the city of Tulsa is eliminating city police officers, shutting down valuable services, and having to take other painful measures to save money.

We’re doing our part at LawnAmerica to help out.   This past spring, we began treating over 28 acres of turf for free at several city parks.  Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Jenks, Owasso, and Sand Springs parks have all been the benefactors of our lawncare servces.  We have committed to service eight of these community parks for free, through 2010.  The annual value of these services if we charged would be about $28,000, so this is the amount of money these cities are saving with our donation.

Giving back to the communities we serve is part of what we do at LawnAmerica.  Our business has been blessed this year, and for the past 11 years, so we’re glad to be able to give back.  We love what we do in caring for lawns and landscapes, and feel it’s an important part of our world in many respects.  We also love to give, as it helps provide even more meaning and satisfaction from our work. 

As we enter the Thanksgiving month of November, I’m indeed thankful for our business, employees, and our cutomers.  So if you’re a LawnAmerica customer–Thank You for the opportunity to do what we do.  And if you are not a LawnAmerica customer–Why Not?  Not only will you save money, compared to doing your own lawncare, your lawn will look better.  And if you use a competitor, you will not find a better group of professionals to care for your lawn.  And, you’ll be helping to support this comminity we all share, as no other lawncare company comes close to giving back to others as LawnAmerica.
