“April showers bring May flowers” is an old farmer’s adage from way back. Whereas here in the Mile High State, any rain is always welcome. With the arrival of Spring, our Yard Elves are being kept very, very busy with yard clean-ups as our customers are all ready for warmer weather, lots more outdoor activities and new green grass to beautify their properties.
The snowplows and shovels are being stored away and the Yard Elves Maintenance Teams are once again tuning up all our machines from mowers to heavy duty bobcats so that they are ready for the new extensive landscaping jobs now being scheduled.
April’s heralds the fun times ahead with Summer just around the corner. Northern Colorado offers so much in the way of family outdoor recreation from hiking to biking and boating. It’s a time to put away the heavy winter clothes, slip on your sandals and running shoes and get outside to blue skies and singing birds. We live amidst Mother Nature’s glorious bounty and should always be aware of our responsibility to care for it with respect and attention so that it will be enjoyed by future generations.
We wish all our customers a spectacular Spring; one filled with much fun and many family adventures – such as a possible upcoming Easter Egg Hunt! Remember making memories is what it’s all about.
Do keep in mind if you need any help with your property clean-up or even some weeding and light pruning our maintenance crews are here to help.
In closing – all of us here at Yard Elves would like to wish everyone in the community a very Happy Easter to all!
