Allentuck Landscaping’s Inside Dirt – January 2017

Making 2017 Our Best Year Ever

One of the things I appreciate about our industry is that winter gives us a chance to slow down, reflect, and work on things that need to be improved. We did so many things right in 2016, but there is still a lot we can improve upon. There is a lot to look forward to this year. We will be meeting in the next few days as a group to discuss how 2016 went and what we want out of 2017. Come to this meeting prepared with all of your concerns, ideas and questions. This is our chance to really work together on making Allentuck Landscaping Co. the very best landscape company around. Lets take our success from this past year and use it as momentum in 2017.

I sincerely hope that all of your dreams and those of your family come true in the year ahead.

– Bruce
