Allentuck Landscaping’s Inside Dirt – December 2016

What A Year It’s Been

Man has this year flown by! It seems like just last week we were shoveling out of a 3′ deep monster of a snow storm. In the time since, we have created and cared for some fantastic landscapes for our customers, grown and promoted many team members, and have come together stronger than I can ever remember Allentuck Landscaping Co. being. I thank each of you for your dedication to our company and for working so hard to make Allentuck Landscaping Co. the best landscaping company in the area.
