Subject: Regarding BusyBee Gardening -Terramor Complex -

Hello council,

My name is Erika Castellanos, owner of unit 96. I writing this email to express my complete satisfaction with BusyBee gardening, it's has been a pleasure walking our neighbourhood, and enjoying this golden daffodils everywhere. They have done an excellent job, so I just want to let you know how happy we're with their service. They did such a good job last year that I got motivated to plant my own tulips, so we did it with my daughters, and we're still waiting to see the results.

Once again, thanks to the gardening company, and thanks to all of you for your hard work.

Best Regards,

Erika Castellanos

To Whom it may concern,

David and his crew took over the landscaping in Wedgewood complex approximately 2 1/2 years ago. Our previous landscaper had been on site for around 20 years and had become quite complacent and had allowed the shrubs, bushes and trees to overgrow.

When David started there was many years of neglect from lack of trimming and weeding. In the 2 1/2 short years that David and his crew have been on site they have made a huge change to the appearance of the complex. Most of the trees and shrubs have been trimmed and shaped . Evergreens that had been allowed to grow down to the ground have cut back 6 to 8ft. Not only did this enhance the appearance of the complex but it is much better for security reasons.

David and his crew have always been very courteous and professional and would certainly recommend them.

Yours Sincerly.

Freda Platt
President of Wedgewood Estate.

I started working with Busy Bee Gardening a while ago. Their approach to tackle the landscaping issues is different than other landscaping companies. Their quoting is very competitive and their job performance is great. Also, they have a very good customer relations program. You can definitely rely on their services.

Ian Osman - Property Manager, Croft Agencies Ltd.

I am very happy to work with Dave on any size of project. Procedures and recommendations are well explained and any deficiencies taken care of immediately and professionally.

It is extremely important to ensure that your gutters are properly cleaned at least once a year.

When clogged gutters overflow, they can cause water build up on the roof that can force water inside your residence or building. Gutters can also get heavy causing them to pull the gutters loose and rot the trim and siding. Even if your gutter doesn’t fill to overflowing each season, leaving any decaying debris in there is an invitation to carpenter ants and mosquitoes. If you have a lot of trees around your complex/business, you might want to clean your gutters even more frequently.
