| The Final Piece of the Landscape Puzzle |
|
|
 |
When the last plant goes in the ground, it's tempting
to think the landscaping project is finished. In reality, however,
it's only beginning.
It takes a few years for a project to round into shape. And it will
always require regular watering and fertilization, as well as careful
monitoring for insects, weeds and diseases.
Landscape projects succeed because they are a priority, not an afterthought.
That's why it only makes sense to rely on one company from design
through installation and maintenance.
|
"People may like the way the property
looks when we turn it over to them, but they may not follow proper
horticultural practices," said landscape management division manager for Hermes, "Therefore,
they may not be as happy with it over the long run."
It is hard for even highly motivated property managers and homeowners
to stay on top of the latest developments in plant management. At
Hermes, we have people who specialize in each area, such as insect
or disease control.
"Expertise is available
to maintain that professional appearance year after year. We have people on staff
who have spent their whole lives learning to design and take care
of plants, and manage pests and diseases. We take a proactive approach."
A successful landscaping project is like an intricate jigsaw puzzle,
with numerous integrated parts. Professional landscape management
is one of the most important -- yet often overlooked -- parts of
that puzzle.
"Installation is a sprint but
maintenance is a long-distance race."

| A Systemic Approach to Landscape Maintenance |
|
|
 |
The problem with a do-it-yourself approach to landscape
maintenance is that you often react to problems after they develop.
Once they get a foothold, insect, weed and disease problems can
be costly and time-consuming to control.
That's why Hermes takes a proactive approach in
an effort to prevent problems from happening. This approach saves
money over the long run, and it keeps your landscape looking beautiful
throughout the four seasons.

| Getting to the Root of Beautiful Lawns |
|
|
 |
Beautiful lawns
require adequate nutrients, abundant sunshine and plenty of moisture.
Research shows that timely irrigation is one of the most important
keys to keeping lawns lush and healthy, even through the brutal heat
of Kansas City summers.
A well-designed, maintained and calibrated sprinkler system provides
the best results without costly overwatering. This means optimum moisture
with minimum waste. Hermes provides expert advice and service to keep
your system performing at its peak. Just look at how we can help:
|
|
- Our service department can provide parts and
service for nearly any system that is installed, including Hunter,
Weathermatic, Rain Bird, Nelson and Toro.
- We take care of your system during the most critical
times of the year -- shutdown before winter and startup in the
spring.
- We will drain the whole system including the
backflow preventer to keep it from freezing.
- Of course, you can expect prompt, professional
service from our highly trained technicians -- 24/7 if you have
an emergency. It takes just one call to reach our radio-dispatched
technicians.
- Our well-trained technicians use the latest diagnostic
equipment and have the ability to do installations providing upgrades
as required.
- Our maintenance customers have priority scheduling
for spring startup and fall winterizing.

It would be hard to drive through Kansas City
without passing one of the many office buildings, shopping centers,
manufacturing plants, hospitals or hotels that we maintain. You also
will find us on the job at such prestigious communities as Mission
Hills, Hallbrook Farms and Cedar Creek.
"When I tour the properties we service,
what clearly differentiates us from the competition is the management
of the total landscape, not simply the turf. Beds are weed free.
Trees are nicely groomed and mulched. Dead trees are pulled. Edging
is crisp. I am pleased more than ever with the landscape management
services we are providing."
