| Making Your Home Beautiful |
|
|
 |
If you are like most homeowners in the Kansas City
area, you have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours decorating
the interior of your home to reflect your tastes and interests.
But how much attention have you given to the landscaping?
Just think how many hours you spend outside, barbecuing with neighbors,
playing catch with your kids or simply watching the sun rise or
set. And when you sell your home, its curb appeal is one of your
most important assets.
|
You owe it to yourself to make your
home beautiful by letting Hermes design, install and maintain a landscape
that enhances its curb appeal and value.
You have the dream. We have the expertise and resource to turn it
into reality. |
 |
| More than Trees and Grass |
|
|
 |
To many people, landscaping simply means laying sod
and planting a few trees. This may be a good start, but it barely
scratches the surface of what your landscape can become.
Our residential customers often are surprised by the
wide variety of options we offer.
|
- Landscaping
- Design
- Sprinkler Systems
- Sodding
- Seeding
|
- Seasonal Color
- Patios and walks
- Landscape Lighting
- Landscape Management
|
|
 |
 |
Why should you turn to the most trusted name in commercial
landscaping to work on your home? It's because Hermes is also one
of the leading residential landscapers in the area.
|
"It is our intention
to be honest and fair in all our relationships and to keep
our commitments. If we say we will do it, we will. Our customers
will not worry if it is done right or done well and will not
be concerned if they got a fair shake."
Dalton Hermes
CEO
Hermes Landscaping, Inc.

"Residential
is our artistic division. Our projects range from $2,000 to $100,000
or more, with our average being $10,000."
From beginning to end, the focus is on you, our
customer. The first thing our designers do is listen to the homeowner.
|
|
"Our designers do an
inventory and evaluation. "It's
not just `you need six trees and six shrubs,' but questions such
as, 'do you like to be inside or outside, formal or relaxed?'"
"With residential there is a yin and yang
to it. It's where people unwind after work and have birthday parties,
graduation parties and weddings. It's about taking the time to really
figure out what people want, not just plopping trees in the ground."
We are experts on the original designs, with a steady
supply of quality plant material available. We also can introduce
you to the hottest new trends in residential design, from easy-to-use
sprinkler systems to dramatic night lighting.
Finally, Hermes can provide the pest management, watering and routine
maintenance you need to keep your landscape looking its absolute
best, the whole year long.

Here is what you can expect from us:
|
Landscaping is a home improvement project and
requires planning and decision-making.
A series of two to three meetings with your Hermes Landscape Designer
will be necessary to discuss your needs, complete your custom landscape
design, and give us the go ahead. The results of these meetings will
be a beautiful design that appeals to your senses and preserves the
architectural integrity of your home.
- The first meeting is simply a comfortable exchange
of ideas between you and your designer. You describe the landscaping
you've always dreamed of for your home and your designer adds
their expertise and experience to the discussion. This meeting
gives you the opportunity to get answers to your landscaping questions
from an experienced professional. We will also want to hear about
the goals you have for your property exterior over the next few
years. This meeting takes place at your home. You and the designer
can view the property together.
- The second meeting takes place at our office
in Lenexa, Kansas within 10 to 14 days of the initial meeting.
Your landscape design/proposal will be presented for your review
at this time. If the plan meets your expectations and a contract
is signed a third meeting may not be necessary.
- When needed, a final meeting will be held at
our Lenexa office within 10 to 14 days. This meeting involves
all parties who will be approving the landscape plan.
Depending on the backlog of work, it may take
a number of days for work to commence and additional days to complete
the work. Notify your designer if any extenuating circumstances need
to be considered when we schedule your project.

Beautiful Landscape from the Ground Up,
Protect Your Investment
|
|
|
 |
Hermes Company has built its reputation
on what you see above the ground -- beautiful lawns, shrubs and landscape
designs. But we believe what you don't see can be just as important
as what you do.
We are one of the local leaders in designing and installing effective,
efficient sprinkler systems to keep your lawn and other plant materials
looking their best from spring through fall. Instead of lugging hoses
and sprinklers across your lawn, let Hermes design a sprinkler system
from the ground up. |
- Our expert designers develop a plan that is ideally suited to
your landscape, soil types and watering needs. Some "one-size-fits-all"
designs give you more capacity than you need. Or they don't provide
the capacity to water during proper times for properties such
as overnight. Hermes gives you exactly what you need -- no more
and no less.
- We can integrate the design and installation of both your Landscape
and Sprinkler System.

- From our years of experience we have learned to select the equipment
that will provide the best performance for the longest life. And
we will train you how to use the system.
- Communication is the key to our success. We work to minimize
your lawn disturbance. We maintain a clean job site.
- We work only with the best names in the equipment industry,
including Hunter, Weathermatic, Rain Bird, Nelson and Toro.
- When we are done, we have the capability to provide CAD "As-Built"
plans that include any modifications made during installation
(available on CD for perpetual storage).
- We provide a full one-year warranty. And, our service department
can provide parts and service for nearly any system you install.
- With a maintenance contract, 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.
Remember, the best time to design and install a sprinkler system is
before you start planting your landscape. Turn to Hermes, the name
you trust, and let us design the perfect system for your irrigation
needs, from the ground up.

There is a simple reason why homeowners from the governor
of Kansas to your neighbor down the street rely on Hermes. We provide
the most beautiful landscapes in the neighborhood -- on time and
on budget.
Here is what several of your neighbors have to say about
their experiences with Hermes:
|
|
"I am very pleased with the product but
was most impressed with the customer service provided by Hermes.
Hermes delivered the type of service by which reputations are built
and maintained."
|
|
-- Steve Stein
|
|
|
"Hermes' design was very creative, including
a deck that was not the normal neighborhood deck. The follow-up
was excellent, and necessary changes were made very promptly. I
am not mechanically gifted, and Hermes was very patient with me
in learning how to work the sprinkler system."
|
|
-- Blake Smith
|
|
|
"Your company is definitely on the right
track with your obvious emphasis on quality and customer service."
|
|
-- Carlton Howell
|
|
|
"Our initial request was to design with
freedom, and not to be cost-bound. Hermes Landscaping responded
with a lot of talent and a great deal of enthusiasm. Embellishments
like the fountain were entirely Hermes, and, while we had input
into the types of plants we wanted, their placement was left entirely
up to Hermes. We would recommend Hermes, and, in fact, we have already
had a couple of opportunities to do so."
|
 |
|
-- Cedar Creek Homeowner
|
|
|
"I am delighted with your artistic efforts
regarding my landscaping project. The finished effect is a real
testimony to your experience, knowledge and the quality of your
firm. It was a pleasure working with you. You are clearly someone
who likes his work and it is reflected in your art of doing business."
