YardApes Landscaping

Shayne headed to Ennis, Montana for the Professional Landcare Network’s summit/think-tank. Hmmm….

Check out the view

Okay, so maybe just Shayne says…

September is the single best month of the year to over-seed. Check out what our landscaper-about-town had to say on the subject in The Spectrum.

A company outing that both parents and kids can enjoy. Here are some pictures, not the best, but dominating the lanes was more important…

Our hats are off to Sue Metcalf who has spent the better part of two years tirelessly raising money for the new walkway at New Milford’s Historical Society. Mrs. Metcalf had to sell many a paver to make it happen. Here are some photos of the walkway YardApes was honored to install.

Congratulations are in order for Shayne who is among the 12 finalists in Total Landscape Care’s Landscaper of the Year contest. The industry magazine has selected Shayne as one of the “best and the brightest landscapers around the country.” He is indeed honored to be in such esteemed company and looks forward to meeting his fellow nominees in November.

Shayne Newman and Giles Vaughan—long-time friends and fellow landscape professionals (YardApes, Inc. and Black Lab Landscaping, respectively) volunteered their time at The Children’s Center. The two-day effort included a playground renovation with new mulch and sod, and installation of a safety mat in the toddler area.  We are really proud of the results. Check out the before and after photos.

A special thanks to Owen Vaughan who gave his dad, Giles a run for his money. Owen brought his own wheelbarrow for work on Sunday and handily measured the area. Owen attends The Children’s Center and takes great pride in its appearance. Little sister Sophie starts next week…Good Luck, Sophie!
