Cleary Bros can help you get a rebate from the Contra Costa Water District for lawn removal

Our commercial customers can get up to $5000* back for removing lawn and replacing it with Bay Friendly plants installed with drip irrigation.  Call your account manger and they will get this rebate rolling.  If you are not one of our customers, our sales representative will be happy to meet with you to discuss this and other cost saving programs with you.

Money may not grow on trees, but it does grow in the grass.

It’s time for some fruit control

 

Spring is here! We have started spraying plum trees for fruit control. Those trees are pretty but the fruit can be a mess!

A compliment from a resident at one of our accounts, sent to the property manager.

“Hi Natalie:

Our compliments to Cleary Bros. gardeners on the great job they are doing with the MCE property. We just wanted to show our appreciation for the very nice work as our property has never looked better. It’s so nice to walk around and enjoy the park-like landscaping, especially this time of year. The attention to detail, specifically of the attractive pruning of all the bushes, has not gone unnoticed.

We appreciate having truly professional gardeners tending to our landscaping which is our home.

Sincerely,
Steven & Frances —–”

It’s time to start the heavy natural pruning! Training is key

A class in proper pruning

David helps with instruction on pruning

I happened across a training event for some of our gardeners. One of the branches supervisors gathered his team of about 35 gardeners to review proper hard pruning. For most, it was a review. For the new guys, it was an education. Sadly, few companies spend time training on proper horticulture. We are gardeners!  David, shown above has been a foreman with Cleary Bros for over 15 years.  He’s an amazing guy-.

Is it Fall Time

The days are getting shorter and the temperatures will be dropping soon. It’s a great time for planting. Roots love the Fall!

Cleary Bros Foreman saves a home from burning

While at a job site in Pleasant Hill, Salvador Silva notices some smoke in the homeowners association that he and his crew take care of. He ran over to the house and pounded on the door- no body was home. He ran to the side and looked in the window to see a pan on the stove that was on fire. A quick call to 911 by Lorena back at the office…the fire department arrived in minutes. The home was saved! Great job Salvador!
