ALL SPRING CLEANUPS ARE NOW POSTPONED!

As per the latest NYS government’s recent exemption rulings and through guidance through the NYS Nursery and Landscape Association, landscapers in NYS may perform essential services for property maintenance and safety.

This includes care & maintenance of lawns and plants, allowing mowing and plant care but not new installations.

However, in support of the many families and businesses who are ‘staying home’, Jacrist will be postponing ALL SPRING CLEANUPS until further notice, pending clearance from NYS.

Unfortunately until further notice, Jacrist will not be accepting any new cleanup clients.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all who are being affected by this virus and the economic repercussions due to work restrictions, and for all those in leadership and service positions, that they may be safe and conscientious in completing their responsibilities.

Current Status of Work Completion

So as it now stands, Jacrist will comply with the current NYS guidelines and will complete only Spring Cleanups, as we are exempt from the ‘Stay At Home’ rule under Building Grounds and Maintenance.

Starting April 1st, weather and site conditions allowing, we will follow given medical protocol with only a two or three-man crew.

This also means we WILL NOT BE completing any new landscaping or hardscaping projects until given the go ahead by NYS.

We look forward to respectfully and safely completing our contracted service to you in a timely and conscientious manner as best we can.

We will continue to pray for our whole community, especially those on the front line of serving others medically and in community service, to stay safe and protected.

For those forced who remain at home, please continue to keep your families safe and occupied, try to create new routines with better, more healthful habits; and for all of us, that we may emerge from this experience, able to recuperate economically, physically stronger and more socially connected, as time allows.

This Can’t be Right~

This picture was taken close to the beginning of ‘Jacrist time’ with my first maintenance crew with Bob, Nelson and Ronny.

It feels like I went through a time warp wormhole as I look back and realize, “Wow! This will be my 42nd year getting to do this? That can’t be right!!!

Who would have thought I could still stay ahead of the greenhorns at this age? ?

 

Ready To Plant Yet?

Looking for an easy project you can benefit from now?
Why not start a lettuce or herb garden in long plastic planters you can hang off your deck or under your kitchen window?
(You can bring it inside at night to protect it from the cold)
