Consumers'
Choice
Again!
  |
by
Mike Kneeland
For
the second year in a row Nature Scapes was
awarded a Best of Class Consumer’s Choice Award
in the category of Commercial Landscaping.
Value, service, and professionalism were the
criteria scrutinized by 600 Senior Managers to
rate 30 categories of businesses in the
Metro-Atlanta area.
Harris Interactive,
an online service of the Harris Poll, conducted
the poll in late 2005. Respondents who were
familiar with commercial landscaping companies
were asked to select the best companies
according the to the criteria described above as
well as the appearance and other items they may
feel important in making the choice. No more
than three companies can be represented in any
given category.
“It is an honor and an
accomplishment to be distinguished as one of the
best when you consider the number of landscape
companies in the Metro area,” stated Rick
Upchurch, owner and President, and added, “my
sincere thanks goes to both the Managers who
participated in naming us to this elite status
and our dedicated work team that made this
possible.”
This vote of confidence
continues to motivate us to work close with our
customers to constantly improve our service for
them and to build trust and satisfaction in all
we do as an
organization. | |

Service.
Success. Value.
The
success of your property is all about value. It's
the value of an environment that feels
right when people see it...the value of
places that communicate a certain image and
lifestyle...and, of course, the economic value of
your property in the marketplace of today and
tomorrow.
It's easy to feel good about a
real estate investment when property values are
high. But if property values fall, people lose
confidence, not to mention money.
That's
why you care about your
landscaping.
Landscaping is the difference
between a property that looks nice and a property
that commands attention. It's the difference
between a property that looks faded one year after
installation and one that looks better and better
with each passing season. It's the difference
between most landscape companies and Nature
Scapes.
