Nature Scapes
wins 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.
