To Our Customers Regarding COVID-19
To our valued customers,
Recognizing the importance of ongoing Landscape Maintenance for our community’s safety, and cleanliness, Governor Wolf has approved landscapers to continue maintaining our neighborhoods during the COVID-19 shutdown of non-essential businesses. To accompany the order, the Pennsylvania Landscape & Nursery Association has published Best Management Practices to prevent the spread of the Novel Coronavirus while operating.
Though our normal operation is very low-risk with regard to spreading pathogens, we have implemented the PLNA’s BMP’s as well as our own standards to address this public health concern and best protect our customers, and staff, while continuing to serve. These include, but are not limited to:
-
Implementation of daily all-hands communications within the company to inform, educate and reinforce SOPs, BMPs and possible next steps
-
Relax attendance policies to allow any employee who is uncomfortable working to stay home and use PTO or apply for UC
-
Enforce cleaning and sanitation protocols for all common spaces including trucks and equipment
-
Stagger crew start times to minimize congregation at office/shop locations
-
Limit crews to 1 person per truck and have all other crew personnel drive directly to the jobsite
-
Assign one truck to one crew and do not rotate
-
Minimize use of shared equipment and tools
-
Wear gloves as much as possible removing only to eat, drink, or touch your face
-
Crews are ordered to not touch items the homeowner has regular physical contact with (Mailbox, Garden Hose Nozzle, etc.)
-
Crews will not attempt to have physical contact with any customer. If they have a question, rather than knocking as normal, they will call the office and our office personnel will contact you via phone or e-mail
We understand that each of our customers may have different concerns regarding our current events and as we have always maintained, if you for any reason do not feel comfortable with our crew working on your property, please let us know and we will put your work on hold until we hear otherwise from you. Your safety and comfort is very important to us!
