Three Things You Need to Know About Parke’s Snow Removal Services

March 7, 2024December 8, 2016 by Erica Thomas

It’s getting cold outside in Nashville and soon there will be flurries and even snow! But did you know that Parke’s services don’t end once the snow moves in? That’s right! Our arborists and landscapers work hard all year long, including the winter. So as the warmer weather moves out of the Middle Tennessee area and the cold air settles in, remember us for your winter landscape needs like emergency tree care services and snow removal. With the holidays rapidly approaching and the daylight hours getting shorter, one of the last things you need to worry about is shoveling snow. Luckily, that’s where we come in. We can complete the chore for you so you can be on your way doing what’s important — spending time with your family and friends.

So what should you know about our snow removal services before you call? Here are a few things to consider:

What to Expect from The Parke Company’s Snow Removal

No hassle

The biggest thing to consider for our snow removal services is how easy it is. There’s really no reason why you should not take advantage of this landscape service. We not only remove the snow from your driveways and sidewalks, but also salt them to keep them safe and walkable. All you need to do is give us a call and we can do the rest. We know you have places to be so let us get to work and you’ll have snow and ice removed in no time.

Great gift idea for elderly

Still looking for the right gift for your grandparents? Call us today to discuss the options of buying snow removal services for them! It’s a great gift option for those who can’t get out and work on their landscape, especially in the winter. This is also a great idea for those who might be more susceptible to falls and shouldn’t be removing snow or salting sidewalks. Give our landscape crew a call today to discuss the options. You’ll definitely win the award for most creative and useful gift of the year.

Book Now

Most people wait until they need the services before they give us a call. However we recommend calling us now to book any snow removal services you might need during the winter months. Calling now ensures that you receive priority for when you need the services. In addition, you receive preferential treatment for emergency tree care services should you need it during a severe winter storm. Though we never anticipate (or want) winter storms, they are still common in the Middle Tennessee area so it’s important to be prepared.

So whether you are too busy or need a gift for someone who can’t shovel snow themselves, consider our snow removal services. And while you’re chatting with us, discuss all the other services our arborists and landscape professionals offer. From tree care, emergency services and all the other landscape services, we have a variety available to suit your needs. And just because it’s getting colder doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be planning for the spring months nor does it mean you might not need our winter services soon. Time flies, Nashvillians, so be prepared! Contact an arborist today for more information.

Parke’s Gift Guide for the Holiday Season

March 7, 2024November 17, 2016 by Erica Thomas

The holiday season is rapidly approaching. Nashville stores are already full of Christmas decorations and early Black Friday sales. But if you are in the market this year to give something more unique than a holiday gift set, consider the many tree services we offer at the Parke Company! If you or someone you know and love owns their own home, you know how expensive it can be so why not treat them to a little monetary reprieve and give them a gift that keeps on giving? Our arborists offer a variety of landscape and tree services, but there are several that would be truly special this holiday season. Here are a few suggestions:

Give a live Christmas tree
This gift idea is easily one of our favorites. If you know someone who’s always wanted a live Christmas tree, this is a great opportunity. With the help of our arborists, we can make their Christmas dream come true! Our crew will install the tree and then when the holidays are over, they will transplant the tree in the backyard. This is not only a present for the holidays, but it allows the tree to live for many years to come. If you are interested in purchasing a live tree for someone, be sure to do it soon so they have it in time!

Buy a holiday decoration service
One of our favorite landscape services we offer is decorating. If you know someone who loves to decorate the outside of their home, but perhaps can no longer do so because of old age or because they’re too busy, this is a great gift! We can work with you or the gift recipient to ensure the decorations are exactly what you/they want. It’s also a great way to surprise folks you love with a little holiday cheer. However, like the live trees, schedule this landscape service sooner rather than later to get your name in the books.

Buy a shrub, plant or tree using online store
Did you know you can purchase trees, plants and shrubs on our online store? That’s right! It’s an easy and effective way to purchase what you like at your own convenience. Our online store is a great tool for gift-giving this season because it allows you to pick out exactly what you want to give at the price point you can afford. Though our online store is a great tool for the holidays, it’s also a great gift-buying experience for other occasions, such as a housewarming or congratulatory event. Just drop what you want in your cart, pay and we will call you to schedule a time to come out and plant.

Don’t let the thought of Christmas shopping overwhelm you this year. With the help of our landscape and arborists, your holiday shopping can be finished in a jiffy! And don’t forget – there is always room to buy a little gift for yourself, too. Whether it’s one of the landscape or tree services listed above or something else, our team of experienced professionals have got you covered. Want more information? Give us a call today! Happy Holidays, Nashvillians!

Benefits to Buying Larger Maintenance Packages

March 7, 2024August 3, 2016 by Erica Thomas

parke-company-emergency-services-tree-landscape-irrigation-maintenance-blog-Benefits-to-Buying-Larger-Maintenance-Packages-tree-work Many of our customers ask us how they can get more bang for their buck when they schedule tree care or landscape services. And we understand the importance of a good deal! Our arborists and landscape crew work hard to ensure that we stay within our customers’ budgets all the while making sure landscapes look phenomenal and their trees are well-taken care of. With that said, one of our biggest recommendations for customers who are looking to score deals is to consider becoming one of Parke’s maintenance customers. This ensures you’ll save more money in the long run with a larger package of services that is consistently maintained. Though it might be somewhat of an investment on the front end, it will surely reward you long-term.

The Benefits of a Larger Landscape Maintenance Package

Fewer visits

Though you might enjoy having us stop by to care for your landscape, we understand that you’re a busy person. Signing up for the maintenance package requires fewer visits because we will be able to work within your schedule and complete projects efficiently. Obviously, things come up and some issues may require more frequent services, but becoming a Parke maintenance customer allows us to evaluate and plan as best as possible to make sure we’re serving you in the best ways.

Easy payment

Like we’ve already said, larger packages actually save you money in the long run, but we understand that many may not have the payment all ready up-front (especially with Metro kids going back to school soon)! We offer auto payment plans and credit card payments online, making it much easier to fit in your monthly budget. The Parke Company also offers discounts on the overall cost if it can be paid upfront.

No overlap

One of the biggest benefits to purchasing comprehensive tree care or landscape packages is avoiding overlap. This happens when choosing to complete smaller projects over a longer period of time. You end up receiving tree care or landscape services that you don’t necessarily need at the time. And while it might seem appealing to try to save some money, it can end up being a waste.

Our team of arborists and landscape crew know that customer satisfaction is key. Have questions? We are always available to answer any questions you might have about your trees, branches, landscape and even upcoming fall decorations. We want to fit in your schedule and your budget while doing our jobs effectively and efficiently. It’s the best way to make sure you’re happy, and ensure that your trees and landscape prosper.

We might be getting closer to the fall, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get started with any landscape or tree care services. Already one of our clients? Call an arborist today to see how you might be able to consolidate your services and become one of the many Parke maintenance customers. We’ve got all your tree care or landscape services you’ll need to show off your yard in the coming year. From irrigation systems to emergency tree services, we’ve got you covered. Contact us today for more information.

Three Benefits to Irrigating Your Lawn with Parke

March 7, 2024July 27, 2016 by Erica Thomas

Parke’s main bread and butter is our tree care. And while we have many arborists who take care of your trees, we also provide many landscape and lawn services for our customers. The Parke Company’s team of specialists can take care of your landscape and irrigation services too. With just a simple phone call, our talented crew of landscape workers can come out and do an overhaul on your lawn and landscape. And though we have a variety of landscape services available, one of the biggest and most valuable services we offer is irrigation.

Irrigation is valuable for a variety of reasons like saving money and conserving water. It’s an affordable way to ensure your lawn looks beautiful all year long and it requires minimal work from you, our customer. Though many people think spraying their lawn and landscape with a hose every so often is a good enough solution to keeping the grass green, there’s so much more that goes into it. Here are a few significant benefits to installing an irrigation system in your lawn.

Why You Should Trust The Parke Company with Irrigation

Saves Money

Believe it or not, utilizing an irrigation system will actually save you more money in the long run. Though the initial cost of installing the system in your landscape might seem costly, it pays for itself long-term. No more paying for wasted water; no more paying for reseeding or treating your lawn due to dehydration or other factors. Having an irrigation system that maintains the health of your lawn and landscape is a great way to keep your landscape budget in check.

Conserve water

A common mistake when irrigating your own lawn is wasting water. Many people don’t understand how much water is really needed when hydrating their landscapes, and it’s easy to be wasteful. Installing an irrigation system prevents water runoff and overwatering. And though rain gardens are great ways to filter runoff water, it’s meant for rain, not the water you’re paying for.

Save Time

To us, this is the biggest reason to install an irrigation system. You’re a busy person with a busy schedule. You might not always have time to go outside and water your lawn or the rest of your landscape. You may also need to go out of town on occasion. And if you have any landscape or lawn issues, Parke will be at your doorstep to take care of them, just like they take care of your trees.

Still not sure if getting an irrigation system is right for you? Call one of our landscape specialists today. They’ll be happy to discuss any questions you have and steer you in the right direction. Already have an irrigation system but need someone to come and take a look at it for maintenance? We can help with that too! Call us for lawn and other landscape maintenance needs as well as any services you need for your trees. Get your name in our books before summertime runs out!
