As we come to a close on another amazing lawn care season, one that tested some limits and made perseverance necessary at times, we want to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who makes this possible.

There's a lot that goes into running a small business, and a lot of moving parts that most people never see. With that being said, there's a few people we'd like to recognize.

#1 — Our Customers

Without you guys, none of this would be possible. We want to thank each and every one of you for trusting us with your property maintenance. We know you have options, and we truly appreciate you choosing us!

#2 — Referrals

I've always looked at a referral as someone vouching for you when you're not in the room. To me, that's one of the biggest wins you can have as a small business owner. When someone asks who they can trust to take care of their property and you give them our name, that's one of the biggest compliments we could receive. It means a lot knowing people have that kind of confidence in us.

#3 — Those Who Share and Support Our Work

To most of you, liking or sharing a post is three seconds out of your day. No big deal. But to us, it means the world. Every share, recommendation, and kind word helps get our name out there. You're taking time out of your day to support our work and our story, and that's something we genuinely appreciate.

At the end of the day, running a small business isn't always easy. There's plenty of long days, challenges, and things that don't go according to plan. But the relationships we've made and the support we've received make it all worth it.

From all of us at Glanzer Backyard Design, thank you for another great season! We appreciate every one of you more than you know!

Knocked out a quick rock and bullet edger job for a customer before they sold a house! Yard was seeded in August before all the rain hit and came in beautifully! It’s now ready to be someone’s forever home! It is beautiful inside and out!

Competition is the short-term fix. Collaboration is the long-term strategy.

You’re never going to be everyone’s cup of tea, and you can’t be everything to everyone. But one thing that will always pay off in business is building strong relationships and being willing to help each other out.

Happy to lend a hand to a buddy and tackle some extra work so he can keep his crews rolling. That’s what it’s all about; working together, helping each other succeed, and building relationships that last.

We brought in a few dump trailers of fresh black dirt, tilled everything up to create a nice, workable topsoil base, then seeded, fertilized, and installed erosion control blanket to keep everything in place until spring.

At the end of the day, business is about more than competing for the next job. It’s about building relationships, earning trust, and knowing that sometimes the best way to grow your own business is to help someone else grow theirs.

Work together. Build relationships. Play the long game.

❄️ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE 2026–2027 WINTER SEASON ❄️

Glanzer Backyard Design LLC

To our valued customers and community,

As we prepare for the upcoming winter season, we want to take a moment to address the significant increases in operating costs affecting the snow and ice management industry.

Over the past year, the cost of providing professional snow removal and ice management services has increased dramatically. Like many businesses, we are facing rising expenses across nearly every aspect of our operations.

Some of the most significant increases include:

🧂 De-Icing Salt: Bulk road salt prices have increased approximately 40% heading into the 2026 winter season. This represents a substantial increase in one of the most essential materials needed to keep parking lots, sidewalks, and commercial properties safe.

⛽ Fuel Costs: Fuel prices have nearly doubled, significantly increasing the expense of operating our plow trucks, loaders, tractors, and other snow removal equipment.

🚜 Equipment & Replacement Costs: The cost of purchasing, maintaining, repairing, and replacing commercial snow removal equipment continues to rise. Keeping reliable equipment ready to respond during winter storms requires a substantial financial investment.

👷 Employee Wages: Labor costs have increased as we continue to invest in dependable, experienced employees who work long hours, often overnight and during hazardous weather conditions, to keep our customers' properties accessible and safe.

🛡️ Insurance Costs: Commercial liability, vehicle, and equipment insurance premiums have also increased significantly. Proper insurance coverage is essential to protecting our customers, employees, and business.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR OUR CUSTOMERS?

Unfortunately, these rising expenses make pricing adjustments necessary for the upcoming winter season.

We understand that nobody wants to see increased pricing, and we do not take these decisions lightly. However, maintaining the level of service, reliability, equipment readiness, and professionalism our customers expect requires us to adjust our rates to reflect the actual cost of doing business.

Snow and ice management involves much more than simply showing up when it snows. It requires maintaining expensive equipment, purchasing and storing materials, employing trained personnel, carrying proper insurance, and being prepared to respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, often under difficult and unpredictable conditions.

Our commitment to our customers has not changed.

We will continue to prioritize safety, dependable service, timely storm response, and the professional standards our customers have come to expect from Glanzer Backyard Design LLC.

We believe in being transparent about why these adjustments are necessary rather than simply increasing prices without explanation.

We sincerely appreciate the continued trust, understanding, and support of our residential and commercial customers.

Quality service, safety, and reliability come at a cost — and cutting corners is not an option when our customers depend on us.

Thank you for supporting a locally owned and operated business.
