2007 Year-end Newsletter

This year despite a slow economy and slumping housing market, initial reports are indicating that we will have an increase in sales of about 15% from year end last year.

This could not have been possible without the continued support of our new and existing client base. We have found many people that were considering building or moving to a new home have chose to stay in their home instead and chosen to make improvements to their landscaping, with the addition of water features, paver patios, new plant material, and retaining walls.

As the season comes to an end, we are faced with a last minute influx of work from people trying to beat the new service tax law slated to take effect on December 26th of this year.

This leads me into my next segment for this issue; addressing our company position and what we are doing to help our client base avoid paying an unnecessary and poorly planned tax that does nothing but put a band aid on our states slumping tax problem. I think you get our position on the tax.

In closing, we are certain that our informative quarterly newsletters will keep you closely informed with the news and happenings regarding our firm as well as the entire Green industry. The Garpiel Landscaping newsletters will also act as a way for us to continually update our clients on ways we are improving our company in order to provide a complete service in regard to all of your outdoor needs.

from our family to yours, we sigh you a safe and happy Holiday season.

Thank you for you support,
Rob Garpiel II
President, Garpiel Landscaping Company.
