Texas Outdoors Landscape Contractor

I have to bring back the abominable snowman at least once every winter. He's making a comeback this weekend. Most people don't understand that an occasional dip into sub-freezing temps overnight really doesn't present a problem. But a 2 to 3 day blast of sub freezing temps can cause damage to your pool equipment and hose bibs and whatever else, especially if they are not protected from a North wind. Best way I have found and I use for myself, is to wrap your pool equipment with old fashioned incandescent Christmas lights and tent the equipment with landscape fabric. Never has anyone I've known who has done this ever had a problem. If you want our help, start lining us up now because I can assure you the phone starts ringing on Thursday when everyone starts thinking about what they can do to eliminate any damage for the weekend.

I met a regular customer today who I personally haven't seen in a long time. We shot the breeze as they say and reminisced a bit. I reminded her that next year will be 20 yrs that we've known each other and 20 yrs that we've been coming every week. It was a bit emotional for both of us, honestly, to stop and think about that. You can imagine in 20 yrs, I've been through all of life's stages with a lot of them. I've never really been in the landscape business; in retrospect, I've been in the people business all these years. It has been a good run.
