As I write this, the Governor is discussing reopening plans for non-essential businesses and lift restrictions to businesses like mine in upstate NY.. There has also been updates and clarification to EXECUTIVE ORDER 202.6 which gives us the ability to complete maintenance jobs but not aesthetic work.
Here are a few of the outtakes from the executive order:
Landscaping (is considered essential), but only for maintenance or pest control and not cosmetic purposes.
Construction work (is considered essential) that is being completed by a single worker who is the sole employee/worker on the job site.
Enforcement will be conducted by state and local governments, including fines up to $10,000 per violation.
It is my understanding and interpretation of the current executive order that I will be resuming limited work on May 15. I will be working at a slower pace than usual and will have to get my mulch from another more costly supplier. You may see your spring cleanup bills a bit higher due to the increased mulch prices and issue in logistics.
I currently have 4-5 jobs spring cleanups scheduled and would love to continue to put jobs on our job list. I will also be starting limited estimates for summer work, so if you would like to set up an appointment to meet please click here.
