Dear friends,
It’s hard to believe that it’s September, since summer weather continues in the south.
We’re busy weeding and trimming our clients’ gardens to ensure they look manicured, lush and prolific, as part of our Horticulture Maintenance Service.
It’s very important to have a trusted expert minding your southern residence while you’re out of the state or country.
In addition to our weekly Home Watch service, where we inspect your southern residence, what else can be done to ensure that your home is safe and secure?

Horticulture Service and Pool Service. Follow the link to check them out: Suncoast Home Concierge
