As President of the Traditions HOA, I cannot begin to emphasize how important it is to have such a great Landscape service tbat has made our Community outstanding in appearance and quality. We recently experienced a resident selling their home for a very substantial gain which I feel has much to do with the superior appearance of our individ ual residences and common ground areas.

To whom it may concern

In 20 I3, HoJe in the Wall Golf Club made the decision to outsource the landscape maintenance of our frontage arid clubhouse area for the fast time in the club's history. After meeting with several landscape companies, we choose GulfScapes as our landscape provider due to tbeir detailed bid package, competitive pricing and their willingness to listen and address our specific concerns and needs in their proposal.

Since taking over in October of 2013, GulfScapes has exceeded our expectations. Mark Grimes and his team have worked hard to improve the landscaping along ow· frontage as well as continu ing to maintain the clubhouse area to the high
standa rds ow· members are accustomed to and expect. ln addition, GulfScapes has done a great job of adjusting their schedules to minimize the impact of their duties to our members and players during the busy winter season.

The decision to outsow·ce our landscape maintenance was not an easy one for our members. But since bringing GulfScape s on boatd, I have received nothing but positive feedback from our general membership and board members. As the Golf Superintendent l have found them to be a pleasure to work with, willing to take input regarding the maintenance oftbe Celebration Bermuda turf as well as presenting recommendations to us for improving the landscape. My Assistant Golf

Course Superi ntendent and I have a consistent open line of communication with the GulfScapes management tea,m
are always responsive to our needs and requests.

and they

I confidently recommend GulfScapes as your landscape service provider. lf T can provide any fuither information regarding GulfScapes, please feel free to contact me.

John O'Flaberty
President, Tradition, The Coach Homes at Grey Oaks HOA 2314 Tradition Way # l 02
Naples, FL 34105

I am writing this letter to recommend GulfScapes Landscape Management Services for your landscape needs. I am president of the Traditions Coach Homes Homeowners Association. Our neighborhood has 15 four-unit buildings and 2 pool faciLities and is part of the Grey Oaks community. Grey Oaks is well known for their horticultural focus and maintaining a vibrant landscape is part of our culture. My board is responsible for hiring and directing landscape services.

When the community was turned over to the association 2½ years ago the board felt that our landscape maintenance was adequate but not at a higb enough level for a Grey Oaks neighborhood. We consulted with the head of Grey Oaks Landscape Management and she recommended GulfScapes. We made the switch and are very pleased.

GulfScapes provides exceptional service for several reasons:
Management: Our management contact is Chuck Tenley. He is readily available, proactive and knowledgeable. We have established a strong business relationship, he understands our priorities and
guidelines and he is an excellent communicator. We conduct regular walking tours of the neighborhood and develop pliorities and timetables. It works well.
Fertilization/applications: Mike Barrow has specialized training with fertilization, insecticides and herbicides. Recently, he recognized early infestation of white fly. We immediately addressed the
situation and prevented a potential major problem. We have also jointly developed a palm tree maintenance program that has stemmed issues from this year1s erratic weather.
Crew Specialization: GulfScapes has different crews for mowing and trimming. Consequently the crews learn the nuances of the neighborhood and are efficient and capable. Specifically, the trim group has
made a huge difference. Our plant material is healthier and more attractive because of their expertise.
Professionalism: They get it done1ight the first time and on schedule.
I highly recommend GulfScapes. If you have any questions or would lil<e more information, you can contact me at 404-680-1172 or at johnhoabiz @ g mail.com .

Sincerely ,

Re: Letter of Recommendation Dear Chuck,
I completely recommend Gulfscapes Landscape Management Service for all your landscaping needs.
We have been using their services for several years now, and we have never been disappointed in either the quality of work or the amount we've paid.

Esperia's residents have continually commented on the appearance of our grounds since Gulfscapes Landscape Management Service has been taking care of our property. The grass has never been so lush and the trees so healthy.

Chuck Tenley and his team are dedicated and professional, and are not interested in doing something simply as they tan charge for it. Instead, they work carefully with you, and together you decide on the best approach for your property. This is how a business like this should be run.

I therefore highly recommend Gulfscapes Landscape Management Service without reservation. sincerely hope you get to experience their wonderful work and customer service like we do. If you need further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 239-498-7541.
