After finding out someone destroyed our mailbox this afternoon, I decided to go out and clean the driveway and pick up the pieces of the mailbox. This blower is the one we use for our lawns… makes quick work of the snow too. Some places were about a foot deep and it handled it easily.

The stripes were looking great while cutting today.  Unusual for August mowing.

*************************

Toluca friends and family…
If you haven’t taken the opportunity to make sure your belongings are secure, I really hope you do soon.

Our security cameras at our shed caught a guy stealing pallets last night. While we only had one pallet outside, another company had several stolen.

This was not even a month and a half since our trailer was stolen.

Unfortunately, there are people who have no respect for other people’s property either living in our community or traveling here to take what is not theirs.

Keep an eye open around your area, and if you see something that doesn’t seem right, please report it.

On Friday, November 8, Gerjets Lawn Care, LLC was a victim of a major theft. One of our enclosed trailers was stolen from outside our building on Santa Fe. This trailer contained mowers and many other pieces of landscaping equipment. Luckily, our trailer was recovered later that evening, but almost all the equipment inside was gone.

On Monday, November 18th, we received a call from a detective from the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department advising us all our stolen equipment had been found in Streator and advised us we could come pick it up. We returned home with all the missing items, all in working condition.

We want to truly thank the Marshall County, IL. Sheriff's Department. Their officers and detectives worked very hard with the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department and several other agencies to recover our equipment. They communicated with us and shared what they could often during their investigation. Their professionalism and resolve in solving this case are truly appreciated.

You don’t often hear these results when something is stolen, so we feel blessed all our equipment was recovered.

We also want to thank those who reached out and offered their assistance and support during this whole ordeal.

The link below is a post from one of the agencies involved in the investigation and recovery of our equipment.

We’re Rollin’ again!

A couple years ago we sold our lawn roller as it was becoming too expensive to maintain and in the repair shop more than it was on the lawns.
Since that time, we have been consistently asked if we were going to start rolling again.
We hadn’t planned on it, but with so many requests for the service, we decided to get another one and are now working on the list for next Spring.

If you would like to get your lawn on the list to be rolled next spring, please send us a message or give us a call.

The video shows Ryan testing it out at our house. With no rain for a long time, the ground is very hard… but this roller was able to smooth out this area.
