Christmas Decor brightens up a new home in Hawkinsville, GA for a wounded Marine soldier

Collage

Through the Decorated Family program at Christmas Decor, Paulk Outdoors was able to assist the organization Homes For Our Troops this year.  They build new homes for soldiers that have been wounded in service.  The home of Marine Corporal James “Michael” Boucher was built specifically to meet his needs since he had lost both legs while on foot patrol in Afghanistan.  His new home is completely wheelchair accessible, from the kitchen to the bathroom to the front door and built specifically to help Corporal Boucher live a normal independent life.  Since the home would be presented to him in December, Homes For Our Troops thought it would be a perfect addition to his new home to be decorated by Christmas Decor.  The key ceremony was held on December 7th, and Paulk Outdoors was honored to be a part of this project for such a deserving veteran.

In true US Marine fashion, loss of limbs will not stop this veteran

Michael Boucher, along with his friend and fellow recipient of a new home Tony Mullis, have not let the injuries they obtained by an IED blast in Afghanistan stop them from continuing to live a normal life. They enjoy hunting and fishing and have now started a non-profit organization called Amputee Outdoors, which helps fellow severely injured veterans recover emotionally and physically through outdoor sporting activities.  Homes For Our Troops could not have picked two more deserving veterans than these two Marines.

Christmas Décor is an international franchise with over 350 locations and Paulk Outdoors services the Henry, Clayton, Fayette and Coweta counties in Georgia. Annually Christmas Décor holds a conference for all franchises with this year’s conference being held at the Aria Spa and Resort in Las Vegas, NV. Paulk Outdoors received a distinctive award – “Best Small Commercial Design” for the 2012 holiday season. This award was for our holiday decorating display at Scarlett’s Retreat Day Spa located on Jonesboro Street just off the historic town square in McDonough, GA.  The award is of special meaning to Paulk Outdoors due to Scarlett’s Retreat’s rich history and significance within our company.

Decorating a building rich with historical elegance

Christmas Decor stunning holiday displayScarlett’s Retreat Day Spa was constructed in 1826 when McDonough was first incorporated and originally sat where the Welcome Center currently is located. The building was moved to its current location in the 1920’s. It was originally named the Globe Hotel and the sign still hangs on the building. Scarlett’s Retreat is one of only three buildings left in Henry County that still have the original log foundation. It is a certified historic building and is the oldest original building in the city. It is also rumored to have served as a confederate hospital during the Civil War. Paulk Outdoors is proud to decorate this unique building with an elegant holiday display that the community looks forward to each year for over a decade.

Lawn maintenance changing with the seasons

Lawn Maintenance Company

Annually Paulk Outdoors, Inc. evaluates the average total time spent on each lawn maintenance visit, taking into account both dormant season visits and the heavy growing season, versus the amount being charged to the customer for their lawn maintenance.

Using Big Data to Create Efficient Lawn Maintenance Schedules.

Due to the heavy rains, we are finding that lawns are growing much faster and thicker than last year.  We have developed a more balanced lawn maintenance schedule to accommodate the needs of our customers during this heavy growing season.  With the balanced schedule our customers receive weekly visits during the heavy growing months (May, June, July, & August), bi-weekly visits during the slower months (April, September, October, & November), and monthly visits during the dormant months (December, January, February, & March), thus eliminating the standard bi-weekly maintenance schedule altogether.

This schedule has proven to be very beneficial for both the customer and the company, especially for our customers with extremely healthy and quick-growing grass. Efficient Lawn Maintenance scheduling benefits are:

  • You don’t pay for lawn maintenance when it isn’t needed.
  • Less fuel used by not cutting when the grass isn’t growing.
  • Avoid overgrown lawns during rainy periods.
  • Healthier lawns due to more frequent cuts during growing season.

What lawn maintenance schedule are you on?  Call today to receive a quote for our new balanced schedule and see the difference it makes in the beauty of your lawn.

It’s time for Spring aeration of your lawn. Are you ready?

Lawn aeration benefits for grass

Spring is here and that means your lawn will need some special attention.  Core aeration is the process of making thousands of small holes in the turf.  These holes allow fertilizer, water and air to reach the root zone quickly which results in new growth and increased root development.  The holes that are made by core aeration also open up the soil and helps reduce thatch build up and soil compaction, allowing your lawn to breathe and grow.

Is your lawn free to breath this Spring?  Call today to schedule a quote for aeration of your lawn.

NiteTime Decor takes care of outdoor lighting at a contemporary Atlanta fish house

Recently NiteTime Decor by Paulk Outdoors received a very special request by a unique Atlanta business.  We were approached by a new restaurant in the Midtown section of Atlanta to do some specialty outdoor lighting at their unique business structure.  With ten years experience behind him Jason Paulk, the owner of Paulk Outdoors, found the request to be challenging yet doable.  The end result is a stunningly lit structure that will add excitement to the Midtown Atlanta area.

Lure

Nature as a structure focal point

The restaurant has two large trees in the center of it that grow through the building.  The ceiling of the structure is a louver system that can be open during nice weather and closed during inclement weather.  Lure, a contemporary Atlanta fish house, wanted to light these two trees both inside and outside of the building.  Jason combined his knowledge of outdoor lighting and holiday lighting from NiteTime Decor and Christmas Decor to create a lighting display that fit the request and the structure.  If you have an area that you would like some specialty outdoor lighting added to contact our office to schedule a time for Jason to come and show you how we can show it off.
