Happy New Year from the Property Pros team! We hope you had a wonderful holiday season with your families and loved ones. The Pros had a great time celebrating with our employees and spreading some holiday spirit throughout our community.

In 2024, we’re starting to plan our projects early so come spring, we are well into the construction phase! Don’t wait until the snow thaws to get your project on the books - read below for more information on our design and build process and why you may want to start planning your project sooner, rather than later.

Speaking of projects, check out our 2023 recap video below, if you missed it last month! Once again, thank you to everyone involved in making last year a success - from our lovely clients and hardworking employees to the vendors that help make these transformations happen. Last year was a hit because of you!

January always gives us motivation for a fresh start, but there’s something about taking down holiday decorations that urges us to hold onto that coziness the holidays bring all year round. So, the question is... How can we transition that same warm, inviting feeling to our outdoor spaces in 2024?

Maybe that’s a full landscape overhaul around your property to add new colors and vibrancy, a covered patio for dinners outside, or a custom firepit for the whole family to gather around. Whatever you’re planning, don’t wait until the weather warms up to get started. There’s plenty of work to be done before we even break ground!

Why start planning now?

Even though many people don't think about starting a landscape project until spring is in sight, the beginning of the year is a great time to get ahead of the curve.

Designers may be a bit more flexible with their availability, and coordinating projects early often means beating the rush of people thinking about renovations as the snow starts to thaw. Contact us now to schedule a consultation and get started on your 2024 project!

Want to keep up-to-date with home trends, quick tips, and fun facts (with a few clever puns sprinkled in the mix)? Then our Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube pages are where you need to be! While we share a bit more detail on seasonal updates and to-dos here in the monthly newsletter, our social media pages are the place to see what we’re up to each week with more behind-the-scenes videos, details on the exact materials we're using, and links to our blogs with more in-depth information on important topics! 

PS - It’s also where we like to share all the office shenanigans. If you're not there, you’re missing out!

Welcome to the team, Alex Heffelmire!

In the Commercial Maintenance Account Manager role, Alex will act as the main point-of-contact and liaison between our team and the many commercial properties and HOA communities we serve.

Alex came to Property Pros after previously serving in the US Navy and working in the landscaping industry for over 5 years. He thrives on the challenge of meeting and exceeding clients' expectations and enjoys knowing he helped create their new favorite space to relax and entertain. When Alex is not in the office, you can find him enjoying the outdoors with his 9-year-old son or cheering on his beloved Notre Dame teams!
