FrontlineDeck1At Front Line Custom Decks we're proud of our reputation for quality work and superior customer service. Our business is built on referrals which is why we work hard to guarantee that each of our clients is completely satisfied with every aspect of our service.
 
FrontlineDeck2It's an exciting moment when you decide to improve your outdoor living space with a gorgeous custom deck. You're envisioning creating a new haven of privacy, a spacious place for entertaining, a whole new look for your yard that will add to your property's market value. The fun of this special type of home improvement begins with the dreaming stage, where you're picturing the pleasure you know you will get from your new deck. Our designers work directly with you to create an individualized outdoor living space that is specifically designed for your needs and budget.
 
FrontlineDeck3If your deck has seen better days and is starting to fade, get fuzzy, or even splinter then you should consider refinishing your deck which consists of stripping, power washing, sanding, and finally staining your deck. To ensure the safety of your pets and plants, only biodegradable products are used for this process. Many customers have been amazed how their refinished deck or fence looks like it did when it was new!

Give Front Line Custom Decks a call today!  You'll be glad you did.

RCrockymountainscapes
We recently did a ribbon cutting for Rocky Mountain Scapes. These guys are fantastic.... and they cater to your budget! They'll design and install your entire landscape OR they can help you redesign and you can do it yourself. They'll go to the garden center and pick up your new plants and flowers and plant them... or they'll drop them off for you to plant yourself. They will work with what you can afford! Summer is coming! Give them a call today at (303) 324-1745
What's New???
Seriously... it seems like we are working on a new program or event every week.  I hope you get down this far in Grand Views to read about it!  LOL

ArvadaAdventuresLogoYour Member Retention Committee has come up with Arvada Adventures!  In the last survey I sent out, one of the things we hear loud and clear was that some of you just didn't want to attend a business after hours from 5-7pm because you've been selling your business all day long and the last thing you want to do at quittin' time was sell your business some more.  We've got an a couple of answers for that!  Our business after hours aren't like work!  You've got to stop by one coming up and check it out.  It's social hour... it's happy hour... it's fun.

Still not sold on that.  That's okay.  We've come up with Arvada Adventures to get our members together and explore Arvada.  Let's get out and have some fun after work!  Our first Arvada Adventure will be May 25th at Streets Fitness, 12520 W 64th Avenue (south west corner of 64th & Ward Road) from 5:00 - 6:00pm where we will put on our workout gear and take a boxing class.  This will be a beginner boxing class so don't get nervous!  We'll be punching bags, not people!  You don't need to bring gloves, they have them there for you to use.

Our next Arvada Adventure will be a night out at the Arvada Colts home opener on June 3rd at 7:30pm.  Bring your lawn chair, bleacher seating is limited.  These baseball games are free and are fun for the whole family!  So bring the whole family with you!  The Arvada Colts is our semi-professional baseball team.  They will be playing home games out at Long Lake Ranch (on 64th Avenue out by Highway 93) on Friday nights and Sundays beginning June 3rd through the end of July.  To see a schedule of dates and game times go to www.ArvadaColts.com.
I hope you have enjoyed this week's edition of Grand Views.  If you have something you would like to have considered for Grand Views, email it to me at Dot@ArvadaChamber.org.  You must be a member in good standing with the Arvada Chamber of Commerce.
 
Have a successful week,
