Greetings!
Welcome to Seacrest Services' E-Newsletter!
I'm proud to announce that the South Florida Business Journal ranks Seacrest Services the 5th Largest Landscaper in South Florida. Read the press release below for more information:
South Florida's leader in full-service property management is also one of the area's top landscape companies, according to the South Florida Business Journal. West Palm Beach-based Seacrest Services, Inc. was ranked as the fifth largest landscaping company in the region in the August 26, 2011, edition of the newspaper.
Published annually, the list ranks businesses by the previous year's revenues. Seacrest was ranked fifth based on the company's 2010 landscaping revenues of $11.3 million.
"For years we have been proud to be a leader in the property management industry in South Florida," says Paul Licata, sales and marketing manager with Seacrest. "And, now to have one division of Seacrest - the landscape division - earn the distinction as a leader in its own right is a testimony to our company's commitment to excellence in all areas."
The Business Journal's list was based on each company's combined annual revenues of both residential and commercial landscaping. According to Licata, had the list been solely comprised of residential landscaping, Seacrest would have held the number one spot.
Seacrest Services, Inc. is the state's most rapidly expanding full-service property management company. With the company's new hires this summer nearing 50 positions, Seacrest is expected to move up to No. 13 on the Palm Beach County Business Development Board's list of largest employers in the county.
In addition to its property management and landscape division, Seacrest Services also operates janitorial, construction services, accounting and financial services, and pest control divisions servicing residential developments throughout South Florida. Seacrest's unique TQM (Total Quality Management) program has helped the company become a leader in all areas of its operations.
Sincerely,
Paul Licata
Sales & Marketing Manager

Seacrest News:
Broward County's 40 Year Building Safety Inspection Program
In a drive to minimize the possibility of future building failures and be better prepared for hurricane winds, Broward County created the "40 Year and Older Building Safety Inspection Program" to take effect in January 2006. The program calls for structural and electrical safety inspections for buildings 40 years old or older and every ten years thereafter.
What follows comes from the Broward County Code Appeals website:
"Each January a list of buildings meeting the program requirements are provided to Building Officials from a database that the Board of Rules and Appeals obtains from the County Property Appraiser's Office. The program is then to be administrated by the City Building Department or the County Building Department and a notification letter is sent. The owner of a building or structure shall then furnish within 90 days the required Safety Inspection forms to the Building Official prepared by an engineer or architect. In the event that repairs are necessary, the owner has 180 days from the date of the building inspection report in which to correct the structural and electrical deficiencies that pose an immediate threat to life safety. Repairs that are incidental and non life threatening can be completed at a later date."
The structural and electrical inspections are extensive. Seacrest Services has checked with various engineering firms and are told they will need to access the interiors of some percentage of the residences in any given building to comply with the electrical safety inspection.
For further information, copies of the necessary forms and a scope of the inspection items please check out the Broward County link: http://www.broward.org/CodeAppeals/Documents/bsi2009.pdf |

Seacrest Landscape Tip
Control those unwanted and unsightly weeds in your yard by using a carefully planned weed control program. Since summer rains stimulate growth, the low temperatures and humidity during fall and winter months create an ideal time to have your Landscape Professional apply a weed and feed product. Weed and feed products, such as Atrazine are best applied in cooler months to help eradicate unappealing weeds. Ask one of Seacrest's Landscape Professionals which weed control program is best suited for your yard.

Seacrest Pest Control Tip
As we enter the Fall season in Florida, the slightly cooler temperatures create an inviting environment for mice and rats. Rodents such as the House mouse, Roof rat, and Norway rat are always looking for a dry, hidden spot to feed and breed. Make sure your home is protected and be aware of any signs of infestation.
Roof rat (top), Norway rat (middle), and house mouse (bottom
Knowing where they are likely to go is important to controlling them. Rats use any method to get to food, water or shelter. You can find them running on pipes, narrow ledges, and utility wires. Rats, especially roof rats, will climb anything their claws will hold on to, including wires, pipes, and rough walls. Because rats are excellent swimmers, they often live in sewers and occasionally enter homes through toilets.
Start by identifying rat and mouse signs. You can easily recognize rodent problems by finding droppings around your house. Old droppings are gray, dusty, and will crumble. Fresh droppings are black, shiny, and puttylike. Check building material, windows, doors, and screens for holes or gnaw marks. Along baseboards you may notice dark greasy rubmarks appearing from contact with the rodent's body. You may also notice sounds in the walls or attic.
Seacrest Services Pest Control division takes the necessary steps to control and eliminate rodent problems in your home. Here is just a few examples of how we can help control rats or mice in your home:
-Seal any openings larger than ¼ inch and repair any holes in building material, windows, doors, and screens.
-Set up professional trap stations to control pests without having to resort to the use of poisons.
-Trim bushes and tree branches away from the home so they do not touch the building's exterior.
