Scott Poynter, Quality Service Manager in Florida, recognizes Curb Appeal Landscape Services, Inc. for Landscape CP of the year 2011. Owner, Tony Gomez, started out in the landscaping business working as a sales manager for another company before his wife, Joyce, talked him into opening his own landscape company. After owning and operating Curb Appeal for nearly 10 years, Tony is most proud of the words of praise he receives from every customer on a regular basis. Tony feels that in these tough economic times you must go the extra mile and make an initiative. Scott Poynter acknowledges Curb Appeal and Tony for truly being on top of his properties--he's greatly improved the locations he took over in the Tampa/Lakeland market. Unfortunately, Tony lost his wife to cancer in 2006. He is a full time dad, while also running his company. He and his two children are actively involved in the Relay for Life in Coquina Beach, an overnight walk to raise money for cancer research. Tony shared that he believes that "every day is a gift and an opportunity to help my kids continue to heal from the loss of their mom. I am grateful for all of my clients that trust us with their landscape needs and take that very seriously." We look forward to working with Tony for many years to come.

Following World War II, Bill Senske started a small lawn care and pest control company in Spokane Washington. Bill was an entrepreneur, opening the doors to their new business in 1947 with wife Liz at his side handling the office duties. The company was instrumental in ridding downtown Spokane of a horrendous rodent infestation. After the demise of over 10,000 rats, Spokane was designated a "rat free city" in 1952. Bill's early success with pest control established his reputation as the region's top expert on rodent control. They have become a leader in their industry with 7 Branch locations within Washington, Idaho and Utah. Senske currently services DENTCO sites in UT, ID and WA. The Senske divisions always go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. The Boise ID branch is managed by Tony Fisher and his key managers Toby and Pat have done an outstanding job this season. Bill McGee, Quality Service Manager, acknowledges Senske Lawn and Tree Care for taking ownership and being committed to providing superior quality service.
