Welcome to Rob’s first posting. Aren’t you excited? I know I am! Now I know you are probably asking yourself what in the world does a landscape designer do during the winter that anybody would care about? Well, the answer is not much, but we’re going to give this thing a go anyway.
This January has already been pretty busy for me. Obviously there was New Years Day and all of the football games (Go Big Ten), the Orange Bowl the 5th (Go Hawks), the National Title Game the 7th (I love college football if you haven’t caught on), a 10 inch snow that I plowed for 14 hours over a 2 day period, and my car is in the shop after someone backed into me while I was parked in our lot at work. Some good, some bad.
Through all of that though I am actually getting some work done around the office. I am currently helping to make our website bigger and better. We are adding more pictures, changing some of the layout, and maybe putting in a few surprises. So make sure to check it out to see what’s new.
I am also helping to work on some new advertizing ideas and layouts. You may see some of these new ideas in the new edition of the Quintessential Barrington.
Another thing that I am helping to work on are monthly newsletters that will be emailed out to all of our Barn Nursery customers. Each month will have a new topic that will feature either current landscape ideas or projects that we are working on or have completed. Hopefully this will be educational if not at least interesting.
Even with all of that I am still working on designs and bids. Most people think they need to wait until spring, but actually this is the best time to get started. Getting started now means that we have more time to work on the designing and planning, which is the most important part. The other benefit is scheduling. If you want to get your job installed before June I would recommend contacting me before April.
Well, that wasn’t so bad. And for those who thought that we had a 3 month vacation once the snow started to fly, think again.

Welcome to the Barn Blog!
The Barn would like to welcome you to our World!
Being an employee of the Barn and working for a family whose overriding passion is all types of trees, shrubs, plants and dirt gives you an interesting perspective on life and of course, landscaping. As a part time employee of the Barn, I am one of many employees that are constantly hearing the opinions and ideas on all things landscape from Tom and Tom Kusmerz, the father and son team that run the Landscape Division of the Barn.
Filtering this information can be quite a chore - lets just say their way of communicating can be rather unique! But at the end of the day, these two guys are bursting with passion for what they do. We think a blog could be the way to share it with you! So please enjoy the postings we will share from the heads of these two original individuals.
