When Your Lawn Has More Drama Than Your Favorite TV Show

Here at GreenKnight Landscaping, we’ve seen it all in our years of transforming properties across Clarence, East Amherst, Amherst, Williamsville, and Snyder, NY. But nothing prepared us for what we now refer to as “The Great Garden Gnome Incident of 2023.”

Commercial Clients Beware: Gnomes Have Feelings Too

Picture this: You hire a professional landscape company to beautify your commercial property. You expect perfectly trimmed hedges, immaculate flower beds, and a lawn so green it makes your competitors weep with envy. What you don’t expect is to arrive Monday morning to find twenty garden gnomes arranged in what appears to be a union meeting on your front lawn.

This actually happened to one of our commercial clients. Apparently, the gnomes (which nobody claimed ownership of) appeared overnight and rearranged themselves daily for a week. Our crew finally caught the culprit – a local retiree who thought the “stuffy corporate building needed some whimsy.”

Residential Landscaping: Where Your Neighbors Judge Your Life Choices

Residential landscaping is a different beast entirely. One Williamsville homeowner requested “something unique” for their backyard. Our designers created a stunning hardscape featuring a natural stone patio and bubbling water feature. Two weeks later, we received a frantic call.

“The neighbors are taking too many photos! They’ve started bringing lawn chairs to stare at my yard! Help!”

That’s right. Their landscape was so beautiful it became a local tourist attraction. We had to install privacy hedges to give them their life back.

The Top 3 Things We’ve Found While Digging in Snyder, NY

• A perfectly preserved 1950s lunchbox containing what might have once been a sandwich
• Someone’s college diploma (we returned it)
• A waterproof box of love letters (also returned, resulting in a rekindled romance and an invitation to the wedding)

East Amherst’s Great Mulch Mystery

We delivered four cubic yards of premium mulch to an East Amherst residence. The next day, it had vanished without a trace. No drag marks. No wheelbarrow tracks. Nothing.

Two days later, every garden in the cul-de-sac had fresh mulch.

We don’t ask questions. We just make everything look good.

When you’re ready for a landscape company that handles everything from commercial landscaping to residential masterpieces (and the occasional gnome uprising), give GreenKnight Landscaping a call. We make magic happen – sometimes quite literally, it seems.
