Landscaping Companies Keep Busy While Banned From New, Larger Projects For Now

Posted onMay 7, 2020May 8, 2020
Richard Kessinger’s Saratoga Lawn Maintenance LLC has been busy with lawn mowing jobs this spring. He says he may try to hire another employee later in the season.

Pandemic or no pandemic, the grass keeps growing and people are in need of landscaping services this time of year. But landscapers are not immune to problems brought about by the COVID-19 crisis.
Government guidelines allow them to do routine maintenance work, but no major undertakings like landscaping and hardscaping (patios, walks, and the like) or anything purely cosmetic. They can clean things up, but not install mulch and no new planting is allowed.
For Brian Phillips and his company, The Lawn Guy Landscape Management LLC in Saratoga Springs, landscaping and hardscaping is usually the bulk of his business.
“I’m losing time and time is money,” he said.
He is holding deposits from customers from last February and has projects booked into July. He estimates that he had lost some $50,000-60,000 worth of work over a six-week period.

“We can do a site inspection without leaving our desk” and drafting no longer requires pencil and paper or the dreaded drafting pen, said Ed Garrigan, the president of C.T. Male Associates, about the impact of new technology on his field of engineering and surveying.  

“Some old-school people like me” still sketch on paper now and then, he aid. But he remains enthusiastic about the “amazing” changes he has seen in his profession and his company, largely in the last five to 10 years. 

“It’s a challenge to keep up,” he said. 

In order to do so, the company has committees to analyze new equipment and software and to train employees to use it. The company also has a separate IT department.

By Maureen Werther

Sonny Bonacio, president of Bonacio Construction, has purchased the property on Excelsior Avenue in Saratoga Springs that was Stark’s Auto for some 60 years.

Bonacio said he has not yet finalized plans for the parcel at 62-64 Excelsior Ave. He purchased the property on May 25 from Sidney Stark. The purchase price was $450,000 and the deal was made through Bonacio’s real estate holding company, RR Depot LLC.

He called the purchase “a defensive move.” His company recently constructed 14 residential condominiums at Excelsior East, as well as four 1,500-square-foot commercial spaces. While 12 of the 14 condominiums have been sold, three of the four commercial spaces have not been filled as quickly as Bonacio anticipated.
