Donation Testimonial

- 01/10/11

"I would like to thank everyone who contributed for their generous support of the Food Bank of the Rockies' Feed Our Children campaign. Through your generosity, we contributed as a group $30,350, including the match from Marry, Pat and me. Each $1 donated allows the Food Bank to purchase four USDA-approved, nutrition-specific meals; our donation alone will provide funds for over 120,000 meals. Farrell-Roeh, its affiliated companies and their many employees and friends have now generously contributed over the last none years approximately $27,000 to the Feed Our Children campaign.

Your generous donation shows how much you care about others and about helping children sustain healthy life. You have helped make a real difference in the lives of the children benefited through the Feed Our Children campaign. In recent conversation, Sandy, my assistant, had with an employee at the Food Bank, she was told of a young girl that receives assistance through the Totes of Hope program, part of the Feed our Children campaign. Totes filled with 8 to 9 pounds of nutritious kid-friendly food are distributed to children on Fridays to take home over the weekend. For many of these children, the totes are their main source of food on Saturday and Sunday. This young girl told the Food Bank employee how happy it made her and her family to receive food assistance as without it, her father often went without dinner so that everyone else could eat, drinking only three glasses of water and walking around the block to ward off his hunger. By the Food Bank supplying food for his daughter, it allowed the entire family to sit down and enjoy a meal. When the Totes of Hope program started in summer 2009, the Food Bank distributed 400 totes a week which quickly grew to 1,300 totes a week by September 2009 and has remained at that level.

Again, I would like to thank you for your generous support and contribution. I hope you and your families had a wonderful holiday season and that 2011 is a great year! "

Noreen p. dahl Commercial Construction Testimonial

- 4/16/10

"My husband and I would like to let you know how pleased we are to have had the opportunity to work with Holly, Reggie, Gabriel and “the crew” from Designscapes Colorado.

Holly is absolutely great! She is a remarkable listener and was able to take our goals and ideas and incorporate them into the design of two beautiful patios, raised beds and a walkway. She made herself available to answer questions promptly, at any time, from the proposal stage through the project's completion. Her design and construction suggestions were hugely appreciated and her enthusiasm and knowledge made her a pleasure to work with – she made us feel like part of the team.

We were also impressed with the professionalism and artistic ability of everyone we met, ranging from Holly to each of the men selecting and placing the flagstone in our patio. The attention to detail, skill and the personal work ethic of each person was clearly evident. Everyone showed up early each morning, worked diligently all day and left our yard in order before leaving for the evening. Furthermore, the crew could not have been more polite or more concerned with our satisfaction.

To sum it up, every person we met from Designscapes Colorado extended themselves to make sure that we were delighted with our new hardscape. We are happy to recommend Designscapes Colorado to our neighbors and friends and we look forward to continued landscape work with you in the future.

Thank you for leaving us with a great experience. "

Denver Public Schools Testimonial

- November 29, 2006

"To Whom It May Concern:

It is my pleasure to introduce Mr. Scott Ascherman and his company, Colorado Designscapes, Inc. (CDI), to you and your organization. Scott and his company have been and remains one of Denver Public Schools’ most responsive, supportive, and successful general contractor firms to date. Mr. Ascherman is a hands-on general contractor who has a broad range of commercial and residential construction experience - from landscaping to multi-story building restoration projects.

In 1999, Mr. Ascherman became our first general contractor for the District’s Elementary School Playground and Learning Landscape Program - the only comprehensive public school program of its kind in the nation which creates an outdoor classroom learning environment while providing a school/community park. To date, CDI has completed some thirty-four different Learning Landscape projects which, in turn, have greatly improved the educational environment for over 10,000 DPS elementary students. Each project site includes the construction of reinforced concrete play pits, as well as the erection of a 15-foot high shade and gateway structural elements of steel, masonry, or a combination of both. Scott also has had general supervision of other building trades to include electrical and plumbing. Of special interest, Scott Ascherman’s company constructed an 11-foot high, 90-foot long reinforced concrete retaining wall at Cowell Elementary School in July 2001. This project required an excavation trench that was more than 10-feet deep in some sections, which meant shoring procedures.

Under Scott’s leadership, CDI has repeatedly demonstrated that it is a company invested in both the aesthetic and technical aspects. They have a proven track record that exemplifies a total dedication to each project while performing in a timely, professional, and flexible manner. CDI’s customer relationship has always been outstanding – always focused on the Owner’s priorities and requirements. In 2004, CDI was called upon to respond to an emergency situation when the DPS Administration Building experienced a 12-inch water main break in its basement complex. The clean-up and building restoration project, which was a 24-7 operation during the first two weeks, included several building trades which noted Mr. Ascherman’s extensive involvement.

Should you or your organization have any further questions regarding Colorado Designscapes’ construction experience and/or administration performance, please contact me at your convenience. Colorado Designscapes is a first-rate construction firm with extremely capable and dedicated professionals, one that I recommend to your organization with complete confidence."
