Our friend, Jerry Murphy, passed away on Friday, March 5th.
Jerry was born in Oregon and grew up right here in Tacoma.  He was a sports lover and played baseball  for Lincoln High School and Central Washington University.

Jerry was a member of Tacoma Executives Association since 2003 and will be missed by us all.  Our thoughts go out to his sons, Greg and Jeff and their families.

At Jerry's request no services will be held but rememberances may be made to Tacoma Boys and Girls Club of South Puget Sound, 1501 Pacific Avenue, Suite 301 Tacoma, WA 98402.

JP's Yard & Landscape has officially been making Tacoma beautiful since 1974.  JP, however, started with a wheelbarrow long before that as a kid taking care of neighbors' yards.

JP's weekly services inlcude a weekly cut,  moss control & fertilizing in the spring and fall, and a clean-up before Christmas and once in February.  They use a time release fertilizer to make that grass really green.   They also offer pruning services, weed control, thatching, rock walls, and other rockeries.  JP and his crew really know what they are doing, and they do it well!  Although 35 - 45% of their business is in the North end of Tacoma, they travel to Gig Harbor, Fife and beyond. 

Having trouble with dandelions?  JP suggests amonia sulfate to rid your yard of the pesky weed.  If you want the best looking yard in your neighborhood, give JP's Yard & Landscape a call.
