&#xD;
Dear Sirs,&#xD;
&#xD;
I wanted to take a moment and tell you how pleased I was with your company, your people, and the service that you provided.&#xD;
&#xD;
     I met your salesman, Adam Davis, who told me about some of the lawn services that you provide. In that meeting, he told me that I could come to your facility in O' Fallon and get mulch and "super soil" , which I promptly did. It was simple, easy, and professional.&#xD;
     I also met Russ Talley, and he gave me a quote on some tree work that needed to be done at my home. He was very professional and clearly knew what he was talking about. I instantly cancelled the proposal from one of you competitors, and told Russ to schedule the work. &#xD;
     Soon after that, a wonderful lady by the name of Kelley called and set the appointment. She was very pleasant to speak to and she tried her best to work around my schedule.&#xD;
     On Sept. 30th, Jeremy, Jackson, and Mike came out to my home and spent a few hours taking down a  tree and removing dead branches from another. These guys were amazing! They were professional, hard working, and just plain good.&#xD;
&#xD;
I have dealt with one of your competitors in the last couple of years and all I ever got was an "attitude". They knew it all, treated me like dirt, and only had one schedule to work with, and it wasn't mine.&#xD;
&#xD;
I have a lot of trees on my property. A lot of trees that will need work over the years. You definitely have a new, loyal customer.&#xD;

Many were left with no homes to go home to at all & others were left with very little left standing of their homes & staggering amounts of debris to clean up & damage to repair.  Tree Services were immediately dispatched in the area along with essential service personnel to try to restore electric & gas service where possible.  

The tornado also did sever damage in Rolla, Fenton, Sunset Hills & an area of N. St. Louis City known as Lewis Place.  Greenville, IL was hit with an EF-O with 85 mile per hour winds which peeled off shingles, downed trees, removed siding and ripped off entire roofs.  The storms hit very quickly.  By the time the skies actually &ldquo;looked&rdquo; stormy it was already too late, the storm was upon places like Sunset Hills tearing the area apart.  Weather officials say the tornadoes were hard to see approaching because they were wrapped in very heavy rains.&#xD;

     I met your salesman, Adam Davis, who told me about some of the lawn services that you provide. In that meeting, he told me that I could come to your facility in O' Fallon and get mulch and "super soil" , which I promptly did. It was simple, easy, and professional.&#xD;
     I also met Russ Talley, and he gave me a quote on some tree work that needed to be done at my home. He was very professional and clearly knew what he was talking about. I instantly cancelled the proposal from one of you competitors, and told Russ to schedule the work. &#xD;
     Soon after that, a wonderful lady by the name of Kelley called and set the appointment. She was very pleasant to speak to and she tried her best to work around my schedule.&#xD;
     On Sept. 30th, Jeremy, Jackson, and Mike came out to my home and spent a few hours taking down a  tree and removing dead branches from another. These guys were amazing! They were professional, hard working, and just plain good.&#xD;
&#xD;
I have dealt with one of your competitors in the last couple of years and all I ever got was an "attitude". They knew it all, treated me like dirt, and only had one schedule to work with, and it wasn't mine.&#xD;
&#xD;
I have a lot of trees on my property. A lot of trees that will need work over the years. You definitely have a new, loyal customer.&#xD;

September 16, 2011&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 14, 2011 &ndash; Hansen's Tree Service & Environmental Wood Resources of O'Fallon, Mo., is among two charities and 10 businesses who are winners of BBB TORCH Awards for exceptional ethical business practices and customer service from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Serving Eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois.
<br><br>
Hansen's has grown from a part-time business while Jeff Hansen was driving a trash truck to a company with 65 employees in the St. Louis area as well as 10 to 12 in the Branson/Springfield market. The company provides tree diagnosis, pruning, tree and stump removal, lawn care and green waste recycling. It also produces mulch and compost.
"Business is always about serving other people so they trust you, believe in you and want to do business with you again," Hansen said. "I tell the staff if giving 99 percent to our customers is enough, then they should go. We have to give 100 percent every day."
<br><br>
The BBB will present the TORCH Awards at a luncheon on Wednesday, Nov. 30 at the Chase Park Plaza. Tickets for the luncheon are available at $50 a person, or $500 for a table of 10. Patron tables for 10 are available for $1,500. Reservations can be made by calling 314-645-0606.

Many were left with no homes to go home to at all & others were left with very little left standing of their homes & staggering amounts of debris to clean up & damage to repair.  Tree Services were immediately dispatched in the area along with essential service personnel to try to restore electric & gas service where possible.  

The tornado also did sever damage in Rolla, Fenton, Sunset Hills & an area of N. St. Louis City known as Lewis Place.  Greenville, IL was hit with an EF-O with 85 mile per hour winds which peeled off shingles, downed trees, removed siding and ripped off entire roofs.  The storms hit very quickly.  By the time the skies actually &ldquo;looked&rdquo; stormy it was already too late, the storm was upon places like Sunset Hills tearing the area apart.  Weather officials say the tornadoes were hard to see approaching because they were wrapped in very heavy rains.&#xD;
