Adopt a Road

The Chilliwack Adopt a Road program was initiated by a local Scouts troop, the TCS Rosedale Scouts, and has expanded to include many other local organizations.  Under the Adopt a Road program, organizations and non-profit groups contribute to the community by cleaning litter from local roads on a regular basis.

As part of our commitment to community, Denbow has adopted a road near our facility in Chilliwack.  Craig and Todd took care of the road recently, collecting bags of litter.  Great job, guys!

Global Landscaping Supplies

We are proud of our client relationships. And we’re proud to share the observations of those who know best what it’s like to work with – See more at: http://www.infinitive.com/client-experience/testimonials/#sthash.XFmwPelG.dpuf

We love our clients, and we love to share their observations about their experience with Denbow:

“We originally contacted Denbow because we were looking for another decorative alternative to rock and regular fir/hemlock bark mulch that was also in a comfortable price range. Our customers are very pleased with the variety of selections and that the product color lasts longer and doesn’t decompose as quickly. Love the vibrant colors and of course the price levels. Denbow’s staff is always friendly, willing to listen and accommodating even given that we are a small landscape yard. We’d always recommend Denbow for the quality and cost of the products as well as the service received. We have also referred Denbow’s mulch blowing service for the unreachable backyards and slopes”
