“Before, getting material was a tough thing. Then I discovered Skagit Farmers, and you guys are right up the highway—easy,” Jensen said. Now, Allstar Hydroseeding buys fertilizer and some seed from SFS. “Fertilizer, special blends—Skagit (Farmers Supply) can do that special stuff we need.” Today, the biggest challenge for the company has been scheduling, Jensen said. During the busy season, the crew will book about two weeks out, although they try to get to customers as quickly as possible. “We put our heart and soul into this company, and we have a good reputation,” Jensen said. “We’ve grown the way we have because we’ve had really good customer service, and I believe we have really good relationships with our customers.” Jensen’s son, Hunter, and Gustafson’s son, Taylor, also work for the business. Jensen said he sees the younger generation taking over Allstar someday.
For now though, the Allstar team is enjoying taking care of their customers and providing quality work.
“It all comes down to customer service,” Jensen said. “I want them to feel like they got good service, good value, and I want them to come back and use Allstar Hydroseeding again.”
Allstar Hydroseed has a wide variety of customers, from residential homeowners to contractors.
