Glide’s Story 🪟✨

Ben Barlow, the co-founder of Glide, has always loved the outdoors, especially climbing. While a student at BYU he got a job as a ski instructor at Sundance. It was there that he met a friend who inspired him to start his own window cleaning business. Be outdoors all day, climb homes/ladders/trees, and still get paid!

Since 2017, Ben went from cleaning windows solo, to now having an incredible team. Glide provides career opportunities for dozens of employees, and services thousands of customers each year throughout Wasatch Front. And it all started right here in Provo!

Message from Ben @ Glide: “In addition to window cleaning we also offer pressure washing, gutter cleaning, dryer vent cleaning and air duct cleaning. Check out www.glidecleaners.com and mention that you found us on What's Up Provo. 801-845-6615 (Ben's Cell).”

💪 Friday To-Do’s

It’s “early fall”, so here are some early fall lawncare best practices:

✅ Cut back on watering and mowing 💧 According to Western Garden Centers: “You should only need to water every six or so days through the month.” Watering Recommendations Chart from Utah.gov 

✅ Throw out some early fall fertilizer 💩 According to Tuxedo Lawn Care, “The last thing you want is to allow weeds to grow and spread right before lawns enter winter dormancy”
Might be time for Step 4. IFA Instructions | Scott’s Instructions

✅ Seed those dead spots 🌱 Great time to let new seeds take root before winter. Why seed in the Fall Article

✅ Get a rake upgrade 🍂 Ever heard of a lawn sweeper or a lawn vacuum? We hadn’t. If you’re interested we suggest checking out this Tom’s Guide article about rake alternatives .

✅ Clear ya’ yard, clear ya’ house 🗑️ Provo City Fall Cleanup 2024 is here (next week). Check out Mayor Kaufusi’s blog for more details.
