Show A-17 The Park Record Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, April 22-25, 2017 8193NORTHREDFOX .COM Michal Cornu, right, built Red Barn Trees and Landscaping for 38 years before recently selling it to Willie Eschenfelder, left, and his wife, Christine. Cornu says he’s proud of the company’s history but is eager to see Eschenfelder take it to the next level. Continued From A-16 Red Barn has new owner long-established reputation in Park City and the expertise of its employees, many of whom have worked for the company for more than a decade. “It fit well with what we are trying to do,” he said. “… Michael has done a really good job of building relationships with his clients. I competed against him on some projects for people I knew pretty well. I’d be like, ‘Hey, let me bid on your landscape,’ and they’d be like, ‘Oh, no, we’ve got to have Cornu do it.’ They wouldn’t even talk to me. That made me have respect for him.” Cornu said part of what’s allowed the company to thrive for 38 years is the belief that customer service should be valued over all else. In that regard, he said, longtime clients should expect little to change now that the Eschenfelders are running the business. In fact, the belief that Red Barn will continue operating with a similar philosophy played a crucial role in Cornu ultimately deciding to part with the company. “That’s the key point,” he said. “That was absolutely huge. Reflecting back, it’s a little corny but it’s a match made in heaven. I really think that. The core cultures are similar: passion, quality, attention to detail. I learned that about Willie having worked with him on a job site.” The Eschenfelders hope to take Red Barn to the next level. After getting a feel for the company during the rest of the year, they intend to begin working on expansive residential projects, whereas Cornu focused largely on commercial projects. Ideally, Willie Eschenfelder said, the company will complete only roughly five or six jobs a year due to the scope of the work, which will include everything from landscaping to pool installation. “We do all-inclusive exterior projects,” he said. “We take care of everything. That’s a good thing for builders in town because they only have to come to us, and a good thing for homeowners because they’re like, ‘You can take care of all of this? Great.’” Christine Eschenfelder added that the company intends to continue as visible members of the community, offering support to local nonprofits, such as Eat Awesome Things at School. “I don’t think we’re interested in becoming a huge company,” she said. “Willie is incredibly passionate about what he does. … so we’re just excited to have a place to run our business out of and grow our roots deeper in the community and be a part of things here.” Cornu, for one, is eager to see where the company is headed. “It’s ripe to go to the next level,” he said, “and mature in the next 40 years as Park City grows.” 259PARK AVE.COM BUBBA BROWN/PARK RECORD INSIDEPARKCIT YREALESTATE.COM NANCY TALLMAN 435.901.0659 nancy.tallman@sothebysrealty.com ©MMXVII Sotheby’s International Realty Affiliates LLC.
