With the lack of rain in KY it had to have been a while between cuts on that one.

I had to wear my googles and a resparator because of all the dust my mower was kicking upRobs660 said:I mowers my dirt I mean grass yesterday. NJ needs rain bad!
I just subbed my lawns out to a hack for $2.75 up to an acre. Gives him plenty of room for profit, so everybody wins.STARBABY said:I had to wear my googles and a resparator because of all the dust my mower was kicking up

Those three words just got me thinking how many times my guys go to a property that hasn't been mowed all year, and out comes the neighborhood to beech and moan and chew all over them like it is their fault. They threaten to call the city, the mayor, their BIL, etc. Not every foreclosure is a 25k crack shack. It just seems common sense, if you live in a decent house and the empty property next door has 20" grass, get your yard man and go over and knock it down. Keeps the bugs down, the neighborhood looking good and your property values a little higher. At least that's what folks used to do. But some of them would rather talk to the contractors like they are the ones writing the check. I have to constantly reinforce that they are not the customer, so feel free to react.STARBABY said:neighbor comes over
Lol. I had a drunk neighbor once tell me to do that and that I had to trim the 60ft palm trees. I told him the same thing you did. He had a fit and said well you're a landscaper. Lol. I told him to call FAS and let them know. He refused. I offered to trim them for $800 if he paid cash on the spot or if he'd like he could climb the tree and do them himself. Lol.brm1109 said:The other day I actually had a neighbor come over and tell us that "you have to trim the hedges". I informed them that our contract consists of mowing the grass and that we would have to bid the bushes. They didn't like the answer. So I offered to trim the bushes along the fence that they share.
The owner turns around and says " you know what, sure go ahead I will pay you $25.00".
Never mind I will put the bid in.
have the same crap happen tooGTX63 said:Or they think your a free trash pickup service. Have a few properties that we can count on every 14 days to have freshly dumped branches, brush, soda cans and debris in the backyards. You know the neighbors toss that stuff over the fence.
