I generally love being outside, and I love yardwork. Recently, though, I've found myself in a position where I'd much rather spend my weekends doing other things.
I won't name names, but I had several other places turn me down for the work we needed done. Actually, only one of the competitors showed up. He took one look at the road to get here, and said "no."
I get it. This is not an easy yard to maintain. It's in the woods, on a mountain, and it is impossible to mow (you MUST weed whack). On top of that, the yard and gutters collect a lot of debris from the trees, and it would take me many weekends to clear that myself.
I found myself behind Doug's truck the other day, and I had to give him a call (admittedly out of desperation). I was greeted by his daughter, and I basically told her "I need help."
Doug showed up the next day (early, which I always appreciate). I showed him what I wanted done, and he gave me a quote and a date on the spot.
He was back bright and early exactly on schedule to get Nick to work, and let me make this very clear: that guy gets it done. On the second day he had some help with the backyard, and they were great too.
Gutters, tree-trimming, weed-whacking, yard clean-up--they did it all (and I know they do more). They did an excellent job as well, and I cannot recommend them any more vigorously.
