This. And the landscapers are awful. Do you think I want to do all my yard work at 64? No. But every time I hire it out it’s done not only incorrectly but destructively. Shrubs are pruned wrong, lighting wires are cut, mulch is piled too high, perennials are pulled out or round up is sprayed and it kills everything in its path, including things it shouldn’t. I once had a witch hazel killed because it was cut off near the ground - that was the pruning. They cut it down. And the large climbing antique rose was severed mid trunk and left to die. [/quote]

The worst part about the landscapers is they'll charge exorbitant fees but then do the absolute bare minimum. They'll do the service you're paying for and won't even make suggestions on how to keep the grass looking healthier and vibrant even if it means they can charge for another service. They don't care about the state of the grass. We had one service come through and mow too soon after a rainstorm (we weren't home) only to leave pits and tracks in the grass. They took off and didn't say a word about. It was like to them they mowed and trimmed and what they actually left the lawn looking like didn't matter. Ultimately, we had to let them go.  [/quote]
