new landscaper is from Guatemala. He is so nice and happy. He is less expensive too ( but he is getting paid well). he always checks with me to make sure I am happy with is work.
Guatemalan guy knows he is lucky to work here with the opportunity to provide a better life for his kids and send money home, rather than doing manual labor for nothing back home. Brazilian guy is an economics major who couldn't find a professional position in Brazil and his English skills are not good enough for middle class work here.

My DH is hands off with all contractors in our household, so I am the one giving him direction, etc. If I approach him about anything that is off (you missed the weeds in the bed over there) or (please clean the gutters before the next big rain storm), his responses are always curt. No sense of customer service at all...certainly not a gentleman. One time I asked about a price he charged me for a project, and he was visibly annoyed--did not handle it well and was rude about it. His overall prices are great--we have 1/2 acre and he only charges $20 to mow, trim, and blow. So I hate to try to find someone else.
I don't think it has to do with his culture because my last landscaper was also from Brazil, and he was so polite and accommodating. Maybe it's just his personality, but my DH suspects he is a misogynist.
You are definitely a major PITA! $20 TO MOW HALF an acre andbyku are complaining?!

And it’s disgusting. You should be ashamed, op.
You probably get mad when he drinks out of your garden hose, too.
I just laughed so loud at drinking out of the water hose!! Lmao! Thank you!

$20?! Is this a troll? You can afford to hire someone else to do the weeding and gutters for what you are paying! Also, weeding and gutters do not come standard with mowing.

My teenager gets $20.00 to mow the 1/4 acre lots in our neighborhood.
No weeding or gutters.

My DH charged that much to mow a lawn-just mow, no weeding, etc, in 1984.

Op is complaining her landscaper is not a gentleman!
After admitting she pays him $20 bucks to do her half acre and clean gutters!
How dare he not be a gentleman! He should be grateful to work for op! He should pay her $20 to do her landscaping, in fact.
