    Another service seeking type of business. I've been get there txt's for a few years now. Have never signed up with them but a guy around the corner from me says he gets lot of work through them. Mind you he is in the building/renovation game so probably works better for him when he is quoting 5 figure prices.

    That service seeking is like ebay... You get what you pay for.
    I used them for a while but got calls looking for the cheapest price...

    Got one...
    Been doing these people's lawns for nearly 2 years now. Recently they are expecting me to weed their vegie patch gardens also to be included in the mowing for no extra cost....
    Their vegie gardens are 5 x 4 mtrs and the weeds are nearly 4 feet high... I think time to Sack them

    What I do in this situation is send them a price rise with mowing price & what it includes & price for extra work

    It's not that bad but the edges are a little bit long = we haven't done the edges in 16 years
    Do they think we won't notice when we show up?
