    This means we have let our lawn grow so long you cannot do it with a push mower.

    * When someone describes their acreage as "more of a paddock" than a lawn.
    Don't touch it unless you want to mow over fallen branches.

    * If a customer mentioned their ride-on is broken down.
    Means there ride-on broke down 6 months ago and they want you to put your machine through hell before they get their
    mower back.

    * I just lost my Gardener after 15 years.
    I want to pay 15 year old prices.

    * We have a real problem keeping gardeners.
    We don't want to pay much or expect miracles.

    * If a customer asks how much do you charge per hour.
    This means I want to pay 16 year old wages without considering fuel, equipment, tipping fees or insurance costs etc.

    I had a lady approach me the other day and said she had just lost her gardener after 10 years. She wanted her whole garden maintained............2 hours a month. I said I would not touch it at less than 2 hours (2 staff) a fortnight. Settled on 2 staff, 1 hour per fortnight. When we finished our first visit she said " See you in 6 weeks"..............we won't be back!

    Look after your good customers. They are hard to find.

    Earlwood NSW

    I'm looking for someone to do the lawns & bins at a property I look after in Earlwood.

    Lawns fortnightly in summer, monthly in winter.

    Bins go out every Thursday and only need to be brought back in every second Friday, as l do the cleaning there on the alternate week.

    Looking to start someone this week.

    Please send me a PM or a text - 0416 889 600 if you are interested.

    Thanks, Bruce

    I need a helper for a job on Tuesday 1st May for 4-6 hours at Darlinghurst( In the city). I have to audit an irrigation system in a public area and have to have people around incase something sprays onto the pathways where people might be. There are no plans showing where each station waters, so I just need someone to listen around for the driplines in the garden beds, and to let me know if the lawn sprinklers come on so I can shut them off before anyone gets wet. They wanted it done as quickly as possible to avoid being a nuisance, so I need at least 3 people on site to hopefully have it done within 4 hours. I have someone booked in to help already but need another 1. It will be starting at 7.30. Very cruisy job if anyone is looking for half a days work, PM me or ring me. Might be good for the inner west guys.
