I got an email a week or so ago asking for a quote for a monthly mow/trim from an absentee owner. I drove past it the next day and it was pretty rough but not too bad.
I got the impression she was just after someone cheap & nasty and probably sent a dozen emails out, so I never got back to her.
Yesterday I got a text asking if I had a look and if I was interested in giving a quote.
So I emailed back that it's a $66 mow, but fortnightly during the growth period or I'm not interested.
Just got an email back saying the budget is $100/fortnight and mow, trim trees/shrubs whatever whenever I think it needs doing.
Then she explained that I helped her unload her trailer of green waste at the tip a few weeks ago when she was completely exhausted, so she knew she could trust me to look after her place.
