    Can't beat that Phil, BUT sometimes doing the basics like up selling your services pays off.

    You passed this one in Hallam on to me - they wanted just lawn mowing , I got it for a reasonable price.
    A few months later I sent in a quote for garden maintenance with my monthly invoices.

    They emailed back with confirmation and asked if I could also look at her half acre property in Beaconsfield.

    Sometimes to just need to ask the right questions - Oh and timing was right because a VIP is coming on 13th June.

    Thanks again Phil! Did you get the half acre one I sent you??

    Good to see that one working out for you John. Always good to help a mate.
    Glen quoted that one in Mt Eliza today as he was down there when you called. Haven't heard if we got it.

    Not so much things that make me happy, but things that make me laugh.

    It seems we have a phantom pruner. I went out this morning and noticed prunings from most of our trees laying all over the lawn, thought Timmy must have done it. Got home later and he had noticed the same thing but thought I had done it. Funny thing is that whoever it was came in to our front yard to do it.

    I mean really, if you're going to tresspass to prune, the least you could do is carry the prunings to the green waste bin, you were already on our property anyway so might as well go all the way.

    Jo, I know it is the weekend so you probably have not checked for mail.

    The INVOICE will probably be there waiting for you

    Funnily enough I did look in the letterbox wondering if they'd left some sort of explanation but found nothing but a snail. Anyway, I pay for quality work, not leaving prunings everywhere.

    Didn't even do the edges!! Cowboys.

    I wouldn't worry, unless they were fruit trees, which means they'll be back

    That is bizarre. A phantom gardener. We had someone do us a favour and steal a really ugly garden ornament out of the front garden last week. Now I have a valid reason for its disappearance that shouldnt offend the person who gave it to me

    had to clear the shrubs away from the ensuite window
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you
