Do you have Superior mow your lawn, or do you have a separate lawn mowing guy?

Why do opinions differ so widely? Does it depend on expectation levels? I truly don't know.

Opinions differ because people are all different. Same company might have 3,4 or 10 crews and change employees like underwear.
Sometimes I wake in an ill mood, and I like telling the lawn guys what a crappy job they do and firing them. I need to stop doing that though because I WAS getting my lawn mowed for 40 a month, then 55.. and now it is costing me 70. Anyone know a really good lawn guy that's cheap? The guys that were doing it for 40 cut my siding with the weed eater, but I didn't find it till after I fired them. So I just waited a couple weeks and called the owner of the new company and told him they did it and they better fix it. They did. Probably cost half what I paid him for the year and 10x what he was going to make off me that year. NO, this wasn't me. but YES, these are true stories in TV. Most lawn people are trying to scrounge out a living in the highly competitive Villages mowing world.. where stellar ran around undercutting everyone the last 3 years, till they went under because they didn't charge enough. What? 5 bucks more a month to pull weeds? 10 bucks to trim my hedges? No they aren't rocket scientists.. or gardeners. They just want the extra 50 bucks for the year and don't realize it will take another 10 hours at your house to keep up the trimming, 30 or 40 for weeding... Not sure who to feel sorry for, the home owners getting their lawns scalped, siding broken, badly pruned hedges with the leaves left under them OH NO THERES A WEEEED! ... OR.... for the underpaid overworked broke living at his mom's house guy getting yelled at by the grumpy retiree for..... the weed he missed, siding the last guy broke, fungus he is spreading in the grass he doesn't cut right. And I really am looking for a new lawn guy who is cheaper than the one have now. |

The biggest problem with all of the lawn people is that they don't have employees. They have independent contractors that get paid by the job, have no benefits, no worker's comp if they are injured at work, no taxes taken out of their weekly checks, and can't collect unemployment if they are let go. Some contractors will show you an exemption certificate for worker's comp, nice for the contractor, but it does not protect the homeowner or the worker if there is an injury on the job. Lets face it. You don't have to be the brightest bulb to push a lawnmower, and it doesn't cost the contractor a dime to change people like he changes his socks. Until the laborers demand to be classified correctly, as employees, we will continue to deal with all of the current problems.

Just a bit of info. Asulux was the best chemical spray for crab grass but the state restricted it to commercial turf areas, no residential a few years ago. Lawn companies are really limited by the state and epa on how they treat problem areas.
