I am tired of going out in our yard and flowerbeds and street cleaning up after the guy when he leaves. The last time, I pointed out all of the grass clippings in the road and street curbside. He got defensive and said that it was impossible to clean up the clippings. It's amazing that I found a way to do it myself.

Yes - I am going to look for yet another service. BTW - I am on this forum because we are looking at The Villages as one of our retirement options!
Thank you, the Villages is not perfect, but it is the best I have seen anywhere. I am very happy here, and if I can't get the service I want from a lawn service, then I will go back to doing it myself.
