We received a quote yesterday for weeding from Matthew Perez, who is highly recommended by multiple people on NextDoor. He charges $50/hr and he thought that our job would take him less than an hour, so he said that it would probably be less than $50. His business card says he does weeding & shrub trimming, paver sealing, power washing, window washing, and dryer vent cleaning. He also said that he can do some light landscaping (we need to add a small amount of shrubbery in our backyard for privacy) and he can replace our pine straw with more pine straw, cedar chips, or rock. He explained how when laying rocks in a shrub bed he makes sure that the weed barrier completely covers the area and is tightly secured so that it doesn't move when the rocks are installed. He seems very conscientious and will do things right. He does not do landscaping boarder walls. We did not ask him if he gets the ARC approval because we will not be ready to do the landscaping for months. He was a very professional and courteous young man and honest about what he is capable of doing. His father helps him with the big jobs. They live in The Villages (near Sawgrass). He is not charging us until after our weeding is complete and he requested that our payment be in cash or check. We scheduled a time for him to do our weeding (we want to be home while he is working at our house). I can't provide a recommendation until after the work is complete, but the quote went extremely well and I expect that the work will be the same. If you are interested in getting a quote, his phone number is 954-213-9640.
