He is not full time , so I prefaced the phone call with "You may not be aware....but.....your lawn looks JUST aweful and it really is ruining the neighborhood." I said it VERY nicely and gave him the benefit of the doubt. Yes, I put alot into my lawn (I have someone do it for us) and I simply have it budgeted. Why should I look at someone's crappy lawn when mine is so nice? Is this fair? Maybe a lawn service should come in, DO IT, and then send them the bill.
I think you did the right thing.....what was his response?
