It seems to me there may be an opportunity for a young, insured and growing company. As I explained to my lawn service guy, as a snow bird, I want our property to look as good as my neighbors who live here year round. No exceptions.
We are fortunate to have a neighbor who keeps an eye on our property. He knows what services I've paid for and when he believes they are not doing the work property, he gives me a call.
I also called Massey about the excessive weeds and they are going to address the weed issue next week. They told me that although they spray for weeds on our lawn, they do not spray in or around the shrubs or flower beds. I'll have to re-read my contract when I return to TV next month. In any case, my lawn service company said they will pull weeds in those area's. Finger pointing addressed for now...I hope.
Regarding watering, for the most part we may be at the mercy of Mother Nature. Some of my TV friends have received notices that their sprinkler water consumption has been excessively high and they have been asked (warned) to reduce watering. Even the golf courses have suffered this year because of the little rainfall. Hopefully, we'll get some much needed rain and, even better, lets hope it's at night
