I might be interested. I and my sister-in-law both stopped using the companies because their standards did not meet my standard. The companies always came back to address issues but it is inconvenient to complain. I was told by a company rep that their service meets the industry standard but will never match my standard as I have a personal interest in how the work is done and looks. I decided that if I have to check behind them that I don't need them so now I take care of both properties myself. I mow, trim, edge, pine straw, weed and trim the shrubs. We got tried of less than satisfactory service and having to pay for a service when none is necessary. For example, mowing in the winter when the lawn is dormant. Why? Trimming the shrubs 5 times a year when 2-3 times is sufficient.
