So, force everyone to use Deans? Okay, sure...

Oh, and btw, I use Deans and they show up on different days of the week...

Dean's only mows three homes in my immediate area. Many others farther down the street, and on other streets, but only mine, my one next door neighbor and the house behind me. The homes across the street are using another landscaper, one guy mows his own lawn and the guy on the other side of me and the person behind him uses Massey's, as are just as many who are using Deans...

How are they all going to synchronize their mowing schedules to satisfy you?

And "reliability has nothing to do with anything. My lawn is mowed every other week, just as I contracted. The days may differ due to other factors, such as WEATHER... You know, if it's pouring rain, they won't mow that day...

Let me know how that business model works out you you...
A little humor, Sheldon. You of all people should recognize...

It's "sarcasm" that Sheldon doesn't understand. Not humor (of which your post was also lacking...)

See, THAT's sarcasm!

That's good to know, thanks. Maybe a little discussion among neighbors and we could get everyone in ours to go with one contractor to get them all done the same day. I have spoken to a few and it seems everyone I spoke too is annoyed that it seems every day there is at least one here, making noise and driving our dogs crazy - :)

Six of our neighbors use the same gardener as us and it works really well.

Unfortunately, we are at the end of the group, so need to persuade our neighbors to the other side to join the party as we are still getting noise on other days from their gardeners.

Sounds dopey.

If it is that annoying, get together with the other residents in your neighborhood and see if you can get quotes for the entire block. The expense should be less for the landscaper so more profit (if they do not pass on the savings) for them and less noise for you.

My personal suggestion is that all lawns have to be mowed on one day - say, Tuesdays. That will give us peace and quiet the other 6 days a week.
A little????::)

Most of the landscapers has removed guts in muffler that why they are loud and obnoxious. This IMO noise pollution and shouldn’t be allowed. But I’m guy with only one good ear left so I might be just little bias….:shocked:

Then there would be hardly no posts and the operators would go broke…:22yikes:
