Are mower people going to be able to do our yards?
 

Just wondering? My yard is gonna look my head of hair if it doesn't get cut for 30+ days:icon_wink:

Can they work legally?

Yes.

My yard maintenance folks are laying low. Lucky for them, they can still bill me without leaving their homes.

Ours are coming every other week with no problems

Except they often ride as three in the front seat. Not social distancing.

People are worrying about their lawns while there are corpses and body bags lining the halls of the emergency rooms in many parts of the usa..?????

Can you really change that? Worrying about something that you have no control over, will put needless stress on you, worry about the staff with the same PPE for days, worry about their families.

Mine was here today again. Comes every week

We have 2 brothers, they have always worn masks, safety glasses, and gloves. Waved at us, Bill comes by email. Guess they don’t to step up

First time ever that our guys didn't show up on their assigned day. Screw the lawn we just hope they are OK. Great guys who work like dogs and do a great thankless job. We make sure they know we appreciate them.

Lawn care is essential
 

Social distancing not a problem for them
Can you imagine the pests and problems that occur if your lawn and bushes aren’t managed during growing season .

Yes. This is according to the government's list of essential businesses, which was posted on another thread on this site a couple days ago.

sure

I am certain the people who are laid off and have been waiting on us faithfully will take care of your lawns. They are here to serve and get yelled at and treated like second class citizens. Then we can stand over the top of them and make our authority known and in most cases carelessly do it within 6 feet.

Going to buy two goats

Of course they can their outside ?

Worse yet...my hair is starting to look like the lawn😀!

Buy a flowfee

If you do that, stop! Seriously, dude, find something else to rant about!

Excellent commentary for your annual post! Not.

I've never seen anyone in the service industries treated this way and I certainly do not.

They are still mowing us😍

Whaaaaat? The people that provide our lawn care and the people from other services we use are treated like friends. We talk, we laugh, we know each others’ names. Our cleaning people are not coming right now of course, but we are still paying them. I know the same thing is true for many of our neighbors and others we know. This is a truly unfair generalization.

stop the newbie trolls:boxing2:

dittos. not only are we on a 1st name basis, they actually know/like our dogs which look forward to the weekly visits by our guys. idk who this OPperson posting is, but they don't know us very well. talk about judging an entire group of people, jeez

Seems like a very harmless question to me.

Mowing
 

Practicing social distancing is much easier for lawn care workers than golfing. Why shouldn't they continue mowing??

I mow my own yard but I would think if they’re getting paid I’m sure they’ll keep doing it. Why wouldn’t they want to do it? There’s nobody within 6 ft. of them. I’m sure if your regular guy doesn’t want to do it, you surely could get someone else. If it gets that bad you might have to break down & do your own. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it!

Mine are still coming. Most of the time they come when I am not home. Know they came cause edges are neat grass is cut. We do not socialize. They do their work and leave. I pay them via my bank so no contact. Wave when I see them. Have had them for years. Reliable.

Way to go.
All you hear is HOW SORRY some are for those out of work or those who choose to lie low.
Well folks can’t have it both ways, maybe ur landscaping people are quarantined and don’t want to say OR they have elderly in their homes.
If u have great scapers keep them just be happy right now the lawn doesn’t have to be mowed weekly yet

I think so. I met with a landscaping service this morning; they also mow, and he said that he’s really busy.

Hi Ontap. Do you have a source for this? That kind of information is positively frightening if it's true...well even if it's not.

Ahem.

They just mowed my lawn an hour ago.

Mine was cut today.

If they mow, that’s great. If they don’t mow, life will go on.

Me 2.

My lawn was mowed yesterday by a do it yourself-er, me. :icon_wink:

Our mow crew has been with us for years. We love em as they are good and reliable. We even send them a little something at Christmas.

That's because the living has to continue living or are we supposed to die with the dead?

It reminds me, got to go out and water my plants........:ho:
