Lawn service?
Do any of yall use one? We just hired one. It's best for us because we're so busy, but T doesn't really want anyone to know we use one because he thinks it gives off the impression that we're lazy. lol I don't think that, but whatev.
Re: Lawn service?
Taylor used to enjoy it, but this neighborhood seems to have a wasp problem! (Sarah, do yall have that issue on your side?) Last summer and this summer they've been out in full force. So it's like the only time he can really get out to do it is a dusk, and that rarely works because we're always out doing something.
We have a lawn guy who comes to take care of ours. James told me when we bought the house that we're "pay people to do it" people, not DIY people
Neither of us enjoy lawn work one bit, so we'd rather budget it in than whine and moan about it and end up just letting the whole thing go to crap because we don't take care of it.
DH loves doing it! .. He is a nerd like that.
I would rather pay someone to clean the house personally.
My lawn boy is the H - I make him dress up in cutoffs and no shirt to cut the lawn
We own a lawn service, and I think it is rarely laziness issue. I think most of our customers either can't physically do it, or they want it to look better than they could ever do it (especially when there is alot of landscaping to maintain, not just a plan lawn), or they just have that much extra money pay for it just because, or even if they physically can do it, its just too hot for some people and that can be dangerous (even for some semi-active people, mowing the yard in the heat will zap you quickly and they dont think its a physically big deal until they realize they can't do it).
Yeah, I know that was a really long sentence
Even if it is a laziness issue, I don't know why you'd care people knew! Do you think that your neighbors are lazy when you see them order pizza because they didn't cook? or hire painters? or do any of the zillions of things we hire people to do all the time?
That's my outlook on it as well! But I think T is feeling the other way because 81 yr old grandpa still does his own lawn, and it looks amazing. Also, my dad told T (a looong time ago way before any of the lawn service thinking even came up) that he'd do the same as my grandpa and mow his own lawn as long has he physically could.
Eh! To each his own.
No, I don't think that is being lazy. I feel like I'm keeping the economy going. I've had different ones for about 8 years. I LOVE IT!
Instead of lazy...sounds more like a pride issue for him?
We have one b/c I insist...M wants to buy the equipment to do it, but I know he wouldn't do it as regularly as it needs it and with a baby on the way, I would rather his time be spent with us than out in the yard.
We have a weekly service. I asked my neighbor the day we moved in for a rec and he gave me the number to his guy. It's no big deal. A lot of people in our neighborhood use a service. I don't want H to have to spend his Saturday morning working in the yard and I don't want to have to nag him to mow every week.
Plus we have a two car garage with a truck, small SUV, dirt bike, 2 bikes, and endless other stuff. We don't have room for a mower and lawn equitment too!
