Advice wanted:
Hired landscaper to mulch leaves and move branches and limbs at perimeter of yard (in woods). He sent a neighbor kid with a leaf blower, who is in the middle of yard. Costs $60/hr, kid probably makes $20, at most. No equipment to mulch. No instructions re: logs, etc. Can't reach co owner.
@Liscotta mmm...i'd tell the kid to stop & that you need to talk to the boss. That's pretty shady in my opinion.
@Liscotta ...to clarify-if that wasn't what you were expecting, then I would definitely thank the kid for doing what's been done so far, and then tell him you need to talk to the owner. I'd also be very clear with the owner as to what your expectations are/were.
@FayreLylith
Thanks. I did go talk to him, told him to call my husband (whom he knows, kid is literally neighbor) and his boss to make sure everyone was on the same page. He never called my husband, and left. The yard is in worse shape, damaged flowerbeds, pile of leaves in front of house, and my son's graduation party is Sunday... which is why we hired someone for the first time ever.
@Liscotta Yaaaay!! Sounds like things worked out after all! You are all definitely heroes!! Enjoy the day tomorrow! 🌻 🌻 🌻
@FayreLylith been working on it all day, my husband is a hero! (So am I, frankly!) Thankful my other kid is currently making us dinner!
