Way back in September of 2012 I made clear my thoughts on these gardener services that take care of your lawn (full disclosure - I couldn't live without mine). For a princely sum, they sweep in, mow, whack & blow and sweep out. And they all seem to fervently believe that when they blow stuff, it disappears into another dimension.
That said, we now must address the sheer number of these guys. Each one has a large truck and tows a large enclosed van. They park wherever they want and throw an orange cone out assuming that is all that the unwary driving public requires.
They forget that we here in this part of New Jersey have narrow, winding roads. Tossing a cone here and there does not safe passage make. You get two or three of these guys within spitting distance of each other, one on the other side of the street from the others and all hell breaks loose.
Weaving through these mazes alone is challenge enough - dealing with oncoming traffic as well can produce gridlock. In the suburbs. You want to get out of your car and slap them around a bit, but then you remember they have large, sharp tools handy.
And that you don't care a twit who YOUR guy blocks as long as you get your grass cut. And your yard scraps blown into another dimension.
