Is it expecting too much for a lawn mowing service to blow leaves off the sidewalk? I have two young men who mow my lawn. They don't feel it's there responsibility to blow leaves off sidewalk. If there is a small stack of leaves that have blown near the garage or driveway they don't believe removing them is part of their service. I've tried to explain that it makes their work look sloppy when they just a little scattering of leaves here and there.They say that's an entirely different service. I know about fall clean-up and that is not what I'm asking them to do. They indicate none of their other customers complain. Am I expecting too much in 2009. I've had services over the years and this is really a different experience than what I've had in the past.

They're townhomes, so the yards are relatively small. I'd like to get a decent amount, since I'll be using my own lawnmower and weed trimmer, plus gas.

Should I start lawn mowing/care business? Here is my current situation: I am a 30 year old male, married with 2 children in a suburb of Indianapolis. I am currently an accountant for a firm and not completely happy with my job. I have recently started a real estate investment/property management company with a family member. He is the bank roll and I am the "worker bee." I have a strong interest in starting a lawn mowing service for residential and commercial. It would be something part-time while doing the rental property part-time so I can leave my full-time job.

Northern Va. 1/4 acre lawn mowing prices. How much? How much is typical for a professional, licensed, insured lawn service to charge for just mowing an average 1/4 acre lot weekly in the Northern Virginia area? Or any other large (high cost of living) major metro area. PLEASE state what metro area you're from if not NOVA. I don't trust the neighborhood kids (not that one would have the ambition to earn a buck around here anyway) and am looking for prices to determine what is high-low-and median. I'm also looking for just mowing, not pruning aerating, fertilizing etc., just the price of a weekly mow. Thank you for your time, Poor Golfer.

Why isnt there a requirement for people who receive Welfare check to do community service? I am just wondering why there isnt a system in place that would force people who are on Welfare to give back to the community that is feeding them by doing community service. It would be very simple: 1. The person and all their children must report to Social Services once a week, and prove that they are using the welfare check on bottles and diapers by bringing in store receipts. If they dont do this, then they would not get another check and their children would be taken in by social services until the person has purchased a weeks worth of bottles and diapers. 2. Once they prove they are taking care of their children's needs, the welfare recipient would then have to do some sort of community service (Mow lawns for public parks, pick up trash off the highway, etc.) for 8 hours a week. During this time, their children would be put in a daycare set up and run by social services.The children would receive one free meal while at this daycare. 3. If the Welfare Recipient does not show up for their community service, then the first time their is a warning. The second time, they will have to work 24 hours of community service the following week. The 3rd offense and their children would be taken in by social services and their checks would be discontinued until they work 2 consecutive 40-hour weeks at a community service site. If the person does none of these, then the courts would have them arrested for child neglect and we would help remove those who think having children is just a way for them to get a check.

Who should pay the increased water bill? Florida Personal Residential rental property: Lease agreement required " the landlord will provide lawn service and the tenant will be responsible for the utility cost incurred." Lawn died after two years since the tenant moved in. The landlord provided monthly lawn mowing service without applying weed killer and pesticides. The tenant watered the 3000 square feet St. Augstine grass with less than 5,000 gallons of water on a monthly basis. Who will be responsible for replacing the dead grass and paying for the increased monthly water bill? Thanks.
My neighbor mowed my lawn and ruined it? I just moved and have had to pay a lawn service to keep up my lawn on a weekly basis - the lawn has been edged and kept at a perfect length. This evening my neighbor, while mowing his lawn, decided to turn around each pass in my lawn - carving out deep circles that are shorter than my lawn and his while turning around. I am so angry - what can I do to make sure this doesn't happen again? Also- he might have killed my grass since he cut it down almost to the ground. Also, I would like to add that I can not put any fence/rock/landscaping between our property lines due to HOA guidelines....and I am sure it is my property line - he went over it by 2 feet. Thanks! :)
Can a lawncare service put a lien on your home? We just bought a home last year. A lawn care service was previously taking care of the lawn; hired by the last owners of the home. We were never approached to continue with the service. No contract was ever signed with us to continue the lawn service. They continued to come out and mow the lawn. We didn't even know the name of the company to call so we thought that the previous owners had taken care of it for the year. Now we get a bill saying we have to pay an extravagant amount or else they will put a lein against our home. Am i obligated to pay for this?
