In the past year, people have been cutting back on services and other expenses. You would think that in this supposed recession companies would be jumping at the chance to get your business. Nope, not the case with here. Recently my sister's backyard has grown wild and it's pretty embarrassing to be "that house" in the neighborhood. I always make fun of those people. Anyway, it was decided that we would have someone come and take care of the whole yard in one swoop. That's where I come in.A list of landscapers in the area were gathered and I started with some calls. A called a number of places letting them know that I was interested in receiving quotes. Of all the places I called only one company returned my call. We then set up a time for him to pass by, examine the work to be done and write up a quote. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, it would have been had he shown up. He never came by during the time he said he would or even call to reschedule. Not a good first impression in my book. Feels like I've been stood up, but there are plenty of landscapers where he came from.
...After I wrote this, he finally showed up (3 hours late). I still probably won't choose him because his quote was pretty high.
