Some people don't care about their lawns the way you do. It's probably best not to get worked up over it. When I was a kid in Sauganash, if someone failed to cut his lawn for ten days, it was like they wanted to form a posse and storm his house.
Funny thing is this year, I'm working really hard to get my lawn to seed naturally - we've had a few dry years, and there are some rough patches thanks to an odd layout that doesn't necessarily retain water evenly (lots of weird hills in my yard). My neighbor (who has a weekly landscaper) asks me daily when I'm going to mow again (I just did it last week)...drives me up a wall. He also gets pissy when I'm out there at 8-8:30 on a weekend morning to cut. Whatever.
I think there are a lot of guys like this, and it gets worse with age/retirement. My neighbor mows like every three days, and I'm sure he thinks I don't mow enough. His grass is fucking dead because he mows it so much. I think he also gets offended when I have my guy Hernandez come mow occasionally when I can't get to it. Weird old fuckers
Hernandez huh? Does he also replace the lawn jockey after he mows or does he just mow around it ?
Both.
Seriously though, Hernandez is one of the most professional people I've ever done business with. I don't even remember how we got his number (actually, it's some woman's number who coordinates for him).
He literally only goes by Hernandez, doesn't speak English, and is probably illegal, but he is one professional motherfucker. We hired him a few times at our old house, so when we moved we texted once to see if he would do our new house. He was there the next day. We have a pretty cut up yard and a couple fence gates, so usually when you have someone come out to do work or give a quote for something, they have a million questions. Not Hernandez. When he showed up, I went to greet him and give him a rundown of what I needed. Fucker waved me off and blew right by me on his zero turn. 30 minutes and $25 later, the yard looked perfect. Did the edges and bagged everything too. He's the Bill Brasky of lawn care.
when i was working landscaping in college i became a crew leader. i was given the option of 1 of 2 crews of college losers or a crew of 2 hernandez'. juan and julio. guess who i picked. i paid them cash at the end of the day and had to pick them up and drop them off each day. they were simply amazing when it came to lawn maintenance. they spoke 0 english and ate 2 virginia style hotdogs and chips every day for lunch. we made twice as many stops as any other crew.
