The landscape environment is changing to meet the demands of the public with new products coming on line everyday. I consider myself a gardener which in some people eyes is the same as a mow and blow guy but there are differences and similarities. We use our rakes more but the need to use the blowers is far greater, a push mower is good for small yards but not practical in a commercial setting. Even a push mower with and engine is not very practical. We have a limited time to make your property look better than when we <br />arrived, remember we are there anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour on average, you the home owner live there 24/7 so if you can do some of the chores around YOUR home it may reduce the need for us to use the machines. I have been doing this for about 12 years and love it. I love the pictures too, i try to encourage my customers to take out their lawns and start a small farm or anything but a lawn. My front yard is a butterfly and bee haven with the occasional tomato, corn, potatoes growing as well.

I don't like it when we mow our lawn because rocks hit our car and windows, I might replace the grass with river rocks instead.

I used a 2-cylinder weed whacker for 3 hours one day and when I was done, my entire body vibrated for a half hour afterward. And though I wore ear and eye protection, the fumes from the engine are probably still in my lungs. My father used a scythe on our farm quite effectively, and I'm sure I can learn. I have had people suggest I get a blower for the barn, but I refuse. I love a clean barn, and that is why I have provided brooms.Betsy Davenporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11332334981838727413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389946703227720672.post-37813479069356651972011-09-19T09:42:12.932-07:002011-09-19T09:42:12.932-07:00We had a neighbor who's idea of nature was ope...We had a neighbor who's idea of nature was opening the sliding glass door to the back yard while he watched TV. Unfortunately he was elderly and hard of hearing so the volume was turned up high. So the while I was gardening I had to listen to his TV programs and loud commercials. When I brought tomatoes to him and politely asked if they could turn the TV down a bit I was given a lecture on how he didn't want to be a good neighbor, he just wanted to be left alone. Oh my. We were relieved when after a few years they moved to assisted living.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094162453440856943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389946703227720672.post-82992288196267671782011-08-26T08:54:53.096-07:002011-08-26T08:54:53.096-07:00amen to all that.

They only pull the cord and whack away, not paying any attention to how the plant grows and its innate shape. And then, of course, they "blow" the trimmings away, not bothering to recycle.
