I agree completely. Do it once and they complain next time you dont do it. I might ask if they want the weeds sprayed and cut next time or so. There happy with that until they get the price, usually not too much for a small area but they really hate paying anymore than they have to. The buggers!Originally posted by Richard Martin
My responsibility stops at the edge of the bed. If the customer desires weeding I have a guy that I set up in a gardening service who will come and do it. I've learned 2 things over the years. If you do it once they will always expect it and that "weed" that you just hacked down was actually a rare $10,000 Mongolian Ringworm plant.
I stay out of the beds.
Wise advice. Unless you know what's what you will eventually kill some ugly 'weed' that they loved. I used to trim-spray with roundup around beds if there wasn't a problem with hitting anything valuable, but since I dropped my license for that it's up to the customer.Originally posted by Richard Martin
