RT vs. The Landscapers

We tend to our own lawn care (and, it probably shows).  We cut our own lawn.  Pull weeds.  Do our own planting.  Our lawn looks pretty good.  It may not be as pristine as any of the neighbors lawns, but, it's decent.  Oh, and our weed pulling?  It's all done by hand....by me.

Our neighbor has a landscaping company come on a weekly basis.  This neighbor's landscaping company does bush trimming, weed whacking, weeding, mulch and lawn mowing.  I use the word company because there are four or five guys walking around trimming, mowing and even blowing the trimmings off the path.

The landscapers have taken it upon themselves to cut the grass by our evergreens and along our fence.  They even do a little trimming around the fence.  I'm not sure why they do this, there is a trail between our houses which clearly marks property lines.  I actually was fine with it.  I figure less work for us to do when we have to cut our grass.

Apparently, RT is not too happy with the landscapers' work.  During the great rains that we experienced, the lawn mowers have left some huge tire tracks on our lawn and have dug up some of the grass by the evergreens.  RT has put down grass seed only to find more tire tracks after the landscapers visit.  RT even put up a sign in the area so they wouldn't mow in front of the trees.  The landscapers moved the sign and mowed the grass.

We have three more months of adding more grass seed, placing signs on the lawn in front of the trees, adding a huge landscaping rock in front of the evergreens and listening to RT complain  talk about the landscapers killing his lawn.
