alias_sqbr: pretentious quote over a seascape (naughty shell)
[personal profile] alias_sqbr
Since I know other people have had trouble getting gardeners who are interested in actually turning up to do ones gardening(*): I just got my garden weeded and reticulation fixed by Grant Industries in Bayswater, and they were quick friendly and cheap ($35 an hour, and didn't charge me extra when it took an hour longer than they estimated) 0415819908 or 92754154

He didn't quite do all the things I expected to get done, but did do all things I asked for so I guess that's my fault for not being clear.

I think the trick is to use the local paper not the yellow pages.

(*)I'm pretty sure that every single time I have left my number with a gardener for them to call me back it wasn't returned.

Speaking as a gardener, it's not so much that they don't want the work as that with a very few exceptions we all hate using the phone. For some reason the two seem to go together. So it's best to keep ringing until answered rather than hoping they will ring back.
