Happily, I've found a landscaper who took the task off my hands. The rock is in, and I'll plant a lilac and add mulch to the dirt area that remains.
I confess, I headhunted this guy from the modern bungalow. I saw his crew working there and got his number, and later confirmed that he comes well-recommended.
What's great about him is that he has fixed a bunch of little things (for free) that I had not asked him to. Tightened a sagging gate, pounded in loose fence nails, pulled out some old juniper stumps. He fixed the broken conduit. He looked at my sprinkler system and had a forecast of doom, but then came back and said, "It's not as bad as I thought."
He's a keeper!
He sounds like a keeper! I hate those nagging chores that I never can quite get to, and it is so nice when someone else does it.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! And I love lilacs. . .
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. Now, if we could just clone him and send one to the northeast.
ReplyDelete... or down here to the islands
ReplyDeleteHe's a candidate for sainthood!
ReplyDeleteIf he is willing to travel to Louisville, I could use him in spring.
ReplyDeleteKathi, some of the stuff I hadn't even noticed need fixing!
ReplyDeleteWendi, me too! I think they'll make a nice screen there.
Betts, you've got a handyman already!
You, too, Mimi!
Claire, I told him that.
Manisha, I'll ask him.
Sounds like someone I should know about! I am lucky my hubby is very handy, but sometimes we get busy!
