The employee was kind did a good job and showed up on the day he said he would and was knowledgeable. I would definitely be interested in having work done by them again if we end up needing it.

This guy is awesome. I told him what I needed and he offered to do a couple extra things. I’ve got him coming back every two weeks, and I’ll use him for leaf removal too. Great value for what I’m paying.

The guy who mowed was very prompt and respectable. He asked for any specifics that I was looking for. He was very fast especially for how poor my lawn quality is and how high the weeds were. I've scheduled for him to come back. He gives discounts for return visits. I'm also scheduling leaf removal for later in the season, and we're in talks about snow removal in Winter.

I was excited to have Yard Tamer come and take care of items in my yard that I couldn’t. Unfortunately, the day of my appointment it was awful weather and raining. I thought perhaps he’d reschedule but instead he waited until the rain stopped then came. I was excited to have it done, however, my yard was drenched and it was cold! He mowed, edged and trimmed down my bushes but left a mess, everywhere. I didn’t think it was done so I texted him about it. He said that it was because of the weather and I should have seen it before he cleaned up! But, a week later it still looks horrible. Every time I go outside it frustrates me. I honestly thought maybe he would come back and clean up after it dried. I won’t be calling them again.

Details: One time only • Residential • 1,000 - 5,000 sq ft (0.02-0.11 acres) • Mowing, trimming, and edging • Fertilizer application • Weeding and prevention • Standard grass (under 6 inches) • No, I don't need to be there

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I will usually offer discounts for repeat customers. I'll offer bigger discounts for referrals that result in another booking. I feel that my pricing is fair and not inflated. I keep a small operation to keep my costs low, and as long as I'm able to book clients, I am able to pass the savings to you to keep the work flowing. That is my business model.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I don't require a lot of interaction or communication. I am sensitive to people who are shy. I am perfectly capable of communicating, even in real-time, through email or text. Otherwise, give me a call and tell me what you'd like to see. If you'd like to get to know your yard guy we're not going to be awkward. We'll greet you with a smile, as names, and try to catch your vision. We understand that working with "strangers" can be a little intimidating, so we want to reassure you that we are there to work hard and quickly for your vision. Once there is interest, we'd love to initiate a conversation, book a time that works, get your expectations, and get to work. If you're satisfied, we hope that we have left an impression and earned your repeat business, and/or a referral. We want to be "your guy" for this kind of work.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As for me, I've been doing yard care since I was 10. 25 years later it is something that I really enjoy. I worked for Senske Lawn Service (unfortunately, they just sold lawn care and pest control) and I weirdly have a passion for mowing, edging, and weeding. I like being able to see the progress as it happens. There is no "certification" for lawn care, or pruning bushes. I would be worried if there was. It's a small business that meets a need. I am also educated in marketing with a bachelor's degree and 5+ years of experience. And, if you're reading this... I've just found another avenue to marketing that information. It's unconventional, but it's working.
