Hi Andy,

Mark from down in Bridgewater here. You mention that you are getting to your limit with mowing. My friend in Tantallon has a lawn care and property maintenance business such as mine. Great guy with a young family trying to build his business. If you wanted to email me directly I could give you his contact info. He would LOVE to have more mowing jobs, as that is what we are both starting out with doing along with other smaller stuff.

Thanks,
Mark Lowe

Thanks Mark, I am sure your friend does great work, the issue for me is the second I refer another provider and things do not go as planned, the customer tries to make it my problem, it has happened three times in the past year.

There is a lot of business where your friend is, close to 80% of our lawn care is in that area and 90%+ of our landscaping and excavation as there are very few providing the quality of work people are demanding. I turned down two in Beechville which is 5 min from him today.
