My Mom has been using a landscaper to keep his yard clean & manicured for a few years now, but and the landscaping dealer consistently does a superb job because his grass consistently looks superb & the trees & shrubs in his yard are consistently cut perfectly. So, he has never complained about the service because the service that he acquired was amazing! Well, that changed after the landscaping dealer decided to increase their rate & while I feel the increase is a bit excessive, I understand why the dealer did what they did… The gas prices are through the roof & unluckyly, that costs will need to be passed down to the clients. And while our Mom can still afford to pay the new price of his landscaping, he was not excited with the hike at all, but he went as far as searching for a new landscaping dealer in town, however i tried to advocate him to stick with the same dealer because they have been tolerable to him over the years, & he has never had an issue with them. He acquired a quote from another landscaping dealer in his area & realized that it was higher than the new rate that he was paying. So, it was then that he realized that he needed to stick with the dealer that he has been using for years. The shrubbery isn’t consistently greener on the other side, & sometimes it’s just better that the two of us continue the service relationships that the two of us have established over the years. I am just hoping that our Mom decides to stick with the landscaping dealer that has been providing the best service that his money can buy.
