Our corporate LL fired the contract gardeners before lockdown, and no garden maintenance has been done since. Mowing has restarted, but no gardening, and as we all know green things grow in Spring, they grow and flower and get tatty and need a good haircut.
So that has been my mission today. Armed with loppers, hedge clippers, secateurs, and a saw for the thicker bits, I have been laying waste to unruly vegetation and past their best daisy bushes.
In the middle of all this devastation the community manager arrived, and told me what great job I was doing. So I suggested she might like to organise someone to remove the chopped bits.
Well, it has to be cheaper than paying a contractor to do what I just did right? But I won't hold my breath.
Very satisfying job though. And the daisies will love it...
You might try suggesting that they pay you for your work....

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
