Shreveport Lawn Service

Since we've moved from North Bossier down to Shreveport in South Highlands, I've learned quite a few things about home ownership.  The least of the lessons learned involve lawn care.  They are as follows:

  1. It's hot in Shreveport in June, hotter in July, and in August you burst into flames.
  2. When it's hot I don't want to do yardwork... not that I'm crazy about it when it's nice out.
  3. If you dislike a task enough, it's well worth the money to pay someone else to do it.
  4. Be selective about who you pay for yardwork

A year ago, I finally learned the value of #3 -paying someone else to do a job I hate.  Shortly after, I learned #4 - being selective about who you pay for those jobs.  I hired someone who had done work for our neighbor in the past, and needed work.  He did a good job at first, but slowly started to miss spots or not weedeat from week to week.  So, we parted ways.

This spring, I started back to mowing again but kept noticing my neighbor's lawn across the street, which was now being cut by a lawn service.  It always seemed to be cut and trimmed well.

I talked to my neighbors and found that they've been using Baber Lawn Service.  Soon after, I contacted them and have been happy with the results.  No missed spots, no nonsense.  I come home from work, the grass is mowed.  That's an awesome feeling.

So, anywho... the point of the post was really just to offer that advice for anyone else who shares a hatred of yard work.  Hire someone else if you're able... and if you're in Shreveport, call Daniel at Baber Lawn Service (Contact info below).
