Even though our yard was piled with leaves from our neighbor's beautiful oak tree, lawn care was the last thing on my mind when I pulled into my driveway. AJ was finishing up a job in the area and approached me about raking the leaves but I'm always wary of anyone new, especially door to door solicitors, and said I wasn't interested. He was very polite and friendly and went on to knock on my neighbor's door.
Curiosity got the best of me and before he got to my neighbor's door, I asked him how much he would charge. He gave me a great quote. I decided to give my man and my neighbor a break from raking a ton of leaves and make this a Christmas gift. We benefit from the shade of the oak tree in the summer so I didn't mind paying to get the leaves raked. When I told my neighbor he said he wished I hadn't done that - he and his son were going to rake the leaves the next day. I told him to enjoy the day with his son doing something enjoyable instead.
Long story short my neighbor was very grateful for the gift afterwards. He and his son raked the small backyard and it took hours. He didn't realize how many leaves there were on the front lawn. The oak tree is huge. He said he couldn't imagine how long it would've taken them to do the front yard, where most of the leaves had fallen.
There were a couple of tiny hiccups but they were addressed swiftly and AJ did such a great job! The number of bagged leaves was impressive. They were neatly placed on our curbs.
AJ is professional, gives reasonable quotes and has such a positive attitude! You can tell when you talk with him that he is sincere and will do a good job. He cares that you feel good about the work he does. We are in the Kempsville area but he travels elsewhere to do the work as well. I have no doubt he will build his business quickly because of good service. I recommend him highly! read more
