June 15, 2017

As part of the ECHO UAG community we decided to ask some of our experts about what is craziest thing their customer asked them to do in their landscaping business. Here is what one of our expert members had to say.
 

Naylor Tailaferro – Clean Cut Lawn Services

I was mowing a lawn that I use to have and I didn't really know the whole situation that happened with them, but for whatever reason, they said their budget. You know they weren't able to afford it anymore so towards the end or it was like mid-season they canceled my service, and then at the end of the season they had me come back. "They" had me come back and I was mowing the lawn and all of a sudden the husband pulls up down the street and he starts walking down. He was like, "Hey how's it going?" I'm like, "Good."

I'm just finishing putting the mower back up in the trailer and he was like, "Hey can you drive stick?" I'm like, "Yeah." He's like, "Can you get my Jeep out of the driveway? Me and my wife we just got some stuff going on. We got some issues. Can you just get my Jeep out of the driveway?" I'm like, "No. I don't really feel comfortable doing that."

I just want to go home and be done. So I just separated myself from that situation, but the neighbor backed it out and got it all ... got it out and everything. And, then he just drove off with it, but I was like, "Wow, that was really, really weird." I did not feel comfortable in that situation.
