My husband and I sat out in the yard for the first time in a long time-- now it is a serene place to relax rather than a job that has yet to be completed!
I did have just one hosta that was hiding in the overgrowth that seems to have been stepped on but am sure will bounce back and one Red Bud tree that they forgot to stake-- but I am sure they will return to do this.
Continue struggle to eradicate the bamboo stand (Was old and very extensive). Nearly all dead now.
1. First of all, after taking so long to finally get responses from the office and get communication even started, I still was not notified of when the guys would be here. I'm sure the office didn't intend to send the guys unannounced, but it did happen. Fortunately it worked out that I was here and had time I could spend explaining the project, etc. because I did want to be here whenever the guys came. However, had I known they were coming, I would have set a sprinkler out overnight to soften the ground for digging and laying the bricks. This would have made the work go faster and better, which would have saved me money in the time it took them to do the job.
2. Neither guy knew what the first project was going to be, and therefore were not prepared with the right equipment. Fortunately I had a wheelbarrow they could use. I felt they should have been instructed what the first project was going to involve, and what the project organizer's ideas about it were. They thought they would have to remove all the sod between the trees, so I told them the project organizer had thought we'd use cardboard and mulch, wondering why they hadn't been told already.
3. Neither guy could figure how to use the bricks I had for the project, and I found myself explaining how to use the shape of the bricks to create the curves. I had to explain it several times over the 3 hours they were here, and I'm still am not convinced it was the best it could have been, so I have concluded that I got manual labor, and, while they were very pleasant men, neither one was very intuitive. That would be more acceptable if I wasn't paying $40 a man-hour.
4. I had been convinced that I would be pleasantly surprised at how much work I would get from the guys, how fast they were. I wasn't impressed. Frankly, for $80 an hour I expected, perhaps, they'd work with a small sod-lifting apparatus of some sort, and at least by the end of 3 hours I'd have the first project completed, which means they'd have the brick edge in place and cardboard and mulched. All that was accomplished was the brick edge.
5. Because of the lack of any equipment, and because the guys were working in dry soil, I could see it was going to be slow. So I felt I had to compromise on the depth of the bricks in able to afford even what I got.
