Landscaping Question!

Ok, so the guy who we bought from loved to garden and we have tons of plants and bushes throughout our property. DH and I are more simplistic, however decided to put off the redoing the landscaping until next year since the quotes we received were upwards of 15k!

I have a landscaper come every other week. All he does is mow the weeds/lawn and edge the property. I asked him if he could trim the bushes on the property to make it at least look neat with what we have. I told him I'd pay him more every 3rd week if he did that. So of course he trimmed 2 bushes and charged me $20. I have spoken to him before and the same thing happend. This is obviously not going to work for me.

We did have a different landscaper who we had a similar issue with...didn't want to trim our bushes. So my question is, who do I hire to trim the bushes on my property. They are all overgrown and ugly looking but with some shaping they could look neat enough until we redo the outside.

I'd like a full service company, but I have no clue how to find such a service. I write down phone numbers of trucks around my neighborhood, however they all seem to only do the lawnscaping.

I'm kind of at a loss here.

Re: Landscaping Question!

Our landscaper is full service but only trims the bushes on request, it's not a regular service. Every week they mow and edge and rake the beds but it's not super thorough, I have to weed myself (or pay them to).
