Yard work help

Posted on October 17, 2006

Question:
Hi Chuck!!
My parents live in Chesterton and are now in their 80's. I usually fly from Arizona to Chesterton every year to "prune" two Fire Bushes, two Mock Orange and several Evergreen bushes around the yard. I realize August isn't the best time to prune but it is the only time I could come.

I have had a couple of heart attacks this past year and can not make it. They came to Arizona to help me from October-May. (Therefore missing the Fall/Spring yard prep.) My parent can not do this type of work and are frustrated on how the yard now looks. A couple of BAD experiences with unknown people that have taken advantage of their innocents have left them feeling too vulnerable to look for outside help. They come into your store whenever they need something for the yard or my dog. I would greatly appreciate it if you knew someone that you could suggest I hire to do the above work for me?

Thanks for any suggestions!!!

Sincerely,
Jeanne

Answer:
Hodge tree service has been around a long time but I am not sure if this job is too small for them. You may call them to find out. Also Patty Potrzebowski is an excellent prospect for this type of work. Find her phone number in the Westville area phone book. Good luck, Chuck
