Madam, Sir, I am the owner of Upscale Lawn and Garden, based in Victoria for 12 years. I have just moved to Port Alberni and I am enthusiastic about offering qualified, quick, honest and reliable service. Introductory labor rate of $25.00/hour for 2 hours, to give you the opportunity to evaluate the quality of my services. Then we can discuss what would be a fair labor rate for future work. For reference, the labor rate I charged in Victoria was $45.00/hour. I am not seeking "one-time jobs". I am available only for home owners who would like me to perform regular garden maintenance on their property (or tackle garden renovation projects, like replacing old overgrown shrubs with new shrubs). I would also be available for a position of property caretaker (part-time or full-time). Services offered: pruning, trimming, selecting and planting deer-resistant shrubs, bark mulch application, spring and fall cleanup, lawn fertilizing and de-mossing, lawn renovation and repair, etc. I am 57, healthy, semi-retired from a career in project management, non smoker, non drinker, non drug user. I have been in business since 2012. References and proof of a criminal record check are available. No minimum charge, no sales gimmicks, no long-term contracts. Free consultation available. Please note that I do not service properties where pets or pet waste are present. To ensure quality, all services will be performed by the owner, in strict compliance with the rules of social distancing. All my tools are high-power battery-operated, for the lowest level of noise possible, with the same productivity as gas tools. Please note: I would hope that you only want to do business with someone with no history of legal problems, so please feel free to do a background check on me through BC Courts Online. And please know that I also do a background check on all prospective clients through BC Courts Online, so kindly reply to this ad with your full legal name. Thank you for your consideration.
