New here and this is my first comment. Hello, everyone.
You are obviously a professional. I surely couldn't do such quality work myself, as I'm sure your clients can't either. You can tell by the estate that they aren't hurting financially - and many rich people want to gripe and/or get a cheaper rate. Paying less money for services is how they remain wealthy.
I'd personally address the situation with the individual who complained. Ask what he wants and expects. If it's nitpicking or unreasonable, collect your pay and wish them well.
Complaining about how a rose garden looks in April says more about their knowledge than your ability. What are they expecting? Full bloom everywhere? My garden is just about coming back to life and certainly isn't looking good, let alone at its best, currently.
Thanks Bulkerb, only just seen your post. No doubt I will be calling on you and this forum for lots of help over the next few months. Bring on the summer
I thought I would put another reply to my fed up thread went in today only to have the client say that we have a problem !We need to weed the beds as there are more weeds than plants.
I have spent a few hours weeding and edging one bed picture to follow shes talking crap as always
well my friends just to close this chapter in my life yesterday the lady I worked for insulted me for the last time and I packed my stuff and quit.
ok now I have no work but at least I'm not miserable every Monday Wednesday and Friday got to find more work not a great time but fingers crossed god bless you all

Best of luck. I'm sure you will find someone who appreciates you
Sorry to hear that bulkerb, but you've probably done the right thing. You'll no doubt find a more appreciative client very soon.
Good luck to you
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Good for you bulkerb. I know that must have been a tough decision to make but who wants to feel like that going in to work?
I've seen the pictures of your work and I can't imagine you having any dificulty finding employment.
Good Luck. x
