I am renting a home and am responsible for lawn care. I live in a drought prone area so I don't need biweekly mowing. All of the local services wanted a minimum biweekly commitment and their rates were a little high. I wanted to find a local person, and to be able to schedule mowing as needed. This site provides that connection, so I'm not blindly searching on Craigslist. It also ensures secure and convenient electronic payment. The service was fantastic, fast and I plan to use it again when needed.
