However, if you simply want to know if you can trust them to do good work even if you are not at home to keep an eye on them, you may get faster answers by checking out the testimonials tab on that site. Since this advice column originates out of the U.S. I cant be positive that we have advice-givers from Australia let alone if we do, that they have used this particular service. In the U.S. we also have a better business bureau, the BBB to check up on a business. I don't know what the equivalent would be in Australia but you might check with such a service to see if they have any info on this company.
If you simply want to know if its a good idea to use someone to keep up the yard while you are gone...yes I do. I am a gardener myself. The grass grew so fast I had to mow for sure once a week...no taking a week break as the grass would get too high and make it even harder to cut next time I mowed. Then weeds, they come up even faster than your prized flowers and other plantings. To be sure your plants don't get choked out by weeds or have to fight for sun and nutrients with weeds, it is almost a daily task in summer. I was the only one in a family of 5 who would do this work and I often spent 2-4 hours a day just trying to keep it up when I was home every day. So theres nothing wrong with using a gardening service if you want that extra help. Good luck. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
