I am a lawn mowing contractor. I have a lot of clients in Mt Eden Sandringham. I see these cowboys paid by the council on their big machines and they skim the berms leaving grass all over the paths. Then I come along and weed eat the edges of paths and around trees, poles, I mow the berm again, often the same day and tidy up because they don't cut the berm low enough and they leave grass clippings all over the paths. I do this because that is included in the price I quoted the client. Therefore the ratepayer is paying some cowboy for nothing.
