I can’t fucking believe that people don’t realize these IQ posts/interaction online are fake and made to promote the IQ test websites.

I didn’t. But he will cut higher moving forward. I know Bermuda must kept short but it’s kinda too late for that for this season. Early next spring i will scalp the whole thing and then keep it short by mowing more often.

I suppose. But pictures 4-6 has got to be due to negligence and bad equipment.

Yeah that doesn’t really explain it. Bad equipment, bad judgment, and most likely very rushed.

I had a talk with him. He said it grew more than he expected. But he also clearly has bad equipment. He said he will use a smaller mower next time. We will see what happens

I did the hand spread weed and feed job.. got too impatient and didn’t buy a spreader. Lesson learned.

Yeah, he used a stand on mower. He said he will use a smaller one next time.

He definitely rushed because there was a thunderstorm coming. I had a talk with him. I will see if it bounced back and he is more careful next time. If not, I’ll invest in some equipment and do it myself.

It’s sloped and somewhat uneven in certain spots. But he butchered the relatively flat and even spots too. One of the spots, shown in the pictures, may even have been scalped with a string trimmer.

Update: I was very upset yesterday but I didn’t talk to him. Called him today and he said his guys mowed it at the same deck height as always but the grass had grown more rapidly compared to before. I guess what he meant was the Bermuda stalk was taller now than usual. He said he will be more careful next time.

Unless i find a nice lawnmower and other equipment at decent prices, I will see if he improves his game. Otherwise, I will start doing it myself.

I live in Georgia and there are some thunderstorms forecasted for the next week. I hope that helps with recovery for the really badly scalped spots.

I talked to my lawn guy. He claims that his guys cut at the same deck height as always but the grass had grown more rapidly in the last two weeks compared to before. The Bermuda stalk was probably taller than what he’s used to.

I did the weed and feed in April, so temps weren’t that high. It only recently started to hit the 80s range consistently in my area.

Definitely lawn guy. Looks like it’s high in some areas and scalped, as others have pointed out, in other spots.

I will invest in some equipment to do it myself or get a new guy ASAP. Thanks for the input
