  • I cut a few yards in this neighborhood and got a text from a customer saying I needed to cut the yard across the street because it was so overgrown! I did end up cutting the yard for free just to keep my customers and the HOA Happy

      First i would ask if they are paying you to cut it seeing as they are ordering then tell them to pay up front in full if not then tell them to shut up and go mow it themselves if they keep running it then ask the police to talk to them or the hoa about threatening behavior its a public safety issue you have the right to feel safe while working in a public setting

      You know how there's a carbon crisis and a massive drought and alarming levels of global warming? You know what we use most of our water on? Lawns. You know what happens when you clear all the deep root shade bushes and weeds so a lawn can look nice? The soil can't hold as much water, and the microbes in the soil that would otherwise be handling all the bio waste, they die out and stop turning that waste into carbon in the ground.
      You're part of the problem homie. Life is carbon. You are chopping up carbon nuggets and letting them gas off in the atmosphere, by the ton if business is booming. What is supposed to happen is all that biowaste should be consumed by animals, sht on the ground, and then consumed by worms, sht in the ground, and then consumed by bacteria and fungus, and then when they die, their corpses are pushed down, so all the carbon stays in the ground. And bonus that same system holds water like moss. But not if you kill all the bushes, and weeds, to expose a clean cut lawn. Then the lawn with it's shallow roots and no shade, it need constant watering to stay green.
      HOA's are criminal organizations destroying the future of all humanity for the sake of visual conformity. And if you actually cared for your property, or your own life, and that of all children yet to be born, you might change careers and start encouraging permaculture and wild ecosystem development. Instead of helping idiots continue to destroy the planet to meet delusional standards their war torn and lead poisoned grandparents programmed into their brains.
      Nobody taught you this. It's not your fault. But now you know. Learn how to turn what you do into a solution. And don't take my word for it. Just google the carbon cycle, and water saving methods of land management. You can make even more money and start being a solution instead of the problem. You just need to learn how to create a healthy ecosystem that looks pretty and incorporate that into your landscaping and business model. Life is a carbon battery. You have the skills to be charging it up. You just need to change your perspective a little bit. Your customers will go out of their way and come out their wallets to thank you.
      Also I double dog mfkn dare you. Have a good one homie.

      HOAs are run by tinpot Mussolinis. Power mad, they probably were Hall Monitors in their schooldays. In most states, people already have the federal, state, county, and town governments to contend with. Why add another layer of government? What’s the benefit? If God did not intend for them to be sheared, He would not have made them sheep.

      Yeah some HOAs start fining the person over stuff like this. When the fines are so much they can take a lien on the house and foreclose it. And often someone on the HOA board or their family is a real estate agent. Guess it's a good racket to run if they have no morals and want to feel like they're back in high school bullying people.

      A neighbor was going through chemotherapy. The couple on one side cut 'their side' of his lawn, the family on the other side cut 'their side of his lawn.' And various other folks would tote over a weedwhacker or shrub shears if they had then out for work. No one driving by his place would have known the man was unable to care for his own yard - it always looked presentable.

    What an HOA should be is a group of people who live in a community and look after each other. NOT an enforcement organization. If you see that someone's yard is looking neglected, don't jump them with a fine. Check to see if they are sick, injured, lost a spouse, suffering from depression and so on . Then help them if they need help, form a group within the HOA to help them out. Many hands make quick work. This way the neighborhood looks nice and the area is peaceful and friendly. We all need a little help sometime. Be kind to one another, you may be the next one to need help. TNLC - thank you. The world needs more people like you! ❤

I knew this lady when I was 10 years old and her husband died and her kids were long gone. so she had no one to take care of her. I also take care of anything my elderly neighbors need for nothing. I am 67 myself and see the time coming when I will need help.

I never wanted him to pull in & see the yard not perfect, so he could let the cares of his day go away when he pulled down the drive. While I have still kept it mowed, I just haven’t cared to keep it park like since he passed. I’m finally starting to care about it again, but have a lot of catching up to do.

      @Brandon Jontz you're part of the problem because all you did was bitch about it instead of seeing if you neighbor was ok. What if she had been sick or something? HOAs need to be outlawed. Disgusting!! Grown adults who knew she was recently widowed should have come to visit and check on her!! The older generation is the reason why you are even here!!

      Arizona is rife with HOA's. I think they are a scam. Plenty of neighborhoods survive just fine without them. With that said, I moved to AZ about 4 years ago and couldn't find a house that was for sale that wasn't either too run down or old for my needs or in a crappy neighborhood. So, here I am, forking over money every month for nothing more than a park I never use and some landscaping.

    My father lives in an HOA his HOA goes around counting the weeds in everyone's yard if their are more than 13 weeds you are fined. What an actual waste of time and money since the HOA pays someone to do this. My father knows this since he served as VP on the board when he moved in. He wanted to understand how things worked in this neighborhood. The President had 2 heart attacks he felt was due to the stress levels of the HOA. They harass people into selling their home if the HOA feels they do not take care of the property to their standard.

    I used to work as a foreman gardener for an HOA over here in England.One of their board members used to open her front door and an overweight dog on expanding leash would wobble out, then crap on the lawn i was cutting and go back in, then the front door would close. I once, on seeing this, sneaked over and gently trowelled the dogshit back onto the front doorstep and hid behind the bushes on the other side of the lawn. Not long afterwards, out come Mrs. Pain-in-the-neck, only to step on said gift. She screamed, flew back indoors and i could hear shouting from where i was laughing, trying not to pis myself. However it did have the desired effect as the dog never crapped on that lawn again. We had been known to refuse to cut lawns due to the amount of dogshit on them. I know of two people who went blind in one eye due to Toxicara Cannii, a bug carried in dogs mess, which causes blindness in humans. HOAs generally are run by power crazy people who were mollycoddled or spoilt as kids and are probably anally retentative. This happened in the late 1970s.

    Beautiful work. It would seem you weren't harassed by the HOA, (this time). I can see where it may have started out as a good idea for people to have to follow certain guidelines to keep their property maintained and not be painting their houses some gawd awful color like puce, but they ended up going way overboard and taking it to an extreme that gives it the reputation of being a bunch of power hungry busybodies who think harassing whoever the H they want to is within their rights. If I had been you, I'd have told them to stick it where the sun don't shine. The lady recently lost her husband, so no one knows what she is going thru. The last thing she probably cares about is kissing the HOA's backside. Instead of b*tching, why isn't someone seeing if she needs help? You are a good man.
