I needed my front and back yard mowed and I needed ALL of the bushes trimmed to the correct size, they were bushes that had turned into trees they were so dog-gone big! I also had a dead tree I needed taken out that they cut down and removed. I needed all of the planters/boarders cleaned out and I had a few plants removed all together.
My bushes and trees had grown completely out of shape and the yard looked more like a jungle than a yard! The worse part was that I’d had a Gardner for the past 6 years and I’d used about 4 or 5 different gardeners for the 5 years before that, 11 years total. When Tony from affordable quality landscape got here I needed $2,100.00 worth of yard work done, so much for having and paying a Gardner(s) all those years! When Tony came to work on my yard he had 2 of his employees with him and the three of them worked for about 3+1/2 to 4 hours all together so if you count the hours between the 3 of them it took 10+1/2 to 12 hours to get my yard done and all of them worked very hard non-stop the entire time they were here! When they were finished I was speechless and I was almost in tears because it looked awesome! My yard was a source of stress to me every single time I looked at it. My neighborhood is not the kind of neighborhood where you can let your yard go because if you do the neighbors will call the city and report you. I couldn’t do the yard work myself anymore due to a back injury so needless to say it was a great source of stress and it gave me a stomach ache every time I opened the blinds in the morning and saw it! Up until the time I couldn’t do the work anymore our yard always looked beautiful, we use to get comments from all the neighbors that ours was the best looking yard in the whole neighborhood and it was. When Tony and his men were finished with my yard I was thrilled because, for one thing, I remembered how my yard USE to look 11 years prior and it looked closer to the way it use to look than it has in the past 11 years! Tony and his men were awesome! They were polite, honest and very hard working, I liked that a lot. To be honest with you I thought that was a lot of money to charge because I was picturing what it would look like when it was done and I didn’t think there was really that much work to do. This was a misconception on my part and it was just that I had expected to get what I’d always gotten. I’d always paid a lot of money before and it never really looked that much different. You see I was expecting what I had always gotten from all the other gardeners which wasn’t that much, it always cost me a lot of money but it never really looked very good when it was done it was just less of a mess if you know what I mean. When these men were done I was SO pleased that each one also got a $20.00 tip, that’s how good my yard looked! Here’s that only bad part about affordable quality landscape: I need a full time regular Gardner but they don’t do regular work in my area, plus in the area they do work in they are booked to the gills! That’s how good they are! They book up quick, heck a man can only do so much work in a day and can only handle so many clients before he’s working 24/7 right? lol :-) But....I did tell him that if they expand to please put me on the top of his list for new clients! Maybe if I’m a good girl my wish will come true!? My father was an extremely hard worker his entire life and he instilled that quality in me, he taught all of his children to do an honest days work for and honest dollar and to do the job well, complete and correct the first time. To be bluntly honest Tony is the FIRST man, and actually the only man, in a LOOOOONG time I’ve hired to do work for me that gave me the "quality of work" my father had instilled in me, and I’ve hired plenty from Tim’s auto repair in Clackamas who completely destroyed my Cadillac to Daniel Barry Simpson of Abbott & Simpson roofing and sheet metal inc. in Portland & Washington to install a new roof who caused over $100,000+ in damage to my home! Each was worse that the one before them! So to receive the type of work and the exact same quality of work my father instilled in me to always provide someone that trust you to do your best, I couldn’t have chosen any better than when I hired Tony and his men from AFFORDABLE QUALITY LANDSCAPING! You don’t find that kind of man much anymore, it’s called honor and integrity where a man’s word is his bond! Tony gave me a bid and that’s what I paid, no extra bull charges at the end! He explained exactly what he was going to do and he did exactly that, and more! That’s all you can ask of a man, to do his best and he did! Thank you Tony Misley for being a man of honor and integrity & thank your men for me as well, you guys are awesome! I LOVE❤️ my yard again! Thank you
