I needed two mountains of landscaping rock moved from the street and spread in the backyard. I rehab houses, and the landscaper I usually use doesn't work in Buckeye, so I had to find someone.
I called a landscaper who left an advertisement at the house. He answered the phone in broken English. I described the project, and asked for a price quote. His response was "What day?" I said "tomorrow if you can, but how much?" He replied "What day?" I said "No. How much? He said "What day? I said "Tomorrow. How much?" He said "What day?". I said "Thank you. Have a good day. Bye." If I can't communicate with a landscaper about a quote, I'll never be able to explain what I need done at the job site. A few minutes later, his wife called speaking slightly better English. I told her that I needed a price quote to have rock moved tomorrow. Her response? "What day?"
I was ready to give up and do it myself when I found Skyler Moving & Labor on Craigslist, and called them. Doug gave me a quote, and said he could be out the next day. When he and a helper showed up, I explained to them where I wanted everything. They finished the job that afternoon, and the backyard looks great.
