Elfie, we had TruGreen for a few years but they were only supposed to do the lawn and stay out of the flower beds. Then, they came once and within a day all of my Polydamas Swallowtail caterpillars died. We fired them then. (Okay, Mom did. She really likes the butterflies.) Fortunately, Dad had retired by that point so he could take over lawn duty once again. It was tough when he was still working. I don't know how other people hire folks to do their gardening chores. I'm so protective of everything I would be out there micro-managing until they quit!
