Meeting at job site/central pick up location
Daily POV:
You meet your team for pick up at a designated spot (Spryfield or Peninsula) and head to the site in Bedford, Dartmouth or Halifax. By 7:30am you've started mowing the front lawn before moving onto pruning the hedge. There's a patch in the lawn that needs some overseeding, and you finish by blowing off the driveway so things look picture-perfect for the client. With the next properties off the list you're back to the meeting spot around 5:00pm. Relax and enjoy the evening - tomorrow is sodding and a garden install!
