We have been so insanely busy this summer it has been really hard to keep up with the yard work, housework, work-work and everything else life throws our way. Chances are, especially if you’re a mom, you also find it hard to balance everything and you surely could use some help! Amazon Home Services makes it easy to get the help you need!
Whether you need help with plumbing, setting up your TV, landscaping, housecleaning or more Amazon Home Services has pre-packaged and custom services to fit your needs. Usually when I need some type of service it takes some time and research to find the perfect match for the job. I’ll ask my friends on Facebook for recommendations, read reviews on the companies and shop around for a deal. With Amazon Home Services I don’t have to worry about any of that because they offer a Happiness Guarantee. They stand behind every service and if you’re not satisfied, they’ll make it right or give you a refund. Amazon Home Services only uses handpicked pros with strong track records for quality service.
Another thing that holds me back from hiring help is worrying about the cost. Some companies offer free bids or estimates but that takes time, especially if you are doing price comparisons or if they only give you a ballpark range. Amazon Home Services offers upfront pricing on pre-packaged services so you can order, pay, and go. If you need a more customized service you can create a custom service request and get estimates emailed to you for free.
Last summer I started clearing an area of our yard that some weeds and blackberry bushes had started to take over. I worked for hours cutting stuff back by hand but never completed the job before the bad weather rolled in for fall. I really didn’t have the time or the right tools to get it done efficiently but it’s been eating at me ever since. I needed to get the yard cleaned up for a big surprise party we were hosting so I found Green Thumb Landscaping on Amazon Home Services and hired them for a 4 hour package for $219.
Normally my schedule is really flexible but my calendar has been really full recently. Green Thumb Landscaping worked with me until we were able to confirm a mutually agreed upon time and date for the service to take place before the party. The worker arrived ahead of schedule with all the tools he would need and was ready to work. I showed him the main area that I wanted cleared and then asked him to do a few more little things like trim some tree branches if he had time. The photo above was from last fall before I started trying to clear the area myself. It had gotten much worse since then but I forgot to take a “before” photo.
As you can see, this was a pretty large area. It was completely overgrown by blackberry bushes and weeds. Now it’s all cleared out! It just needs a little more work to turn this back into a garden area. There was a tarp over this area when we moved in to keep the weeds down but it was neglected for so long they just started growing through it. I need to remove the old tarp and work the dirt a bit but then we should be back in business! I couldn’t have done it without Amazon Home Services!
After Green Thumb Landscaping cleared this area, the worker not only trimmed up the trees I has asked him to but he did a few more as well. He put the branches in a designated area and got most of the blackberry bushes broken down into our yard waste bin. When that was full, he took some of the waste with him on his truck as as courtesy — this was not part of the service but he went above and beyond. Needless to say, I was pretty impressed, not only with this particular company, but with how easy Amazon Home Services is to use, especially a busy mom like me.
