It's really nice. Years ago, say 1987-1989 I worked for a landscaping/gardening
co. which had about 200 customers under contract mostly in Blackstone.
We set out our days from a garage in Fox Point, then off to Wayland and into Blackstone. I've been all through the best yards and houses there, let me say you don't
get a sense of how nice many of them are without having this kind of intimate
access. Bar none, the best area of Providence. We did have some very fussy
customers. Intricate flower gardens and arrangements. This is back in the late
1980's mind you, and I know some of the fussiest residential customers paid
$400/mo. for our services.
