Black Friday is the traditional start of the holiday gift buying season, but Nanette’s been shopping for months. She takes great pride in finding the perfect gift for everyone on her list. There’s just one problem: her in-laws, Stan and Miriam.
“They already have everything,” Nanette explained. “They have a beautiful South Shore home, and it’s perfectly decorated. They’re both on special diets, which means food gifts are right out. Last year we got them tickets to a Broadway show, and they enjoyed that, but Miriam did mention that now that they’re getting older, a trip up to New York isn’t as much fun as it used to be for them. So what am I supposed to give them?”
There’s nothing more precious than the gift of time, and that’s what you’re giving when you give the gift of South Shore lawn care. Mowing, fertilizing, and caring for the lawn can take hours. These are hours that may be more fun spent playing with grandchildren, visiting friends, or engaging in favorite hobbies.
Taking care of your South Shore lawn can be physically demanding. Sometimes the physicality of lawn care isn’t apparent to homeowners in their thirties, forties, and fifties, but as you get older, tasks that were no big deal before can become challenging. Many people who are in the Baby Boomer generation will never admit how sore and tired they are after taking care of their lawns, and it is important to them that their homes look nice, so they do it anyway, suffering in silence. Having a South Shore lawn service do all that work can be a much needed relief, and helps your loved ones stay happier and healthier.
The other nice thing about giving lawn care service as a gift is that the odds are pretty good no one’s given your recipient the same thing already! Every year, we have a handful of clients who do this for their parents or other loved ones. It is always appreciated!
