Hi All, so far Gunks.com is 2 for 2 in helpful recommendations to me, looking for a third...

I'm in Accord and need a landscaper who's good with bluestone - I need to put down some patio stones.

If this person also did lawns, that would be great, but if you happen to know an honest, reliable lawn service dude as well, that would be great.

Thanks!

Chris Budney. 629-5697. He's over in Tillson Lake. Not sure if he does bluestone paving stones or not. Just ask.

Ask the Catskill Native Nursery they are right around they may know somebody who can help you.

Multiple suggestions.

For bigger projects (landscape installation/patios) I have used Landscape Innovators, owned by Jim Hyatt, in Accord. Pretty sure he's listed. Jim doesn't do maintenance, just installation.

For smaller installation projects (gardens, perrenials) and bed maintenance, Aja Hudson, in Rosendale, is great. She does landscape installation and maintenance but not mowing.

Finally, for lawn mowing, I use Ray Ritter, also in Accord. Mowing only.

I know, pain in the butt not to have one person do it all, but this has been more cost effective for me. PM me if you can't find them in the phone book and want contact into, it's at home and I am in the city today.

For mowing, I was always happy with Karen & Randi Sutton. I used then when I lived in Kerhonkson.

What's it like to be rich enough to be able to pay someone to mow your lawn??

Fiendishly decadent! It makes me feel like a Saudi Sheik ...but considering it's Memorial Day Sunday and I'm working it's a trade-off. If there is any truth to the maxim "time is money," then I'm below the poverty line.

RR,

Probably similar to being rich enough to have a state paid for truck....
