Out here in Houston, I was mulching a backyard for this lady who kept micromanaging every damn scoop, and she nearly got herself hurt when she stepped right into the chipper path yelling about $2500 worth of cedar not being spread right. Man, I had to yell to pull her back just in time, heart pounding like crazy. Clients like that make me wanna stick to commercial only, but damn, $2500 jobs don't grow on trees.

been there bro, had a similar thing with a flower bed install where the guy almost tripped into the auger over some bullshit about the $800 quote being too high. sucks when they don't listen.

don't ever work without a clear safety zone marked, had a buddy lose a toe to a distracted homeowner on a tree trim job. set boundaries upfront or walk away.
