A friend of mine shared this photo with me as well as the story. He lives in the Chicago area and he decided that he only wanted his hedge trimmed twice a year to save on costs. When his landscape maintenance company came out, as you can imagine, the hedge was fairly overgrown. The worker trimmed the left side of the hedge adequately as you can see, however he only trimmed one half of the hedge as he thought the other side of the hedge might be on the neighbor's property. Well it was not, when my friend came home, he was trying to fi gure out why only one side of his hedge was trimmed, and then he fi gured it out. The landscape maintenance contractor did return a few days later and evened it out for him. Photo submitted by Tom Herron, Chicago.
