The Email I Almost Sent to a Landscaper (But Didn’t)
Opening: "I drafted a message titled ‘Help, My Yard Is Trying to Kill Me’… then deleted it out of embarrassment."
The Problem: Between the swampy corner, the dead patch by the driveway, and the mystery vine that might be poison ivy (jury’s out), my yard feels like a horror movie set.
The Discovery: I peeked at Fiorello’s Contact page (link) and felt weirdly reassured. They had a simple form—no judgment, just “tell us what’s up.” No need for my dramatic first draft.
Takeaways:
Pros have probably seen worse than my weed apocalypse.
Maybe lead with “Hi” instead of “SOS.”
It’s okay to admit defeat (and hire someone with a shovel).
Closing: "Update: I sent a polite email. Progress."
