Our Proposed Schedule

Here at Duck Landscaping, we strive to do the best job we can. When we are given a job, we work until the job is done right. For the Augusta, Oregon job we would work on Sunday and Wednesday night. The team would start at 7:00 PM on Sundays and Wednesdays. We would finish at 4:00 AM of Mondays and Thursdays. At midnight of both nights, we would take our hour lunch break. We have determined that these are the times during the week where there is less traffic on the road. During those nights, we work a full eight hour shifts. Half of the job will be completed each night. If there is something that we did not finish or needs redone, just give us a call on Saturdays. We will be more than happy to look into it. We do not make mistakes, but we give ourselves Saturdays in case we do make a mistake or need more time.

Equipment We Use

The equipment we use to do our job is state of the art. The mower we use is the John Deere ZTrak mower. We have chosen to use this mower because of its zero turn radius. This helps us get as close to building and trees. The weed eater we use is the Stihl FS 70 RC-E. We chose this weed eater because of its starting technology. It can start up with one pull of the pull string. When we trim the hedges, we use the Echo HC-150. We chose this hedge trimmer because of its double-reciprocating blades.
