Have you seen Claudia's yard lately?
Pretty nice, huh?

Yard Services

This is our employee, Rafael. Coming from Portegolpe, he's been working for some of us off and on for some time and has proven himself to be trustworthy and hardworking. His positive and jovial demeanor makes him a pleasure to have around. He has a can- do attitude and doesn't waste time.

Rafael is a skilled gardener and landscaper but, like many old- school Gunacastecos, can do just about anything.

The Association hopes to put Rafael to work full time by hiring him out to local residents. We do this as a service but also as a way of raising revenue for the association.

 

We're looking for clients who want Rafael's services, preferably on a regular, scheduled basis. We promote him primarily as a yard and garden guy, but other tasks are possible. You might need him for:
  • General yard maintenance
  • Lawn mowing
  • Putting up/ repairing fences
  • Cleaning lots
  • Cleaning up stuff your maid can't handle

Part of our service includes one of us coming along to get him started and make sure he understands what to do, and will continue to be available to deal with any problems that might arise.

We charge 1500 colones per hour for his services, of which c500 go to the association. He gets c900 and c100 go to his social security (it's all legal and on the up and up.)

Lawn mowing requires a little extra for gas and maintenance.

C1500 may seem a bit steep for a laborer, but consider two points:

  • By getting these services through us you are supporting the Association and, therefore, the community.
  • Rafael gets stuff done. I'll put him up against two of your average c800/hour guys any day.

So, if you want Rafael to come work wonders at you place, call Claudia at 654-5276 or 377-5701, or drop us a line at:
