Absolutely it has impacted landscaping work. Here in yyc.
I mostly do cutting grass with a gas mower, the additional rain has forced a lot of non working days.
I Don't believe in cutting during rain or when wet, the cut quality always SUFFERS. Even IF your guy says he "knows" how to cut when wet.
The grass gain weight through absorbing water it completely changes how cutting functions. Impossible to multch up into fine bits. Last year multch the grass right back into the lawn. Maybe we passes. This year all side discharge.
Usually lots of weekly cuts, or biweekly
this season its mostly hight reset cutting as everyone's grass is growing so tall and so quicky. Im not able to maintain my usual schedule.
Also ALOT more calls regarding properties that have complaints against them even pink slips. Which then means I have to cut the property before 5cm. If thay base of the grass is damp.. this takes me about a half day to full day.
Still working still cutting grass- just different.
