About Ards Yards
Ards Yards is one person. I started in 2019 with a mower, a trailer and about six yards around Alexandria, and 7 years later it’s roughly40 a week. That’s about as many as one person can cut properly, which is why the list grows slowly and why I’ll tell you if I’m full.
Nothing about how I work is complicated. I show up on the day I said, I cut at the height the grass actually wants for the season, I clean the walks before I leave, and if something in the yard needs attention I wasn’t hired for, I tell you instead of quietly adding it to the bill.
What that means in practice
- You don’t need to be home or remember to call. I show up on your day and get it done.
- A fixed day of the week, not a window. Your neighbours can tell you which one.
- Done right, not just done fast: edges trimmed, beds tidy, clippings off the walks.
- The same person every visit, so nobody has to be told about the gate twice.
- The person who quotes the job is the person who does it.
- An honest no when a job isn’t worth doing yet.
Licensed, insured, and local
I carry liability insurance and will send a certificate before starting, which matters if you’re a property manager or handling a rental. I’m based in Alexandria and I don’t subcontract the route out to anyone.

Most of these started as a neighbour asking.
Same truck, same day, every week. He is the one who quoted it and he is the one who shows up, which isn’t how the last two companies worked.
He told me the new bed should wait until fall so the shrubs would take, and every one of them did. That’s why he still cuts my yard.
I’ve never had to explain the gate or the dog twice. Small thing, but it’s why I stopped shopping around.
The fall cleanup is worth it on its own. My grass comes back in March ahead of everyone on the street.
He answers his own phone. I called at seven on a Tuesday and had a price by lunch.
