I needed a tree in the garden cutting back.
In prior years I had work done on other trees done by persons who had cold called and was usually left with a feeling that I had not got value for money - quoted prices varied significantly.
I logged a request and received a call that day. The team arrived next morning and carried out the work quickly and efficiently at a reasonable (?) price.

I was nervous talking to a business consultant and didn't know where to find one. Bark.com came up and I thought they only worked with business consultants. I requested a quote and didn't hear back but I did get a message from someone who I didn't request a quote from. He was very knowledgeable and we talked for quite a while. He gave me some general advice. I felt he was honest and caring and I very much enjoyed talking to him. I now need to put some money together and then I will be talking to him again.

Bark made the process of finding a strolling magician a breeze. A number of people responded. I was able to read about their style and see pictures.

Bark works well, but the incessant emails asking for reviews gets annoying, hence why im doing this to hopefully stop it. We did find an excellent cleaner and we are very pleased. However, there was one guy that thought he should get the job because he paid to be able to respond to my advert. Was very pushy indeed.
