Description of Work: They were flexible and willing to mow on an every 2 week schedule unlike other services which required weekly contracts. Timely service but not good with trimming, edging or coverage on the mowing end. Pushed lots of gravel into the yard during plowing.

Description of Work: I used Just Lawns for 2 mowing seasons. The first year was satisfactory and they did a good job. In 2014 the service providers were rushed and careless. They mowed down a small lilac bush, damaged the peony on 2 different occasions. The staff in the office were responsive when I called and the peony was replaced.

Description of Work: We moved into a new neighborhood last summer and noticed that many of our neighbors used Just Lawns. We hired them to do weekly mowing services. While we were very impressed with the quality of the work, the pricing was just ridiculous. They charged us considerably more than existing customers in the neighborhood with similar lots, insisted that the price was high because sit-on-top lawn tractors wouldn't work due to lawn contours (our lawn is just about as close to flat as you can get), and nickel and dimed up on so many additional charges that we gave up. On top of their already high weekly mowing fee, we were charged a "fuel surcharge" fee, ridiculous fees for bag removal ($5/bag!!), etc. We really wanted to like then because they did do a great job with our lawn, but the pricing was just too high. We found a different company this year (through Anglie's List) who provided a quote almost 20% lower than Just Lawns. We will try them for a season and post a review this Fall. Bottom line: Great quality, but at a cost.

They did a really good job.
Description of Work: Just Lawns did lawn mowing and bagging. There was a dumpster on site and then they would put the bags in the dumpster once each week.

Description of Work: Bad service, rude employees! I have used this company off and on for lawn service and plowing. The lawn gets done in decent fashion, but the employees are rude and complain to me. I told the owner we have a dog yard and I told them when our scooper service comes and he said it didn't matter that it would be done whether the yard was cleaned or not. However, the employees then complained to me that the yard wasn't clean. I guess I can't blame them, but I did try to schedule it for the day after the yard had been cleaned. Another time one of the workers called me "hey Babe" while sitting on their truck in the middle of the cul-de sac. Lastly, I asked them to plow our driveway, admittedly it was a mess. My husband and I were gone when they came and on our return the driveway was a mess, we could barely get in the driveway, at least before they came we could get into the driveway. When I called to complain the lady who answered told me the plow guys said our driveway (a very short one) had been poorly maintained and so the results was they couldn't do the job well. The crew was sent out again and with little improvement. I finally paying another gentleman to do the job for another $50 and he had the driveway cleaned up and driveable in less than ten minutes! Enough chances! F is the grade!

I came home from work and saw that the cleanup had been done. It wasn't really done well, but at least it was done. There were burn spots where they had cut the lawn too close. I was willing to overlook that as a minor problem that would not matter after a few weeks of grass growth. I checked to see if lime had been applied. I'm familiar with both types of lime. I looked all over, and there was no lime. I called the company. The owner, Joe, called me back once he had come by during the day to check for himself. He said he had and quot;put good money after bad,and quot; coming out to check on his crew and that he would schedule his guys to come back and finish the job. I waited a few weeks for services to be completed. Nothing. Finally I called again, and they said they were busy but would get out to do the service soon. It just never happened. I submitted a dispute with my credit card company. Joe (or maybe his admin assistant?) *lied* to my credit card company, and faked an invoice so that I could not even get a refund. Of course there was no way to prove that they had performed or not performed the service, since grass grows and lime gets absorbed into the soil. I've only ever disputed a credit card charge twice in my life, and I wouldn't go to that trouble if it weren't a legitimate complaint. Never, ever, will I use or recommend Just Lawns.
Description of Work: I signed up for the Spring Cleanup and asked for additional lime to be applied. On good faith, I pre-authorized the charges to my credit card.

I used Just Lawns for a spring clean-up for my yard. They did a great job, arrived when scheduled and completed the work agreed upon. Based on this work I called the company and requested an estimate for cleaning all the windows in my house. The receptionist stated they would send a team to look at the house and give me a call with the estimate. I never heard back from them. When I got the bill for the spring clean up it had a place where additional services could be requested I checked the window cleaning box and added “Estimate” next to it. Several weeks later I get a notice that the window cleaning will be $4 per pane. I called the company again and asked the receptionist if the $4 per pane included both sides of a storm window or if it was for each side of the window and what size windows are they talking about. She stated she didn’t know and would have someone contact me. No one ever called back. Needless to say I gave up and decided I would do the windows myself before fall hit and after all the construction around my house was completed. Next thing I know I get a bill on 8/8/12 for supposed window washing service that occued on 7/3/12 in the amount of $73.50. $70 for the windows (I assume to be 17.5 windows @ $4/pane). Surprised by this bill I walked all around my house looking at each and every window and could not find any that appeared to have been washed. All looked as dirty as before. I could even run my finger down the panes and remove the dirt. I promptly called the company and advised the receptionist that I received a bill for services that were not authorized nor were they performed. She stated that there must be some kind of accounting error as she has fielded several other calls that morning with the same complaint. She advised that she would forward my information on to her manager when she came in. Several hours later I receive a call from a gentleman, no introduction, asking where I was located. At first I thought it was a prank call since the gentleman would not identify himself. I simple do not give out my address to anyone asking. He then asked if I was located at and “XXX Street” I said no. Then on a hunch I asked if he was from Just Lawns and he stated yes and he needed to know where my house was so he could come by and see what the problem was. I then gave him my address. When he arrived he promptly stated that he and his partner indeed washed my windows. I asked for him to show me which ones and he pointed to a few (definately no 17.5 windows). Asked why they didn’t do all the windows, which was what I wanted, he stated they would have had to move things to get to them. This was not totally true as others he did not point to had clear access. I informed that if I had authorized the work and if I had known they were coming I would have been home and the areas around each window would have been clear for easy access. I inspected the windows he claimed to have cleaned and stated they didn’t look clean to me to which he stated “well it’s been a few weeks they a little dusty now”. I stated if they indeed cleaned the windows it was a very poor job, one which I did not authorize and for which I will not pay. He proceeded to call his office, again did not identify himself to which the other person on the other end had to ask who he was. He informed the office person, I assume to be the manager, that he did clean my windows to which I added if he did it was not authorized and was a poor job if he indeed cleaned them. He talked a minute or so more with the office than stated, it doesn’t matter, you will not be charged and left. Thinking everything was settled I let it go until today (9/6/12) when I once again received another bill from Just Lawns for the same supposed window cleaning. I guess I have to start the whole conversation all over again. BEWARE: I read about this same complaint, being billed for services not authorized before opting for the spring clean-up. But since they did a good job on the spring clean up I thought I would get the same professional work from the window washing service. I was wrong.
Description of Work: The supposed work performed was window cleaning which was not authorized.

They also offer mowing services. They did a great job on my lawn. They come when scheduled. They have their own equipment. I have been using them for a year. I purchased a package with them.

Description of Work: I requested a spring cleaning. They did not give a specific schedule (time,date). I could not tell, even after they had apparently completed, that they did anything. They did not perform a spring clean up as I requested. They would not go into my back yard to mow and trim (said there was dog mess, which was not true). I had to take pictures and email the company to prove the lack of professional work done by their crew. They then after about 4 weeks sent me a bill for weekly lawn service. I was shocked as I never ordered this and was unaware of any weekly service being completed (couldn't tell). They did end up agreeing not to make me pay for the weekly lawn service, since I never requested it! Because they messed up the order from the beginning it would have been good customer service if they would have waived any cost at all. They were recommended by a friend and unfortunately i was sorely disappointed and somewhat irratated at the poor customer service.

Several weeks into the service, Just Lawns mowed down an entire perennial bed. When we contacted the company to discuss the problem, they initially didn't return calls, then scheduled a time to come out and review the damage, then cancelled that appointment. The owner indicated that we would not be charged for that service, but we continued to receive a monthly bill for it for almost a year. Receipt of a bill would prompt another call to the company to address the damage, and we never received any follow up to the messages we left with the company's receptionist. We finally got the bill to stop coming by filing a formal BBB complaint.
Description of Work: Regular lawn cutting, including mowing and trimming edges.

They did a great job. Very fast and professional. But, it can take them several days from the time you call to when they come mow, I think because of how they map out their routes.
