The crew that came out to do the clean up on my front yard was very polite and did a good job . They mentioned that they would like to bring a 4-man crew out for 2 hours to remove the ice plant and then we could do the remaining clean up during the regular maintenance visits. After the initial visit, I called back to request a quote for the ice plant removal and sod replacement (I didn't want it done in a piecemeal fashion). I spoke with Laura, who was very pleasant on the phone. She sent out their irrigation specialist that same day to do an assessment of our irrigation system to make sure it adequately covered the area where we wanted to put the sod and said that he would also assess the level of effort for the job and they would provide us with a quote. I received a call that same evening to inform me that I'd been charged for the irrigation specialist's visit, which was fine. But the following week, I received a call from someone else in the office asking when I wanted to schedule the four-man crew to come out. I replied that I'd spoken to Laura and was waiting for a quote for the ice plant/sod project and after that call, I never heard back from them regarding the quote or the results of the irrigation assessment that I paid for. I was pretty disappointed because I was looking forward to working with them and getting my yard back in shape.
Description of Work: I called to request a clean up of my front and back yards. The person I spoke with on the phone said she would send a two-man crew for 2 hours and I mentioned on the initial phone call that it would take more time than that, but was fine starting with that and letting them take a look to figure out what else would need to be done. I also requested maintenance service after the clean up. Finally, I requested as a comprehensive project to have a large area of ice plant removed and replaced with sod.

Hi [Member Name Removed], I reviewed your account and you are right. Your quote for the extra work was never presented to you and fell through the cracks. I apologize for the inconvenience that this caused you. I hope that you were able to find someone to do the work. Thanks for the fair review. :)

The owner of the business called me to apologize, saying that they don't have an account with Angie's List and don't monitor the email account, so they only recently saw my request for information. He was very nice and I would certainly have asked for a bid if I were still in need of the service.

I have found the company to be very responsive and easy to work with. There's the regular, routine work that needs to happen every week and then there are special things that need to be addressed every now and then. The two guys who work on my property are always professional and willing to talk through ideas or work that I think might need to be done. The office staff follows up and it gets done. I always know what I am being charged. They also have various levels of service from someone completely handling the project (like flowers in the front of the house) to me picking out (and up) the flowers and them simply planting them. They are great to work with.

When Mueller Landscape declined to come to the house to give an estimate, I declined their service estimate of $400 per month to mow/trim the yard once a week.
Description of Work: They used Google Maps to evaluate my property and gave me an estimate of $400 per month to take care of my yard. I told them that was awful expensive for the actual size of my yard that had grass and I invited them to come out and actually look at the yard area. They declined.

Response from Mueller Landscape Inc
[Member name removed], It appears that there has been a misunderstanding. Our estimate of $400.00 per month was to take care of a property that measures approximately over 20,439 sq ft. We were quoting and suggesting to you a two man crew for one hour each week for a weekly service. If you simply needed a lawn mowed the quoted price would have been different. We do not have a problem meeting with a potential client prior to setting up service and I am surprised to hear that we declined to meet with you. I apologize for the misunderstanding and would be willing to have someone meet with you at your property to give you a definite quote for our basic mow and edge service on a weekly basis. For anyone reading this review, please understand that we did not provide any work for [Member name removed]. We only quoted his job based on his property measurements and what we thought his needs were going to be. -John

I had a garden service weekly for over 10 yrs, until his retirement. I have since hired and was impressed and shocked by how much they accomplished in just 2 visits of 2 hrs each. Our 2/3 acre has never looked been taken care of. The crew was the hardest working I have ever seen. More than satisfied, these guys are worth every penny. Thanks! With the convenience of ordering service online, quality of the work done, pleasant interaction with all, and reasonable prices, I will be a customer for life.
Description of Work: The 2 man crew attacked our neglected 2/3 acre with incredible energy and tackled many projects that our weekly service with another gardener had neglected for yrs. Our landscaping looks great and I am proud to show it off to friends.

They usually get here when they are supposed to. Now we have the same guy who comes, but for a while they had a big turn over, and so we had different people coming out, and we had to go out and re-explain every time. Now the guy comes out, and he knows what to do. They worked with us on the price, and they do good work.
Description of Work: We use Mueller Landscape Inc. They come out every two weeks to do yard work.

They did a great job on a property that REALLY needed a lot of work. There were weeds knee-high all over the place. There was trash mixed in with the debris and weeds. Trees needed work and everything needed pruning. There was a trash-out company that hauled away junk and there was some overlap between trashing the yard out and the landscaping itself! But Mueller was very cool to not say anything like and quot;this part here belongs to the trash guysand quot; or anything - they just worked and worked hard. I just referred another client to them today to tend to a diseased tree in the front yard in Clairemont. Regarding the job this referral is for, I think this was the total cost but can't remember because we had so much work to do and lots of invoices. But I do know they worked for two days and I think even came back one more time. There may have been one more small invoice but no matter what, the cost was REASONABLE and my seller was HAPPY! It's a family business and to me that still matters. I will hire Mueller Landscaping for any future listing projects where we need help with the yard or trees. Thank you, Mueller Family!
Description of Work: This company prepared a property for sale. I was the listing broker and the seller was on the East Coast. The seller trusted me to find vendors for all kinds of work prior to listing the home. Mueller was the landscaper I chose.

When scheduling the appoint with John I mentioned to him I work 10 mins from my home and wanted to meet his crew at my house to explain what I need done. He suggested one of his crew call me 10-15 mins. before they arrive so neither of us would have to wait. On the scheduled work day I received that call and met them at my home with no wait time. I was not surprised at this as I have used Mueller Landscaping in the past and they have never disappointed me. As previously stated, the only surprise this time was how much the workers accomplished in the allotted time. They have always met or gone beyond my expectations. Prior to using Mueller I had tried several landscaping businesses but none can compared to Mueller Landscaping. I recommended them to a co-worker who continues to use their service. You,too, will be impressed by their professionalism, courteousness, and workmanship. I still have more work to be done and guess who I will use? Yup, Mueller Landscaping.
Description of Work: My property is approximately .5 acres. I needed a get ready for spring yard clean-up. I explained to wonderful John Mueller I could only afford $300 at this time. When his friendly and courteous two-man crew arrived, on time, I presented them with a priority diagram of what I wanted done. I knew they had a time limit because of the $300 limit so I wanted to make sure they did Priority 1 which was most important to me and when that was complete to go on to Priority 2 and so on as time permitted. I knew they would not be able to complete all the work on the diagram but was pleasantly surprised when I arrived home from work to see more was done than I expected.

I hired this company at the beginning of May due to my need to have neck surgery. At that time, the planter beds were slightly overgrown with a moderate amount of weeds, jbut healthy. My lawn, however, was about five weeks overgrown. They did a good job with the lawn on their first visit but did not touch the planter beds. The planter beds were not attended to on their next visit two weeks later. When I spoke with Junior on their third visit, I requested they thin out and weed the planter beds. I watched as Junior's assistant poorly worked on one planter bed while he took a weedwacker to another planter. It was obvious at that time that neither one of them never anything about most plants. I have geraniums, lavender, rosemary and a few others, nothing that I would consider 'exotic' or rare. I spoke with Junior immediately after that, he said that he and his partner could only spend a limited amount of time on the property. When I asked how much time he said about 15 minutes per visit which was only every other week. Sixty dollars a month for only 30 minutes of work seems very excessive to me; my parents pay their lawn mowers $120/month and their lawn is 10X the size of mine and they come out every week. To Mueller's credit, when I called to cancel their services the woman I spoke with was very understanding and did say she was sorry things did not work out. My suggestion to this company would be 1) find workers who know how to work with plants more appropriately and 2) provide better services for the price.
Description of Work: Mow approximately 200 sq ft. front lawn and maintain trim/weed 3 small planter beds. This was done every 2 weeks for about 2 1/2 months.

Response from Mueller Landscape Inc
Thank you for your review. I sincerely apologize for the poor service you received during the 2 ½ months you had service with us. There was a mistake that we corrected after the second visit with regard to the amount of time they were to spend on the property. I called and left you a message on your voicemail on May 16th to talk about the “time budget” mistake on the route sheet and the fertilizer you requested from the crew. I never heard back from you, but I increased your time per visit. With regard to the weedeater being used on plants, we use Stihl combi units for our weedeater and hedge trimmer. They have interchangeable attachments. You can view the attachments here; hobuk.co.uk/acatalog/HL_KM_135.html. When we first started using these tools years ago, we would occasionally get the same reaction. It is essentially a hedgetrimmer attached to a weedeater shaft. It allows the crew to have a much farther reach without having to use a ladder and saves on back pain by eliminating the need to crouch down to shape lower shrubs. Your comments will make us a better Company. We strive for good communication and customer satisfaction. I reviewed your account after you cancelled in July and spoke with the crew that same day to review what we did right, what we did wrong, and what we could improve on. Thank you for your review. –John

Absolutely horrible! Talk about bait and switch. The wife was very nice on the phone, but when her husband called he was overly obnoxious and very customer unfriendly. He wanted to charge me for just and estimate, and essentially refused to do any yard work at my house. I don't see how they stay in business.

Response from Mueller Landscape Inc
Hello everyone, This is John and I would like to respond to this review made by [member name removed]. About a year ago we were contacted by a friend who had his own gardening route. This friend had been diagnosed with cancer and was in the hospital. He asked us if we would take over his gardening route while he was being treated and stated that he might need to quit his business. [member name removed] was one of his clients. We made contact with [member name removed]and explained to him what was going on with his current provider. We went over the pricing with him. My wife was the one who made the call. (Anyone who has ever dealt with my wife knows that she is one of the sweetest people you could ever meet and has exceptional customer service skills). She spent about 10 minutes with [member name removed] on the phone and politely put him on hold to speak with me. She told me that this fellow was not someone she wanted us to do business with. I picked up the phone and knew within a few minutes that she was correct. Now please understand that we have been in business since 1982. I can count on one hand the number of people I have refused to do business with during that time. Do we deserve an "F" rating, from [member name removed], based on a 10 to 15 minute phone conversation? We did not provide any services for him. We conducted ourselves in a very professional manner and politely declined his business which is something we have done less than 6 times in 30 years. At this writing, we have been providing services for over 30 years and we currently serve over 500 maintenance clients every month. You cannot get to this level with poor customer service. Business just does not work that way. I knew about this review a year ago. I hoped that people reading it would be able to read between the lines and see that it was unwarranted. However since we have not gained one job from Angieslist over the past year, I thought perhaps it would be best to give our side of the story. Thanks for taking the time to read my response. -John
