Shawn was very helpful answering my questions about some pavers we had installed by another contractor that needed sealing. He explained the method that AAA used to insure that all of the sand between the pavers would harden even more after they were sealed. We had some issues with the original contractor who had installed our pavers as the sand between the pavers did not harden up and had to be redone. Shawn did an excellent job and the sealing helps prevent stains and looks good.

The crew showed up at unpredictable times, usually when I wasn't there. So, if I wanted attention to certain things I would call or email the office, but the workers never seemed to have gotten the message. Also, I contacted them 2 or 3 times about doing major landscaping changes, but didn't get a response. I gave up and hired another service.

We used their service for several years. Started out great. After a while, the bi-monthly service became more of a mow and b*******. Our hedges started growing higher and wider. Weeds started growing in more places. Volunteer trees popping out in several areas (getting several feet high). I had to write an email to them to cut the hedges (which was part of our service) and they try to bill me an extra $400 because they had gotten so overgrown! Umm, when the hedges are part of the service and the workers weren't cutting them, yes they will be overgrown-but it was part of the service we were already paying for! *I had asked the owner, Shawn, to give me a quote on planting vining flowers on side yard. 6 months later, still no quote. I finally wrote about it again and he said he would order them and call me the following week. No call. I had to follow up. *My sprinkler was seeping water and I asked them to come take a look at the valve, which was the problem. My father-in law was there and told them not to replace the sprinkler-it was not the problem. They decided to replace the sprinkler and two other sprinkler heads and replace 1 leaking valve and clean the other two. We would have been fine with the fix (and extra unnecessary additions)-had it worked. However, they did not fully test their work and the next day our sprinklers went on at 4 am and never turned off!! So they were running from 4-8am!! When I realized they were on, I tried to manually turn off and they would not. I had to have the neighbor's gardener help me! Shawn sent the worker back out to finish the job. They then billed us for both days! ($300) However the problem was not even fixed. They never even checked in to see if the system was still seeping water. We had to call them out again to fix the issue. another $150- (Shawn said that he initially only replaced the top part of the valve to "save us money" and the entire valve would cost about $80 to install.) Well, his "save us money" route was billed at almost $500. Sorry, not right to bill your customers 3 times for a fix that should have taken one time to fix. If you can't fix the issue, you don't bill for each attempt to try. You communicate with your customer and you give options before trying experimental fixes. Feeling a little fleeced over here! Not going to pay for failed service and broken systems. I told them I will pay for the actual fix. *Once again, hedges need to be cut and Shawn promises they will be done. I emailed him for two months about the issue. They come on the promised date and leave after an hour with the hedges STILL NOT DONE. I call the office and the rude receptionist Nicole said they continue to work on them at our next services and they would bill us more if they send them back out to finish the job. Sorry, there won't be any more jobs for you guys. This was the final show of lack of integrity and follow through. Shawn is definitely not a man of his word.

Response from AAA Landscaping
Hi [Member Name Removed] After years of service, we are very sorry to have let you down. We were informed that you had an HOA regulation after more than a year of service. Had we known that this would be a regular service, then we would have gladly accommodated. Our first service topping the shrubs was an extra charge and there was no issue the first time that we serviced the shrubs. We were under the impression that you wanted to make this an annual service. Again, we apologize. Your service did go to much of a mow and blow do to you turning off the water to the grass completely and moving your service from weekly to bi-monthly. We had met with you and had given you multiple landscape enhancement quotes and even a landscape design. We wish that there was budget available for some of the work. We understand that there was a leak in one of your valves and we addressed the issue immediately. The repairs were made in the same way as your previous valve repairs. Unfortunately, in this case the repair was more than the typical replacement and needed to be completely removed. We have deducted 38% from the total bill, which removed the total amount of our revisit on the valve you called about. However, the repairs needed on the other valves were necessary and need to be paid. We are very sorry that the credit has not meet your expectations

Description of Work: I found Shawn Sousa to be very responsive. He contacted me immediately upon me inquiring about getting a quote. He was on time for our meeting and very thorough in his assessment of our needs. That being said, he was also understanding that we weren't looking to spend a lot of money since this property was a rental. We are eager to have service begin 2x a month for a reasonable cost.

Hi [Member Name Removed] We are sorry for not meeting your expectations. Our intentions are not to nickel and dime you. However, we maintain your rental property 4 times per week for only $112. Therefore, we must charge for extras. Unfortunately, the shrubs are more like trees. If they were not 25 feet tall, then we would gladly maintain them within the maintenance scope of work. Again, we are sorry that our pricing did not meet your budget and thank you for your review.

All salesmanship, no performance. This company is just trying to make quick money. They gave us a price for our 5 houses for a certain amount of work and level of service, then changed crews several times and each time they did less and less at each house leaving the yards looking messy and unkept. One employee told us that they were only allowed to spend 30 minutes at each house, no matter what needed to be done that day. There is no pride in workmanship, and no one checks or cares to make sure the crews are doing a good or even adequate job.

It went very well, they provided one person to do the job who was probably the most superior representative of a company I have ever experienced. Communication with the employee and company was superior. The initial bid was just what you would be looking for, it was mid range, so when you eliminate the two highs and the two lows it was right in the middle, which turned out to be well considering the overall service was excellent.

AAA Landscaping has been caring for the yards of my two rentals for several years. They do an excellent job. If there is ever something that I didn't feel was taken care of to my specifications, a call or email to the owner, Shawn,immediately takes care of the issue. I highly recommend the services of AAA Landscaping.

Although we ran into problems with the concrete not taking the sealer properly, Sean worked with us over a 3 week period to get it right. He brought out experts, contacted the manufacturer and worked with his crew to make it right. He always answered his phone and returned our phone calls. I would highly recommend this company.

In the past they also did a retaining wall and some trenching for electrical and irrigation. He also has done masonry and will do hardscaping for me in the future. He has been the best contractor I have used in my area. He shows up on time and has integrity. He also gives good pricing and is professional.
Description of Work: I use AAA Landscaping for general landscaping care. I pay $150 monthly for the landscaping.
