This was one of those times that definitely illustrates the "cheaper is not necessarily better" notion. We got a written estimate from these guys to clear the back corner of our yard, and then for the rest of the time, heard little other than how much they had underestimated their cost. (I really don't see how that was my fault -- they came out and looked at the area...there were no surprises.) What was *supposed* to be a day-long ("two day max") job took over 3 weeks from start to finish. Promises to show up were broken without so much as a phone call, and excuses from broken equipment to scheduling conflicts were not flying. We were in the process of having a fence put up, too, and coordinated the two projects; unfortunately, the work on the fence was significantly delayed, as they couldn't complete the fence until the lawn guys were done with their work and were no longer bringing the big equipment in and out of the yard. It was all pretty much a nightmare. I mentioned our frustration to my aunt (who also lives in Old Saybrook), and she chuckled, noting that she had tried to get them to follow up on their promises to clear a lot for HER, but they had never shown up or returned any of HER calls, either. The written estimate we had gotten was for $350. Recognizing the amount of work it was, and regardless of screw-ups along the way, we realized we had gotten a "deal," we gave them $500 -- with their promise that they'd return "in a few days" to pull out some of the bigger roots that were left sticking up, making it impossible for us to safely mow over the area. Needless to say -- they never showed up, and we never heard another word. If you're looking for someone to mow your yard on a regular basis, I imagine they'd be fine (after all, they ditched us on MANY occasions to do their "regular mowing clients.") But if you have a big project, and if heaven-forbid it's a time sensitive one? Keep looking.

Perfect mowing job. Neat and clean. The consult for the landscaping started as a question and they spent the better part of the morning discussing options. Bill was patient and insightful. I got a call from Lawntigers later that day and we talk more about the landscaping. They had already acquired some of the plants and shrubs need for the job gratis. They have placed those plants in the proposed places around the lot to give us a better idea of just how things would look when the work is completed. Nice visuals like this make the decisions fun. I would recommend anyone with the need for a make landscaping makeover contact Bill or John for a consult. They make it fun.
