Hi and thanks for posting a review. usually when I tell someone they are outside our service area, they give us an "F", like it is our fault. I am glad you got someone else closer to you and thank you for being reasonable in your evaluation. Thanks again, KEN

Was very easy to schedule, spoke to Ken over Angie's List and he worked out a time for his guys to come out. They did a great job, took care of the lawn cutting and some weed whacking. Will definitely use them again, probably for a larger job like leaf removal or a bit of landscaping next time.

Well worth the money. Property looks a lot better.
Description of Work: I bought the special (4 hours of landscaping for $189). After a little hiccup at the meeting time (I was 10 minutes late and the guys left without calling - the reason for the 'b' in professionalism), they got started an hour late on a very overgrown rental property and put in 4 hours of solid work. 2 guys worded from 9:30-11:30 and I paid for an additional 2 hours at the same rate.

Hi and thank you for your positive feedback and taking the time to post a review on Angies List. It still makes no sense to me that while you were a bit late, our guys didn't call you or me and just went on to a commecial job. O Well...a learning experience, I guess, but not too smart. Regardless, I am glad the job got done to your satisfaction, despite the timing screw up.Hopefully, you will call on us again. Thanks, KEN

It was good- the owner called me almost within the hour of purchase. The men came on time, were polite and knowledgeable and removed a holly bush I didn't want. I checked in about half way through and was astonished with their progress- it would've taken me all day since I'm not good at using the weed whacker.
Description of Work: 4 total hours of landscaping (2 men for two hours). They cleared two areas of brush and removed a holly bush that I didn't want to deal with. They took out all the weeds and left all the plants I wanted.

They were going to add on several other services making the cost well over $300-$400. We had used them in the past and we were hoping to get a better deal. I have since cancelled the Big Deal and asked for a refund.

Hi and sorry you were disappointed with the price...Your lot is a bit over 1/2 acre (according to zillow records). I believe if you got other quotes you would find ours to be very competitive given the lot size and added services you asked about. Nonetheless, we appreciate the reasonable write-up vs your own expectation. We have done over 200 of these with favorable comments on quality and pricing as well. KEN

.The two man crew showed up on time, even a little early, and were very polite, patient to listen and ready to work. I walked around the house and pointed out everything that I wanted done, item by item and gave them my priorities so that if the time on the coupon ran out, what was most important to me would be done. They listened and did a great job. Ken was a pleasure to work with and was very communicative about scheduling. I would definitely use Ken's Lawn Service again when needed and recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: We used an Angie's List coupon for this service. We wanted to have some dead shrubs removed, a weed that had become a small tree removed and all of our evergreen shrubs trimmed back for the winter. We also had some planting.

Two guys came to do the work, but one of them sat in the truck and talked on the phone for a long time, which I mentioned to the other worker. The actual work was very good, and they completed what I wanted done. I just did not appreciate the employee on extended phone calls when I was paying for service.

Thanks for posting a review on Angies list. I appreciate the feedback. I am surprised about the phone issue. It appears that we did finish all your work and there were no extra time charges. If there were, I would have refunded a portion if you had told me. Otherwise, it appears that you liked the quality. This "talking on the phone" is the first one of these complaints I have had this year. KEN

I use Ken's for regular mowing and maintenance service at my house. Had some additional non-routine work that I wanted done including some minor tree pruning. Called in to schedule the work and Ken's father (who takes care of the administrative office) recommended I buy the "4 hours of landscape services Special Deal" on Angie's List as it would cost less than they're regular hourly rate. I went ahead and did the special deal, and had enough time in the four hours to have them do a few extra things I wasn't originally planning on. Have been happy with Ken's services and appreciated the recommendation to the special deal to save me some money. They didn't have to do that, I never would have known the difference had they just done the regular hourly rate and charged me more. Doing so was especially great customer service on their part in my opinion.

The Angies ad said properties up to one acre. Why would you give us an F when we clearly stated that in the ad? Our reason for that is because we use walk behind aerators.They do a better job but they are very difficult to manage and large properties are hard on our operators.You need someone with riding aerators which are less taxing on the operator. You were extremely unfair in your rating when you apparently didn't read our deal.

Ken answered my request for service promptly. set up date and verified the services requested. Ken was both professional and personal. called two days prior to original appointment due to change in weather and wanted to come a day early. for me it was not a problem and i appreciated the call. Service was between 9am and 1pm. workers arrived around 10am verified the service request prior to conducting the work. completed the work promptly and with no issues. I would have them again and recommend them to all.

Total time working 1.5 hours. I paid for 4 hours at $189. Paul and Dave were right on time. They were hard working and did everything I asked. I didn't contract for them to take away the debris but appreciated their putting it in the truck and taking it away. I noticed both men with their heads in the truck in my driveway on two separate occasions. When I walked toward the truck I saw them both smoking, a total of two breaks. I didn't mind but agree with another reviewer who said it would be polite for them to have asked permission to smoke on the premises. Ken is the business owner, whose response to that other review was that legally he cannot stop his workers from taking smoke breaks. That may be Ken but you do have a responsibility for your team. A day after this service I reviewed the promotion and realized I made a miscalculation as the amount of work I asked them to do only took them 1.5 hours and I contracted for 4 hours. I called Ken to see if a reimbursement could be made for the additional time. Ken's GPS tracked his two men at 1.5 hours each which comes out to 3 hours worth of work. He also brought it to my attention his workers took away the debris which they didn't need to do. This I agree with since I hadn't contracted for that service but since the men loaded the debris into the truck without asking I appreciated the effort. My fault...I didn't remember I paid for and should have set aside 4 hours worth of work before the men came out. I do have to note I appreciated the work Dave and Paul did. Since Springfield, Delaware County was too far for them to come out for 30 minutes Ken's solution was to credit me 30 minutes of work if I contract for more time. Ken can keep 30 minutes worth of work at $23.63. I'll deal with those other landscapers in this area and Ken's Lawn and Property Service Inc., is on my list of naughty providers.

Response from Ken's Lawn & Property Service Inc
Hi again. You are a very nice lady and I am sorry it worked out this way. There is no excuse for the smoke breaks. I despise that but, as you noted, the quality of the work is good. As to the hours, there were 4 hours of labor. That equated to two men for two hours. I know they finished early 0.5 hrs early, which would be about $45. I assume you realize that I am, in essence, sub contracted from Angies List. You paid them. A refund for less hours should come from them, not me. If they agree to reimburse you for less hours that is fine by me and they would then deduct my portion, which is also OK. I would also hope you take into consideration that another contractor might have taken longer to do your work. Your note implies that you expected this project to take longer than it did. I always try and tell customers to fill the entire time up, even if it means stuffing debris into a bag for local trash pick up. If that was your intention with debris, that would have added more time; we always charge for debris removal and I waived that because of the less time. Also, I did offer to add 1/2 hour to any future project and that offer still stands. You didn't ask for the debris to be removed, but I do hope it made it a bit simpler for you. KEN
