It was satisfactory. Service provider called and let know the deal is valid for limited work radius. Requested to cancel it, as it will charge more for travel.

Scheduled quickly and performed the seeding and aeration as scheduled and did an excellent job. Person that performed the service was friendly, polite and conscientious. Most certainly would contact this provider again if we need anything else. Providers like him is what I hope for-show up as scheduled and do a great job for a fair price.

When Ken arrived, the grass had grown too long to do the core aeration, so he mowed the entire lawn before continuing. It is too soon to tell how effective the reseeding was in an area that had been completely devoid of grass. I have been watering it. The jobs were done efficiently, and I can recommend Ken with enthusiasm.
Description of Work: The main task was to do a core aeration, but we added the application of lime, and grass seed.

Very well. Chuck had some very good ideas and suggestions. Very willing to tackle anything.
Description of Work: The original job was to clear out and trim a "shrub border" which had gotten quite overgrown. The two (2) workers were quite efficient and helpful. They got the job done in less than the two (2) contracted hours. Moved on to trimming a couple of holly trees and then we agreed that they should stay on a little longer and begin mulching the shrub border they had cleared.

I was very pleased with the service the workers were polite,efficient and most diligent in handling the job. We started out a little later than planned but they called and were at my place within 20 mins of the original scheduled time. It was worth the wait. I do recommend their services and I intend to continue to use them for all my yard and lawn services.

They kept me informed the whole way through the process. When it looked like the work would take longer I had the option of keeping them or telling them to finish at four hours. Everything went really well. quality was excellent.
Description of Work: I purchased a deal for four hours of fall landscaping and yard clean up. They trimmed a lot of shrubs around the house. They also dug up the roots of a big old rose bush. Lastly, they hauled away the debris.

The gentlemen removing the stumps from the bushes did a great job. He also trimmed another big bush in the front o my property. The other smaller bushes were trimmed and although I asked for some to be trimmed more, it was done without hesitation. For me it was worth the money for the time.
Description of Work: Removed 2 bush stumps in front of the house and trimmed all the bushes in the front and the back of the house. I removed my own debris.

There was an additional $50.00 charge for zip codes more than 20 miles from 19809. Our zip code (19709) was close to 20 miles or slightly out of that range. Ken communicated the situation and we both agreed to cancel the deal. Communications with Ken were very good.

That went very well. They came out a couple weeks after I purchased the deal. They ran a little late but they called me and said they were running late with a previous job and they showed up when they said they would. They put their prime in and I was satisfied with what they did. I just paid the price of the deal. I think they delivered on their commitments and their promises. They at least had the courtesy to let me know they would be late and I think they worked pretty hard and they did as much as they could within that 2 hour frame and I would probably have them out in the fall to finish the work and do some additional work.

I bought the 4 hour big deal - they went 20 minutes over, so I paid an additional ~$35. I had been told of this possibility in advance so it wasn't a surprise. They scheduled promptly, worked around my schedule, showed up as promised, and got an AMAZING amount done in the allotted time. They were pleasant, courteous, and I was extremely impressed!
Description of Work: I used the time to trim bushes all around the house which were out of control - they also cut down a few low-hanging branches of neighbors trees which were blocking light to my grass. I didn't want the trash removal, so they bagged everything and I took it in my own van to the compost site.

The garden had not been weeded for the past 2 months- from mid June to mid August- prime growing time!! Ken's Lawn and Property Service sent 2 men for 2 hours as we had agreed. They pulled 5 large trash bags filled with weeds!! After they finished weeding the large garden, they came to ask what I would like done for the remaining 25 minutes! They weeded, weed wacked and trimmed our front gardens and walkway in that time! I will call them again for lawn and garden assistance!

This was very unfortunate. [removed member name] purchased the Angies deal on Aug 6th and I left a note that same day. I asked for a phone number for contact and a general idea of services needed. I did not hear anything back until Sunday, August 11. At that time, [removed member name] said she needed services that week. Unfortunately, we were scheduled out for the upcoming week and she had to have the work done withing the next 5 days. We could have tried to squeeze it in somehow, but [removed member name] is nearly one hour away. There was no way we could schedule that or squeeze it in because of the distance. Also, [removed member name] originally thought we were going to call her originally, but I explained to her that we were not given her phone number by Angies and that is why I left mine in an Angies email with a note asking for her phone number. Unfortunately, she did not see the Angies email for 5 or 6 days. Anyways... I guess we both lost out.

I took advantage of the "Daily Deals" that are emailed to us for $169 for 4 man hours of work (2 men-2 hours). I was contacted quickly & described what I needed done (removal of a rather large pile or two of tree limbs that I had collected over 3 years). Ken's was very accommodating with the scheduling, allowing me to pick a Saturday. After a Google maps mishap (easily corrected), they arrived & immediately set to work. They accomplished more than I expected, and after an hour & a half were finished. They then proceeded to tell me that I had another 1/2 hour, & was there anything else that they could do! They cut a few more limbs down and removed them as well, and my property is finally beginning to look inhabitable...! VERY impressive and professional. A great experience all in all.

They arrived a little late but it was raining so I have to give them credit for that.Instead of 2 they came with 3 people. They did everything I asked but unfortunately I did not have enough work to fill up the entire 2 hours. Maybe if there were only 2 people it would have taken 2 hours. They made sure I was happy with the work, and cleaned everything up and you would have never known they were there. Great service and I would use them again.
Description of Work: I purchased 2 men for 2 hours to do fall clean up. They trimmed 2 large bushes back into spiral bushes. They also trimmed up 3 small azalea bushes

Thank you for the positive feedback. The 3 people were a luck of circumstance! Just happened before you we were doing a project that required more manpower and it ran over some in time. Issue in our business is that you can never be sure how long a project will take so I normally try to give time windows for arrival if you are second on the list for the day. Thanks again and we certainly hope you call us back!!
