Description of Work: Basic spring clean-up of flower beds, lay down mulch and edge yard. | |Originally scheduled date of service was cancelled by them last min, they picked up extra work and didn't keep to original date. Once they showed up next day, it was only dad and son, with dad unable to do much... And showed up without all of the equipment we had previously discussed. Son stayed and worked while dad ran back to the bluffs to get a mower and edger. Son did quality work, but was clearly handicapped by his dad's lack of organization/abilities. | |If it wasn't for the lack of organization, we would use them again.

Description of Work: I bought the Angie's List deal and they have yet to show up. It took three reschedules just to get him out to scope the job. Then he kept promising they would be out "this week" to do the work. Finally he had asked twice if we agreed he would bring the mulch. Which we did agree to when he scoped the work and he wrote down. Now I have to find another provider to come out.

Description of Work: They did nothing. We got an estimate, hired them, waited for them, and waited, and waited, and waited. They were supposed to fertilize and mow. Regular phone contacts assured us they would be coming, but time passed and they never showed up. We fired them and hired someone else.
