This is my fifth summer with Jans and each year has gotten a little worse until this summer I've had it. They are supposed to mow every week, but so far, I've been lucky if it's been every other week. Currently, we're going into the third week without any mowing. When they do show up, they mow so fast the lawn is raggedly uneven. I walked one man around my yard explaining exactly where I wanted them to trim and weed eat. He took no notes, barely spoke, and they haven't gotten it right yet this summer. Most often, they don't trim at all. I think the original owner of Jans has hired out the work to some other company because Jans used to be responsive, friendly, and professional. Today, I would say that under no circumstances should you hire them. I'm looking now for someone to take their place next spring. Let me add - I am NOT fussy about my yard. Almost any attempt would meet with my approval. This outcome is not worth $45 a pop.
Description of Work: He was hired to mow and trim.

Drive looks great, and they've used safe ice-melt to keep the snow down when it continues to come down. They're always dependable, and seem cool if occasionally you decide to do the work yourself. I'd highly recommend them.
Description of Work: These guys do a great job. They're quick, tidy, efficient and they tend to sneak in early in the morning and get the work done before you even notice that it's snowed outside.

The quality of the mowing is bad. The guy moves over the yard so fast that it looks like the blades don't have a chance to do the cutting. After almost every mowing job, the lawn looked uneven with missed spots everywhere. I talked to the guy and I also called Wyatt to let him know I wasn't satisfied with the job but nothing came out it; the quality of later mowing jobs continued to be bad.
Description of Work: Lousy lawn mowing.

See the notes above explaining this.
Description of Work: Jans did my fall clean up. I have a large lot--about 2 acres--and a lot of trees and hence leaves. So their price of $300 is about right, if not really good. Overall they did a good job but Wyatt Jans, the owner, is slow to return phone calls. Also on 11/16 they showed up here about 2 hours after they said they'd be here. And they did not finish the job that day; they came back 11 days later and finished it, but charged me an extra $80 to do this, presumable because that time they used a powerful leaf blower that did an unusually thorough job. For that reason I did not protest the added charge. My total bill came to $380 (before tax) and $406 after tax. The workers were profession, polite, and friendly. Overall, I am satisfied and would hire them again.

I was not impressed with the quality of the work done. The boy moved over the yard so fast that it looked like the blades did not have a chance to do the cutting. During the time he mowed branches from two different trees were broken off and they were just left laying in the yard.
Description of Work: I had them mow my yard when I was having back problems.

They are okay. There were a few dead spots around the lawn, but they receded those. They're a local company, and they're pretty responsive.
Description of Work: They do fertilization and weed killing.

They were very nice but the estimate was higher than I wanted. They were very professional and I will have them bid again in the future.

We had a 3-tiered retaining wall built and pavers installed along the entire (sloping)west side of our home, mainly for soil control and aesthetic reasons. Wyatt Jans was very responsive and engaged in all steps of the project. His was very prompt with replies to email, inquiries, estimates, etc. Him and his staff worked long hours through the weekend, were all pleasant and conscientious. Wyatt was present the entire weekend supervising his staff. Their attention to details are quite impressive resulting to a finished work that's very satisfactory. Our neighbor had a similar project done and were just as pleased as we were with Jans Lawn Care Service. We will definitely contact them for other services from now on and definitely recommend them.
Description of Work: Building of a 3-tiered retaining wall and installation of pavers along the entire west side of the property. In addition, Jans Lawn Care brought in dirt/soil to fill the retaining walls and cultivated the soil for gardening inside the paved area.

Jan's Lawn Care was very prompt in getting the work done. I was actually surprised to see them so quickly after setting up the service. The lawn treatment and reseeding has had noticeable results in our yard. The grass is thicker, and growing much better. They were also very quick to complete the rain gutters (finished it in one evening). I've been very happy with the service provided, and would not hesitate to hire Jan's Lawn Care again for future yard work.
Description of Work: We have recently used Jan's Lawn Care for two different projects. The first was some general lawn maintenance. We have a newer home with sod that never really took. We hired Jan's Lawn Care to power rake, reseed, and do normal fertilization during the summer. The second project was to bury our rain gutters and extend them away from our house.

Contacted Wyatt Jans by phone to have my lawn mowed. He was able to get it done quickly on short notice. The bill arrived with the amount agreed upon via phone. I like this business for their reliable and quick service. I will use them again and would recommend them to a friend.
