Very back responsiveness: It took weeks to just have him come over to give us an estimate and took weeks for them to come over to get the job done.

Kit came out to the house to review needed work and provided a timely estimate. Ketchmark wasn't the lowest estimate we had gotten, nor were they the highest. We were confident in the company's professionalism and reputation, so that played heavily into the decision to hire. The work was completed within two full days. The workers did a great job and cleaned up any stray dirt or mulch from the sidewalk, neighbors' driveways, etc. The yard is completely transformed and livable again.
Description of Work: We needed a complete post-construction backyard overhaul. Kit's team removed excess trees, branches and weeds (so many weeds) as well as cleared construction debris, leveled the ground, buried a drainage pipe, sodded, mulched and planted hedges around the yard's perimeter and a window well.

I had described the job I wanted to Kit Ketchmark. He sent a crew of 3 people with all their equipment. They timed it right to catch last of the year end period. They cleaned up the grounds all the way around my corner lot, mowed the lawn, trimmed the grass edges at the sidewalk. The place looked really neat when they were finished. I have known Kit for a long time. He is a man with integrity. His crews reflect his character and are very hard working and productive. You will not find a better firm to hire for your yard work.

We had a communication problem this year for the first time missed their mail to me/didn't get phone calls returned intitially, but got it straightened out before the first big snow. They show up and do a good job. Last year, I had a problem with them plowing over some of those driveway markers intended to keep them from upending flagstones marking the edge of the driveway.
Description of Work: Ketchmark has been plowing my driveways for years and used to do my mom's lawn care as well.

Called the Company, got an answering machine. Left a message with what we wanted done and gave them the number they could call. Never got a call back. Received a letter from them with the quote on Saturday. They apparently misunderstood what we wanted to have done - mentioned the two stumps that we wanted to have removed and then added " along with two adjacent pine bushes". What! The price they gave, obviously included things that we didn't want done. This could have been avoided, if someone would have had the courtesy to return our call, and any miscommunication would have been cleared up. And then to MAIL a quote! It was a very professional looking quote, I'll give them that. I figured it wasn't worth the effort to call to advise them that they had misquoted the job, based on the fact that they couldn't be bothered to call us to begin with. We went with someone who called us immediately, went to our house to look at the job, and then called us right then and there with a quote. Job has already been done.
Description of Work: We wanted to have two stumps and roots pulled from the front of our house.

These people are fair in their pricing and do a good job. I have used them for years. They cut my lawn weekly and clean my garage gutters a couple times a year. They are professional and the workers are polite.
Description of Work: I have a postage stamp size yard so the cost is misleading. I have used these people for years and they do a good job at reasonable rates. I am disappointed at times with their trimming but overall they are worth what they charge.

They worked quickly and efficiently, and were finished within a few hours. By the time they left, you couldn't even tell that they had been here, they had cleaned up after themselves so well! Kip, the owner, was very nice and willing to work with some changes that I wanted, even one on the day that they were here to do the work. I would definitely use Ketchmark again in the future.
Description of Work: They Installed some shrubs and mulch to hide some ugly pylons and installed sod as well.

Punctual and professional. Great job with aeration and blowing out leaves and debris from bushes and sides of our house. There were a few places where our lawn was "scalped".

WE decided to give Ketchmark a try after they provided some "good neighbor" assistance. My wife was working in the yard and had run into a large rock buried beneath the grass line. As she was trying to pull the rick from the ground, the Ketchmark guys stopped their truck and got out to help. Needless to say, they were a big help. But more impressive was that they were just being good neighbors. Soon thereafter we had them aerate the yard.
Description of Work: Ketchmark aerated our front and back yeards.

They do a great job. It's hard to speak to a person because they are always working but they do reply to messages and are prompt in their work. They really take care of the plants and the lawn. I compared prices against 2 other local places and they are fairly priced and I recommend their services.
Description of Work: We have been using their services for about 3 years now. The do Spring and Fall clean up for us, along with weeding and lawn care. Last year they also did mulch for us. We just signed up for weekly mowing as well.

I was extremely pleased with Kethmark's committment to seeing the job thorugh to a successful conclusion. They stand behind thier work. Kit and his men were very professional, and very dilligent in completing the work we agreed on. Kit also returned phone calls in a timely manner, and did the work, when he said he owuld, even though our jobs were relatively small. I have recommended Kethmark to friends of mine without reservation. I will use Kethmark for my future landscaping projects.
Description of Work: Ketchmark Landscaping did two projects for us recently. (1) We had a fungus in our front lawn in the parkway strip between the sidewalk and the street. Ketcmark took out the old dead lawn, dug out the old soil, put in new soil, and seeded it. The lawn initially came up well, but browned out in the heat of the summer. Kethmark came back and reseeded the lawn at no additional cost. We were pleased with their committment and professionalism. (2) The second project was to plant moss in a very shadey area in our back yard around flagstones in a walkway. Unfortunately the moss did not take, purely because there was not enough sun. We decided to shift to a pebble walkway, and Kethmark put in the pebbles, again at no additional cost. The walkway looks beautiful!

Ketchmark is a local company to where I live. They are a very good company and I would recommend them to others. Ketchmark does good work and they are reasonably priced. I can't comment on the exact price, as I don't remember what I paid for the services. They were very responsive, professional and they arrived on time.

They are really good. We pay about $25 per acre. It is about $200 for the 4 fertilizer treatments and the spring and fall cleanups. They don’t do any work in the winter. They come and do the work when they are supposed to do it. Recently, we had to have our sewer dug up. They came in and leveled the big mound and put grass which they are really good at. If we want something that is not scheduled, it is tricky getting a hold of them. It is not terrible but sometimes it is hard to get a call back from them. They come every Monday and by the time I come home it is done. They clean up. I will use them again in the spring, whenever it comes. In Chicago, it could be anywhere from 1 day to 6 months from now. They gave us the 10% Angie’s List discount.

Kit responded to my call for a quote. He came on time and responded the next day with a quote in the mail. We scheduled the job and he called when his workers were on the way. He also arrived to communicate with his foreman what was required for the job. The workers were excellent and did a great job. They cleaned up both days they were here. This is the second time I have used them and have recommended them to several friends. The first time I used them I had a brick patio put in. I had 3 quotes and they were a $1,000 cheaper then the other 2 companies. Excellent work for the price.
Description of Work: They removed the old sod and install new sod in my back yard. They built a retainer wall for gardening.

We still can't believe it only took them two days to do the work. Kit arrived at the beginning of the project, and his employees were very courteous. They worked two long days and did a wonderful job cleaning up after a messy job. There is no evidence of the truckloads of waste they hauled away, and were thrilled with the work.

Very professional. Kit Ketchmark even came by to drop off extra grass seed so that I could fill in some bare patches. Some of the plants are a little on the pathetic side, but Ketchmark offers a year guarantee, so I know they'll replace them if they don't make it through the winter.
