They are all very polite, efficient, and reliable in closing the gates. I couldn't ask for anybody better and their prices are very reasonable. I especially love the fact that I don't have to worry about them taking care of my property and being responsible. I even recommended them for my neighbor next door and I will continue to use them.
Description of Work: I have been hiring them for about 12 years to do lawn maintenance including mowing, spring cleaning, landscaping, tree trimming, snow removal, etc.

Fransico, the owner, was very nice and had a lot of information. However, the prices were too high. His products are NOT pet safe. He insults other companies work and said that they do things wrong and he does it right, which is good, but having such an attitude like that, to sell up his work and to insult others just left red flags for me. I'm sure other companies do things right, and I know this because I have used other companies in the past. Don't insult others to make yourself sound better than everyone else. I'm sure you do a great job, but no thank you.

I met with Francisco who appeared to be an exceptionally nice individual but I was unable to hire the company because they were unable to provide me with any type 'written estimate' with details of the services to be provided. Although the company was willing to informally 'text me' with a price of $2400 for the decorative stone job, I am not willing to hire a company (and subsequently write them a check) based solely on a vague and brief 'text message'.
Description of Work: I contacted this company in mid May 2017 for two separate jobs - replacing all the existing mulch on my property with decorative stone and performing some extensive repair work on my two-car brick-paved driveway and the walkway leading to my front door.

I used them for lawn mowing since last year. They do an ok job but I would not recommend them if you have any brickwork. The workers repeatedly drove their heavy machinery on my brick walkway even after I asked the owner multiple times for them to stop doing that. I finally decided to just look for another company that will respect my property.

Better Green showed up at the same time, on the same day every week throughout the summer and did a very good job. The service was timely and reliable. Price was at the high end of the market, but it was what many other providers were charging so I believe it was fair. The only problem came at the end of the season when without notice and certainly without my permission, they began charging an additional $25/wk for "leaf removal". Since billing is performed monthly, they tried billing me an additional $75 before I was even aware of it. I paid the invoice, short the additional charges, noting that I refuse to pay for charges that I was not notified of prior to incurring them. I had used two other services over the years prior to Better Green and neither ever charged for "leaf removal". Whatever leaves are on the ground are automatically collected as part of the mowing service so charging a separate fee for this is ridiculous. Maybe it results in a little extra clippings to be removed. If they would have asked for $5 I probably wouldn't have argued over it. But $25 is highway robbery. And this is certainly not a customary charge in the industry. I'll be finding a new service for 2016.
Description of Work: Performed weekly lawn mowing service throughout the summer of 2015.

This business RIPPED ME OFF ! When I first hired them they came out and did an OK job, nothing special. But when the leaves started to fall, He was adding an additional $20.00 each time they came to cut the lawn. I was not aware of the added charge until I got the invoice and saw that he RIPPED ME OFF for this UNAUTHORIZED CHARGE ! We never discussed him charging me extra because he had to cut the grass anyway, the leaves would have either been ground up or put in the grass catcher. He never called me and told me that he wanted to charge me for a service I felt I did not need. I called and talked to Francisco the owner, and asked him why he was OVER CHARGING ME. He told me that the leaves needed to be picked up. I told him that that was MY decision and that he did it without my consent. I told him that I should not have to pay him for unauthorized work. He said that he should get paid because he did the work. Because I am a professional, I paid his RIP OFF CHARGES. I would only hope that he is a professional and refunds the unauthorized charges. The refund should be $60.00 Buyer beware if you intend to use this business. If you deal with this guy I suggest that you get everything in writing first !

The owner and three of his workers showed up to do the work. They were here for about 3 hours and did wonderful work! I am thoroughly impressed with the work that they did and will be using them from here on out! I would give them a triple A if I could!
Description of Work: They cleared away very tall weeds along the fence line, cut down weeds growing between the concrete and sprayed weed killer, trimmed my willow tree, weeded the hedge beds and trimmed the hedge, cleared out overgrown plants and weeds and rearranged rocks and stones as well.

.I was a little hesitant when my husband hired a lawn service. I like my grass a certain height, my bushes cut my way, etc.I called them the night before and asked them to trim my bushes also. He was friendly, polite and able to fit me in when it rained on my scheduled day. I got home today and couldn't believe how good my yard looked. My bushes looked awesome. The grass was cut and still green, not the awful yellow that happens when it's cut to short The edging was perfect. I was so happy my husband hired the right service.

They’ve been with me all year and I don’t have any problems with them. They’re very good and I’m very happy with them. They are here on time every Saturday and I’m quite pleased. Their price is comparable for what they do. Their quality is good and I have no problems. They don’t do snow and so I have to find someone to do the snow.
