Response from Monaco Mowing Co.
We never received any voice mail from this member, and feel that this report is a mistake. We do not provide this service at all to anyone, and have no idea why someone would call a mowing service for this. We are strictly a mowing company and have made no indication otherwise on this or any other site or publication. We wish that this feedback site would be more diligent in verifying this sort of thing and providing better information to its members instead of this inaccurate and damaging claim. This reflects badly on all three parties involved in this error, and is a perfect example of gross incompetence on their part.

I prefer the flexibility of contacting them when I think my lawn looks shaggy, although I'm sure they would do it on a schedule if I wanted. Chris is extremely responsive - I drop him an email whenever I want service and he responds in email within a business day, is very courteous and friendly, and has always had the work completed in the time frame requested. (I'm not in a hurry - within a week is fine with me; I haven't asked for tighter scheduling.) The yard looks very tidy when they are done. If I ask to trim a little shorter or longer next time, they oblige to my complete satisfaction. I receive a bill in the mail each month, which is convenient.

Monaco's service was only"decent" to begin with, although as THE CUSTOMER we had to point out mistakes and oversights in the care of our well manacured lawn almost every week. The initial trimming did NOT include trimming the driveway or small walks. We were told that would be an additional "initial" and weekly charge. It had to be done, so we agreed to that service. Monaco uses a zero turning mower, which as evident by the ruts and terrible damage to our yard ... they (he - Christopher) does not understand how to operate. In late June, he totally destroyed our yard! He corresponded to us via email in a totally unprofessional manner and would not admit or even investigate his neglect of our yard. He included this quote by Enzo Ferarri in his email ... "The customer is NOT always right"! ~~~ totally unprofessional in my opinion! Would you want to conduct business with a company that operates by that philosphy? I will not and suggest you look elsewhere for your lawn maintenance too. Note: we have several pictures of the damage, but the files are too large to send via Angies List website. Sorry. The damage evidence is captured on my computer and I could send to you upon request via email.

Response from Monaco Mowing Co.
First, I’m very sorry that I couldn’t make the customer happy. We do our best to satisfy everyone, but not everyone can be satisfied. His angry words in his report are very hurtful, despite being 99% untrue. I stand behind my handling of this unfortunate matter, and would do nothing differently if presented with the scenario again. All email correspondence with him is available to anyone who wants it, as are copies of his estimate and invoices. They will verify that he is lying in his report. He refused to meet in person or communicate in any other way. He did not fire Monaco Mowing Co.; we fired him. Monaco Mowing Co. terminated service for the member following disrespectful, angry and abusive language in his email. We will not accept such verbal abuse from anyone, customer or otherwise. This case only proves Enzo Ferrari’s claim, that “The customer is NOT always right.” Make no mistake; we bent over backwards for him. We gave him the day of the week he requested, provided an estimate within 24 hours of his request, never charged him more than that estimate, cut at the cutting height he requested. We never missed a date and provided the absolute best mowing, trimming, and clipping management that was possible. We offered a follow-up, on-site consultation with me, the president of the company, when we began seeing issues with his lawn (which he declined). We really don’t know what else we could have done, and he made no constructive suggestions where we could improve. Most disappointing was his angry and disrespectful words. I do not need any customer who is going to disrespect my company, my employees or me personally. I reserve the right to decline service to such customers. I did not surrender my right to be treated with dignity and respect when I offered my services in order to earn an honest living. The customer does not have the right to use a company as its doormat on which he wipes his feet. If unsurpassed quality of service, reliability and professionalism are not enough for him, or any other client, then we do not want their business. We worked for him for 3 months and heard absolutely no complaints until now. We always ask all of our clients to let us know how we are doing and if there is ever any room for improvement. He never complained. Any problems with his lawn were results of him doing things to his lawn that should not be done(mowing excessively short, flooding the lawn with his irrigation system to the point of standing water, pet spots, etc.). His report is 99% falsehoods. We did not “destroy” his yard, this is laughable; go look at it now, it’s fine. We never charged him extra to trim around his sidewalks; he requested edging as described on our website which is not the same as trimming, and is an additional charge. We did not charge him more than our estimate. We did not charge him an initial edging fee. His figure of $300 is not the price we charged him per service, per month, for his total ending charges, or anything else for that matter; therefore that figure is completely false. He never pointed out any mistakes or oversights “in the beginning” as he indicates. I offered to meet with him at any time at his home to walk the grounds and work together on what could be done differently, so his claim I was unwilling to respond and address the issues is false. He did not accept that offer. He never returned a single voice mail, and refused to communicate in any way other than email. He refused to send me the pictures of damage to which he refers; not sure why. Again, all of this is confirmed in email which I have and will share with anyone who wants it. We accommodated his every request, and were painstakingly conscientious in dealing with his lawn, as his lawn was particularly problematic, quite unhealthy and his expectations were unrealistic. I don’t know what else Monaco Mowing Co. could have done for him, and he hasn’t told me the answer to that in spite of my multiple requests. Monaco Mowing Co. takes great pride in its service and relations with its clientele. The best part about this job is getting to know so many great people. Just view the other near-perfect reports we have, and make your decision. There are other good companies, but no one is “better” at this business than Monaco Mowing Co. Thank you!

He is very easy to work with. He is very service oriented and pays great attention to detail. He mows on the right day and at the right height. If the yard doesn't need to be mowed or if it had just rained, he does not do the service.

CHRIS IS ALWAYS POLITE WHEN HE MOWS AND MAKES SURE THAT YOU ARE HAPPY WITH HIS WORK. HE MAINTAINS A REGULAR SCHEDULE AND (AT THIS TIME) PERFORMS THE WORK HIMSELF. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM FOR THE PERSONAL SERVICE AND QUALITY WORK THAT HE PROVIDES.

CHRIS STARTED HIS BUSINESS IN 2003. HE IS CONSCIENTIOUS AND RELIABLE. WHEN WE WERE OUT OF TOWN, HE MADE A POINT OF CALLING US TO GET AN OK TO MOW THE LAWN DUE TO UNUSUAL RAIN AND RESULTING GROWTH OF THE GRASS. HE ALSO INDICATED WHEN IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO MOW DUE TO WEATHER CHANGES. VERY COURTEOUS, AND HAS A GOOD WORK ETHIC.
