Description of Work: I choose to change from our current lawn care company to try this one. I was promised verbally several times that they would be out. After a weeks worth of promises, I called to cancel the resquest.

I called and spoke to Mrs. Kessinger and she said that her husband would call me back. He called me back that night. I told him that I needed some lawn work done and he said he had already finished fertilizing in my area. I then told him that his wife had told me that he could maybe come out on Saturday since I was tied up on Friday. I told him that I was interviewing people for the job and he then hung up on me.

Kevin the owner lined me out prior to the visit and asked detailed questions in order to have me flag any areas of caution ie: invisible fences, landscape lighting, underground wires, irrigation system and so forth. The job was done completely and satisfactory with all clean up preformed prior to the crew leaving the job site.

We were thrilled with the job they did! Kevin and his crew came at a very convenient time before the holidays, and I met them on my lunch break to show the property line, and they went to work. We have a fairly wooded lot with a lot of mature walnut and maple trees. They had the yard spotlessly clean of leaves, all the shrubs neatly trimmed, and the hostas and other perennials cut back in less than 90 minutes (when my husband came home for lunch). We were so impressed to get this done for the amount that we paid. We will definitely use Kessinger Lawn Care again.
Description of Work: This was an Angie's List big deal for $149 for 10,000 sq ft. of yard clean-up with up tp 10 shrubs trimmed. We paid additional $50 to have more trimming performed. The total job included leaf removal, shrub and perennial trimming, and final mowing.

I got different quotes, but they were not the lowest. They were very precise; we had a lot of complications as it was a hill and tearing up all the rotten ones and getting the right one. The cleanup was very good and suggested me to put a walkway at the side of my house with gravel; which they designed for me. It was really cheap that they did for me. They came and worked until a Sunday and when I had a problem, the owner came right away. They also handled the problem and were very apologetic. They were very professional and really hard workers. I have recommended them t my neighbors, also. They also made extra visits which were not mentioned in the estimate, but they never charged me extra. They were very good workers, with an integrity and very pleased. Being so massive it was obvious my neighbors appreciated. The price was good and since I had extra work done, they gave me sketches, etc. and were great.
Description of Work: I used the services of Kessinger Lawn Care for landscaping towards the end of September, 2011.

I was a bit hesitant after purchasing this - worried that they might not be as thorough as I was hoping for. But the Kessinger team exceeded my expectations, and I was delighted with the final outcome. William and his crew were gracious, professional, and efficient - making fast work of what is often an endless job for us. In addition to the leaf removal, they neatly trimmed two large burning bushes as well as numerous shrubs in the front of the house and a landscaped section of tall grasses on the side. William was easy to talk with and eager to address all concerns. But it was their attention to detail that made this buy most rewarding to me - going after errant leaves tucked in shrubs or under trees... The yard looked great when they were finished - even in December! I can happily recommend this company to others.
Description of Work: I purchased Kessinger's "Final Fall Clean-Up" promotion offered through Angie's Big Deal program. The package included leaf gathering and removal, trimming bushes and tall grasses, and lawn mowing.

Given their poor communication and their lack of consideration for my time off from work, I would not use this company again. I booked this service through an Angie's List special offer. I checked the details of the offer and consulted the description of my house to be sure my front yard met their square footage restrictions. The description included that no bushes would be trimmed--that was fine by me. I first contacted the company around Halloween to schedule an appointment. I left an email message and received a reply that due to heavy responses, service would be delayed two weeks. I had no problem with that. A day was scheduled. When the day occurred, I stayed home from work to meet with them. They didn't come, they didn't call. I did get a call the next week from Mr. Kessinger stating that their schedule had been delayed due to the weather. He also stated that the had looked at my property -- on Google earth, I believe. He mentioned that there were a lot of trees and that that would make their job more difficult. I replied that I would like for them to come and remove whatever leaves they could to fulfill the amount of the services I had paid for. We rescheduled. Again, they didn't come and they didn't call. When I talked with them the next week, I expressed my frustration that I had stayed home from work two days, now, but that they had not contacted me on either occasion to let me know they weren't coming. Mr. Kessinger said that "she" had sent out an email to all customers that they were running beyond schedule earlier that last week. I said that I had not received an email and that I was very unhappy that they had not called me on either scheduled day. Mrs Kessinger offerd to reschedule the next week and I did so, after asking him to give me his word that he would call me if they weren't coming. He agreed. They didn't come and they didn't call. The next Saturday a team of 5 men appeared at my door and announced that they were from the Kessinger service to do the work. I explained what I wanted them to do and went back to what I was doing. Several hours later the work was done and done well--they even cleared out the leaves under my deck. Given the poor communication, I would not use this company again, nor would I recommend it to others.

Response from Kessinger Lawn Care
Member, I Kevin Kessinger appoligize for any inconvenience or miscommunication on behalf of Kessinger La, wn Care. However the Angie's List big deal was for leaf removal up to 10,000 sq ft, up to 10 bushes trimmed and a final mowing. Your property is 22,781 sq ft which 2 x the amount of footage for the deal. The times that we had to reschedule were unfortunately days that it rained. When we scheduled these days we did say that it was weather permitting. When it rained on those days unfortunately we had to reschedule again. There were several people that had to be rescheduled due to the weather conditions. Fortunately the weather has finally allowed us to complete our list.

I responded to Deal through Angie's List. Owner came out and let us know it was a larger job than the Deal covered. He promised my yard would look as good as my neighbor's yard. Another owner and 5 workers came out when scheduled. They worked hard all day. Everything was completed by day end. I paid the final payment. The people were all professional and very interested that we were satisfied with their work and their results. We are extremely pleased .
Description of Work: This company did an amazing job including leaf removal (many very tall trees); shrub trimming; final mowing; and gutter cleaning. Our yard has never looked better than it does now.

They came at appointed time and did an amazing job of trimming our bushes as asked. Cleaned up all the accumuilate leaves, of which we have many (13 trees). Hauled away large pile of branches cut down my storms. We were extremely satisfied with the finished job.
Description of Work: We bought a Big Deal offered but first asked if we could swipe mowing for bush trimming. He came and took a look at what we wanted and said he would do it plus gutter cleaning for a stipulated amount more. the "more" seemed to me a bit much but we did need the service so signed him on.

I have two giant trees and had already filled 8 bags with leaves before giving up and paying someone to do it. I was very happy with the service. They arrived a little late, but were done so fast I barely noticed the tardiness. Due to a fence, they were unable to get the lawn mower in my backyard. They said they would be back the next day (a Sunday) with the appropriate mower and finish off my backyard. They came back and finished the job Sunday morning. I was very impressed with their service and plan to skip raking leaves next year and let them to it.

Kessinger's was great. They showed up on time, surveyed our yard and described what they would do. They were very meticulous in removing the leaves from our many flower beds and worked quickly. After they were finished, they had me walk around my yard to make sure there wasn't anything they missed. I thought they were very professional and will absolutely use them in the future!
Description of Work: I purchased the Angie's List Big Deal for $150 for leaf removal and a single mowing of our yard. We have very big trees and a huge amount of leaves had fallen by early November. Last year we had approximately 75 Hefty bags of leaves by the end of the season.

The initial date of the yard cleanup was rescheduled due to weather, which is understandable. I was out of town the week they did the job but when I returned home, the yard looked great! There was not a leaf in sight and everything was trimmed back nicely. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: I purchased the Angie's List deal for $149.00, which was for leaf removal up to 10,000 square feet, trimming of up to 10 bushes and a final mowing of the grass. Mr. Kessinger came out and inspected the property prior to the job being done and offered a full garden cleanup (which included trimming and cutting back all of the annual plants in the yard) for an additional $75, which I accepted.

see above: None of the service was performed.
Description of Work: My husband bought a Angie's List "Daily Deal" that employed Mr. Kessinger to remove 10,000 square feet of leaves, trim 10 bushes and do a final lawn mowing for $149.00. This was supposed to be a great deal and we needed help with our leaves. The service was scheduled for Thursday, 11/10/11 for I had a party here on 11/11/11. I was really counting on his help to get my lawn in shape. Mr. Kessinger called on Tuesday to tell me that I had too much property and he wanted to get out of the job. I read from the "Daily Deal" and asked him to fulfill his service as stated, for I would take care of the back of the lawn and the sides and that would leave him the 10,000 square feet and trimming the 10 Fire bushes that I had on the rataining wall at the front of the house and he said he would. I emailed him at 10:30 A.M. on Thursday when he had not shown up and I got a response that he was busy on another lawn but would be there. He never showed up and finally called and talked to my husband for I was out in the yard all day. They talked about various prices of doing more work, but I had already worked on my part of the yard and needed him to do his part. He refused. We exchanged many emails and he never complied saying that what he would do "wouldn't look right". We talked to him over the phone and through emails and Angie's List also got involved, but all to no reconciliation. I have never met or dealt with anyone like this guy who would not simply do what the "Daily Deal" stated. Very unhappy with Kessinger Lawn Service.

Response from Kessinger Lawn Care
I Kevin Kessinger arrived at your home Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. to look over the property. When I was out there I called you and you were getting out of the shower and told me that you wanted the burning bushes along the street trimmed and the leaves removed from your yard, however, this deal pertains to customers with 10,000 square feet. I am sorry that your property falls at 20 some thousands square feet 2 times the amount for the big deal. Also, you have approximately 26 bushes on your property. You asked me to just do a 10,000 square foot area and the burning bushes out front. This means that half of the bushes would not get trimmed along with half of the yard not getting cleaned up. Therefore leaving the job like that would appear to neighbors and potential customers that we did not finish the job. Please understand that I was willing to give you yet a great deal to do complete property and bushes for only $210.00 additional dollars. I Kevin Kessinger spoke with my rep at 5:30 p.m. and he told me that you were willing to pay up to $300.00 additional for extra work to be done, however, I was only going to charge you $210.00. So as of 10:00 p.m. 11-10-11 as a concerned owner I am e-mailing you to inform you that I will request a refund to you from Angie's List at 8:00 a.m. 11-11-11. I am sorry for any inconvenience I have caused you. Kevin Kessinger

As good as it gets! An email confirmed the work date. Kevin arrived at 9:00am and work started immediately. It took three trucks, several men, and four hours to complete the job. Great job from start to finish. Looks like the yard was vacuumed. They did such a great job that my neighbor canceled her usual service and had them clear her yard, too.
Description of Work: We used an Angie's List Big Deal coupon for Fall Clean-Up and WOW! What a fantastic job Kessinger's team did! We have enourmous oak and maple trees around our large yard. We have been mulching the leaves, but they still were piling-up along the fences, under the shrubs, in the driveway, on the deck and sidewalks, etc. The team trimmed our 12 large shrubs, cleaned out all beddings -- even under the trampoline and treehouse! Could not be happier with the work. We have asked for an estimate for snow removal as we think this company is tops! (We realize the cost would usually be higher and we got a break with the Big Deal coupon, but even so....we would use them again!)

The crew arrived as scheduled and were efficient in their work finishing in just over one hour.
