The service excellent and his work is very good. He is very easy to get a hold of if there are any problems. He cleans up really well after himself. He also always calls if he is running late.
Description of Work: We hired him to do two large yard clean-ups a year. He also cuts our lawn and mulches once a week.

I first attempted to contact this company via email, but received no response. 1-2 weeks later, I called, and managed to get Francisco on the phone. He said he would come in about two weeks to evaluate, and could do the work a week later. But, he never came. I called back and left a message, but never received a response.
Description of Work: No work was done. The company failed to show up when they said, and then would not return my calls.

They do excellent work. Everything looks extremely neat when they are done. They mow the grass to the correct height and come when scheduled. They don't bother the flower beds.

They are very clean and very punctual and when the grass does not grow as fast they come twice a month instead of once a week which is good. They are responsible and great.

They are reliable and they do a good job. I had used them last year based on their Angie's ratings and because I was so happy with them I'll have them do my lawn mowing this year too. They have a great price and when compared to others their prices are the best. They'll do the front every week and the back every other week (since the back has more shade). I don't have to be home when they do the work, they'll just mail the bill to me. They also clean up well when they are done. I will continue to use them and would defiantly recommend them.
Description of Work: They came out to do a spring clean up for my yard. They also put down mulch. My yard is quiet large.

I was away when the crew came. It was a big job since leaves were stuck to the lawn and were piled in garden beds. It looks like they removed every last one without further turf damage or trampling the gardens. Francisco is very nice and easy to deal with. Will definitely call again.
Description of Work: Removed leaves from last fall. Mulched gardens.

We have no reason to be anything but pleased with the various services provided by Francisco and his team.
Description of Work: We hired Francisco in late spring to do spring cleaning throughout our yard, including edging of beds. Francisco and his crew did a really nice job at a fair price. Subsequently, we have handed over the weekly/biweekly mowing along with other occasional yard tasks to to Francisco(e.g. removal of tree stump, watering of plants when we've been out of town). We have been consistently pleased with his work. He has been dependable, professional, pleasant to deal with, and fair with pricing. We intend to continue to utilize his services from season to season.

You should never even try to hire this contractor. After 3 calls, Francisco came out to look at the yeard work at our home in Lexington. Afterwards, he said he would call with his price and availability. He never called, and we repeatedly called him because we always try to hire people from Angies list. This contractor does not carry a cell phone and never returns calls from his answering machine. This is the only terribly contractor we ever found on the list.
Description of Work: Work was to mow lawn and trim shrubs throughout the summer.

I found the company on this list. The clean-ups and mowing had been previously done by a relative, so I had no experience hiring someone to do this kind of work. Francisco returned my call in a day or two and came to give me an estimate a few days later. He was very pleasant and professional. His estimate for the clean-up was by far the lowest of the 3 I received. I also hired him to do the mowing ($40/wk for 2 months and $45 every other week after that) and for mulching the plants and shrubs in front and flower beds in the back - this estimate was $150, but that work hasn't been done yet. He came himself with one helper and they worked for 2 or 3 hours. The yard looks great and I was very pleased. I haven't received the bill yet, since the work was just done today.
Description of Work: Spring clean-up for a large yard in Waltham. The backyard is fenced and surrounded by oaks, so there were lots of acorns and fallen branches. Also there were quite a few leaves that fell after I cleaned up in the fall. They cleaned up everything, hauled away the yard waste and mowed front and back.

We found the listing for him on Angie's List and we hired him because of his good rating. My thoughts on him were that he was very professional, courteous and he was willing to take care of any requests I had.
Description of Work: The lawn man pulled up some dead bushes for us. He also mowed the yard, trimmed the trees, pulled weeds out of the flower beds and made our yard look much better.

I called late in the season for this task to be done; I had gotten ''sorry, I'm too busy'' from other vendors. My call was returned right away by (I think) his wife who was very pleasant. Service interactions were excellent. Francisco and his team did and OUTSTANDING job of thoroughly cleaning my yard. My yard is my hobby/passion so I am admittedly very picky with my garden beds; obvious care and attention was demonstrated. They were careful not to rake and blow all the mulch away (as I requested) and were respectful of plants. Will have him return for spring cleanup.

They came on the day promised which was less than a week from being hired. The work was done with attention to detail and he remembered my every request. He seems to enjoy his work, was pleasant to deal with, and on top of that the price was very reasonable. The only complaint we have is that he arrived at our home later than we expected. We will hire him again for our spring clean-up.
Description of Work: After a summer of neglect, leaves were removed, flower beds weeded, lawn mowed, tree-like weeds removed, and our mailbox was installed.

Mr. Chicojay was professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. He came very early on a Saturday and was done before I knew it. He was already working when I went out to meet him, and I could tell he was doing a fantastic job. The best part was that when the work was complete and I opened the door to my yard, I could not stop smiling because it looked so neat and clean!
Description of Work: Mr. Chicojay mowed my newly planted lawn and did general yard clean-up for my very small yard in Cambridge.

He did excellent work (actually, I wasn't there when the work was done, so I'm not sure who did it, but I believe Mr. Chicojay was going to do the work with one or two helpers). I was happy with his estimate, which I thought was reasonable and fair. He did the work when scheduled. I also hired him to do lawn mowing every other week, for which I am paying him $30/time. He is billing me for the work. I immediately liked Mr. Chicojay- I found him to be very warm and professional. I recommend him without reservation.

Francisco was very responsive and able to schedule something within a few days. He also agreed to remove some old bird baths left by previous owners and separated out the bill so that we could easily divide up the bill between personal and condo (shared front yard). His prices were reasonable and the work quality was high. We will definitely use Francisco in the future.
Description of Work: First clean up of the season, front and back yard, removed massive weed problem in back yard, between slated patio, mowed lawn, and removed the bird baths left by previous owners.
