Terrible service, 5/6 people showed up, no good english which made communication hard. The trees where trimmed and 4 piles of branches left in the yard. Called 2x to speak to owner and 3 days later never a returned call. Service is Tree removal but left in my yard... NOT proffessional at all

But the service was terrible. Had to call every time to ask them to do the mowing or they wouldn't show at all. The quality is terrible. A few times, they left a few areas not mowed. They were always late and only performed 4 mowing in 3 months. I won't hire them again.

Most of the poison ivy was removed, but not all of it. The mulch that was spread was not what I expected plus it was only about 1" thick. It wasn't enough to prevent the weeds from coming through. I had a difficult time talking to the workers who did not understand English very well.
Description of Work: I needed a lot of overgrown bushes removed along with poison ivy entwined around them. I also needed mulch spread around the perimeter of the property.

The work went really well. After contacting the owner, Roberto, by telephone we scheduled a convenient time to review the project on site and he had the crew do the project the next day. Based on the quality of the original work, I had them do several more hours of project work around the yard and hired them for my weekly lawn mowing service.
Description of Work: Needed edging of flower beds and 15 yards of mulch spread.

They showed up with no tools, no equipment. Then argued that he'd have to charge much more to do the work. He estimated that it would take at least 8 hours (!) to only trim the top off of hedges in my front yard, which is not even large. Our old/retired landscape guy used to trim the same hedges in about 30 min.

Received a phone call the morning of the service asking what I wanted done, which I thought was unusual because shouldn't he know what to do by what I ordered off the website?. He was friendly enough when he arrived. In looking at my lawn, he said that I would need new soil and that he would try his best. He made one pass with a machine, but not on the entire lawn; just in one "line" from right to left in the middle of the lawn. He said that I should water than lawn every day and every night. As he was saying goodbye, I saw a coworker sprinkle by hand what I suppose was grass seed. The "sprinkling" lasted less than 1 minute. There were additional smaller areas of lawn (next to the driveway and at the end of the driveway). I pointed these out to him at HIS request during the initial consultation. I cannot confirm if any work was performed on these areas, since the entire visit lasted 5 minutes. Definitely not worth the $139 and definitely would not hire again. If he had said that seeding the lawn would be a waste of time because of the poor condition of the soil, that would have been helpful. I would have appreciated his honesty. Perhaps he could have suggested or offered more services to help with the issue. Simply saying "you need new soil" is not very helpful. Also, performing a service that you think won't help the customer is not professional. If you think the service won't help, then be honest and don't waste the customer's money OR suggest alternative services you can offer the customer.
Description of Work: Used offer posted on Angie's List to have lawn aerated and seeded as described below: $139 for a lawn aeration and overseed package for up to 5,000 square feet (over 5,000 square feet will be additional) Aeration and overseeding can bring life and nutrients to your lawn The processes also aid with building grass immunity and drought stress tolerance, improving soil drainage, and enhancing overall resilience

They did a beautiful job, in the three hours promised. My garden looks so much cleaner! They responded to our request within a week, and scheduled our service for the next day. I had paid for 1 cubic yard of mulch, and the first thing they determined was that we needed 4 cubic yards. We discussed the work I wanted done, and we negotiated what we agreed was a fair price. I made some particular requests, since we prefer not to use a gas mower or edger, and they did everything they could to fulfill the requests. I also wanted to make sure that they didn't pull up my plants when they were weeding. i was so happy, we've scheduled them to return again for the fall clean-up. We are very satisfied. It's hard to find a reliable lawn and yard company that isn't overwhelmed with customers.
