Residential Lawn

This company appears to be a fraud/scam They take payment from you then never provide service or respond to incalls/emails/texts. They have also failed to respond to my BBB complaint and my banks fraud department. You will have an overgrown, uncut lawn with this companies services

I initially had landscaping done about 4 years ago and they did a nice job, with a one year warrantee on the trees they planted. I contacted them several months later to replace the two trees that didn't make it, and to change out three shrubs I didn't care for (I paid them extra for the changes). I'm still waiting for them to make these fixes. In the meantime, I signed up and paid for snow and leaf removal last year, but never got either of those services performed. I have called, and texted, left messages etc., with no response. For well over a year. My next stop will be to contact my credit card company to see if they can go after the firm to get some of my money back.

Required to prepay $269 in October 2019. As of February 2020, no service ever done, no requested refund received, no more responses received, they never answer phone. Definitely would not trust or recommend.

Owner owns 2 landscaping businesses, Residential Lawn and Maryland Landscaping Group.  Has scammed many customers in the past.

The company left a flyer at my door advertising its services.  The ad stated that this company strictly provided services to townhomes for $10 a cut.  The ad also stated that the lawn would be trimmed each cut and edged every other.  The cutting would be done "as needed" every 7-9 days in the summer and 9-12 days in the spring and fall.  The ad also noted that the lawn would be fertilized 4 times during the season.  Once you enrolled, you paid the $240 up front.  You could cancel at any time and get a refund for the cuts remaining.  
The grass cutting service was to begin in April; however, we decided to have sod laid and hired this company to perform this service.  I was told it would be complete in 2-3 days once they started.  It look over a week to get the sod installation completed.  Weather played a small part in it taking so long.  We have to live with mud once the top was stripped; not fun! 
Once the sod took (about 3 weeks), the lawn could be cut.  The first cut was on May 3rd.  I wasn't home during most cuts, but when I was, there were usually 4 guys cutting.  They usually cut the front lawn with a trimmer rather than a mower; I did not care for this.  I did have to contact the company during the summer about cutting the lawn because it was getting too long.  I did not like having to call them to do their job.
During the course of the contract, I did try to contact them by phone or email and usually did not get a response.  I had to follow up to get a response.  I contacted Mike to get a refund for the first four cuts since we didn't use the service due to the sod installation.  He told me that I'd get a refund at the end of the season or I could use the money for other services they offered.  I would have preferred getting a refund in May rather than waiting until Nov or Dec.
I did peruse their website at one point during the season and saw that it now was cutting lawn for single family homes.  I understand wanting to grow your business, but don't claim to only cut one type of home and then begin taking on new business during that season.  I believe this contributed to their scheduling conflicts with maintaining my lawn.
No fertilizer was ever spread on the lawn.  This is disappointing.  I was afraid to spread it myself and then if they were to come behind it might damage the lawn.  I didn't contact them due to the prior lack of responsiveness.
I recently sent an email to the company requesting my refund.  It never responded.  I contacted the company again one week later and it asked if I wanted a refund.  This was a little confusing.  Hopefully, I'll get my refund soon.  
On a positive note, the sod is nice and we have the best lawn on our street!!  The service was a convenience to me, but the lack of responsiveness and misrepresentation of the services provided was a disappointment.  Not sure if I'd use the company again.

This company is horrible. I could kick myself for not looking on Angie's list first. They are liars and they cut corners. Their means of fixing my fence was to use a chain and to nail it into the vinyl with the chain still there. Also guess what the weeds are back as bad as ever. His idea of taking care of them was to pull them. The lirope that was to be planting along the front sidewalk did finally get planting after pointing it out to him , but they dug up some of it that they planted in the back and transplanted it out front. How cheap is that .$4000 down the drain. I guess I will never get my backyard like I wanted. I know for one thing,I will do my homework next time I have any work done. BUYER BEWARE OF RESIDENTIAL LAWN!!!!!!

This company is horrible.  I would like to think it is because the president of the company, Michael Buell, is young and doesn't quite know how paying customers are supposed to be treated.
We hired this company to pressure wash the back of our townhouse and a small deck.  The quote was for $190, which I thought was a little high, but the neighbors were also having their house done so we thought it would be easy to do both houses at the same time.  The company never communicated with us when they planned to arrive to perform the work.  They happen to show up the day I was home recovering from an outpatient surgical procedure and woke me up with the noise of spraying water.  They weren't out there very long and then they were off to the neighbors house.  I did not go out to check their work until a few days later and realized they only sprayed to where they could reach from the deck and that is it.  They didn't clean under the windows, along the doors, nothing.  I spoke to the neighbor and they had did the same thing at her house.  So, we wrote Michael and he said he would come take care of it ASAP.  In the meantime, the company's ladder sat on the neighbors grass for over a month and killed their grass.
Michael's ASAP was approximately a month later.  Again, no communication to say they were coming.  The only reason I knew someone had come was because I came back from work and couldn't get out of the back door because they pushed all the furniture against the french doors.  I could see the deck was wet so I knew they had come out.  They did an ok job this second time around, but I still saw dirt around the windows and on the deck and along the gutter line.  I was tired of messing around with the company so I paid them so I could be done with them.
Then just recently (End of June), I was away for vacation for two weeks and was told by a neighbor that two other neighbors were having pressure washing done by Michael's company.  They tried to hook up to the water at those two houses and realized their water was turned off.  So instead, they hook their equipment up to the water at the back of my house and get ready to start spraying the neighbors house.  One of the neighbors saw it and asked them what they were doing and they said they couldn't get any water from the neighbors house so they went to our house.  She told them that that wasn't our problem and that they could not use our water.  They then asked her to use her water. She again said no so they ended up leaving for the day.
This company is so unprofessional.  They advertise that they cut grass for $10 in townhome communities.  They should stick to what they know.  I would never hire this company or recommend them for any work not even $10 grass cutting.  I don't know what kind of contractor thinks it is appropriate to just show up at people's home without warning and to use a neighbors water supply to clean another house in the neighborhood.  Water is not free and I don't appreciate the attempt.  Luckily our neighbor was home or we would have had one large water bill!
