Adalberto Lawn Service Inc

never showed to give me an estimate

The tree was taken down quickly and well. Neighbors commented on what a great job they did. The rest of the work has been great, too. And Adalberto is a very nice man.

We used Adalberto because the previous owners of our house used him for years as do other neighbors. They do good work, but their communication is not great. When we first contacted them, they said they would do the work and their prices and that we would get a bill, but did not explain it is quarterly (we oddly have yet to get one). While this prevents having to write constant checks, it also doesn't allow you to keep track of the services being done so by the time the bill comes, you're just hoping you're not getting billed for services you don't want. They also shovel snow for $50 a snow. The previous owner had a deal for shoveling over 2 inches. In December, it snowed less than 2 inches and we were frustrated because we certainly could have shoveled the dusting ourselves. So we left a message in mid-December asking him to call us so we could set up a protocol with the goal of us texting or calling if we did want the service if the amount was iffy or just doing it if it was clear we would need it. He never called back (this was 3 weeks ago). So when it snowed a lot this past weekend, he just didn't come and it was several inches and very icy - clearly some time we would want it. So I texted asking him to come (not even sure if texts would work as I hadn't texted). Sure enough - he did show up with a loud truck at 7 AM on a Saturday, though I never received a response. I was happy the job was done and done pretty well (some ice remained), but it would have been nice if he had communicated and we could have said to come a bit later given that it was the weekend - or really just communicated at all. So I am a bit hesitant to have them do the spring cleaning as it is very pricy and I just assume it will wind up being done without discussion of price or task. So I guess the verdict is out here. They definitely get the job done and nicely, but the communication is really bad.

They're very thorough, they know their plants and trees. They do a wonderful job with trimming and weeding and cleaning everything up, they do a great job.
