They got done in a couple of hours what would have taken me a month. It was fine, the project was pretty straight forward. I kind of know what I want done. Usually, I do it myself but, when I have health issues; I basically delegate it. I have very specific ideas on how I want things done. I tell them how to edge it, how much mulch to put down so there won't be any misunderstanding between the customer and the contractor as to what they're suppose to do. I'm usually am here, talking to the supervisor and looking around. I'm just basically sure we're both happy.
Description of Work: It's kind of interesting. I have actually stopped a lot of projects on my house in the last few years. It basically was a cleaning up, edging, mulching, flower beds; I've got a lot of flower beds at my place. I had the mulch delivered on a skid. I did the part of supplying the materials and they provided the labor.

They did well on the work, customer just was not happy because they did the work and cut that line and did not work on the site they told their customers.
Description of Work: They did some work and the foreman was not very helpful, they knew there was a cable line close to the ground and they still cut it anyway. They did not tell the members where they were going to be doing the work. The foreman could had done a better job.

Their price is fairly good. I would definitely use them again. They are very good at what they do. There was a crew, about 3 to 4 guys that came out. They were very, very nice. They were professional.
Description of Work: I'm in the process of using them again. I did use them in the past. We do have a good relationship because, I just contracted with them for a pretty large project. It was to remove a tree, a pretty large tree. The price must have been reasonable, otherwise, we wouldn't have done it.

They do a great job. I think they are terrific. They can do anything. They did a great job and they went to the extra effort to try to find the specific plant that I wanted to use. It was completed in one day. They were very pleasant, quick & professional. The cleanup went very well. There was no complaints.
Description of Work: I used them for business purposes. I am a landscape architect and I use them for contracting. They planted a hedge.

It went okay. We did not hire them again. We were genuinely happy with what they did. There were a few things that they did we didn't like. For instance our gutter downspouts, they disconnected some of those in order to mulch some areas near the house and they didn't reconnect those and left them laying by the house. I thought they should have reconnected those. It's not that they did a bad job, overall they did a good job. I wish the price was a little better. Compared to three other companies they came in the lowest.

Hi [Member Name Removed]! I'm sorry we did not meet your expectation for the requested services. While we do service Washington, Virginia, and Maryland, there are certain projects that are limited to a smaller work zone. We will do our best to clarify our service areas on our website.

Work went always very smoothly and never had any issues either with quality or punctuality of the crews. Cannot give a price because some items run on a yearly basis and others were a la carte.
Description of Work: Year-round care of the lawn, including aeration, reseeding, cutting, fertilizing, etc. Tree cutting and trimming, leaves removal, front yard remodeling and planting of new shrubs and flowerbeds.

The person we initially spoke with had no interest in following up. We contacted the office directly and asked for another employee. Unfortunately, they sent the same individual. The cost for the small (and I stress small) yard was expensive. In particular, I requested that the flowering plants not include a specific color. Of course, when one of the plants bloomed that unwanted color was prominently featured. It was hard to find a contractor because the job was small. I would recommend anyone else in a similar situation keep looking.
Description of Work: We have a small yard that needed resodding. We wanted to add plantings and an edger.

Although the price was higher than the two other bids we received, we initially felt good about working with Jeff (the consultant). After the work was through we noticed "weeds" growing in our yard among the new grass. We reached out to Jeff several times who indicated that it was not possible. We did our own research as we had a suspicion that the straw they laid down to avoid erosion had actually planted into our ground. After many weeks of trying to get a hold of Jeff via email and telephone calls he finally came to the house in mid-November to look at the problem. He confirmed that we actually had wheat growing throughout our entire yard! The only remedy Jeff offered at the time was to mow the grass. He did not offer to deal with the problem in anyway. Instead he indicated that mowing 'should' take care of it. It is now March and we still have wheat growing throughout our entire yard. We also have Daffodils that shouldn't be growing in our grass where they supposedly cleared, tilled and top soiled. We have attempted to reach out to Hometown via setting up an appointment last week. This appointment was canceled by Jeff an hour before he was supposed to arrive at our house. We have emailed pictures pointing out the areas of concern and have called several times. We have yet to hear back from Jeff or the owner John about what will be done to rectify the situation. We spent $10,000 with Hometown and are so disappointed, and frustrated with not only their work product but the very poor communication and customer service. We would never recommend them to anyone else. In fact, if the problem does not get fixed we are ready to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
Description of Work: We contracted with Hometown to level, grade, top soil, and seed our lawn in October 2015.

We would definitely hire Hometown Landscape again. Our yard is now beautifully landscaped.
Description of Work: Hometown Landscape and Lawn Service removed a 20 year old juniper in the front landscape bed and planted beautiful green velvet boxwoods and variegated liriope and mulched the bed. They removed two dead trees and performed heavy pruning of two burning bushes in the front and trimmed lower branches on a Zelkova tree in the back yard and a crepe myrtle. The estimate was completed on time as promised and the work was completed within two weeks which was also as promised. I would definitely use this company again.

They did concrete walkway and landscaping. The work looks very good. However the Customer service was horrible First they did not start the job on time as scheduled Then they CUT my cable wire and did not even compensate me for it Then they tried to charge me an additional 150 dollars for a bush that was larger then my requested hydrangeas however the original quote was for 5 hydrangeas and they gave me two plus two smaller bushes which were WAY cheaper then the hydrangeas but wanted more money or they will be taking it out... HORRIBLE customer service and satisfaction... They lost a 5000 contract over 150 dollars as I was going to continue and have them do pavers! BEWARE

Hometown told client during our initial appointment that we were 4-6 weeks out. We never gave this client a specific date until we did a final walk-thru prior to starting the job. Unfortunately the Verizon line was cut but we took all precautions to hand dig and was no charge to customer. As we were completing the work, the homeowner asked if we could switch one plant. She stated to our manager on site that she would pay the extra charge. We fulfilled her desire,but we were not compensated as promised. Finally after discussing these issues with the homeowner, Hometown decided and explained to the homeowner we were not comfortable to continue anymore working relations with them from this point moving forward.

While they do a good job, they charge on a monthly basis and their prices seem on the higher end. They do a very complete mowing job and are good with edging and clean-up. I have a dog and there have been times that the back yard was not completed because the dog was out and they could have knocked on our door to bring the dog in.
