Received a returned phone call with 2 hours of placing a call asking for a quote. Unfortunately, he doesn't service Saco so I wasn't able to hire him. However, he was super nice and answered a bunch of questions I had.

Went great. Was quoted by the owner. One of the workers came, did the job exactly as asked. Looked great. I had made sure to tell them not to park the truck onto the newly paved driveway and they made sure they parked on the road and used a wheelbarrow to cart the loam to where it needed to go. I really appreciated that because I know it took a little longer that way. I've never been disappointed with this company as I've used them in the past a few times now.
Description of Work: spread loam along the sides of a newly paved driveway to shore up the sides so they wouldn't crumble. Will have them back in the spring to plant grass. Also took care of a pile of tree limbs for us.

We can always count on Maxwell's. Joel does all the inspections and estimates. If anything is not satisfactory, he has his men out promptly to correct without further charges. His company has done our mowing for three years now, and for $45 does an exceptional job.
Description of Work: Pruned very overgrown raspberries and roses. Cleaned up back yard property lines after removal of fence.

The owner was very prompt in coming to my home to assess my needs and give me a quote. Within 2 weeks time the crew was here as he stated. I was not home when they were here but when I got home and saw the work had been done I was very impressed. The shrubs looked great and the lilac bushes were cut back exactly as I asked. They had pulled out a dying shrub as well. They left the yard very clean. You could not tell that they were even there except for the trimmed bushes. The bill came in as quoted. I well definitely use them again for my spring time mulching or anything else I need done at that time.
Description of Work: trim very overgrown shrubs and bushes, dug up an old dying shrub and replaced with another plant

I didn't have to think or worry about my property. Just writing them a check, billed monthly.
Description of Work: I used them for years when I lived in South Portland. It started with them doing fall clean up, then extended into all my lawn maintenance needs which included approximately twice monthly mowings during the summer, and then into their brother company for winter snow removal.

The job was too small so they referred me to somebody else but they were friendly. They didn't have ideas for me other than to refer me to someone.

We were pretty happy with the service. They were reliable and timely - I was always able to get out of my driveway when I needed to. They did tear up the lawn a bit, which is always a snow plowing hazard, but they will do lawn repair, if it is needed (we didn't ask them to do this). We are continuing to use Maxwell's this year because we were happy with them.
Description of Work: Driveway plowing. They come automatically whenever the snowfall warrants it.

Maxwell's worked very well for us.
Description of Work: We used Maxwells Landscaping/grasscutting service for a few years at our home. We found them to do a good job on our lawn. Joel was very open to requests of anything that we might want different. We were also trying to sell the house at the time and he would make special trips over to ensure everything looked nice before our open house(s). I found them to be honest, hardworking, and respectful of our property. They performed the work requested in a timely manner. I would use them again and would most certainly receommend them to anyone else.

They are great. We use them all the time. They are very good and very reliable. They do good work and are really nice. They are terrific. We can talk to them and explain everything and they will work with us. Actually somebody from our church pays for the lawn and yard work but we do pay for snow shoveling. We would rate them highly and would continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: We use Maxwell’s for yard work. They mow and they clean up the leaves. They have done some yard work in the backyard fixing up drainage and such. They also do snow removal for us.
