Oddscapes was great. They were back in touch with me within hours of when I contacted them and they actually squeezed me in within days to clean the whole yard. The yard is very large and I was impressed with the quality of the work and how quickly they were able to get the work done. I would definitely use them again! Thank you!

Took advantage of a prepaid package deal where Oddscapes and I negotiated a personalized package deal. By paying up front, I got a discount on the package deal and honestly forgot about lawn care this year all together. Best decision I ever made. If I needed to add anything we hadn't discussed, for example Ernie suggested adding some stone to an area where I had mulch erosion under a roof area, we added that on the fly and Ernie could take my credit card info on his phone so I didn't need to worry about forgetting to pay the invoice later. :) Ernie and Jen treat the lawn like it's theirs, couldn't be happier.
Description of Work: Oddscapes has done it all this year. Spring cleanup and haul away, seeding and weed control, weekly mowing and trimming, mulch and landscaping and will be wrapping up fall cleanup here shortly.

The experience was not satisfying and I cancelled the yard monthly service. I believe it was probably a genuine misunderstanding on the part of the provider that should not have taken the job in the first place or, once the job had been accepted, given the very clear brief and written confirmation that all the ivy would be removed from the back wall of the building, should have spontaneously communicated that all the ivy had not or could not be removed by them. Instead I had to call and email. The call to understand why the work had not been performed as per the agreement / understanding was not very constructive and miscommunication persisted (tone of the response was not appropriate and telling me that I should have known that the provider was not able to perform such work that they accepted...was not satisfying at all). I cancelled the service. Quality of monthly yard service was mediocre anyway. I would not use this provider again.
Description of Work: Hired the provider to remove Ivy from the back of a brick house and initiated yard service on a monthly basis (price above is for the cumulative service received since start of service). The provider was extensively briefed by phone, scope of work was confirmed by email but the work as briefed was not performed.

I would like to start by saying that all of your frustration could've been avoided if you would have taken the time to speak with me on the phone in a nice manner. I was trying to explain that landscapers don't tend to large 3 story high buildings!!!! Landscapers tend to work on the ground. You were only charged $250 for the ivy that we removed from your shed, the ground cover, and along the bottom of the wall and around your stairs. That price also included the leaf clean-up and removal of all we pulled out of there. You weren't even charged a dump fee as we often do. So to be realistic you need to have some one come in with a lift to even think about getting that work done. Then you would have to hire a mason person to fix the damage from ripping that ivy off, all out of the range of a landscaping job by the way!!!! As for the mediocre work as you put it, you only had us doing it once a month with vehicles in the way every time. We made that place look exceptional considering the difficulty working around everything there. If you want a better looking yard maintain it more than once a month because NO ONE puts more heart and soul into their work than us. We are sorry that this arrangement didn't work out but we do appreciate that you made payments in a timely fashion. Hopefully you can communicate better with the next crew you have come in.

I declined to hire him and thanked him for coming out to see the gardens . He was responsive enough to do that quickly, which I appreciated. I ended up putting a CL ad and finding a university student who was willing to do it for a reasonable price. So the price of 1000-1500 (!) to weed and spread mulch on two garden beds was cut down to about $140.00 (plus cost of mulch). I will review the student next as she is an excellent gardener!
Description of Work: Was not hired to do the work because he gave an absurd price estimate. But I was looking for someone to spend about 10 hours weeding my 2 garden beds, then mulching. One side was badly overgrown and the other side had been recently gone over. I've done it a bunch of times and I know how long it takes . He came out and said it would take two people that amount of time - i.e., double the hours, and his fee is 45/per person. To pull weeds. And spread mulch. I'm fairly certain we got the "oceanfront house" price.

We are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the estimate given but we are professionals and would have given it the proper attention. You were not quoted that price because you have"ocean front property". We give estimates based on the amount of time and quality put into each job. We are not quite sure why you would give such a review for an ESTIMATE but we do hope that everything works out for you.

We appreciate that you used our services this year but I can say with 100 percent certainty that our prices NEVER went up. We gave you a great price for the distance that we had to travel, considering that you basically used us as on-call lawn care. We only did the work as per YOUR request. The last time you had him come on Fathers day!! You specifically asked him to cut it shorter because you had the mosquito people coming to spray. If you would have listened to the advice given you would have known that it would not come out the way you thought. Our work quality is excellent when people listen and take the advice. Good luck in the future.

My yard was seriously overgrown with many dropped twigs and branches from the old oaks as well as last fall's leaves. My irregular lawnguy-of-the-past had not shown to do any work this year and it was now almost August. The yard had gotten so bad that at the suggestion of a coworker, I'd searched for bushhog services on Angie's list. Bushhog falls under Landscaping services, and Oddscapes was listed as servicing my area. I called on a Sunday morning and received a call back same day with an offer to come review the work to be done later in the afternoon. I've had some awesome services provided from Angie's list, but this set a new standard in responsiveness. The owner, Ernie, and his daughter came to my home at a time that fit my schedule, reviewed my area, were not overwhelmed, and came the following day to do the work. They did everything I'd asked and more. They were neat, efficient, hardworking, and thorough. First combing the front, side, and back 'yard' for branches and blow-downs that could trip me or harm a lawnmower, then then removed them to my abutting 'wild growth' area. This was followed by weedwhacking my terrace and areas that a mower wouldn't go, leaf blowing the results and all of last year's packed down leaves, and then mowing and re-mowing in angles until my field became a recognizable front, side and back yard. And they were great with my dog! They came back two days later to spread weed&feed. I couldn't be more pleased and have arranged for regular care and maintenance with them. I intend to call on Oddscapes for actual landscaping help with plantings, shrub trimming and the like. As an older person with some disabilities, it is a relief to know I can rely on them to take over work I can no longer do myself. I highly recommend this family owned company.

Ernie called us back to confirm when he could be here as promised. He arrived a few minutes earlier than the projected time and started right away, based on feedback we had given him during the estimate. The results were wonderful. His work ( raking, clearing land) was excellent and the price came in under the estimate. Ernie is a very hard worker. He is the owner, and you can see right away that he takes great pride in doing work that meets or exceeds expectations. We have already scheduled him for additional work and fall cleanup. It is wonderful to work with a family owned company that has such a solid work ethic. I highly recommend Oddscapes.
Description of Work: Ernest (the owner) stopped by our home within 24 hours of my first contact to provide us with an estimate for general landscaping cleanup.

Where to begin? To write a review about Ernie and Jenn at ODDSCAPES is tough as they are more than EXCEPTIONAL in providing friendly, professional, affordable lawn care. We set up a free initial meeting and walked the grounds to discuss all that needed to be done..and there was plenty to do!!!! .You don't often find someone who advises you to "do what's most important first" and take it in stages. I cannot say enough positive things about the great service and "go beyond" attitude that Ernie brings every time he comes. Not only will I continue as a customer and tell everyone about ODDSCAPES, I feel I have made a new friend that I really can depend on! I can recommend Ernie with total confidence and plan to discuss plans for winter work: plowing, shoveling,etc. as well! ODDSCAPES does it all...and does it GREAT! Thanks so much Ernie and Jenn ( and family) for everything you do to make life so much easier and my home look great! Marilyn Norton Cumberland,Maine

It was okay but not great. They came out within the first few weeks after I purchased the big deal to do the work for me and they did not charge me anything more than the price of the deal. They cleaned up everything around the trees and the leaves and all that stuff but they left piles everywhere. They did not remove it from my property.

It went great! It will be a while before we see the end result.
Description of Work: We moved in to this house in November. As the snow melted this spring, it became clear that we needed a lot of help fixing it up. Ernest came over and had a plan to make it shine again. After the initial clean up service, he came back and de-thatched the yard, seeded it, and placed hay over the bare spots of grass. I am excited to see how this will all turn out. The yard looks so much better now even with all the hay! He weeded every flower bed and cleaned out all the bushes. This will be a long process, but it is shaping up very nicely.

our lawn was unattended for a while and needed a lot of work. ernie responded within an hour of my phone call and stopped by later that day. he looked over my lawn thoroughly and explained what he would do and was very accommodating and informative. he even stopped by for another visit prior to the appointment to speak with my fiance about her concerns regarding our plants. on the day of the scheduled yard work, he was punctual and well prepared. he and his wife jen completed an enormous amount of work in a relatively short time. the lawn and surrounding area look amazing. his price is very fair and i highly recommend oddscapes to anyone who needs any type of yard work, especially for those who aren't well versed in lawn care. ernie is very personable and encourages questions and is extremely knowledgeable. my fiance and i couldn't be happier with the results.

I contacted Ernie at Oddscapes to have some general yard maintenance done. He came out and told me how much it would cost, which was very reasonable. I had Oddscapes mow and use the trimmer a couple of times. They did a fantastic job and were very quick. We were very happy with the service. I was most impressed they used the trimmer on the whole property. My husband was impressed because he didn't have to :). We would definitely use Oddscapes again.
Description of Work: Mowed the entire lawn, used the weed whacked around the whole property and general yard clean-up.
