Jeff never returned one call that I made to him. I asked that he be especially careful trimming around picket fence as the last person I hired did not and the bottoms of the slats began to be chipped away. The same thing happened with Jeff. I also asked him to plant ground cover in our from yard where sun prohibits growing anything and for a roughly 6ftx6ft area he charged $600.00 For spring and fall cleanup he often left us as the very last person in the neighborhood and then it would snow and a the cleanup couldn't be done until spring, which he also got to very late in in the season. I wanted him to lay some river rock around my patio and the one time I ran into him while he was mowing he said he could easily do this. I never heard from him after and again, no response to my several calls and voice mails. I originally chose Jeff because I was looking for someone who didn't have a minimum charge. Our property WITH THE HOUSE is .25 acres. He did not quote an exact price but did "empathize " with the problem of minimums when my yard fell way below them. Hi first invoice was low., Then he raised his prices and he was no cheaper than the old company. Again, I tried to call to see what had changed, NO response. Finally I called him this past summer when I notices several weeds in our grass. He had told me when we met that he feels people use herbicides too often when if the grass is cut properly weeds are rarely a problem. ok. That sounded good, I have dogs and don't want to put them at risk. He never got back to me and if he did something about the weeds I wouldn't know.
Description of Work: Used Jeff for 2 seasons of grass cutting and trimming as well as fall and spring cleanup.

I dont recall the exact date, but it was a blizzard at the time, I must have called 6+ different companies and he was the only one who picked up the phone. He was also able to get the job done within 48 hours which was much better than other people who got back to me. Our house was a corner house with a lot of sidewalk, we were very pleased with the price and it was so nice that we didnt have to go to our house on the market in the middle of a blizzard to shovel.
Description of Work: Provider shoveled our corner house.

Communication was horrible. Took repeated calls to get a call back. Stated they would look at the job and give us a quote. They never called back. Two more calls to get the quote. (these things should have tipped us off but we needed someone) We told them to do the job. Arrived a couple of days after they stated they thought they would be there. Moved several of our items (trailer, landscape timber, etc.) without asking or informing, so they could get a huge zero turn mower into about a 20x30 section of yard. Tore up all our grass in that area, damaged brick landscaping, ran over plants. When they were done the leaves were gone, but so was part of our grass, and the landscape items weren't put back. Overall a horrible experience and I can't recommend. We've used other service providers in the past without incident.

I'm not sure what happened here... this was NOT turf Dawgs. We didn't do this work, and haven't done any work at this address. You have me confused with another company.

The provider's cost was extremely high. He said he would be coming from Maple Grove so he would have to add $25.00 on for gas to an already high price. He never even looked at our yard to see what size it was.

I echo the frustration of the 8/13 reviewer. I contacted them because of the A grade and 37 reviews. I attempted to hire them in the spring, and now again this fall. Despite leaving multiple voicemails and sending an email as per their website information and no response. I guess they are busy and whether or not I'm busy does not matter. I know I've got WAY more time in trying to reach them than a 10 second call to say they are booked and not taking on more work. Look forward to leaving a positive review for the contractor that does end up performing the work. Will post in about a month or so when I can accurately assess the results.
Description of Work: Nothing as I cannot get a call or email reply from owner

I contacted this company for an estimate for lawn care and snow removal services but they never responded. After reading other reviews, it looks like this is how they tend to operate. Very unprofessional. Even if you are full for the season, or I am out of your service area, or just don't feel like working, you could at least respond to inquiries and just say no.

Jeff at Turf Dawgs does excellent yard upkeep for a reasonable rate. He charges me by the visit for routine maintenance and by the hour for spring and fall cleanup so the amount spent will vary depending upon your yard and number of trees. He sets a day for your normal service and actually shows up, does a thorough job and leaves the area clean and neat. The few times I've been unhappy with something, he addressed it quickly and the required improvement was made. Any extra work, such as trimming shrubbery, was scheduled efficiently and done well. If you ask, Jeff will call when weather or an emergency requires he juggle the schedule and approximate when he'll be able to make it out. Overall, I'm very happy to have found Turf Dawgs and plan to continue with them for the foreseeable future.
Description of Work: For me they do weekly yard maintenance, including mowing, overseeding, shrubbery trimming and weed whacking, plus big spring and fall cleanup, hauling away piles of leaves and debris.

I was in a really bad spot after the company I had contracted for snow removal didn't show up after our huge storm. I left Turf Dawgs a voicemail asking for help on Tuesday morning, and they called back about an hour later. He called while sitting in front of my house and offered to shovel right that minute. It was so great! Also, the pricing was fair, $30 per time, so he didn't take advantage of the situation and over charge for emergency service. I plan to work with Turf Dawgs the rest of the season, and am so grateful they helped me out of a jam!
Description of Work: Shoveled the snow on my sidewalk, walkways, steps, etc.

i was a first-time buyer of any of these services as my husband had been doing it himself for many years. Turf was busy but he came when he said he'd come and he bid pricing ahead of time and stuck to it. Work was clean and efficient. he took away all the refuse and even cans full of leaves I had raked up. I would definitely use them and recommend them.
Description of Work: Excellent service. They knew what they were doing, they were careful. Owner Jeff knew landscaping and helped me figure out what sorts of shrubs would fit into various spaces around my yard. then he purchased them at a good price for me and planted them. lawn clean up and weed and feed worked, with environmentally safe stuff, a year later i had no dandelions while my neighbors' lawns were abloom.

Jeff's team cut our grass and trimmed this past summer, he is prompt and responsive to any concerns. Jeff is honest and reliable. His prices are competitive and he does quality work. We had him remove a large patch of goutweed which had begun to get weedy- he eliminated the weeds, leveled the land, and laid down a great quality sod at a very reasonable price. We have a willow birch tree that tends to hold on to its leaves, so Jeff is holding off on the fall cleanup until they drop. We highly recommend Jeff @ Turf Dawgs. We have signed up for snow removal this winter and have no qualms that he will do a great job on that also.

They have been prompt and have done a good job on the mowing. They seem careful and try to make sure grass clippings are not blown into the shrub beds. They repaired some minor damage that occurred without me asking. They have not yet performed the fall clean-up. I'll update/issue a new report following the clean-up

I emailed Turf Dawgs for an estimate in early August through the Angie's List email option and didn't hear back for a week. Jeff wrote that he accidently replied to Angie's list and not to me - which I thought was an honest mistake. That same day I asked if he would provide an estimate for ongoing lawn services and snow removal. It's been over a week and I haven't heard back from him. I emailed him two days ago to see if he was still interested in providing an estimate, but have still not received a response. I'm writing this review because I've had so many wonderful experiences with Angie's List service providers, who return emails and phone calls prompty and did what they said they would do. Not responding to a request - even if they can't do it - is very unprofessional. I'm very disappointed in Turf Dawgs' initial contact/customer service and would not recommend using them if this is the way they treat potential clients.

I contacted Turf Dawgs in late May to get an estimate on repairing my lawn. Although it took quite a while to get a response and then a while to get an estimate, I did like company and wanted to move forward with the work. Sadly, I never got a return email when I specified the work I wanted complete.
