Veteran Lawn Service just cannot seem to follow the simplest of requests to be aware of and respectful to neighboring property lines. Spoke to and corresponded with several times about this and it just doesn't sink in.

Awesome. I signed up for a 4-week lawn cutting and loved it so much I used them all summer and signed up for their additional packages. I had a party that I wanted my lawn to be freshly cut for, they adjusted the schedule so that the lawn was cut on Friday instead of the normal Wednesday. If they were unable to mow the yard because of weather, they were always out the very next day. I look forward to next summer!

This business is one of the best run businesses I've ever dealt with. Jared will bend over backward to please his customers, has the utmost integrity, and does exceptional work. I highly recommend this team - from my experience, you will be another very happy customer.

Bad, I wanted to use a local Business, Veteran Lawn service. Said residential mowing in East Bethel. Jared Nelson the owner Couldn't give me a price on the phone. When he got here gave me a fairly high price. I said that much he said yes you are out here a ways. I'm in East Bethel he is out of Ham Lake. He said well let me see how long it takes. I told him it didn't need to be perfect. It took him approx. an hour and a half for mowing, trimming and blowing. I asked him how much he gave a higher price than before. He said it is always more the first time. So asked how much after that he quoted a high price I asked how often he said weekly I said I can't afford that. I Went and got the money gave it to him. That's when he let me know I inconvenienced him and that most professionals don't have time for one time mows " just a heads up" he said as he is walking away. I went on his website afterwards and it says, weekly, biweekly and mow as needed. Why offer that if you will only do weekly mows. I will not recommend him to anyone and I have been letting everyone know how badly he treated me.
Description of Work: The lawn mowed with minimal trimming.

Response from Veteran Lawn Service
When a property is +1 acre and weeks overgrown it's near impossible to bid over the phone. To be fair to both parties it's better to view it first and/or mow it. The pricing will always be higher with longer grass and the fact that your home was going on the market soon and wasn't a long term agreement. After mowing it, at the end of our conversation I said my initial offer could be lowered by +25%. The disagreement came about when you realized a professional business such as ours mows weekly, and not on a call in basis. Our website does say what you discribed, but that means our weekly mowing clients may transition to biweekly mowings during periods of dry weather. All in all, your yard was serviced by myself and I know it was done very well, I even went over it twice because it was so long. Giving my business an F ranking on here over something so petty was pretty classless in my opinion. We've been in business for 15 years and mowed thousands of lawns, this is literally the first negative review I've ever received, that speaks for itself.

They do a good job mowing the lawn but damaged my mailbox twice in the past 2 years, once by hitting it while mowing around it (broke the post, requiring major repair) and again by hitting the concrete base with the mower blade/frame and breaking a large piece off. To their credit, they reimbursed me for the repair cost of the second accident. I did not report the damage from the first accident so I covered the cost of the repair myself. They "fly" through the yard very quickly in their riding mower, which probably is what caused the accidents. I spoke to the owner about it and he was very apologetic and covered the full cost of the concrete repair.

They removed the snow from my two-car wide driveway and the sidewalk leading up to my door. I've never had any problems, they're definitely worth the money. My lawn looks so much better, they fertilize 4 times a year and I've been really satisfied with how it's improved over the last year. Whenever I have a question about something they always have great answers for me.
Description of Work: I had snow removal done and they also do my lawn care.
