They are reliable and do a great job; much better than the service we have had in previous years. They listened to our plowing requests. They were careful around the driveway entrance and near shrubs where there are underground sprinkler heads. They were great as our Spring-Fall lawn service, suggested certain products when they felt it necessary, and were very reliable. We started with them one year ago and will continue to use their services.

We contracted with Lawn Ketchers for our snow removal this year and we are so happy we did. They were always here when we needed help getting out of the driveway. We did our own snow removal for years, and I doubt we will be able to go back to that very easily. Lawn Ketchers provided us with a lot of choices for service (charge per month, per snow and driveway, driveway and sidewalk, etc.) which we appreciated.
Description of Work: This review is re. snow removal. However, we also use Lawn Ketchers for weekly lawn mowing/trimming, and fall and spring cleanup. We need them as our lot is a 1/2 acre.

Was originally scheduled for 11/21, but did not show up or call. I left several messages over the following 4 days and finally received a call on 11/25 that the work was not performed due to weather and would be performed within the next two days. The work was then performed that day. Overall, the service was performed well. Just wish they had been better at communicating why they hadn't show up as planned.

Lawn Ketchers were contacted a week in advance to go out and mow the lawn and do a granular weed/fertilizer application. It was agreed that the granular was best because there are two dogs in the yard. They showed up on a Thursday, used a spray application and didn't mow or trim. They were contacted and it was discussed that the following Monday they would have the opportunity to go out and do the mowing they neglected to do and they agreed, however Monday came and went and they were a "no show" and "no phone call". Very unreliable company and I would highly warn anyone to stay away from them.
Description of Work: They were to mow the lawn and use weed and feed and continue this service for the year.

Response from Lawn Ketchers Inc
First we want to apologize for the mistakes that occurred when servicing this client and we are always willing to correct these mistakes to satisfy our customers. Our company has recently changed ownership and this particular client was communicating with the previous owner who no longer works at the capacity he once did at Lawn Ketchers. The phone number used for communication with this client has since been re-routed to one of the new business owners and a communication breakdown of this magnitude is not a foreseen occurrence in the future. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift. - Pre Fontaine

The people from Lawn Ketchers mowed our lawn this summer using two mowing machines and weed whackers. They were fast and efficient. This fall they came twice to get rid of leaves using machines, blowers, and a vacuum truck. Again they did a great job and were reasonably priced.

I've used Lawn Ketchers for several years. They are dependable and do a decent job of mowing/trimming. I also use for fall and spring clean-up. They do a fabulous job in the fall -- better then I ever did. They send out a note to customers at the beginning of the season with any updates which is helpful. I do wish they would get their website up and running.

We received a verbal bid for each of the projects described above of $200, $450 and $400, respectively. When I called Mr. Ketcher the following week with some follow up questions, he said the price for the tree removal would be higher ($350) if he did not keep the wood. When I contacted Mr. Ketcher several weeks later to arrange to have the two trees removed, he said the pricing was contingent on his performing all three jobs, and he was not interested in doing just one. Although we always prefer to support local businesses in our community, we would not have wasted our time with this service provider had we known of his requirements up front. I feel as if his approach was misleading.
Description of Work: We contacted Mr. Ketcher to obtain a bid on 3 separate jobs, the removal of two fallen trees, the limited removal of some buckthorn and fall clean-up.
