I asked him for expedited service and when I woke up Sunday morning - the snow removal was already complete. I'm very happy so far with his service. I like his responsiveness and the fact that you pay for each time he comes out.
Description of Work: I e-mailed Greg the first part of January to see if I could get his services for snow removal. He responded immediately and said he would give me a bid.

I have a long drive tight between two houses. And I need the snow removed by hand, not plow. The service made one mistake and pulled a blade down part of the drive (it scratches the colored cement a little), but that was it. Last winter brought a lot of snow and Greg's service did a very good job of sending out a crew with shovels. I have hired them again this winter.

Each time they came out it was different pricing. They broke up the pay scale by the amount of snow, how many men they had come out and when we actually had snow. The price was very fair for each pay scale and for the work they did. They were very reliable, which is always important. They were also very professional.
Description of Work: I hired this company for snow removal last winter. I hired them whenever it did snow.

I don't know all the details because we were gone, but we had no problem in terms of getting in trouble with the city and when my son stopped by, everything seemed in good shape. The only problem I might mention was that I had requested billing via E-mail because we were not getting mail, and that didn't happen. It was not a problem because they continued to provide the service but it made it difficult to pay them promptly.

I don't know why it has taken us so long to write this review/ When the last flake falls the crew is there. We have usually stayed in touch via email. Greg responds very quickly. Today, as an example, I sent him an email about plowing snow piling up at the end of the driveway. I sent it about 3 PM. We returned at 6 PM and the job had been done. This is normal for his service. Many people like to pay by the month. We prefer to pay for reliability.
Description of Work: Greg has done snow removal for us for about 12 years. One winter it was at 2 locations.

This is the 6th time I have called them. Terrible terrible job with the last snow removal. So bad that my dad asked me when he came over in the afternoon if they were supposed to shovel. It looked like they hadn't done anything. The crew took off only the top layer and left 1 1/2" inches below completely untouched. Haven't received a call back yet and will call them again today. During the last big snow, we had problems as well. The crew shoveled the front of the house but didn't shovel the back or the driveway. I called the owner who did answer and told him. Even he thought it was dumb that they didn't shovel the back. Quite a while later, they shoveled the back walkway and stairs. But not the driveway. A 2nd call ensued. 3 calls and 3 hours later, the driveway was finally shoveled. And this was well into the afternoon even though we signed up for the "expedited" service. They do a fine job when the snow is less than 1" but that's not the main reason to have a snow service! The price is reasonable but not if the snow doesn't actually get removed.
Description of Work: We contracted with them for this winter's snow removal. They have a per time unit charge which is fine and they also have a 15% surcharge if you choose expedited/early snow removal due to needing to leave the house early.

I called because of a big snowstorm while my husband was out of town, hoping for a one-time snow removal. I called the night before and was told to call back in the morning. I called at 6AM and was told to leave my information on the message machine and they'd call back. They never called back. I finally called back at 7:30 and was told that maybe they'd be able to do it sometime this afternoon-- which is useless for my purposes (since I need to be out by 9.) I'm sure they do a great job for their seasonal clients but for a one-time emergency situation, all they did was waste time that I could have been spending finding someone else to actually get me out of here. They should have told me they probably couldn't come this morning in the first place.
Description of Work: Not for one-time snow removal

The company charges by the job, not the season and this is one of the reasons I chose them. They have come three of four times this season. I chose to have it shoveled when it is two inches of snow, or more. The first snow was 11 inches and they came early in the am, around 5:30 and cleared everything using a combination of snow blower on the driveway and shovels on the rest. The next couple of times in was less snow and they used only shovels. I appreciation this because they did it around 4:30 am. The price depends on several factors which they spelled out in the written service agreement. I am billed by mail after the completion of the job. I have been very satisfied with their work.

My regular snow removal guy had a lot of trouble with his trucks on the day we got a ton of snow dumped on us. I waited at home for him to come and clear my driveway, at least, but after a day and a half he still hadn't shown up or called me. I called him and cancelled his services and went to Angie's List and got Greg's Lawn Service's information. I called and left a message, he called me back, and within hours the work was done.He mailed me a service contract that I signed and returned. I had to leave town for a couple of weeks and even though I had not yet paid him a single penny, he continued to keep my property clear while we were gone. When I got back, I called to thank him for giving me the benefit of the doubt and he was very friendly and gracious. I am thinking of having him be my new yard person when spring comes. He is cheaper than my old person, just charging by the job and the time it took rather than a flat rate. So far, I couldn't be happier with his services..

Happy to wake up and have the snow clear.
Description of Work: I have to call to clarify the charges for my single service experience. The service and responsiveness was terrific, but given the neighbors already plowed the front sidewalk so lesser inches of snow and it is a small city lot, I did not expect to be charged by inches, as I do not get charged in that fashion for my property.

For the past two years I had been traveling for work an awful lot. I was in desperate need for a snow removal service. I contacted many and none would take me--they were already over-committed. I would contact Greg via phone and leave a message on his voicemail. Occasionally he would contact me if it would take 2-3 days before they could get to me but they always got to me. Their prices were reasonable. I would use them again.
Description of Work: Greg's Lawn Service was called on demand (as opposed to a snow removal contract) after a major snowfall. They cleared sidewalks, the steps and the driveway.

The estimate was not clear. It looks like snow blowing and snow plowing have different rates, and are charged by the hour and 5 minute increments. It doesn't say how deep the snow to start. The handwriting on the estimate is very hard to read. Therefore, we chose another company to do the work.
Description of Work: We recently replaced the asphalt driveway into pavers. So, in order not to scratch the pavers when snowplowing, we contacted Greg's service for estimate. The estimate came via mail.

I had my knee replaced and was unable to do any shoveling or snow removal. Greg and his workers often came during the overnight, before I even realized the snow had fallen, and almost silently cleared all of my sidewalks and the apron for my garage in the alley. I live on a corner lot with a handicap-accessible corner. They cleared the sidewalks to the concrete. Greg and his workers were my heroes last winter and I have contracted with them to do the work again this year. I paid about $50.00 per snowfall and it was worth every penny.

Poor service. It was difficult to get them out, then as I watched, they blew leaves around (including into the neighbors yard), threw a few sticks into the woods, and left. We were unable to reach Greg, although he did send someone back out who, when I answered the door, rudely asked if I had questions. I said no we would hire another service and he turned and left.

Greg is awesome. He is always there for me. A couple of years ago I needed to get my lawn mowed quickly before a party. Greg was able to have it mowed the same day that I called him. I loved it so much that I hired his guys to come weekly. Since then I've had another guy come into my life who wanted to take on the lawn care duties, so I didn't renew Greg's weekly service. However, there are those times when my hubby hasn't done his chores, so I've called Greg. All I need to do is leave a message with my address and what I need. I'm happy to say that Greg's lawn care has always come when requested and done a great job. It is such a nice sight when I get home and the yard looks beautiful.

Greg was prompt and great to deal with on email! Very professional. I was excited to get some help with our lawn while on maternity leave. But his crew arrived and told me they couldn't mow because their main machine was broken. Not a big deal, but 5 minutes later they just started mowing my larger lawn with a very old push mower without saying a word to me. Mind you, they did a GREAT job on my lawn and one person trimmed with absolute precision...but the problem was their price kept changing. At first he told me $60, then halfway through the job told me, "actually it's closer to $65 with tax and stuff." Finally, when I went to write them the check, he said the price was somehow up to $70. It takes my husband about an hour to mow our lawn with a push mower, so it was strange to me how the price kept rising. I did not appreciate the price fluctuation and wanted others to beware that the crew may adjust your price.

It went really well. I've not met anyone from the company, so I appreciate the great reviews he had received. We've not had a lot of snow this year, so I wondered if they'd show up when it finally did. I came home from work and it was all done! I was very happy to not have to deal with the snow after working all day. I plan to use him for lawn work, as well.
