It was sub par. I would not recommend them to anyone. I would not use them again. I feel they did not do a good job on my yard and they were not friendly.

r.Arrived on time, checked with me to look at finished work to see if I was satisfied. Did a good job of blowing off sidewalk & driveway. Was surprised to learn that the original estimate didn't include them hauling away the cut off branches and debris. Was charged an extra $10 to have them dispose of it. I had assumed that when you hire someone to trim, they automatically take care of it. I guess they charged me according to how many bags they filled.
Description of Work: They sent me a written estimate of what they would charge. I signed the agreement and sent it back. No money required up front, just our agreement. Took over a week or more before I heard back from them to set up an appointment to do the work. Hired them to trim shrubbery around house, some spirea bushes, a Korean lilac, yew, hydrangeas, sedum, and bed of Tiger lilies. Was a little surprised how much they charged but they were cheaper than my other estimate from someone else so I guess that's the going rate.

****This is just a quick update to let folks know I hired Greg's Lawn Service again just this week to finish out the 2012 lawn mowing season for us. I called yesterday and said we were looking for weekly help for the rest of the season. Since they provided our service last year, they knew the property. I asked if there was any way they could start yet this week. And -- the crew was at our house today! I highly recommend Greg's Lawn Service! This is the best money I spend each week! I left a voicemail for Greg, he followed up with a letter and contract in the mail after coming out to look at the size of our property. After that we had one phone call about details and they have been working like clock work each week. I was able to request a specific day of the week for my service to coincide with our garbage pick up (for the lawn clippings). We have a slightly oversized Minneapolis city lot (we don't have an alley like most in the city). The lawn mowing is straight forward. When it was wet early in the summer, they bagged the grass each week and left the bags in our driveway for us. Now, they just mulch the grass. I did call ask them to start bagging the back yard again last week because the grass gets pretty messy in back - I just left a voicemail and the next week the grass was bagged. I also had to change the schedule one week - just left a voicemail and they came at the new time. While our mowing is straighforward, our lawn takes a lot of edging - we have a fenced yard and numerous flower beds. They do a wonderful job making everything look perfect! They send a 3 person crew - one mows the front, one mows the back, and one does the edging. I am usually not home when they are there, but they often are getting started as a I leave for work. I think it takes them just about an hour. This same work takes my husband and I about 2-3 hours working together. I did a lot of research and Greg's was the most affordable lawn service that I found - and they do spectacular work!
Description of Work: I hired Greg's lawn service to mow my lawn weekly in 2011 and again in 2012. They also do the edging and trimming. The cost is about $45 per week.

When I came home from work they had already been there and my lawn looked so nice. That's prompt service!!!! It just really makes my day to come home to a mowed lawn. I've used Greg for about 3 years for lawn mowing and snow removal. They're reliable, quick, leave the yard tidy - no grass on the sidewalks, and do a marvelous job of trimming around the fence. I've also used them to clean up brush and trim bushes. I do all my arrangements with Greg by email - I just send him a list of what I need done, he sends me a quote and when I get home it's done. I'm a very happy customer and I highly recommend his service!
Description of Work: I emailed Greg today with a request to start my lawn mowing service for this year. I was late getting the agreement in this year and wasn't sure if or when he'd be able to fit me in.

I first called Greg's Lawn Service during the terrible snow storms we had in December. I was travelling at the time and I was afraid that I was going to get a ticket from the city if I didn't get my sidewalk cleared. Greg called me back and told me he was swamped but he could get to me a few days. He did and ever since then I've been calling Greg on an incident by incident basis. His service is always punctual and they do a great job!

I used Greg's for two years and had good service. Fall of 2010, I was contacted by another company that offered very inexpensive rates and decided to try them. The first two (fairly minor) snowfalls went fine, but when the snow really hit, they were nowhere to be found. They did not even answer phone calls or send an email. I had no idea what was going on, but I was snowed into my garage. I called Greg and begged to be his customer again. He said he was not looking for more business, but I think he heard the desperation in my voice and accepted me back into his fold. Greg's employees usually have me shoveled out shortly after the snow stops/fades. At one point, I contacted him and requested he send a crew back again after the snowplows blocked my sidewalks/driveway, and he did. Can you find someone less expensive? Maybe, but that didn't work out so well for me. BUT, for dependability and punctuality, Greg can't be beat.
Description of Work: Snow removal; removal of rock-hard snowplow berms. The boxes regarding cost and service dates do not allow for a variable service on a variety of dates.

I cannot tell you how great they are. In the fall they cleared the leaves without my even asking. If there is a snow fall that ends in the middle of the night, I wake up and my walks and driveway are shoveled. And if you email or call Greg in the middle of a snowstorm, he gets back to you. You can choose the level of service you want and their pricing is reasonable. Ultra reliable. Run don't walk to Greg's services if you need help.

They came & shoveled after our first heavy snow in November and that charge was $44. They (there were 4 guys) were just here shoveling out after our 17+inches. They cleared it all...even the huge mounds from the plow. I have not yet gotten the bill, but I can't imagaine how long it would have taken me to move all that snow

Do not waste you time calling this guy.
Description of Work: I asked for a quote for snow plowing. I received a form with hourly rates for 9 separate services, but there was no clear "estimate" line. In the white space on the right he wrote 1-4" avg snow 65.00 + up. This is over double the other 3 estimates I received. I called and left messages several times to insure that this was his estimate, but he never returned my calls.

They were not punctual which is why I didn?t hire them. The person that came out to do the estimate was not the slightest bit friendly. With other companies, I would show them what I wanted and they would suggest other things as well. This guy told me they don?t do several of the jobs I was asking for. This was right before Memorial Day so I told him that I hope he has a good holiday and he told me he was trying to get out of there so he could. He was just darn rude.
Description of Work: Greg’s Lawn Service did an estimate for me. The quote included installing edging, putting mulch and chips down, pruning and trimming shrubs, and weeding.

They always do a good job and are reliable.
Description of Work: Greg's lawn service mowed and trimmed our yard when we called. They were prompt and are always responsive when you need them. We usually use them for snow removal and call them whenever we need them now for snow, or mowing since we typically do our own. There are times when we cannot do either and Greg is flexible and understanding, without making you feel obligated to use them on a regular basis like most services. We've used them for years and will continue to do so.

I'm very happy with the work. I will say that Greg's not a phone person. When I placed the first call to Greg, he didn't call me back and I thought he blew me off. But about three days later I found an estimate in my mail box with a contract for me to sign if I wanted his service. I signed it and mailed it to him and again, no phone call confirming or anything. But a week after mailing it, they showed up on a Saturday and have been coming every Friday am or Saturday am since. He did return my call though when the guys missed a few noticeable spots.
Description of Work: Greg's workers show up once a week to cut the lawn, trim and take the clippings away. (My garbage hauler can't take them.) They do very good work, but miss a spot or two once and a while. I had to call Greg once and they came out the next day to take care of it. If you're expecting perfection each time, you may want to try a more expensive company. I have a good sized property and it's $45 a cut and trim, which is pretty good in my opinion. I love the free time it has afforded me. As the grass slows down over the summer, they'll adjust the cutting times to as needed. I'll probably have them do snow removal this winter as well.

I was impressed with the quality of the work from the start. They were very thorough, cleaned up sticks and branches, and the first time around in the spring, when there was a significant amount of leaves and other debris to be raked up, they cleaned up and bagged that, and hauled it away for an additional fee (at my request). When mentioning that it costs $45 each time to people who know the size of my yard, they initially seem to think that is took expensive, particularly when it usually only takes me 30-40 minutes to mow it myself. But I remind them, that unlike Greg's crew, I rush through it, don't do a very good job, and I don't do any trimming around trees, landscaping, etc. They, on the other hand, are meticulous, yet fast and efficient.
Description of Work: Greg's crew started mowing my lawn in the spring and we worked out a schedule of about every 10 days since it was relatively dry most of the season. My yard is a fairly decent size, with plenty of trimming to be done, as well, and the cost was $45.00 each time
