Grady Hedrick Landscaping & Hydro Seeding

Called for quote! Received in a few days Little more in dollars but their reputation preceeds the slightly higher costs and quality of work and results! Great work crew of two Ugly big lake front yard brought back to life within 60-days Spectacular results...many boats go by to stare! Will use again in fall and next year to get started

Grady came at the appointed time to see the yard and give me an estimate, even though it was pouring rain. We went through the yard together as I showed him the boundaries of the property and discussed what I needed done. His company normally does work for commercial enterprises, so they are very busy. I was disappointed that he wouldn't be able to get anyone to me before April 16th, but he planned for 3 guys and was sure he could get it all done in one day. On April 8th, Grady called and told me he had a clear spot and if it was okay with me, he'd come with a team to begin working that very day. I agreed, and shortly after that he showed up with two guys in another truck. He walked them around the yard telling them what we'd agreed on. At that point they noticed a dead tree and told me they'd be taking that out too, with my permission (which I gave, of course). Grady checked with the guys to see if they felt they needed any equipment they had not brought - they asked for a wheelbarrow. He left and they went to work (he returned later with the wheelbarrow). They worked steadily up to lunch time, took a break, and then went back to it. The pile of yard debris got larger and larger. By the time they were done, the pile extended the full width of my property on the street. When they were done, they asked me to inspect their work, and I was amazed at how different the yard looked. It still needed mowing, and they planned to return another day to finish that. My experience ends up with a mixed review. 1) The work was well done and the guys worked hard and steadily. I loved that they asked me out to check the work before they left. A 2) They did the work much sooner than I thought they would be able to do it - A+ 3) The final bill was about $300 less than I expected, because the team was 2 guys instead of the proposed 3 guys. A + 4) I didn't hear from them for too long about the lawn mowing, and since parts of it got up to my knees, I got frustrated and hired someone else to do it (who is now doing it on a regular basis for me - Grady's estimated price was too high for my pocket). About 2 days after it was mowed, a team came to mow it and I sent them away. B 5) They did not remove the debris as they should have, and left it to the City to remove it. I'm waiting to see if the City is going to send me a bill for that excess debris. C 6) It seemed to take a long time to get a bill (almost a month later), though if Grady does his books once a month, that makes sense. A- In the end, I was very satisfied with the work done and definitely happier with the bill than I'd expected, and I'm hopeful the City won't bill me for the debris removal. I do recommend this company, but people do need to be aware that they do not normally do non-commercial work.

They also do landscaping, taking down trees, etc. They put in the sprinkler system originally. They were good.
