Received quote on 3/23/16. Agreed to fee and scope on 3/24/16. Michael replies "Great! I will schedule the work and a week before we start I can drop by and pick up the deposit for the work. I will be in touch." Monday, 3/28 - "I've scheduled you in. We are about 1-2 weeks out. I will come by for the deposit a couple days prior to starting the work." 4/11 - "I'm hoping to have the work done next week.. All this rain has kept is backed up.. I will pass by later this week for a deposit." 4/17 - "Yes I can come by Tuesday to pick up Job deposit." As of Tuesday 4/19, Michael did not come by to pick up the deposit. I have been strung along for about one month for my landscaping needs. I would avoid Bennett Landscaping at all costs.
Description of Work: I requested a quote for a spring clean-up and other pruning work needed in my lawn. Michael Bennett seemed responsive to get my work and was easy to deal with when agreeing to the scope of work and fee. I received my quote on 3/23/16 and agreed to the scope on 3/24/16. Ever since, we have been waiting for the work to be completed. We were told the work would be complete in 1 to 2 weeks and that "you are on the schedule." I have never been so disrespected in all of my dealings with Contractors. I would avoid Bennett Landscaping at all costs, unless you have a project that fits their exact needs.

Michael is very professional and knows his business. He took charge and told me exactly what was need for my lawn since the entire area of New Jersey was in a drought. My front lawn was very dry and most parts were dead. Michael has all the equipment to perform Thatching and Aeration. Most landscapers have to rent these type of machines. For a added bonus Michael will trim a few shrubs for no added cost to the project. Bennett Landscaping did my neighbors property's and did a beautiful job on their lawns. I will get Bennett Landscaping for the future.

Though there was an initial delay from the signing of a contract to the start of work. I was very pleased with the work when it was started and completed and performed in a timely fashion. . The owner was friendly and professional and accommidating to my landscaping needs, insofar that I have contracted monthly for the cutting and care if my lawn. Would not hesitate to recommend him for his landscaping services.

I saw a sign in a neighbor's yard and thought the landscaping looked nice so gave them a call. Mike returned my phone call and set up a time to meet with me that afternoon. He never showed up and never called. I waited around all afternoon for him. Very disappointing.

After contacting several landscapers, all highly-rated on Angie's List, I decided to hire Michael and his team because of the time and energy he took listening to my specific concerns and answering my questions. He was very thorough in his approach, and the work performed was excellent. So much so, that I now plan on continuing to use his lawn maintenance services on a monthly basis. Thanks for a job well done!

They had a couple of good reviews on the site and I met with the guy. His prices were good. I gave them a shot and I like the work they did so I stuck with them. I like the responsiveness of the owner and the contact is directly with the owner. They're an all around good company.
Description of Work: They do weekly maintenance for us. I also pay for their fertilization program.

Michael and his crew were fantastic! He did a large job for us including ripping out old shrubs and replanting two large beds with new plants, tree's, and flowers. From initial consultation to implementation he was great. In addition he helped fix our sprinkler system. The attention to detail was awesome. We will definitely have him back in the future.

Description of Work: They did a huge landscaping job that invoked new beds, new shrubs, trees and a vegetable garden. Absolutely professional, on time and beautiful work. We hired them to cut our lawn because we liked them so much. You can't go wrong with Michael and his guys, they are great!

I originally attempted to reseed my lawn with little success. I called a few places for estimates and Michael was one of the first to get back to me and come to see the property. After deliberating and reviewing the estimates that I'd received, I decided to select Bennett Landscaping for the job. Michael was able to accommodate my schedule for this job. He kept me updated about his team's arrival and they worked diligently to re-leveled the the front lawn, put down fresh soil, treated the yard with lime and grub control, then put down the sod. He provided instructions on how to maintain the sod during the first critical weeks and also offered to check in within a couple of weeks to make sure that the sod has started to root and that we are still satisfied. Our neighbors have commented on how nicely the project came out. The new lawn transformed the property and gave us "curb appeal".

The spring cleanup experience was very pleasant. Michael was very quick to respond to my inquiry and his team did a great job very shortly after contacting them( it was a Holiday weekend). The experience was so easy and the job done well. We have since decided to start a weekly lawn maintenance and lawn care as well. Thanks Michael!

My husband called Bennett Landscaping yesterday and left a message. Within 40 minutes he received a call back, we were quite impressed at the responsiveness. Mike Bennett said he was leaving Mountainside and can be at our home in Cranford within 20-25 minutes. It is now 24 hours later, he has yet to arrive. VERY DISAPPOINTING & UNPROFESSIONAL and not even a call to explain the delay. My husband called twice yesterday and emailed.

Response from Bennett Landscaping LLC
Yes, thank you for not giving me time to respond back.. I went to doctor the next day and I was very sick with a virus that is going around... That is why I was unresponsive for the past 24hrs.. Thank you.. And I'm always responsive like you said in the first part of your message, it just so happen to be bad timing and I had gotten sick and was unable to follow through with our visit !!

While I mowed my own lawn I used Bennett Landscaping for fall and spring cleanup including mulching. A number of others on the block also used Bennett and I was always happy with the price and service.

It went very smoothly. The yard was covered with sticks and twigs from the October storm. These got cleaned up no problem. We have many bushes that they cleanup out from under and behind as well.
