Description of Work: They mow grass. Regardless of the need. And the grass gets cut short, very, very short. In fact it's the mechanical equivalent of glyphosate (Monanto's "Roundup"). While mowing the grass they also manage to damage the patio masonry. Repeatedly. They also do expensive fall and spring clean-ups. Since they stopped doing the gardening, our grass returned.

Very satisfied. When I call him, he nearly always returns my call by the end of the day. He is punctual for appointments. The work we requested gets done, usually promptly though occasionally delay of 1-2 weeks for non-routine jobs. He is pleasant to deal with and eager to please. He is a big improvement over our previous gardener.
Description of Work: Provider regularly mows the lawn for $20 a pop. He has also cleaned our gutters and trimmed our bushes (per agreed extra cost). Upon special request, he removed dying tree, cut away excess ivy, and planted grass seed on a bald spot (charges agreed upon in advance).

There are no details because he never returned 3 phone calls. Lousy professionalism. Who would want to hire this company ?
Description of Work: This provider never followed up on three phone calls within 3 weeks. Why does he bother advertising on Angie's list if he does not return calls for business. It is very frustrating to keep calling someone and they do not have the decency to even return a call.

The guy was really good. He was reasonable. He was also reasonable on what I could do with my yard. And I have been very happy so far. He quote me the day after I left the message, he came the day after that. He started that Monday and they would come every week since then. So, everything has been very good so far. My yard was a jungle. I haven't gotten the bill for every week, but he is supposed to be charging me about $20 a week, just to come and mow everything down and weed whack the edges. He did trimming. And anything else I need, I can give him a call and he'll do the extra if I need it.
Description of Work: F & V Landscaping did landscaping and yard work for us.

Their prices are on par with the other landscapers in the area and they do a good job. When we had a medium to large tree fall into the side of our house during Hurricane Sandy, they quickly asked if we wanted them to cut it up and remove it. The price they quoted was actually less than what others were charging, and they did the job the following weekend. Once the warm weather came in April, my husband asked them to clean and trim our entire property; we have a corner house which has a lot of landscaping so it was a big job. They did everything we asked and more that same weekend and charged less than what our friends landscapers charged for smaller jobs! I would definitely recommend them.
Description of Work: We began using F&V when we moved into our new house last year; they were mowing our neighbor's lawn and my husband asked them to mow ours. We have continued to use them on a weekly basis as well as for special projects.

The team showed up initially and did not do everything as specified and actually asked to get paid. There was no supervision on site and they did a poor job in clearing very delicate areas. I called and requested that someone come out and view the work and complete it and properly, Thankfully, the initial clean up was completed adequately just before Superstorm Sandy hit. We waited weeks before contacting them again because of the massive clean up and gas issues but noticed that many landscapers were out in full force after that. Still no show from this group and finally again, had to call because this was now 2 days before Thanksgiving and we were having guests and the pile up of leaves and needles were incredible. They did come a day or two later to clear a small section and pushed the leaves into the street and said that the town would clean it (they don't), The remainder of the clean up would happen that weekend, and it didn't. I have not called again and will have to look for someone else to do this at this late date. Not an easy task.
Description of Work: I called to have general property clean up with pruning and lawn cutting, trimming and edging done. Then a weekly lawn cut and trim before season ended and finally leaf clean up which is very abundant but would be priced separately than the above initially estimate. We agreed on a price for this service. Which after all is said, would have been a fair price.

I called to get a quote. The guy said he would stop by to give me one. I waited and he never showed. He called the next day (Sunday!) to give me a price (he claims he came by but I never saw him and he never rang the bell to talk to me). He was surly and downright nasty. Gave me a price for maintenance and I wanted a price for cleanup. He better get a better attitude! Not spending my money with them.
Description of Work: I wanted a cleanup but he wanted me to sign up on a monthly basis.

I contacted the company and the owner, Frank, quickly responded with a telephone call and visit to my property. We agreed on a price for the services. Within a few days, he arrived with his crew and they completed the yard work. I was very pleased with his professionalism and quality of the work done. Hopefully, I can depend on the company for my yard work in the future.
Description of Work: The company cut my grass.

F and V Landscaping does a great job on my lawn. They come on time and do excellent work. The yard always looks nice when they're done. They do landscaping as well as general lawn care. I would recommend them very highly. Their rates are very competitive. I pay them different amounts depending on what they've done.
Description of Work: They mowed my 1/4 acre yard and planted a tree.

WE WERE VERY SATISFIED WITH HIS WORK AND THE MEN THAT WORK WITH HIM. THEY WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND THEY WILL DO EXTRA CHORES IF WE ASK THEM TO. OF COURSE, IT COSTS MORE, BUT THE PRICE ISN'T TOO BAD.
