FYI In response the Earth Groomers comment. They maintained my lawn, mowing, seeding, weeding, and all others services similar to lawn maintenance. They NEVER worked on my sprinkler system. I have used Jersey Lawn & Sprinkler for many years. I have paid EVERY SINGLE BILL I received from Earth Groomers & can produce all canceled checks is requested. I was the only customer they had down this far & they just didn't want to make the trip here for just one customer. Earth Groomers NEVER notified my by letter & I called their office numerous times and they never responded until I gave them a bad review on Angie's List.
Description of Work: Lawn Maintenance.

Description of Work: He returned my call, was not happy about my location (although his web site said my area was within his service territory). Said he would come out anyway - never heard a word after that.

Are you sure it was Earth Groomers you called? We have no record of you at all? What did you need an estimate for?

I had used Earth Groomers for a couple of years. I think the company was just beginning or only in business for a short time. I thought we were good customers. In fact, the owner had a business mentor and they thought I was a good enough client to invite to a special luncheon with Steve & his mentor to provide helpful, customer related tips on the service of they company. I went, along with a few other clients. Then, my husband & I changed our service to just having Steve mow the lawn and provide spring & fall clean up. That went on for about a year. Then at the end of the summer of 2012 or there about, he just stopped showing up. I made a few phone calls to his office. My calls were never returned. I finally got a new lawn service. Then I posted a review on Angie's List detailing the above problem. Steve fron Earth Groomers posted a reply that he had sent us a letter stating that he was not providing service to out area any longer if the service was under a certain amount of money. I never received a letter from the company. Since I always managed to receive my bill, and yet, I didn't receive this phantom letter. He never addressed the fact that I have made numerous phone calls to his company that went unanswered. Throughout the course of our business relationship, it always too a long time for him to respond to me or give me an estimate when I was having additional work done. I was pretty unhappy about that but I just didn't want to go through the aggravation of looking for someone new so I just stuck it out. The bottom line is, I would not use them again and I would not recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: In the beginning Earth Groomers mowed my lawn, added products to maintain my lawn such as weed killer and such. They also provided spring and fall clean up.

Response from EARTH GROOMERS INC
We provided a sprinkler winterization service for this client each season for several seasons, as we did in the fall 2011 on 11/2/2011 at 9:21am, however the client refused to pay us that year stating she had another company perform the service, after I personally already did it. (they ripped her off, because it was done already, but I imagine she paid them) She was the last client we had in the neighborhood she was living in and since she did not pay her bill we send a letter that we would not be servicing her area any more. We haven't even pursued collections for the unpaid bill and I feel we went above and beyond when we provided service for her, I even cleaned out her dryer vent while winterizing her sprinklers one fall because it had a burning smell, at no charge. I considered them friends and was hurt when she wouldn't pay for a service she asked for and I personally did for them. I'm even more hurt that they feel the need to badmouth my company when I have been nothing but nice to them. I'm very proud of my company and what we do and how we do it. I'm sorry if you didn't get the letter, in the future I will send things like that via certified mail. We did a spring clean up on 3/22/2012. and then sent the letter the next month in April because she refused to pay for the winterization from the previous season, and we didn't have any clients close to her, we would no longer be providing maintenance service to her or her neighborhood. The last time we did any work for her was 3/22/2012, I assumed after receiving the letter she hired someone else or possibly sold her house, why now would you write this?

I am in the middle of the service contract. So far, so good. This was the only company that responded to my request on Angie's list. The owner, Steve, was out the next day. He provided an immediate recommendation and we corresponded on negotiating the services needed. The company is professional, courteous and prompt.
Description of Work: Provide lawn service and weed control.

They were prompt, professional and their prices were competitive. Not being born with a green thumb, I explained what I wanted my yard to look like and Earth Groomers came back with plans detailing my exact vision. They delivered and installed approximately 20 plants, put mulch down throughout the property, repaired our sprinkler system and installed stone to the front and side yard. They did the work when they said they were going to do it and it looks beautiful.
Description of Work: Hurricane Sandy destroyed all of our landscaping. Earth Groomers redesigned/replanted our front, side and back yard.

Can’t actually say they do bad work as it never made it that far. I contacted Earth Groomers and was up front with my job requirements and size. It took a few days to get the e-mailed estimate and then several calls to get a commitment for a site survey. Eventually I gave up calling and in fact they never contacted me back. They did not have the courtesy to be upfront with me if not interested so I could have spent more time finding another landscaper during the time sensitive fall when seeding is ideal.
