PARK RDG LANDSCAPING

They have not come to do the work we asked them to provide.

I have used Parkridge for a couple years prior to this for lawn cutting and landscaping. I was happy with the work they did, so I of course called them when I needed my yard cleaned up from having 2 trees removed. The owner came out personally to give me a quote for the cleanup, bringing in dirt to fill the holes, and seeding. He said it would be $225 - $250, which I found very reasonable. i agreed to have him do the work. While on the phone with him to find out when they would be coming to do the work, after a lond delay, I had mentioned to him that I wanted to discuss having him weed my landscaping. One day his crew arrives and completely redid my landscaping, removing all mulch and replacing, weeding, and trimming bushes while I was at work without ever talking to me about it, let alone getting my approval. Then, after another long wait, a crew came and cleaned up the debris. I then waited several more weeks for them to return to add the dirt and seed. Then a month or 2 later I received a bill for $1200. I was floored by the amount. i was quoted $250 at most for the cleanup. In the years past, the most I ever paid for them to redo my landscaping was $400 and that was when I needed several bushes replaced because of damage from rabbits. I assumed the bill would be no more than $300 for the landscaping. When I called to discuss the bill with the owner, he said there was a mistake with the bill and he would fix it. The next bill I received was for $800 ($300 for tree cleanup and $500 for landscaping). I again was not happy with the price, especially since I never approved the landscaping. I informed the owner that I was not willing to pay more than 3 times the original quote because he decided on his own, which he fully admitted, to redo my landscaping. He proceeded to threaten my and be very rude on the phone, at which point I told him that I will not pay for the work I did not approve. I sent him a check for the original quote of $250 and will never be calling him again. On top of his trying to over bill me and take advantage of me, they did a lousy job cleaning up from the tree removal. They left tree stump chunks all over my back yard, didn't add enough dirt, and a year later now, no grass is growing. I had to seed it again myself.

They're prompt and efficient. With a little tweaking they completed the job.

Park Ridge Landscaping did the Spring clean up and mulching. They arrived on time and cleaned up the mess upon completion. This is a friendly group.
