DAWN & THE BUSY BEES LLC

Both experiences we've had with Dawn and the Busy Bees have been very positive. Dawn is responsive and open to ideas while providing professional knowledge and advice. She and her staff are punctual and the work was completed in a timely manner. The quality of work is great with a beautiful result.

I love this crew! Dawn and her three assistants arrived when they said they would and got right to work. Dawn even got a blister planting all those bulbs! They put the stones that I was having removed in the back of my property where I asked them to put them. Used even more woodchips in my perennial garden than I thought they would be able to do and nicely shaped the paths. Also took some dirt I had on hand and filled as many of the stone removal holes as they could and put grass seed on some of them (not part of original request). Pulling out the baby maples, etc., was a task I requested after they arrived--not part of the original request--they did it willingly and only charged me a small amount of money to do this. I thought their price was very reasonable for the entire job and they got everything done in one day.

Excellent. Dawn and crew where prompt and professional and the cost was very reasonable. Looking forward to utilizing their services again next year.

These four young people did a beautiful job. I could not be more satisfied.

This area of my yard was a giant mess and they made it look great. They took the time to weed out from the roots. I have had landscapers who just cut down weeds with a weed whacker, but this team did it the right way. They planted some trees for privacy and some hostas, and cut down some branches to bring more sun into the area. They also cleared the leaves. I was very happy with their work and would not hesitate to call them in the future. They were courteous and worked very h****** a hot, humid day.

Excellent experience. Dawn's response to my post on Angie's List was timely. She and her team arrived at the agreed upon time and worked non stop until the job was completed. As they were working their way around the property, Dawn had additional suggestions, which I found very helpful. I highly recommend this company and plan to use them for future jobs.

They arrived on time, worked quickly, cleaned up all the pruning. They checked in with me a few times to confirm what needed to occur in certain areas. The owner knows plants and I have a rather extensive garden though it's small. If you need a crew who knows the difference between a weed and a self sown annual or perennial, this is the company to hire.

It was a pleasure doing business with this company. They arrived on the scheduled date promised, which is very important to me! They were very professional and did everything and more than we had talked about when I had the estimate done. They were very careful about cleaning up, left no mess for me to deal with after. I would highly recommend this company! Thanks for the great job!

The Girls & More provided excellent service. We called 4 or 5 vendors and only 2 returned our call. TG&M was very responsive and returned all follow-up phone calls and e-mails promptly. The workers arrived as scheduled and worked hard. They completed all the work in under two days. We have extensive landscaping and they are always full of leaves, hedge clippings, and other debris. It's a lot of work to clean and mulch. The yard looks fabulous! We couldn't be more satisfied. We highly recommend.

We were not particularly impressed. The stone looked good but since then- they put like a metal barrier around it and that has been raising, I don't know if that's their fault or it is just the ground we live in. We thought that it was expensive-part of that could have just been the stones. They trimmed bushes and things and there were pieces of bushes left on top and so it looked sloppy.

All went great. They showed up when expected and worked tirelessly to clean out the gardens, trim trees and shrubs, spray areas infested with poison ivy, and place Preen to reduce weeds in the spring. They will be returning in the spring to install new landscape plantings.

I have used Dawn and her team before with excellent results prior to my daughter's wedding. Enjoyed working with them, fair price, will be using them consistently as long as they are in business!!

She was supposed to come by and give me an estimate on 9/11/14 to remove weeds. She never called me with an estimate. Typical bad work-ethic.

Did not use services but got voice mails on two different days, left a message, and no response. Ended up going with Larry Landscaping and was very happy with my choice

I've been using The Girls and More regularly for a couple of years now. They are by far, the best landscaping/weeding company I've ever had in the 15 yrs living with my "challenged" landscaped acre yard. ( Almost the whole acre is landscaped and tiered) They do everything I ask, how I want it. She arrived with a large crew. They are professional, steady workers. The attitude of the whole crew is very pleasant. No one seems disgruntled or down beat. (a rarity). My yard looks stunning. They work in all kinds of weather (except thunderstorms of course). Their "can do", Get er done attitude is once again a rarity in this business. I really like that she treats for weed regrowth, so return maintence is kept at a very resonable rate. Although not cheap, I feel her charges are fair, considering she brings a crew in and is done within a day (weather permitting), with very professional looking results. Scheduling can be challenging because it's so sensitive to weather. But Dawn and her company have never let me down.

Dawn and crew were very efficient in removing two rows of hedges from my home. They came back the next day with a stump grinder to get the roots up from my front hedges. Would hire them again, great job.

Overall it went well. They worked on a blistering hot day and got it done before the first storm hit. They were extremely cooperative and friendly. Dawn has a good eye for what is appealing and what will work well. I'd hire her and her team again.

Went very well. Dawn and her crew did a great job and the landscaping around our house is very neat and professional-looking.

So far its good. They do it every year for me.

Dawn and crew were wonderful and did a great job. We had to ask for the edging to be a little bit more pronounced, but other than that they did a great job and I would hire them again.

Dawn and her crew came out on 2 separate days, once in May and again in June. They did a fantastic job on my half-acre lot. Every little weed was removed, trees and shrubs were trimmed and look great. She really helped me get the yard look great, which, as the sole owner of the property, was a huge help. I have a large yard with many, many plant and shrub beds, so even the rake-out and weeding is just too big a job for me given other commitments. The larger jobs, such as re-habbing my rock garden, were done extremely well. In May her crew came and weeded the whole bed, and removed an annoying (and large) spread of a groundcover plant. In June, she returned with 3-4 guys to rake off the existing rocks, excavate and then level the soil bed, install heavy duty landscape cloth, and then re-rake on the old rocks plus 3 cu yds of new ones. Everything was cleaned up well after the work was completed. She also had her crew dig in a new length of storm water drainage pipe in the rear corner of my yard. This was not easy as the pipe had to be installed under some large trees, yet they managed to dig the trench, line it with gravel and silt cloth, then re-cover it with soil. They connected the pipe to an existing (owner-installed) drain box under the grass, then re-seeded the grassy area. They cut down a overgrown and unattractive arborvitae (about 12' tall and with a trunk about 8" in diameter). They couldn't remove the stump but did grind it. I was able to subsequently plant some new shrubs and flowers there (with a little effort to clear roots). On another large (40 ft) pine, they removed some limbs that were overgrowing a neighbor's shrubs. In May, Dawn's crew limed my grass, and within a week it was greening up very nicely. In June, when her crew completed my big jobs, they also fertilized/weed treated all of my trees, shrubs and planting beds. Dawn also made several suggestions as to types of shrubs/plants I should consider planting to re-fresh the landscaping, and which would thrive in shady areas of my yard.. I will be putting my house on the market next Spring and will most certainly be calling The Girls and More to help me make my yard look wonderful.

Dawn did a very good job and all went well. She was true to her word and very responsive with her year guarantee.

Dawn & her team arrived punctually and worked non-stop for appx 5-6 hours. There was a lot of cleaning up to do, but beyond that, I wanted advice from a professional. Before the arranged date of service Dawn & I communicated via Angie's List messaging. I asked a a lot of questions & she was terrific giving me advice on what to do, and what plants to buy. This is my first house, & I'm not an experienced gardener so this is why I turned to Angie's List for someone I could count on. Because of some extenuating circumstances in my life I could afford to do the work I had planned, but when Dawn & her team were done I was SO pleased. My house is beautiful on the inside and now it's beautiful on the outside. I shopped around and their prices are much higher than the competition, but I was looking for quality first. So I highly recommend The Girls & More! Thanks Dawn and my thanks to the guys! Mia misses them!!

We scheduled to meet on a weekday (I can't recall which day but it was approximately May 6) at 5:30 PM, soon after I would arrive home from work. I received a call from Dawn that day at 4:30 PM, stating she was at my house. I was still at work. We had a brief phone consultation, and Dawn said she would get back to me with some estimates. We played phone tag for a couple days. The last time I left her a voice mail, I gave her my email address, asking that she send me the estimate that way since we were having no luck trying to reach each other on the phone. That was the last I heard from her.

Total Failure. I made two appointments, took time off of work to meet them twice, neither day scheduled did anyone show OR CALL. We are talking about raking leaves and my property is 4 miles from their business location. First no show with no call I contacted them and asked what happened, I was told it was raining (barely) and windy so they could not rake leaves so could they reschedule, I reminded them I was taking time off off work to meet them since they do not work on weekends. On the second scheduled appointment that I agreed to let them try again, there was no rain that day only a wet lawn from the prior days rain, only clouds on a day rain was scheduled overnight, no call, no show after taking a second 1/2 day off of work to meet them. Leaves do not need to be dry to rake so we were forced to rake them ourselves on the memorial weekend as we have done every prior year, 4 hours work since wet leaves are actually easier to collect and drag off the lawn. can not recommend. will never use, beware.
