If I could rate this business less than 1 star, I would. Michael comes to visit in August to assess brown lawn spots. Treats in October; re-seeds lawn. Offered to return to revisit bare spots but NEVER did. Promised to send lawn care proposal (NEVER DID) Said he would return in Nov/Dec but gave lame excuses (too busy cleaning leaves; really??) After multiple phone calls and "empty promises" via texts I left this for Spring. Revisited again a few weeks ago as I paid him $2300 for services that were never fully completed. Lawn has bare spots still!! Three phone calls and multiple texts later, he's juvenile in his approach to his business. Doesn't return phone calls and sent 3 texts as to when he might call back--- but never does. STAY AWAY--textbook case study in horrible business practices.
Description of Work: Treated lawn that had brown spots due to insects and re-seed lawn in Fall; was hoping for good result to consider for possible lawn maintenance in spring and summer.

I phoned Good Look Landscaping looking to have the following work done. Grass Cut Yard Cleanup Bushes Trimmed Grounds edged The work was urgently needed since I had been hospitalized out of town for most of the summer. Michael, the owner, came by the property and did an estimate and claimed the work could be done in a single visit. They did none of these things. They made an attempt to clean up the leaves. But, even though they claim to have been in business 50 years, failed to properly detect my property lines and left an entire section of the yard undone. In addition: 1) They did not mow the lawn as they had agreed 2) They did not edge the patio and walkways as they had agreed 3) They left a bunch of debris in the front yard, claiming that their equipment could not cart away branches (really? Other landscapers don't seem to have a problem with that) 4) They did not trim the shrubs as they had agreed 5) They left a large limb in the back yard 6) And, most horribly, they disrespected my property. They knocked down my lawn chairs and bags of peat moss and didn't even bother to pick it up. I guess they've never heard of leaving places better off than w Keep in mind, Michael claimed to be able to do all of the above work. His response when I called him on this shoddy, half-*** job was the following gem: ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Michael Iorio<...> Date: Mon, Nov 11, 2019 at 4:35 PM Subject: Re: Landscape proposal To: Sylvia I<...> Just for the record before you cut the lawn to do that work the property needed to be cleaned up you had a ton of leaves and debris there that’s what we came in did today then it could be cut and edged etc. but first it needed to be cleaned but I guess you didn’t understand how elect professional landscaper works because the property looks a mess like you never had a professional there we’ve been in business for over 50 years and take care of multi million dollar homes so we know what we’re doing Sent from my iPhone Do yourself a favor, avoid these lazy snowflakes. They are not worth anyone's time or money.
THEY'VE HAD SOME CHANGES IN OWNERSHIP, BUT THESE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS THEY WERE EXCELLENT. THEY'VE BEEN CONSISTENT IN THEIR JOB. THEY COME EVERY WEEK NOW AND HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD.
Description of Work: IT IS LOCAL MAINTENANCE OF THE LAWN AND THEY TRIM THE BUSHES A COUPLE OF TIMES A YEAR.
