We are quite displeased with Whispering Pines. We contracted them for the entire 2014-2015 snowplowing season paying in advance, but he only showed up twice and both times quite late after my wife had already left for work. Then he completely vanished for over a month and through three major snowstorms, forcing us to hire someone else. This was very difficult and expensive that late in the year.... I had to pay a full season price to someone else to finish out the season. To make matters worse, Whispering Pines destroyed our driveway on his first plow of the season by having the plow blade too low. This pushed literally tons of gravel onto our grass in huge piles. He promised to clean this up in the spring in writing over email, but never did anything. I offered to accept simply a partial refund from him for not completing the snowplowing season and he never responded. I asked several times if he would clean up the huge piles of gravel in my yard, he never responded. I haven't heard from him in months and at this point, other than legal action which we are considering, writing this review appears to be our only recourse. Patrick, please contact us if you wish to resolve this matter in an amicable way, in which case we'll update this review. Thank you.

Never showed up. Refused to give us back payment for fertilization services after we told him we were no longer interested in using his services at all due to never showing up, lawn overgrown and weedy. Always had an excuse why he couldn't be there. Always a death in the family or some other emergency. I had an and quot;unconditional satisfaction guaranteeand quot; but that did not include firing him and hiring someone else. Did not want him on my property.
Description of Work: Supposed to do weekly lawn care and fertilization

This customer still owed me money for the work done. We mowed the lawn every other week as agreed upon with Mr. [removed member name]. Because of our services the Chinchbug issues cleared up right away and the thatching helped bring life back into the lawn. After the second treatment on the property it looked beautiful! I have the pictures of the property to prove our services.

Over priced and did not listen to what I really wanted done with my yard. Didn't cut weepers I wanted cut (I don't think they had the equipment), never lowered price because they didn't cut weepers. Cut an evergreen I specifically told owner to leave alone. Underestimated mulch required and weeds grew back within weeks. Had to hire The Girls and More to redo yard, and they did exactly what I wanted.
Description of Work: They came and gave an estimate and I was very clear that I had another contractor that was going to handle a tall evergreen at the corner of my lot and that I wanted some weeper bushes CUT down level with a retainer wall. The crew worked hard and diligently weeding an extremely overgrown back yard and did a very good job. Every day (of about 10 days) I reminded the owner and crew I wanted the weeper bushes CUT. Bottom line, the owner misjudged the amount of mulch needed, and weeds grew back within weeks, the weepers were never cut completely, (The were trimmed as good as I had done myself. The Girls and More did an excellent job of that afterwards ), Then I happened to walk out just as his crew were cutting the evergreen I told them to leave alone. If you want work done you didn't specify and not have work done that you really wanted done, this is the crew for you. And for a very high price.

We worked on this property for over 2 weeks. The property had been let go for over 3 years. The landscaping on the property is very extensive with detail to high end plants, Stone walls and walkways. The estimate was put together with the customer and agreed upon before any work was started. I had recommended to put Landscape fabric throughout the mulch beds during the time of services. The customer had refused to do this services, in return the weeds will grow back. We tried to offer a monthly services for property maintenance being the customer would be away out of town for the balance of the summer but [member name removed] didn't want the expense to do this, She had a family member that would be taking care of the property. We too pictures of the property before the job started and at the end of the job. What a beautiful job the crew did!
