WE SET UP AN ACCOUNT IN ADVANCE, AND THE OWNER TOLD US HE WOULD ONLY MOW THE LAWN AS OFTEN AS NEEDED WHILE WE WERE GONE, AND HE ONLY MOWED ONCE - SO WE WERE VERY SATISFIED THAT THEY DID NOT DO UNNECESSARY WORK WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION. I ALSO LIKE THEIR PHILOSOPHY AND THAT THERE IS AN ORGANIC ALTERNATIVE TO CHEMICAL LAWN COMPANIES, SO WE WILL DEFINITELY USE THESE GUYS AGAIN.

I BEG OF ANGIE'S LIST CLIENTS TO STOP USING THIS COMPANY. THESE COMPANIES MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THERE INCREDIBLY POOR SERVICE AND THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT IS TO STOP USING THEIR SERVICES. IF A COMPANY REP. READS THIS, PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU TO RE-EVALUATE YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR IT IS INCREDIBLY BAD RIGHT NOW. MY STORY - THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD WITH AN ANGIE'S LIST COMPANY. I PHONED THEM 2 WEEKS AGO AND ASKED IF THEY COULD GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE FOR WEEKLY LAWN CUTTING. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE OUT THAT WEEK TO DO SO. BY THE END OF THE WEEK, I HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM THEM SO I PHONED AND WAS TOLD THEY HADN'T GOTTEN TO IT YET BUT WOULD DEFINITELY BE OUT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. I THEN RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE OWNER, JIM, WHO SAID HE HAD LOST MY ADDRESS AND THAT THE COMPANY WOULD BE OUT ON WEDNESDAY FOR THE ESTIMATE. WEDNESDAY CAME AND WENT AND NO WATERSHED. I PHONED JIM WHO ONCE AGAIN SAID THEY HADN'T GOTTEN AROUND TO IT YET. I TOLD HIM TO GET LOST.

WATERSHED RESPONDED WITHIN 24 HOURS BUT I WASN'T AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME. WE EVENTUALLY CAUGHT UP WITH EACH OTHER. WATERSHED INDICATED IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE TO DO WHAT I ASKED. STATED THEY WOULD STOP BY THE NEXT WEEK AND LOOK AT THE LAWN AND LEAVE AND ESTIMATE. I'VE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM AND IT'S BEEN AT LEAST 3 WEEKS.

HE AGREED TO SEND THEM AGAIN TO FINISH THE WORK. THEY DID A GOOD JOB, BUT HE TRIED TO CHARGE ME TWICE FOR THE WORK. HE NEEDS TO WORK ON HIS BOOKKEEPING SKILLS.

Response from Watershed Organic Landscape and Lawn Care
IN RESPONSE TO THE COMMENT THAT I TRIED TO CHARGE THIS CUSTOMER TWICE: I WAS ASKED TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE TO WEED A PARTICULAR AREA, WHICH I DID, AND MY CREW COMPLETED THE WORK. I LATER RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE CUSTOMER ASKING THAT WE REMOVE ALL VEGETATION FROM THE BED, NOT JUST THE WEEDS. THIS WAS ADDITIONAL WORK THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL REQUEST. I INVOICED THE CUSTOMER FOR THE ADDITIONAL WORK, SHE REFUSED TO PAY, AND I VOIDED THE INVOICE, GIVING THE CUSTOMER THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.
