Oakwood Lawn & Landscaping

Oakwood Lawn & Landscaping has helped us out twice: Last summer they did drainage work to direct rainwater away from the house, and this year they sprayed to kill an invasive weed that was taking over a very large garden, choking out all other plants. They did this while killing only very little of the periwinkle, which I want to keep. Both jobs were handled professionally, with no surprises, for reasonable prices. We'll definitely hire them again.

Very good, were here in time for me to make it to my Doctor's appointment

Highly recommend. Jeff came out and struck me as being very knowledgeable and excited about his work. Jeff and John came up with a plan for my landscaping that fit my requests. Crew was great, fast and professional. One of the shrubs died after they planted it, but when they came by to do something else at the house, they noticed it and replaced it even though I hadn't even had a chance to call them about it - highly impressed by a company that takes this kind of pride in their work.

Scheduled the work. The workers did come the week that was 'guestimated'. Received call a day before workers came to advise. Workers arrived promptly and went over the work to be done with me. Everyone was really nice. So nice, in fact, that they were happy to preserve some plantings for me that were to be dug up. They dug them up and I divided and placed into temporary pots. That was such a big help that I didn't think was part of the job, so I appreciated it. The workers were so fast and efficient with their excavating (which they did by hand) and installation. It was clear they had done many jobs such as this. They worked steadily that day, then rain was coming, so they made everything ready for that and departed. They returned the next day to finish the job, since the rain had stopped. They left everything very tidy and minimized any damage to my lawn or other areas. They even left a little retaining border along my sidewalk and some nice stepping stones to my faucet. So helpful!! While we haven't had a real heavy set of rains yet, it is clear that this work is remedying the problems that I was having. Very pleased. I used them a few weeks later to mulch the beds that I had replanted. It looks great and was very reasonably priced. I plan to use again for mulching in spring.

Bottom line, they were good, not great. Somewhat expensive. Person out for estimate seemed impatient. Didn't return as requested for some changes. We were comfortable waiting for their availability. Did call before showing up and worked hard while here. Nice person onsite who responded OK to a few additions, but didn't complete everything asked. Mulching OK.. When finished just left. No one asked us to walk around yard and check work. If you're proud of your work, you don't just walk away. For the price, one should expect a little more attentive service.

The third week of March I sent John Henehan an email and pictures of one of the drains and pop-up they installed last year. The winter freeze/thaw cycle had caused the drain to rise above the surface of the ground a bit in several places. John agreed that it may be necessary after an especially harsh winter to redo the line. He said he would send out the same crew that had installed the drain last April and charge me a maintenance fee. Several days later Mike came out and we discussed what would be done. On March 30th Mike and his crew dug up the line, set it aside and redug the trench. They did the same for the pop-up drain at the curb. The following day they returned to put the drain back in the tench and cover it with new gravel. At the curb the used fresh mulch around the pop-up. On Friday, after steady rain on Thursday, John called to see how everything was working. I told John the drains appeared to be working great and asked about the bill. John said there would be NO CHARGE. Oakwood was going to take care of it as normal maintenance! (we did agree to a maintenance charge next year if we had another tough winter) What a great company to work with - I couldn't be more pleased.

We were very pleased with it. It was very good. They do what they said they would do and it was right away.

Had a discrepancy between the estimate and final bill but after speaking with Jeff issue resolved. Pop up drain covers we unseating. I called and explained the issue, Jeff had his guys out within a couple days to resolve the issue. Overall, the service was very good. The only drawback is that it took a month from the time I received an estimate and when the company came out to do the job.

Would not recommend this company. They are very unprofessional.

Jeff (Henehan) did the estimates himself. He personally followed up after the jobs were done with another house call to resolve a concern. The estimate calls were excellent. Jeff explained everything in great detail and gave very reasonable estimates. The work was completely quickly and professionally within a couple of weeks of the estimates - as promised. After two months there was an issue with one of the drains. Jeff came out to assess the situation in less than a week after I called. He agreed that the drain needed to be adjusted and sent out a full crew in less than ten days. The crew (led by Mike) redug the path of the pipe and added several swales. Mike replaced the original gravel with larger size. I expected to pay for the addition of the swales, but Jeff insisted the work was to be done at no charge (on a Saturday)! I would use Oakwood Lawn & Landscaping again without hesitation. Their knowledge, professionalism and expert work crews are beyond reproach. In these days when homeowners feel lucky when a contractor returns their call - it is wonderful to deal the Jeff and his company!

A two person crew showed up first thing in the morning that service was scheduled and got right to work. Yard was cut and the driveway and side walk areas were edged and the yard looked great. Service was performed bi-weekly and I will be using them again starting in the spring for the same services.

Owner was great to work with and price very reasonable for amount if work completed. My only complaint was they didn't fully clean up paving stones they needed move.

They did what they said would do. They did a fine job. They cleaned up after themselves. They were punctual.

They did a great job! I hired them based on their good reputation. My parents needed help maintaining their yard and Oakwood took care of everything for them!

The crew showed up when expected. The time allocated and the final cost exceeded the estimate because they agreed to additional work once the crew had arrived. I don't know if they are a little more expensive than their competitors but we were satisfied with their work. The yard looked very nice and all the yard waste was removed by them. We would use this company again.

Charged me $80/hr and started the charges before they even started the work. I feel like they wasted at least 25 minutes just walking around and not doing any work. No one told me about the $30 fee for them to come to my home or the $25 for the hauling fee. They charged me $10 to work on my driveway and they didn't even do the whole driveway. I am confused as of why I got the driveway charge when I paid an hourly fee. When you are paying 480/hr, you wouldn't expect to look out at the workers and see someone wasting time smoking a cigarette. On top off all of this they charged me $26.25 in tax but I am not sure it that is accurate either.

Called and requested an estimate to remove and replace shrubs and groundcover. Person who answered the phone stated she wasn't sure the owner serviced our area which is approximately 30 minutes away and promised to check with the owner and call me the following day.. No call back.

The only reason I didn't give an 'A' overall was that it took a while from the time I got my estimate until the time the work was actually completed and necessitated several phone calls on my part. The work however, is great.

They do a great job. They are very responsive. I will absolutely continue to use them.

He did it enough for me to get out of my driveway, however, he wasn't able to get it all up. I have a small driveway, and I feel that I was overcharged. UPDATE: 1/21/13 I called Oakwood Lawn about the snow removal, and he said to send him whatever I felt was adequate for the job that was done. He said he was tired of hearing about money, and I could tell that he was getting other complaints about the price. The original price was $64.00 with. I sent him $44.00 for the job that he did, but I would still not hire him again.

They showed up when they said they would, did a quick and thorough job, cleaned up, and left. Nothing more to it.

I originally contacted via phone to request a lawn aeration. The receptionist was pleasant, then asked me if I needed someone to come out to give estimate or simply schedule the work and be billed later. I chose to schedule, and be billed. About 1 month passed and when I returned home from work, I noticed the work had been completed. Did quality job, and cleaned all debris. recieved bill in mail within 1 week, and was pleasantly surprised by the 100.00 fee as my yard is almost an acre. Will hire again in the future and would recommend to a friend.

I went with another "company" to kill and reseed my front lawn. Four months later they finally came and did the job. Two months later-what a mess, no grass and the "company" no where in sight. I called Oakwood and explained my problem. Though they do not normally come this far north, they came out very promtly to give me an estimate. Within two weeks, the prep, sodding - everything! was done! I was given instruction about the care of the new grass and they even fixed a broken sprinkler head. This company is a true joy - professional, courteous, and true to their word. I can't wait to use them again next spring for additional landscaping, etc.

Oakwood Lawn and Landscaping has done an excellent job of being responsive to our snow removal needs. Since we live on a hill and have a LONG driveway, it is vital to have a reliable snow removal service. We have never been disappointed in the five years we have employed them. The employees and office staff are extremely polite and responsive. If we did not have a friend with a landscaping service, we would certainly employ Oakwood Lawn and Landscaping to do our landscaping work also.

Jeff was the only landscaper out of four that I called who called me back. His crew worked during an awful heat wave and through a rain storm. Their attention to detail was outstanding and they were courteous I have hired them to continue with upgrades and maintenance.
