Initially. Great. I wrote to he website and received a quick response. I was then called and asked general information about the job. I was told it would be costly because they dont just mow. I was told all trees.. Shrubs mowing...everything had to be included. Even so..Im older and my son has cancer so I could use the help so I asked for an estimate. I was told they would be out in a week. After a week I wrote them again. This time no response. Unfortunately this is the second well rated angies list lawn company too busy.

They did a lot of work. They were absolutely wonderful. They were very attentive. I got estimates from several other companies, they were a little bit higher but I like the job that they were going to do.
Description of Work: We used Mike Ward Landscaping. They cut the grass around our ponds. They landscaped the front of my house. They cleaned out all the flower beds. They trimmed all my bushes.

Todd Hardy was the person who came out to give us a bid from Mike Ward Landscaping. We walked around and went over what we really wanted and what our budget was around. Todd told me he would have me a bid back in a week for the landscaping. He wrote me back the same day he came out with an explanation of why he could not perform the fertilization and weed control. He said he charges clients like us a certain amount per 1000 sq ft, and what it would cost him to do the job we asked for was to much, and that there was "No way" they could perform the work we had him out to bid, and that he would be losing half of his cost just to perform the work correctly. I really didn't need a long excuse of why he didn't want to perform the job, I thought it was kind of unprofessional. He did write me another email 4 days later saying he hoped he wasn't to offensive with the previous email. 3 weeks later the landscaping bids came in, more than 2 weeks longer than promised and after numerous unreturned phone calls during that time. Actually I had sent him an email 2 weeks after we were already supposed to have the bid asking him what the deal was, and he wrote back saying if you are still interested I will work up a design and forward to you by tomorrow. So it seemed that he hadn't even started anything yet. When we finally got the bid, it was far more in price than other bids we had received for the same work and it looked like it had been drawn and thrown together on graph paper in about an hours time. We will not be using Mike Ward for any future work.
Description of Work: Bid on complete reconstuction of landscaping and a bid on mowing

Response from MIKE WARD LANDSCAPING INC
Todd Hardy met with client on April 20, 2012. Client said they were looking for a 3 phase complete landscape renovation. Todd explained we were not landscape architects but would be interested in working up some ideas. Client also wanted a quote on lawn mowing and lawn care (weed control & fertilizer). Client shared the amounts they were currently paying another contractor with Todd. Upon getting back to office, Todd measured the property online using imaging tool and found we could not offer the same pricing as client was getting from other contractor. Todd declined the work by explaining how it would actually cost our company money to perform the work (our quote would be significantly higher) and told client they were getting a very good price. Client did not respond to initial email but followed up with a kind of note of thanks regarding communication regarding lawn care and mowing on April 24, 2012. Todd did agree to send follow up on landscape ideas on April 30, 2012. Todd did communicate with client that quote was delayed due to busy nature of spring in the landscape business. Todd did ask client if they still wanted bid, even though it was going to be later than originally promised on May 7,2012. Client requested quote be sent as soon as it was finished that they would wait to make decision on project when our bid was sent in. On May 12, 2012, Todd emailed over the complete landscape renovation in excess of $30,000. Todd followed up with client on June 1, 2012 via email as we had not received any feedback or decision on our quote. Client replied via email that owner had chosen to use a different contractor. At no point in the process did client communicate with Todd in any form regarding any issues described in comments listed here.

Services provided helped, but failed to completely resolve the issues that we sought out to fix. Yard was reseeded twice, but many areas never germinated. There are still many patchy areas of dirt without grass. Mike recommended that we place yard on a fertilizer and weed control treatment plan utilizing his weed control company, "Weedman" which we did. The weeds are now under control. We'll have to wait and see whether or not the fertilizing helps grow the missing grass. Because of being so late in the Spring, Mike Ward promises to overseed yard in the Fall to again try to resolve yard problems.
Description of Work: Yard re-seeded, top soil spot added, yard aeration and flower/shrub beds mulched. Also installed a small patch of sod to repair sink hole.

Chose this company because they had a sod company as part of their group and did a lot of this work. They had all the equipment needed to do the job well and the actual installation was satisfactory. The problem with this company is poor communication. They didn't always return phone calls. The process was supposed to take 7-10 days, but it took about a month because of the weather. They did not notify me when)they applied herbicide to the lawn. They did not make sure someone would be home after the sod was installed (it is important because the sod needs to be watered frequently). I still think it is good to have sod installed by a sod company, but I am not sure I would use them for other work.
Description of Work: Removed existing grass and installed sod in front lawn.

It was amazing. They were professional. They came out a couple times to talk to us. When they came out with all the plants, it was a little out of our budget. They were willing to change the plan to fit, they also replaced a tree that had died for free.
Description of Work: They did all of my sodding and some mulching. They planted about 18 trees and plants.

Shannon was very punctual and professional from the time of the estimate to the completion of the job. The previous fall we had our overgrown 1 acre lot cleared of a majority of trees. Shannon re-graded the yard with existing soil and added one dump truck load of soil prior to sodding. An entire load of creek rock was used to create the creek beds.
Description of Work: Shannon Smith re-graded our entire yard and installed sod. Also created 2 dry creek beds to improve drainage.

Started calling them in sept 2004, but they came to do the work only in may of 2005. I had removed all the big rocks and put them in a corner. The guy who graded it put them all back and before we could stop them the seed was all sprayed all over. They seemed like not interested in doing the job at all. Finally when they did show it was not a good time for me. The grass did not grow well. They promised to supply more grass seed to use on ungrown patches, never supplied any of it. We had to reseed all over again using a slit seeder in sept. Only after that and installing a sprinkler our lawn looks somewhat good.

We called them to come out and remove leaves from our backyard only. We were quoted $40 per hour. 2 men came out and performed the work in 2 hours, which I believed they really took their time. We received a bill for $322.91 a week later. I called to complain and was told it was $40 per person per hour and there was a 2 way travel charge. I argued that this was never told to me and they did knock off $100 off the bill.
