M A Souders Inc

Mike is a total jerk - threats his employees and treats everyone behind closed doors like they are children - talks unfairly about all his customers

.....................................................................................................

I am on a yearly maintenance program with them. I have a big yard , just shy of an acre, so their price is really good. I have been with them for 10-12 years and most of my neighbors are with them now. Even though he has grown bigger over the years it is like a personalized service. There are times I have called in, especially on a weekend, and I get Mike, who is the owner. He does a really good job and his people care; you can tell they are schooled well.

Overall, the lawn is healthy, thick and green. That said, the crew is sloppy with equipment which causes fertilizer to pour heavy in spots leaving burn marks and streaks in the yard. I have damage nearly every time they come. I call and they claim they will address the issue, but it never happens. Also, my yard was loaded with dandelions this spring. They claim they guarantee their work and will come back to address issues like this. Again, I called, they said they would come out to spay and never did. It's disappointing given the cost. I got this level of service with the low end lawn care companies for far less money.

I absolutely love them. I pay three installments basically at about $83 to $84 and it's very reasonable.

They were professional and knowledgable during the estimate. They even gave me some tips on mole control. Since we have a couple mowable acres in need of treatment, they gave us the commercial rate. The final estimate was half of what another provider quoted. So far we see a big improvement in our lawn, i.e., less weeds, less moles, less skunk damage.

Time will tell whether their lawn service will improve the overall quality of our grass, but we certainly have been impressed with the promptness of their work. They have come two times already to service our lawn.

M A Souders has done a fantastic job taking care of my lawn. I want to preface that I have over an acre of yard space which needs to be treated. I hired Souders after very poor results from a competitor (Weedpro). First and foremost, I needed Souders to correct the damage to my yard from the neglect of the previous company. Today, my grass is the best in the neighborhood. Hands down!!!! My grass is thick, lush and green. It is one of the first yards in the spring to look beautiful and it lasts throughout the season. I couldn't be more happy and I highly recommend using Souders. This means a lot coming from me as I am very particular when it comes to my lawn. I want it to look as nice as a golf course and will settle for no less.

prompt and very professional.

It took awhile to get the lawn treated because of the weather conditions which always seemed to prevent the application. However, Aaron did a great job applying the chemicals on the yard and within days we could see the curling up of the dandelions. Aaron did mention it might take 2 or 3 applications to kill all of the weeds and hopefully the crabgrass when it emerges. I purchased a plan with Souders, so they will be making applications throughout the summer. For my plan I will receive 4 applications for the money which was listed above. I feel this company is good and they back it up with a guarantee that if you are not satisfied they will come back and reapply at their cost. I would highly recommend them for taking care of your yard issues. Shortly after we had our first application we sold our home and after prompting the company, they totally refunded my charges excluding the first application fee. M.A.Saunders is a company you can rely on for honesty and integrity.

A mix of the fertilizer and rain and I have a weedless and perfectly green lawn! Hope it keeps up as the plan continues. Very satisfied, never receive harassing marketing calls or mailings from MA either. I recommend this company to friends who are up satisfied with other lawn companies.

I sent them an email. The very next they came and gave us a detailed evaluation of our lawn. We gave them a call. They had different levels of treatments. We choose one and because we paid in full up front they gave us a discount. I will have more information after the fall when I can say how well their products worked and how well their workers worked.

I've been using MA Souders for lawn treatment for about 2 years now. I thought why not have them come out and trim a tree and bush, the first time they came out I saw little difference so they made a 2nd visit. On the 2nd visit the trimmed only from the sides making the tree and bush rather skinny and looked ridiculous. MA Souders started calling me for payment, which I told them when they do the job that they were hired to do I would have no problem paying them. Fast forward to yesterday they made arrangements to come on Sat so I could be there when they came so I was surprised when I arrived home the entire top of my tree and bush were gone. Yes I had asked them to trim the top of each to make them look better and for security reason; however, I did not expect to come home to my tree having such an extreme trim. It would have been nice to be told they were coming and what was going to happen. That way I'm not taken off guard. They did a great job on my lawn, the guy that came out each time to complete my lawn care service was always very nice and did a great job. I spoke with Mr. Souders on Friday and he took the time to listen to me, as well as explain why they did what they did. He also said he would like to come back out once the tree and bush start blooming to trim again. He was willing to listen and to work with me to make this work. Since I’m not an expert on tree trimming, it took some getting used to. But overall after speaking to Mr. Souder on Friday, I would say I am happy with the outcome.

I have been a client for many years. MS Souders have kept my grass green and looking good.

They worked for me throughout the summer and fall. They come routinely so they come every month. The price varies depending on what they do, if they trim the trees or treating the grass. They have a prepaid package for like spraying or weeding that covers a lot of that and you know like you get a 15% discount if you prepay for the package for this season and I think that was close to a $1000.

lawn always looks better then neighbors.

It went beyond my expectations. I expected a three minute call to get some basic information, and spent 20 minutes being advised on every aspect of the job.

The price was reasonable. Their service was good.

Their service went very well. They were great. We've had work done over the years. They were very reasonable in pricing. They were very prompt. My husband knows them and we trust them. We just let them come when they were available to be in the area because it was a very minor job.

Our lawn was horrible looking prior to MA Souders doing their treatment. We had built a patio so our yard was torn up and all that was growing was weeds. They came in and did a free assessment and said that they could treat it. They came once a month after the summer season the backyard was greener & fuller than it ever has been! We were extremely pleased with this! We had them mulch & edge our flower beds also. I thought that the edging was kinda poor I wish it would have been cleaner/depper cut, however we never had a conversation about this - next time when I have them do this I will ask to meet with them to discuss how I would like it done. The mulch was done very quickly and was a surprise coming home to seeing it done - we were unsure of when it would get complete, we were never told a date of installation. We were never billed for this though until about 2 months later. In the fall we had them slit seed & aerate our backyard. We plan on using them for treatment again this year. The only complaint I would have is their billing was really inconsistent. We had payments auto-deducted to a credit card. Some months it would be auto-deducted, others they wouldnt take out the money and then would call us saying we havent paid them. I would like to see more consistency with this - also not getting a bill for the much until we asked them for it 2 months later.

New to area so looking for a company to come and treat lawn for weeds and fertilize. Gave estimate. I had many questions. They took the time to answer and the owner of the company himself called to discuss one of my questions with me. Worker always courteous. One time they showed up and it turned our that day that I would need to be in the yard. The had no problem rescheduling. Also it was tough summer to get rid of broadleaf and when I complained that they were not getting killed. They came out at no extra charge to apply another weed killer. The yard looks as good as it can right now with the drought we had this summer.

The grass is green and there are no weeds in the lawn. I am very happy with the service.

I am very satisfied with their lawn treatment. I have not had any problems with them, and they do good quality work.

They have been back again and they were doing a great job. It was now looking even better where the bare spots where they killed the weeds were now filling in with grass. It was so good and I am really pleased with what they work.

Do and good job and using again in 2012.
