I hired a and m to mow and tram my front lawn in late spring early summer of 2022, they were reliable, responsive to calls on mowing wildflowers under the trees. however, they mowed in such a way that grove is left on the lawn and it looked bad they tried to charge a $3 fee for ACH convenience on their bill this turned out to be a charge for using a credit card so however i was paying my check when I called and questioned about it they removed the charge after they were unable to fix the problem on the lawn and I terminate them, they made my lawn look bad so I would give them a C

Description of Work: I’ve used A&M for years. They do an excellent job of cutting my lawn, fertilizing it, and leaf removal. They come like clock work every Thursday. I’ve only had problems with weeds once and they came out and applied extra weed control without charge. They never damage my property (which is something you can’t say about most lawn services). I highly recommend them and plan to continue using them in future

A&M purchased the landscaping company that previously plowed our street. The handoff was poor and we were had no one to turn to the first time it snowed even though we we assured we there would be a seamless transition from the old company. A&M came out and helped out but raised the price and we were stuck with a bill for more services that we believe were actually performed. They then threatened collections. We did hire them for future work and we are glad. We paid them and said good riddance. Due to their lack of professionalism, this company is not recommended.

A&M Landscaping and Lawn Care was the answer to my needs. They showed up promptly to give me an estimate, and quickly moved in to service our needs as soon as I approved their estimate. They treat the lawn with the appropriate fertilizer and other materials on an appropriate schedule, using professional equipment and techniques. And they post the lawn with appropriate signs when they use insecticides, etc. As a result of timely and correct treatment, he lawn looks the best it ever has.

Dear [Removed member name], You are correct, I did receive your phone call to check out your property. I found that it was out of my service zone, and completely forgot to call you back. I am so sorry for this oversight. I do try to respond quickly to all calls and follow through on my actions, but I failed to return your call.

I was unable to keep up with lawncare this summer, so I contacted A&M. Unlike other service providers, they promptly returned my call, and we were able to quickly setup regular service. They are quick and cleanup well after themselves. My lawn looks great! What is really notable, though, is they have gone above and beyond. I had a flower bed that was overtaken by weeds, and I arrived home after a regular service to find they had trimmed away all the weeds. I was surprise and grateful that they went the extra mile.
I have been extremely impressed and pleased with the snow removal and lawn mowing service provided by A & M Landscaping & Lawncare. My driveway, walkway, and sidewalk were shoveled efficiently and neatly all winter long. The staff exercise care and precision when mowing my lawn. Landscapers edge my yard and they also use a blower to help with grass and any leaf debris. The blades of the mowers do not "chew up" my grass, and the lawn is always left with clean lines. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone. A&M Landscaping & Lawncare also takes care of my mother's snow removal, lawn care, and her landscape. They always do a beautiful job. Well worth the money.

After having a tree stump and surface roots removed in my front lawn, I contacted Michael for an estimate to have my front lawn re-seeded. He came out and gave me a reasonable estimate. After a long rain delay, A and M came out and removed the excess wood chips from the tree, slit seeded the grass seed, and applied fertilizer. After watering the lawn for a week and a half the seeds germinated into a wonderful green yard. I was concerned since work was done close to first frost of the season. I emailed Michael and he assured me that the grass would be okay. I will definitely considering hiring A and M next spring to do more landscaping work.

We're very pleased with the appearance and quality of work, and blowing the leaves was a nice bonus. Michael came out in October to see the work and bid the job. Originally the job had included planting a new bush in another area, but it was postponed, however the cost remained the same. Michael had said he would get the job on his schedule and would call the day before. He called at about 8:45 am on 11/6 and asked if his crew could come that morning about 10 because they were in Clintonville already. Normally that short notice wouldn't have worked, but it did turn out well. All three were friendly and professional and I plan to contact them again in the spring for more planting and cleanup. I selected A and M from Angie's List based on the positive reviews and was not disappointed.
Description of Work: Grant and Matt dug up six Arborvitae and moved four to a new location. They took two that were in bad shape, along with a pile of yard debris. They filled the holes and smoothed the dirt until it looked as if the bushes were never there, then blew off leaves from the driveway and patio. Grant also answered questions about handling several dead areas on the bushes. They were here for about an hour and a half.

In short, I am dissatisfied with the service we received. The work on my yard was very simple: grade the front and back flat and plant new seed throughout the whole yard. Aand M were low by a significant margin, but I went with their service due to the positive reviews. When their laborer arrived with the Bobcat, I walked him through the yard and explained what I was wanting. Throughout the day, several issues arose: 1) I had called Mike the week prior to him performing the work asking if he would relocate topsoil that we had in two large raised bed gardens. He said it would be no problem. The morning before they started, I helped the laborers move the raised beds to the new location. However, later in the day, the topsoil was nowhere to be seen and the raised beds were empty. I called Mike but did not receive a response. At the end of the day when he showed up onsite, he told me that there was sand in the back and their rubber-tire bobcat was having problems getting traction to pick up the topsoil. I don't question the truthfulness of the statement, but regardless, they should have called and asked what we wanted them to do instead of spreadying/burying the topsoil which cost us over $150 to purchase and a half day to place. We now have to re-do the garden beds completely. 2) Mike and I talked over what to do with the front yard during the initial quote. We had a silver maple and he warned that if they run into roots, they'll have to keep it high or we might not get grass to grow. I agreed and told him to do his best and get it as low as he can to try to match the height of our patio. About mid-afternoon on their workday, I went outside and saw that nothing was done to the front. I talked to their laborer and told him what I was wanting. He understood and started working but when I went out the next time, they were spreading seed and very little work was done. Half the yard hadn't been touched at all and the large front bed I have had ruts in it where he clearly stopped the Bobcat part way. I asked him what the problem was and he told me that he talked to Mike and was told that we agreed that they weren't going to do anything to the front because of the Maple. This left our yard truly looking terrible. Not only did they not take out almost any of the existing grass in the front (which I was expecting them to remove), but they left an area next to our sun room untouched. When Mike arrived after the crew left, he reiterated what the Laborer said and tried to argue with me about extra work they had done in removing wood chips from ground stumps. Eventually he did touch up the area next to the sun-room the next Monday and attempted to clean up the area in front of the patio but it still looks bad. There is a section in the middle of the front that has water ponding. He never did take out the existing sod and plant new seed even though I clearly stated during the quote to grade the entire yard and plant new seed throughout the whole yard. 3) After their laborer left, prior to Mike coming around 5:00 PM, I looked in the back and found they completely neglected to finish grading one section of the yard. The west side of our patio in the back had not been backed up and there was a foot wide by 8and quot; deep trench around our patio. They actually seeded this area as if that would have been satisfactory. When I walked around with Mike, he recognized the issue straight away and said that he'd have the guys come back the next Monday and fix it. They did come back and fix it, which was great, but I was really disappointed to come out and see the lack of quality. 4) Once again, after their laborer left and prior to Mike's arrival, I noticed that the back was not level whatsoever. There was a large hump where an old tree root used to be and a valley directly in the middle of the yard. There was also a very choppy area in the back corner next to where the raised bed's used to be where the laborer said he was having a tough time getting to with the Bobcat due to the sandy soil. I commented on these things to Mike and he said he'd see what they could do when his guy came back on Monday. When the laborer did come back, I pointed out the major valley in the yard. He told me that he'd do what he can but he might not have enough dirt to do anything about it. The problem with this is that they had already removed 2 loads of dirt the first day! In the end, he didn't do anything at all to these two areas. Thankfully, it rained late that afternoon and we have significant ponding in both locations. I called Mike at 7:15PM and left a message informing him of this major problem and told him I have pictures if he wants me to send them to him. They still had their Bobcat sitting in my back yard at the time, so they could have remedied the situation without another mobilization. Mike came out at 11:30 AM on Tuesday to inspect the area and noticed the two mud pits where water had been pooling. He offered to come out and put down topsoil in these areas after the grass has started growing, but didn't think anything could be done prior to that. In conclusion, working with A and M has been a cause of major frustration. The work was simple: grade and seed the whole yard. In the end, they only graded and seeded PART of the yard and the areas they did grade, they did a below average job. When talking with Mike after project completion, he did take off the sales tax and offer to remedy the valley in the yard with topsoil after grass sprouted. This was appreciated, but still did not leave me a satisfied customer. Mike informed me that there must have been a breakdown in communication at the time of quote in that he had different ideas about what I was wanting/expecting. The problem is, all the other 3 quotes I received did not have these problems. Mike stated that if we would have added topsoil, it would have been a much better end product. I agree with that, but that does not justify all the issues that I stated above, especially not the failure to grade and seed the ENTIRE yard. Overall, Mike did make an effort to make us happy, which is why i'm not giving a worse rating, but the end product was sub par. I would not recommend them to others.

Response from A & M Landscaping & Lawncare
We were invited to provide an estimate to seed his front yard, and to level his back yard from where he dug out his patio. During the first conversation, we walked his property. In his front yard, the patio was built below grade with a flagstone wall built up to the grade of the existing lawn and close to a large mature silver maple tree. In my professional opinion, we could not get down to the grade of the patio due to roots of the large tree. I suggested to level out the soil area and to seed the front yard. In the back yard, he had placed the excess clay soil from digging out his patio. Also in the back yard was another large, mature silver maple tree and a rotted stump of another large tree. We agreed to level out the clay soil and reseed. Removal of existing sod areas was not included in the estimate. Due to the large amount of rain during the 2014 season, we arrived approximately one week later than anticipated. I kept him notified of the changes, and returned his phones calls to keep him up to date on our schedule. He called with additions (moving his garden beds and left over gravel from his patio which was one trailer load). We did not charge extra for these additions. When we arrived, to our surprise, we found the trees had been removed and the stumps ground out. The tree company left behind two very large piles of wood chips. They also left behind the large root system around the stumps and roots in both front and back. We had to remove all the wood chips (it must be removed to aid in the growth of new grass), which consisted of one trailer load. Again, this addition had no extra charge. We had to use some of his clay soil to fill in the void left behind from the removal of the two large trees. Many large surface roots were left causing noticeable humps in the yard. In the front yard, we leveled down until we hit roots which was within an inch or two. We sprayed the existing yard area for weeds, reseeded and fertilized the entire front yard. Removing existing sod areas was not part of the estimate, only seeding those areas. In the back yard, we leveled but had complications in the back corner due to sand and rain water. The bobcat struggled in the wet area, and we were not able to save the soil from his garden beds as hoped. We ended up spreading it in the back corner. We also sprayed for weeds, reseeded and fertilized the existing sod areas. At the end of the job, I (Michael Thomasson - owner) arrived to inspect. When walking around with homeowner, I found in the back yard, my crew missed a 4’ x 2’ area by his patio. I noticed right away, and told him we would have it fixed the next working day. The homeowner also pointed out an additional area needed to be leveled next to the missed area; it was a hump of sod growing over an old stump area. It was not part of the original estimate, but since the crew would be returning to fix the missed area, they could try to level it. During the next heavy rain fall, he experienced some pooling of water in the backyard. After his phone call, I was out the next day to inspect, and the water was gone. Due to the spreading of the clay soil he dug out, I explained it would have a tendency not to absorb water as well as top soil. I did not feel there would be pooling after the grass took root and could absorb the excess moisture (clay soil tends to not absorb water well). If he did have any further problems with pooling after grass was established, I would come out and add topsoil at no additional charge. I am sorry we were unable to come to a satisfactory conclusion. The condition of his yard (roots and clay soil) made it difficult to meet his expectations. We provided many additional services beyond his written estimate at no additional charges, remedied our mistake immediately, and took off a percentage of the bill. We will continue to stand behind our work, and as stated by homeowner, we will return if any pooling occurs in the small area he had concerns. Sincerely, Michael Thomasson A & M Landscaping and Lawncare

Last year, our lawn was looking bad and we had a tree removed, We tried to grow grass where the tree was removed but it didn't take. Mike not only put down topsoil and grass seed, but also came back out to reseed when it didn't grow well enough. Mike also put some topsoil and seed around the side of our house that is mostly shaded. This year, our lawn is looking much better and greener than our neighbors!! We know it will take some time for it to be where we want it to be, but we think this is a great start! I would highly recommend this company!

I was really glad they could come out on that very busy day for this business, especially since I'm not a regular customer. However my son was not pleased with their word since nothing was sidewalks were not shoveled and quot;edge to edgeand quot;. I thought they were all right considering the weather and how busy they were. I would call them again.

We continue to use Aand M, and look forward to having the best looking yard on the block. After last fall's repair of my grass, and early treatments and work this year, I am amazed at how much better my grass looks than all of my neighbors. Michael's team came when they said they would, did excellent work, and charged exactly what they said they would charge. I requested an additional quote for some other work, and received it extremely promptly. I would refer Michael and Aand M to anybody looking for a full service yard and landscaping company!

About a week prior to this, I had Aand M clear the snow on the part of my drive I use to enter the garage. I thought maybe the rest would melt, but Mother nature didn't cooperate. I needed the entire drive and front walk cleared for a party, so I called Michael and he had the job done within a couple hours. Both times I called, Michael personally answered his phone and responded quickly. The work was well done and the price was very reasonable. Michael is very pleasing and professional to talk with. I'll use Aand M for snow removal in the future, and I plan to get an estimate for lawn mowing and landscaping needs this spring.
