BETTER LAWNS AND GARDENS INC

I made an appointment for the owner to see my yard and he did not show up. I called; we rescheduled. He came as planned for the second appointment. His price was $65. per man-hour. That is clearly more than I had ever paid, but I made arrangements for work to be done. We planned the date, time, and number of man-hours. No one showed up!

I couldn't be happier with this company! We moved into a home on a one acre plot that had been allowed to overgrow for some time. You could see that it was once meticulously landscaped, but the weeds and blackberries had taken over and nothing had been pruned in ages. It is nothing short of miraculous how much they were able to accomplish in four days! The owner, George, was very friendly and professional. I thought his fees were very reasonable for the amount of work that was done, and he was great about advising us on best methods and timing for various projects. We still have many things to tackle on this property, but when we need help we will definitely be calling this company in the future.

George and his assistant were great! George responded promptly to my call, gave me a bid that I thought was very fair, came when he said he would and did a great job. I will definitely use him again.

Responded quickly when it was needed.

We first used George to re-do the yard a few years ago, stripped completely down to dirt and put new sod on. The service was great. We have the company come back every year for maintenance work and are always happy with the results.

George was extremely responsive. I called him in the morning and he said he was finishing up a job and would come to my home next around 2-3 p.m. He mentioned on the phone that he didn't usually work on Sat, but would come. He arrived right on time. We walked around and he listened to what type of plants I wanted and made suggestions. He will think of other plants that will work, figure out a cost and call me next week. He said he was busy next week but could come the following week. He seemed very knowledgable about many plants and very trustworthy. Judy Hanna

Work provided on time and under estimate. Work done was professional and clean-up was complete.

Owner responded to my bid request with a suggestion to do the work on an alternate day when he would be in the area, saving me costs for transportation. He did the needed mowing and brush cutting at a rate well below other estimates I had gotten.I saved enough that I asked him to do some hauling that I had planned to do. He was flexible and went to his home to get a trailer. Came back and loaded and hauled the brush at a cost below my estimates. I found him very friendly and flexible. Only negative is that he needed a chain saw for the project and his was not operational. He needed to borrow mine.

George is absolutely wonderful to work with. He's pleasant, has a sense of humor, is honest and trustworthy. Unfortunately those traits, as wonderful as they are don't matter when I have to sit and wait two days for George to show up. To be fair he had to "fit me in" to his very crowded schedule, but I couldn't pin him down to anything better than, "It will be Monday or Tuesday" and then I did not receive a call until Tuesday afternoon! I have to have someone that I can count on to make appointments and carry through and be at my home when they said they would be there. Please....if you have no problem with letting George show up whenever he's available, give him a try -- you won't be sorry -- he's a great guy and wonderful to work with. I have animals that I need to take care of before anyone shows up to do the yard so it just doesn't work for me, that's the only reason I'm not hiring George full time.

Better Lawns and Gardens is the only company I call for help with my yard. They respond quickly and get an amazing amount of work done in a short amount of time. They do excellent work and they are professional and polite.

I like this company; they are very good. They are very prompt and pleasant people. We contacted three companies to give us an estimate and there was no big gap between the prices; they were comparable. They were very responsive and punctual.

We love having George as our landscaper. When we first moved into our house, which had been newly built, he helped advice us on what to plant where, and he took take of all the hard work. We like doing some gardening, but there was a lot we couldn't really do by ourselves, and that's where George stepped in. He even drove me around the neighborhood to look at different plants and flowers to help me decide on what to plant!! Not long after we moved away for a while, maintaining our house in Eugene. George came over regularly to maintain the garden and keep an eye out for any problems. When a sprinkler head burst in the middle of winter, and we were thousands of miles away, he immediately came over after our neighbor called, took care of the problem, and got in touch with us. George also helped us find a sprinkler installation company when we needed to install more sprinklers, and he always arranges for them to come over when we have questions or need seasonal maintenance done. George has kept our garden looking beautiful, and because he takes care of the hard work, weeding, trimming, spraying, and all that, we can use our own time to focus on the fun parts of gardening like maintaining a vegetable and herb garden, and planting seasonal flowers! We're very thankful to George for all his services, he's gone above and beyond our expectations, and his services are very affordable too!

This is a wonderful man. We were 2500 miles away from our mother's home when she passed away. To keep the house from looking abandoned the yard needed to be maintained. In addition, we needed to sell her house and to do that the yard needed to look good. George gave us a good price and did a good job. The neighbors were telling us what was going on with the house, and when we finally got there in person, it looked good.
