WILLIAM J BARRY LANDSCAPING

.

It went fine and he was very nice man. But the painter I used if you get to that, I love them. It was a good company. I didn't need a company that was so involved, I just needed somebody to help me take some things away but they were very nice and very gracious.

We discussed the work needed and he seemed very knowledgeable. Months went by but he never did the work and rarely return my phone calls.I eventually gave up and went with someone else.

I contacted Mr. Barry and set-up an approximate appointment time. Mr. Barry arrived and was very pleasant to talk to. He provided answers to my questions and seemed very interested in working on my lawn. Before giving me an estimate, he wanted to mark the low and high spots to make sure we were both on the same page. Unfortunately he did not have any stakes/flags with him at the time. He left with the understanding that he would call me the next day to set-up an appointment after he checked his schedule. It has been more than two weeks now and I have not heard from him. I guess he doesn't want my business.

Our lawn was really very bad last summer. It had strange weeds and I couldn't do anything about it. I had to make a couple phone calls to Mr. Barry and he finally came out. He looked at the lawn and identified the weeds and talked about what he could do about it. I told him I also wanted to reduce a flowerbed in size. He gave me a reasonable verbal estimate. He said he would come back and also send me a written estimate. I called him after a couple weeks and he said he'd get back to me. He never did. In mid-November I wrote him a long letter and outlined what had happened. I told him I had gotten his name from Angie's List and I told him I didn't like to give a negative report but I was still open to work with him. I would have been happy for him to tell me the job was too small and I could have found somebody else. To this day I have never heard from him. He was very nice. Everyone thinks I'm crazy that I'm considering giving him another chance.

I really liked their professionalism.

They did fine. Showed up when promised and got the job done.

Nothing to describe or report on.

They were very professional, showed up on time and did what they said they would do. They understood what was best to do with the different types of plants that I have. They did not start from scratch and create an entire front yard or backyard experience for me, but I have used them for lawn maintenance work. I would rate them highly and would use them again in the future; in fact, they are meant to do my ongoing lawn service.

They were nice. The problem was that I had a fence. It was mutually agreed that certainly wouldn't do the work because they couldn't get their equipment in. I would probably not use them in the future.

Positives: completed work @ 80% of the time. Downsides: lawn mowers tore up my ivy on two occasions; first time responded politely and provided some trimming to compensate; second time was quite rude and told me I would need to "pay more" because their machines are "too big" to cut my grass near the ivy (it's close to a tree in one of the spots they tore up). Their snow removal equipment broke down early last winter and they were not able to clear snow as promised. Prices were somewhat high though I would had paid if they had behaved professionally.

I think it went well and we will use them again. I would recommend them.

He did not call me back right away, but did call the next day. He said he typically does not do that work, but was willing to check out the work anyway. I really appreciated that.

The work went well. The guy was very responsive. He came out and gave us a really thorough estimate and then came and did the work on time and left. I will use them again in the future.

We appreciated Mr. Barry's personal attention and care, as well as his having stayed within his estimate about both time and money.

The Barry's service my property on a regular basis. They are prompt, do a great job and are very professional. They come on the days they say they will be there.

Company's owner returned my call promptly and showed up on appointed day and time. He was cordial and clear in his appraisal of my needs and provided a fair estimate. Company followed through on using the township calendar to schedule leaf pickup, and called me to confirm I was interested. Leaves were nicely removed as were thousands of pine needles (yea!).

They are friendly, and precise people. They are true to their word, and I would use them again. They also do snow plowing. They are family run and I can definitely trust them.
