Misko Landscaping

Consistenty timely plowing of our long curved driveway without damage to flanking grass and shrubs. No damage to asphalt. Fair price. Strongly recommended for driveway plowing.

not well at all, i tried to hire them and wanted to give them the business. I was told they had stopped by to give me an estimate, I was home and did not see anyone outside my door all morning. They claim they can not access the back yard despite my telling them multiple times over the phone that the side walk wrapped around to the back and it was easy to get to. Then they simply told me they don't want the business. They have enough customers and don't need anymore. I would not recommend hiring them, they obviously don't want anymore business and will not likely do a good job if you hire them as they don't seem to value the work they do or their currently or potential customers. My job was very easy, could be done quickly for an extra chunk of money in their pocket....I will now search for someone who wants the work and can use the extra cash. In addition, they were difficult to deal with on the phone, I explained my situation several times and it apparently fell on deaf ears....the person i spoke with told me to just buy a week wacker and do it myself, I said if i wanted to do that i would not be contacting lawn services.

Very polite. Did a good job.

*** READ BEFORE CONTRACTING THIS COMPANY *** It’s sad I must post this review but I feel it’s only right to let other potential customers know about this company and how they might (I must stress and quot;mightand quot;) treat you. Furthermore, the goal of my review is NOT revenge or to cause slander but rather provide a reviewer the opportunity to see another side of this company like I experienced today. I am not sure why they receive such high marks? It's my opinion their high marks are the result of either: (1) Customers never have to deal with the husband, who is part of the ground crew; (2) Customer expectation for service quality level is low; (3) Customers are desperate for help; or (4) Many of the reviews are just untruthful. To begin and in all fairness, the wife who seems to be the front person and project manager for the company, was friendly and professional but the husband who is part of the ground crew clearly is NOT a people person. Maybe he was having a really bad morning or week? I don't think so. He clearly has an attitude and temper problem! He quickly became hostile and flat out verbally abusive with me today shortly after I asked one of his crew a completely non-hostile question because I had concerns further damage was going to be done to my beautiful and vulnerable garden. I was utterly shocked by his immediate hostile body language and attitude as he approached me while I was asking one of his crew members my question about a tool. Within a minute he was several inches from me and very hostile! (What's up with that?) At that time I asked him in a neutral voice to please back up. His wife clearly saw he was getting out of control yelled in the background to ask him to and quot;step backand quot; and to and quot;calm down.and quot; She seemed concerned about his escalating anger and abuse. I quickly determined from his voice and body language he could likely get physical. I also had enough of his terrible attitude and behavior. At that point, I told him this just wasn’t working out and to please leave after they were working on my yard for about 15 minutes at most. My request to ask him to leave further escalated his temper. It seemed like he didn't want to comply in which I explained that either he immediately leave or I would be forced to call the police. This eventually worked in which he then stomped around my front yard dragging debris his crew cleared from my garden beds and dumped it into the middle of my yard followed by throwing tools on his truck and slamming his truck door. While this was going on I was talking to 911 because I was concerned about my safety and I wanted the police to be there to diffuse him just in case he wouldn't leave or would come back. Angry tempers like that should not be taken lightly. I was truly concerned for my safety or what he might do. A police report was filed. I am utterly shocked by this experience! I was left asking myself what just happened and why did he blow up so quickly? Followed by I can't believe he acted like that! Did I mention they destroyed many of my beautiful in bloom tulips (which won't bloom again until next spring), hacked off a third of my Russian sage bush (which grows on seemingly dead wood) and stomped on many of my plants? I didn't even tell them I was upset about all of that. I just asked them to please be a little more gentle with the plants. My front garden looks terrible in their wake of anger. It amazes me how much physical and mental destruction can be done in such little time. P.S. Now I wonder what they will say about my review or maybe me? I am willing to take that risk. Furthermore, I am sure they will deny everything and likely put the blame on me. They know they stepped way out of line. You should never treat a customer like that or anywhere close to that degree! I ask Angie’s List customers not to decide who was right or wrong but rather think twice before contracting this company. It could likely happen to them. Angie's List should closely monitor them and take immediate action if they pull this type of behavior with anyone else. The fact is there are simply too many other landscaping companies out there who provide friendly and quality service and will not even consider verbally abusing a customer. We shouldn't have to put up with companies like this!

The price is pretty reasonable. A couple of times, I have to call them back because I'm not sure if the work has been done. They were pretty responsive, very punctual and very professional.

My prior snow removal service left the business after three mild winters and I needed someone new. I contacted Misko Landscaping, and am I glad I did! We've had 5-6 serious snowfalls so far this winter with about 58 total inches, which is quite a bit for the Philadelphia area. Misko was punctual and thorough with my driveway and front walk, and his charges were not outrageous. I have recommended him to my neighbor, and plan to use him for lawn care services when the weather changes.

Nicely done with care to surfaces to keep them from refreezing.

Misko has been prompt and has done an excellent job of snow removal. when the city plows covered our sidewalk again, I called and Misko came back and cleared it again.

Marty and his wife Grace, are wonderful. After the major snowstorm we just had, Marty shoveled my sidewalks and two paths to my house. I first spoke w/ his wife Grace. She got the ball rolling. She is very sympathetic. I cannot recommend Marty enough to anyone who needs an honest snow plower. I had a lot of snow, and he only charged me $100.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Marty's wife. She was sympathetic to my situation w/ the snow. I tried to shovel the snow but was forced to return to my house. I could hardly feel my fingers. I called Angie's List and spoke w/ a super nice person. I called Misko Lawn Service, and Marty's wife said she would send him right over. Marty shoveled my pavement and the entrances to my outside areas. He worked so hard. I was very impressed w/ his work ethic. He was worth every penny that I paid. I highly recommend him.

They did a great job - plowed the driveway, shoveled the walk and by the garage, sprinkled an ice melting agent. I am outside their typical area, but they said if I don't need snow removal done the day of, they can generally do my drive the day after the snowfall, which actually works fine for me.

Very responsive. Do good work at a reasonable price: snow removal, lawn mowing, hedge trimming. Reliable.

Their price is reasonable. I'm highly satisfied and I've been using them for 20 years now. I would say that from a routine stand point, they do a very good job and what stands out is that they're willing to respond to special requests on a timely basis. I find them to be very friendly and customer service oriented.

Firstly, I found Misko Landscaping on Angie's List and contacted them despite a bad review. Should have listened to reviewer! I was interested in a quote for mulching, seeding, aerating, clean-up and mowing. Grace Misko arrived as scheduled, was personable and knowledgeable. I mentioned that I found her company on Angie's List and she stated that she did not know how her company was on Angie's List as she did not register with them. Grace mentioned that a client must have registered Misko Landscaping with Angie's List. Confusing from the beginning! Upon receipt of estimate, via email, no letter-head was utilized and estimate was basic, no descriptives. I responded to Grace's email with questions to clarify the specifics of her estimate. She replied very briefly to some questions but did not clarify. Ironically, what was discussed in person suddenly was beginning to change on paper (email). What changed was what would be included (i.e. Originally, Grace stated that edging was included with mulching and later on paper it was not). This is only one example of conflicting information and there are several. I wanted clarification as to what was discussed and what was on paper. Only the paper matters, do not trust ones words! I emailed her again to please clarify and she responded by telling me to look for another lawn care company. Lastly, I wasted my precious time, do not waste yours!

Called Misko Landscaping and requested a quote for leaf clean up. They asked for my information and in one day I received a call back with the quote as well as a time that the work could be performed. I called back with my approval and they came the day as promised. The work was exceptional. All the leaves and branches were taken by them. We even had a couple of large branches and they took those as well. I'm extremely pleased and would highly recommend to others.

I called Misko primarily to get someone to mow my lawn and maintain my yard on a regular basis. I also had a couple of projects I wanted done. I have a small yard, and I had trouble finding anyone willing to mow it. Misko returned my call immediately, and Grace came out the next day and gave me an estimate. It was very reasonable and they started work that week. I also had them install pavers along the side of my house and extending the patio in the backyard. They look great. They also built a raised planter bed for my vegetable garden. The work was done efficiently, quickly and punctually. I am very happy with the work and plan to continue using Misko on a regular basis.

I AM STILL IN DISBELIEF!!! Grace from Misko is the one of the most moronic, rude, clueless, and ignorant people I have ever met and avoid her at all cost! I would like to start by saying that I have never posted a negative review on here and we've been on Angie's List for years, but I still can't believe what just happened. First of all, and this isn't even the worst thing that happened, but I called Misko and talked to Grace and set up an estimate for this morning (5/18/2012) at 8 am. I waited and waited with no sign or even phone call from her for almost two hours. I even called her and left a message at around 8:20 and left a message for her. At 9:45 Grace called and said that she came this morning and couldn't find my house and also did not bring my phone number. She said that she came down the driveway with 3 mailboxes (and they have the house numbers on them, of course), got to the second house and then turned around and left when the second house wasn't our number. SO...she went down a driveway with 3 mailboxes and then didn't have enough common sense to drive down to the third house! Or to even take the phone number for that matter. Now here is what totally blew my mind. Please keep in mind that not only did we JUST have our first baby(and anyone who is a parent knows how chaotic it can be), but it's been raining a lot lately (so grass has really been growing), AND we are calling them because we need a lawn company. Grace finally shows up at around 10:15, already 2:15 past our scheduled time. I walk outside with the baby in the stroller, and here is the exact conversation: Me: Hello Grace: Did you just move in here? Me: No, why? Grace: The grass is so long. Why haven't you cut it? Me: Now I point to my baby in the stroller, smile, and say and quot; We just had a baby.and quot; Now Grace says: But why haven't you cut your lawn? And then I say and quot;Because it's been a bit crazy around here (understatement!)....we just had a baby!and quot; And then this woman has the audacity to say to me, in a very stand-offish tone, and quot;Well, I have child too...but why haven't you had your grass cut?and quot;. I WAS TOTALLY FLOORED!!! I immediately told her to leave. She is without a doubt one of the most clueless, ignorant, irresponsible, and rude people I have ever met in my life. I just wanted all the good people out here on Angie's List to know to avoid this company and save yourself the headache and frustration that unfortunately I had with this woman and to find yourself a better company, as I will now be doing.

We have found them to be very responsive and polite. When my 7 year lobbed a ball in the gutter - they were out the next day to remove it. All of the work has been excellent and they are nice to deal with as well.

All lawn care was well done and efficient

Misko did a good job and we will likely use them next summer.

I have been using them for about 4 years. I like their cost and they are punctual. My yard looks fine and I am satisfied with them. They also do our snow removal. They respond quickly and they do a very good job.
