We hired Grassworks to mow our lawn for a portion of the summer. The first time the crew visited, we showed them a cedar playset and asked that caution be used around the playset with string trimmers because a trimmer at full throttle will damage the wood. The normal drew did a great job. One week a different crew came to the house and caused a lot of damage to the playset. I e-mailed the owner and set a photograph. The regular crew returned the next week and acknowledged the damage and took a photograph. The owner never addressed the issue. I was very disappointed that a professional lawn service would allow such damage to occur and not follow up with a customer to resolve the issue.
Description of Work: Grassworks mowed my lawn, trimmed, and cleared trimmings from the driveway and sidewalk.

Well, after the 4th mowing, my mother was here and I was at hospital and when I got home, it didnt appear that the grass was cut. Mother met me at door all upset over the job that was done. "Crop circles" is the phrase she used and it was the correct one. No borders were trimmed, grass had not been blown from walks or drive, side yard had not been touched (reason I thought they had not been) , and the list could continue. I immediately called Brad, the supervisor, explained very gently what had taken place and he said he would be out the next morning. He came out, did a walk about and his words were, AND I QUOTE, "IT'S A BAD JOB. I SEE WHERE THEY MISSED WHOLE AREAS. WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT." Now most would think, I did anyway, that they would be here the next day, well then for sure the next. No. I called a few days later and the owner fired us! I've never been fired as a consumer before, especially when I never raised my voice, nor used foul language. I laughed. I thought he was joking. As a courtesy, he said they would mow one more time, "not leave us hanging", but that would be the last. AND THEY HAD THE NERVE TO CHARGE FOR IT, WHEN THEY NEVER TOOK CARE OF THE "BAD JOB". Thanks Mr. Palmer. I had even apologized to Brad for making a complaint. My one and only. I WAS FIRED.
Description of Work: Cut grass, some of it. We have a tricky border and many beds. Representative came and told my 85yr mother and me everything we wanted to hear. Unfortunately I didn't know the difference between a mower and a walk behind. We were however, very emphatic about no commercial equipment. They were here 5 times, 3 of the first visits, two men - one with a regular mower and one with walk behind (which he stood on riding). Job was okay but nothing to brag about. There were several areas where the grass was rolled down and I asked to have it cut shorter, they were set for 3.5 inches, then 3, finally 2.5"-which is what I requested initially. They also cut/trimmed all shrubbery and bushes except for lilac tree, my fault as I forgot to mention it. They used power equipment, which I could have done but another company had always done it by hand - outcome - okay but not for the price. We were going with this new company for full service including snow removal and other upkeep that I was having trouble keeping up with therefore we said nothing hoping for the best - a "getting acquainted" period. For their 26 years in business, only 2 reviews? I now know why. Complain and you are fired as a consumer. I would be happy to forward the placating e-mails, double-talk is not something I do or understand. Fired. A consumer. Made two requests about the height of the grass and the initial representative came to see where they missed and agreed it was a bad job. Then Mr Palmer called and told me to find someone else. Just like that. I misunderstood. I interfered with his workers- I wanted the grass shorter. They were the ones that told me how they do it and had to call whoever- seemed scared of something. I now know who. What happened to businessman service? At no time were voices raised just find someone else. We were looking for a company that would do ALL YARD AND TREE SERVICE. Snow removal. They talk a good game BUT those Palmers, their way or you're out. Can't wait to see his rebuttal! %3

We have employed Grassworks for over 10 years. We began with just lawn mowing and have eventually moved to complete outdoor maintenance of our lawn & yard. We could not be more pleased with the quality and consistency of the work as well as the reliability and integrity of the management and crew. We pay them a weekly rate for the mowing & maintenance and then are charged by the job for the additional services.

I really like the owner; he was the one that came out to give me the estimate then showed up to do the work with another fellow. The job was successful and I wish I had enough money to hire them again; they were really good. I thought their price was a little high but I have nothing to compare it to. I will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Grassworks for lawn work including tree planting, seeding and rock removal.
