Natural Beauty Lawn Care

DId not provide services....and Angies List has been slow in resolving

Got a call saying the company was very busy, they would get the service in next week. I told them any day was fine. They came out the next week and performed the job. No one inquired about lawn boundry lines so aome areas were missed. I did notice many areas of grass perk up within weeks.

A crew arrived and began the work. I had no experience with laying sod so I assumed it was being done correctly. Later that afternoon I looked out and saw that the yard was not completely sodded. One crew member who was there said they were finished. I was told they were not told to sod the whole yard as there was some grass in some areas. This looked terrible as the old grass was at the best only patchy. The boss was called and when I spoke with him he said I must have misunderstood him when he estimated the job. I thought I was very clear when telling him what I expected done. In the end he did authorize the crew to finish the lawn. They did complete the job but several months later when Spring arrived I saw that sod had been placed over a huge patch of day lillies that were pushing up through the sod. I had told the crew about these lillies and that they needed to be dug up. I ended up trying to remove the day lillies as best as I could. It is now a year later and I still have day lillies and some hosta peeking up through the sod. Most of the yard looks great and I appreciate them completeing the job but I dont think the sod was matched very well as I see many different types of grass and although there is a nice blanket of grass there are spots that stick out due to the color and kind of grass.

My property looks great and the services provided were so reasonable! They got a little behind schedule due to weather but it was a rough spring and winter weather wise and that's the nature of outdoor work!

They did the work we asked but we just could not keep putting off landscaping work that needed to be done while we waiting for them. This is the last Big Deal I will purchase. They sound good but they don't always work out so well.

Pete & his team are true professionals. The guy loves his job & loves to keep my landscaping look beautiful. If you want the job done, contact Pete.

It went great. They did everything I wanted. They were on time and very thorough and very professional. They were thorough and I didn't have to tell them more than once what I wanted them to do. I told them this is what I want and they just did it and they were quick and efficient and very pleasant to work with. Not everybody is. I would certainly recommend them. It was affordable, they didn't try to up sale me on anything, so I didn't feel pressured to buy more services.

It was fine and he did the job. It was about 6 months later and he did the job and did not even tell us when he was coming. He got the job done quickly and in about 30-40 minutes.

We realize that it is a busy time for landscapers so we were patient in waiting for a agreeable meeting time. Pete the owner met us after work hours and we toured the property. He explained that they use special shovels for expert edging and he agreed that the price would include the hedge trimming on one side of the backyard (a total of 5 bushes). Pete assured us that we did not nee to be home when they perform the work, although we did give many options for a time that we would be home. They came without notifying us and we were not home. My husband emailed photos of the shoddy work to Pete and he gave excuses as to why the edging seemed to be poor. Pete assured my husband in a phone conversation that he would return to view the work. He never showed and the hedging never took place. This is THE LAST TIME that we purchase work in advance through Angie's List, or any other offer.

It was a good experience and everything went well. The work had the desired effect, and the lawn looked much better afterward.

Pete is a real professional and well educated on his profession. Originally a previous contractor had messed my grading pretty bad and my backyard turned into a lake when it rained. Pete offered a logical, cost effective solution and installed a drainage system that ran to the street and installed it into the back of the street drain underground. I was impressed with his concept/idea and applied for permits and got approval quickly. It works perfectly. Pete also has beautiful grass seed and has a high degree of knowledge on lawn care. He took the time to answer all of my many questions.

It turned out well. I had no complaints with them. They were great to work with and showed up when they were supposed to. The scheduling was pretty easy.

Pete is the consummate professional and provided me exactly what I asked for. His estimate was thoroughly detailed with explanations of each specific portion of my landscaping requests. My wife and I decided not to have the job completed at the time simply because of extenuating circumstances that came up after Pete provided the estimate. I would certainly use Natural Beauty Lawn in the future for my landscaping needs. ****Please see my most recent review to see how Pete treats customers once they hire him****

Fertilization seemed effective but crabgrass preventer didn't seem as effective as other products I've put-down personally...maybe 2013 was just a tough year for crabgrass.

After a rough start trying to get this project rolling, all went very well. We purchased the service in March, but had to wait until May 2nd for an appointment - delays due to poor weather were the cause, not anything the service provider to could do anything about. The work was performed in a timely manner and the yard was neatly cleaned up after all of the chipper work.

Went great. Did exactly what was promised in the Big Deal. Also provided some information on how to prevent/minimize such weeds in the future as well as general landscaping pointers.

After responding inadequately once to my question, this provider disappeared and decided not to respond to any more questions. Lesson learned? Don't ever question this yard-worker's cost. He will disappear.

The purchase was cancelled. PLEASE DISREGARD THE RATING ABOVE, AS THE SERVICE WAS NEVER USED. THE VENDOR SAID I LIVED OUTSIDE HIS AREA, AND THE SERVICE NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD TO ME.

Machinery used apparently was leaking some sort of fluid and did more damage than good. Large areas of grass were killed.

Pete is a very nice personal young man. His biggest problem is lack of experience. Trimmed Ardivatis bushes and really did a horrible job. Had to re pay a different landscaper and the bushes still have not totally grown in properly. Planted several bushes that were not right given the spacing of the landscape of the house. On several occasions hired crews who did terrible work. His bookkeeping for payments received ,there are problems with checks received. Basically if Pete took direction and cleaned up part of his landscaping company, this business would offer better service. I think he will get better in time.

Have used this provider before. They do good work and if see any problems will correct.

The service turned out fine. They called to schedule, and it wasn't necessary for me to be there, and I wasn't there when they came, so when I came from work that day, there was a flag in the yard indicating they had treated it. The only dealings that I had was scheduling, and so it was fine.

No contact since 4/10/2014 from the vendor despite repeated attempts to contact the business.

Peter and workers did a great job 'spring cleaning' my property. removed two trees as well as above info. Professional as were the workers that came. Did a great job cleaning up. Did all that was expected, on time and within budget. Professional, courteous, great experience. Expect to continue to use Peter and his company for ongoing maintenance, lawn cutting and future projects. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I bought the big deal and it was for $39 for weed control and a lawn fertilizer application. I did hear from Pete initially and he emailed me to say that they would be performing the services after the deal expired due to a backlog. He also said they did not have my phone number. This was fine but I called him to say that we also wanted an estimate for some landscaping and tree shaping or removal, depending on what the situation called for. He said it was fine and he would look at the trees when they came out. My husband took pictures of the trees in the meantime so we could send them to him so he would see beforehand what we were talking about. I asked him when he was coming and he said that we did not need to be home for the service to be performed. I asked how would we know they were there and he said they would put flags on the lawn. I figured we'd get the estimate as well, so we'd know he was there. My father also purchased a big deal as well. Somehow, the orders were combined between my dad and I and Pete had my address down twice as having the service performed. Nevertheless, he made arrangements with my dad to do his service first. He told my dad while he was at his house that he had our house on the schedule right afterwards and he would be going to our house next. I had spoken with my dad that afternoon and he told me Pete had said they were coming right afterwards. When I arrived home from work that evening (after 5:30 pm), there were no flags on the lawn and there was no estimate. I was slightly miffed but I figured I would call Pete the following day to find out what happened. The next morning as I was getting ready to leave for work I looked outside and noticed someone out on our lawn. Low and behold, it was Pete and his crew. They were spraying the lawn - no one knocked on the door though my car was in the drive. Perhaps this is common practice for this type of service, so I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I approached them before they left and asked the one guy if he was Pete. He said yes and I asked him why they did not come the previous day, when he told my dad he coming. He said they had a bunch of jobs that ran late and he was behind schedule and our house was not close to where they had to go. Fine - I get it but he was the one who said the application of the weed control needed to be put down as early in April as possible for it to take. The final straw for me was the estimate he gave us - we asked for an estimate on landscaping and tree shaping/removal and provided him with pictures of 3-4 trees. The estimate we received was for lawn service (weekly/weather permitting) and the cost to cut down one branch on one tree. Not sure what happened to the rest. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed. I shouldn't have to chase these guys down to do their jobs. If they can't get the details straight, they shouldn't be running a business. This seems to be the norm for most of these guys in this business. I have yet to find a contractor or service provider for construction or home improvement projects that I am overly impressed with - even with using Angie's List. I guess their business is so good right now they don't have to worry about petty things like details, customer service or customer satisfaction. Must be nice - if I pulled that crap in my job, my clients would make sure I didn't work again.
