Robert Kelly was good for lawn mowing. They came on a regular schedule and mowed the lawn. However, when we called to discuss more involved landscaping work (weed & seed, mulching), it took repeated calls to receive a call back, and once we did speak with Mr. Kelly and he said he would go ahead and do the work, the work was never done. Repeated phone calls to ask why were left unanswered. Yet, at end of 2014 season, we received a bill for all of the lawn mowing work, which we paid. Now, beginning summer 2015. Men from this company show up at our place and just start mowing the lawn. We never resigned any contract, never contacted Robert Kelly. So, we figure, ok, they're good at mowing lawn, so we'll go with it. However, when we had some extensive landscaping work done (by another company) and contacted Mr. Kelly to STOP mowing the lawn (the lawn needed to be left alone for awhile), again all we got was an answering machine...and someone from RAK services showed up while we weren't home and mowed our lawn, moved our sprinklers without replacing them, and a large mud pit was created. Repeated calls to Mr. Kelly to inquire why this happened have been left unanswered, unreturned. So, they're fine at mowing lawn. Customer service is a zero. If you need to contact them for any changes, any requests (even if it's to do more work for which they would profit), no luck.
Description of Work: Used Robert Kelly for lawn mowing in the summer months for 1 summer and beginning of 2015 summer.

We have been using Robert for lawn care since we moved to the area in 2012. His prices were better than anyone else we received estimates from, and we have always been pleased with his work. I cannot recommend highly enough. He's a fantastic resource.
Description of Work: Robert Kelley provides weekly mowing for our yard during the warm months, and twice per year cleanup in addition to that.

I have used Robert Kelley Landscaping for many landscaping jobs and always was satisfied. He was always conscientious of his work and did a great job (mulching, planting, spring clean up, french drain etc). We asked him to re-seed our front lawn since it was patchy, uneven and overcome with weeds. He came in with a rototiller and dug up the lawn and sliced up our underground dog fence in multiple locations (I told him where it was approximately). He spent some time trying to repair the fence and was worried that he would have to purchase new wire. He repaired it by using electrical tape - now I am worried that the fence won't hold up with just electrical tape. Also, he did not smooth out the dirt or use a roller so the yard remained uneven. The grass grew but was extremely spotty so again the yard was patchy. I contacted Robert many times to discuss the problems by phone and text and he did not respond. One year and $800 later I have the same exact yard (minus some weeds).
Description of Work: Tilled the front lawn and reseeded it.

Description of Work: I started lawn service several months back and have had a positive experience overall. The lawn is mowed timely and looks great. Billing is online and a snap. The only negative has been the gate being left open a couple of times. I will continue to use and do recommend Robert Kelley Landscaping.

The vendor has not responded as promised.
Description of Work: Returned my first phone voicemail request with an agreement to observe my lawn over the weekend and get back to me with quote and details. Mr. Kelley stated that he did lawn work in my area on Tuesdays. No such call with a quote came through. I called back and left a message on the following Monday and have not had that phone call returned.

It went well. For the digging up of the black-eyed susans he responded to my phone call and came out promptly and was able to dig out the plants right then. I had called several other landscapers but he was the first one to actually schedule a time to come. He dug up the plants and raked the soil so that everything looked great. The other day he came when he said and did a great job planting the new bushes. He cleaned up the area and took away the dead plants and branches from the maple tree.
Description of Work: Robert dug out two dead rhododendron bushes and replaced them with two hydrangea bushes. He also trimmed back my maple tree. Previously, he dug up a bunch of black-eyed susans that were taking over my front lawn.

Over all it has gone well and am hoping to have a continued working relationship.
Description of Work: This was to be an ongoing service for bi weekly mowing of our lawn, however it has been an up and down situation. We had a few weeks of bad weather and therefore our lawn was not done. Then we have a wonderful neighbor who while cutting his own front lawn would swing over and cut our front lawn and only our front lawn to which when the landscaper came to do our lawn he saw that the lawn had been cut and never checked the side or back yard and for a month we played phone tag with each other until we finally solved the problem. Other than this little issue the work requested has been well done and on day specified. My husband and I are quite satisfied and would recommend Kelly Landscaping to others. Shirley Pelusi

We purchased a home in this area last February but could not move in until June, due to having modifications made among other reasons. By May, the yard was a jungle. I had several estimates done both for initial cleanup and weekly mowing. Robert personally answered my initial call, and since then he has always been extremely easy to reach if necessary. His quotes were significantly less than his competitors, and I'm glad to have found him. Great guy, great service, highly recommend.
Description of Work: Robert cut back several bushes completely out of control bushes and also does the weekly mowing.

Robert showed up very quickly to give me a quote, showed up on time and did a very nice job pulling weeds, edging and trimming the shrubs around my property. One thing to note is that he is proud of his work and was sincerely interested in what I thought of the job. He didn't finish around my entire property and I emailed him about it - to my pleasant surprise he came back and completed the job fully. He has quoted me on another project involving laying down a river rock bed for drainage and errosion prevention which I intend on calling him back for.
