This work started last summer and still looks terrible. They said the lawn needed to be completely replaces and the area thatched, aerated, and reseeded. They killed all the grass and mounded the thatch around the edges of the yard. When the grass didn't grow there, they came back and spread a little seed which also did not grow. This spring the yard still looked terrible with the thick thatch around the edges. Although we have complained many times since early spring, they claimed it was too cold to plant grass until May. They still have not corrected the mess they made and our lawn looks terrible.

Three properties and three decades later, I have nearly always been satisfied with their services. Now widowed and in a condo, I can use only pest control since the HOA does the mowing, etc. However, I would not hesitate to recommend Tomlinson Bomberger to anyone who desires quality work and is willing to pay a bit more to have it done right and in a timely manner.

They treat 6 times a year. They put weed and seed down and whatever your yard needs they'll do. For the 6 services it runs about $420. I think they're comparable to other people.

It went well. The pest control person was knowledgeable and we think he was effective in helping us rid the problem, though it will be a period of time before we know whether for sure that the ant problem is completely eradicated.

After placing me on the "best program" we began service in the late summer of 2015. After over a year of $100.00 + treatments I'm not satisfied with the lawn. I feel since I'm a small account with them, and my location is a little out of their way, I'm the last guy they think of. I sent an email to the sales man and never got even a reply. The account supervisor seems quite knowledgable and told me "not to worry I have the top plan and they will take care of anything needed". That's not enough for what I have paid, and I am not satisfied with the present condition of the lawn. I cancelled their service and went to the store for supplies. Like anything else- if you want something to satisfy yourself, do it yourself. I'm sorry I entered into this contract and spent this much money on a company who is too busy with their large contracts.

Thank you for reaching out to us last year. I appreciated you letting us know where we fell short last year and appreciate the time you took to talk with me further on the phone today about the issues and concerns you had with our service. We do value our clients at all levels but i apologize that we fell short with your lawn care service in 2016. If we can do anything further to gain your business back, let us know and hopefully we can work together to figure something out. We thank you for your honest feedback so that we can learn how to serve our clients better.

The guys who did the tree work were fantastic! They get an A. Answered a ton of questions for us.My ratings reflect my actual experience with the company and "account manager." One of the account managers visited our house to discuss our needs. We needed two proposals-one for tree service and the other for landscaping. She was friendly and while we were choosing between Tomlinson and another company, she gave us her pitch about how with them the big difference was that we would have an actual account manager that we could call and reach out to about our property. We have a lot of landscaping needs in the future, so we thought this sounded best despite the fact that Tomlinson was more $$. Unfortunately, it really was just a pitch for an undelivered value proposition. Our "account manager" forgot to send out one of our two proposals. She did not return two of my emails: one discussing budget and the other regarding a % off promo (more on that below). The only email she did respond to was the one saying we were moving ahead with the tree service only! She never followed back up with me via a phone conversation we had where she said she would get back to me on the % off promo (again more on that below). Very disappointed. To make matters worse, 6 business days after we accepted our proposal they send us an email with a promo for 10% off a proposal you accept by a certain date. Since we had just verbally accepted ours I emailed our account manager to see if they would honor it in our case. No response. I call her a week later and she says she'll look into it and get back to me. No response. I did however get my bill in the mail and it didn't include the discount, so I guess that's my answer! Look elsewhere for your tree and landscaping needs--we will be for our remaining work! (Sidebar-punctuality rating reflects the fact that the team had to push back our work due to weather. Understandable, but they didn't tell us that until 4 hours after they were supposed to be at our House and me and the kids had sat around waiting for them).

Thank you for following up about your service issue. I am glad we were able to talk over the phone today about the service issue you experienced. Unfortunately we dropped the ball regarding communication and we apologize that you did not have a good experience. We are glad you had a good experience once the work was competed in regards to the tree pruning team but are disappointed we did not to better. Thank you for your feedback and let us know if we can do anything to gain your business back in the future, if it make sense for you. -Greg Tomlinson, Marketing Coordinator

The grass is cut when it is needed -- every week in the summer and then it tapers off after a while. The cost is $18 a week for lawn cutting. We would recommend everything about them. They did an amazing job at our house. Just how thorough they are and what they do stands out about them. They are not the cheapest. They are good.

Proposal was $3495. I used another contractor for $2150. Anthony, the rep, argued with me about running a dual wheel truck in the narrow alley adjacent to house. I asked for a stipulation as part of the agreement that no dual wheel trucks would enter the alley. Anthony argued that it wouldn't hurt anything, to which I rpelied that I've lived here for over 50 years and dual wheel trucks would be up on the narrow sidewalk and would break the concrete and might knock the electric meter off the wall as has happened in the past. Anthony also stated that they'd use a bobcat for the materials and would possibly need to take the fence down to do the work. The contractor I used didn't need a dual wheel truck in the alley, didn't need a Bobcat and didn't need to take the fence down. By using another contractor I saved $1345.

The work on our job started well, with a prompt response to our request for an estimate and a prompt estimate of the work to be done. Parts of the work (removal of medium sized trees, re-sodding) went well and were done within the agreed upon time frame (completion by the end of May). However, the work on creating an area for our playset, which included removal of ivy, regrading of the lawn, and mulching the area, was very poorly done. The initial re-grading of the lawn was not done properly and had to be redone. The estimator claimed that he didn't remember that it was part of the estimate, but it clearly was. Therefore, it was not done before the delivery of the playset, and my husband had to end up doing part of it himself. Communication back and forth over these issues was very poor, and the job did not end up being finished until early August. I would not hire or recommend this company.
