Tomlinson Bomberger Lawn Landscape Pest Control

We are very satisfied with all aspects of the project. It looks great, the two guys who did the work were very professional and friendly. The estimate was spot on the final cost, and above all it looks great.

They take their time in doing their job, and they work professionally.

Very well....I felt serviced as an individual.

We have been using Tomlinson Bomberger for a variety of Lawn and Garden Services. Our key contact is Bob Kandratavich. He is very reliable, customer focused and an excellent home and landscaping consultant. Since we started working with Tomlinson about 2 years ago we have contracted a number of their services. (1) Lawn Fertilizer and Aeration. as a result our lawn is fuller and healthier. The bear spots and weeds are gone. the lawn is more uniforn and has more street appeal. (2) Tree and Bush pest control and fertilizer. Our trees and bushes are fuller and healthier. If there is any question they investigate and attend to it right away. (3) Tree removal and pruning: We had to have a few large trees removed; one because the electric company cut out the branches and destroyed the tree the other was removed for a deck expansion. (3) Pest control: since they started about 6 months ago. We have not had any issues with bugs or rodents. (4) Landscaping. Our lot was seriously overgrown. With Bob's help and guidance we removed significant portions of the overgrown bushes. We had other contracfors come in for a patio and deck. Tomlinson Bomberger created new foundational plantings and accents. The design is natural light and airy. It complements the patio very well and integrates nicely with the existing landscaping. We will continue to work with Tomlinson., Everyone on their team is friendly, reliable and does a great job. The entire team is focused on customer satisfaction. We highly recommend Tomlinson Bomberger for any of the services listed above.

Based on positive reviews here, I contracted with TB for my lawn care. They promptly sent a representative who was very nice and accommodating. I explained that I was away a lot and needed full service lawn care. I thought he understood that I wanted them to "just do it". That I did not want to have to monitor everything. His plan was to get my lawn into "maintenance mode" and, thereafter, accomplish weekly clean-ups as needed, with bi-annual mulching, pruning, etc. Not cheap, but sounded like what I wanted. A big part of "maintenance mode" was weed preventer. Long story short, no weed preventer was applied, the poor guy who mowed was expected to keep everything under control, which clearly was not workable. The weeds came back full-force in short order and I ended up with all the same work I had before. I tried to work with them... I talked, I sent emails, the rep came to the house again... nothing changed. And, there's no coordination of services... each part of the company operates independently and leaves bills hanging off the doorknob at random times. If you're not home to retreive them, they get wet and soggy, and you're left with having to dry out shreds of paper. All the mowing bills went missing and they put me on credit hold while I was out of town... no calls, no delinquent bills, just credit issues. All in all, it was a disaster. I still have the pest control, which so far is OK, but I've had to force them to call for an appointment so that I can see what they're doing and get the bill. My suggestion: be wary if you're not home all the time; or if you're not in Lancaster where they're based. The guy who mowed for me covered a very wide territory. If it rained, he went missing for days... sometimes two weeks. And, be aware that you will be charged travel time and lunch time for clean-ups... in my case, an extra $300. And, you will not get an itemized bill showing it. I think my experience was probably unusually bad for this company... just be cautious.

It was time to update the front entrance and shrubbery to our home - it had become tired and blah. We contacted several design / install companies to give us a quote. We found many did not take the time to listen to what we wanted, instead tried to use a cookie cutter solution. Marissa from Tomlinson first came out and first tried to understand what we were looking for before making any recommendations. We talked about options including color, texture, preferences, maintenance - she really spent time with us to understand what we wanted. It then took several design proposals to fine tune a plan to our liking and budget. I can remember being concerned that she was going to get feed up with us with all the back and forth meetings, but if she did, she never let it show. She worked to incorporate all of our wishes and still kept us close to the overall budget we had in mind. In the end, T-B was by no means the least expensive alternative - they were closer to the top of the list than the bottom - but we felt comfortable with the design and assurances that trained professionals would do the work. The design was rather simple so overall the installation went fine. The installers were courteous, professional and paid an enormous amount of attention to detail. I remember thinking it was taking them a long time for what I thought was a rather small job. There was one small oops in the hardscape install that struck me odd. We mentioned to Marissa and by the next day she had someone come out and they took care of it quickly. Overall it was a very positive experience dealing with Tomlinson Bomberger.

They were very good. They were very responsive. We called them for an emergency. We had wasp nesting between our walls, ate through our inner wall, and entered the house. We called them, and they came out within the hour.

They are out here all the time. The price depends on the service performed. It is usually between $50 and $100. They are expensive.

No story. They show up, do what the need todo, and if we have any questions and requests, they tell us what we need to know.

I have a contract with them. I've been with them for at least 5 years and I don't have any weeds.

We used them first 14 or 15 years ago, and then we used them again last year for the retaining wall and now we use them to make some changes. Our experience with them is good. And they are very responsive, once we agreed on the date, they’re here.

I have used them for 20 years. I have been very happy with them. The owner comes out and talks with me. We go over everything every season. We go over the proposal, and if I do not want to spend that much they give me options. They listen to me.

I like their service and we have no problems with the reoccurring program we are on.

They solved the problem. They come out quarterly, they are timely and do a good job.

They are very accurate. They mow the yard good and take care of the weeds. They were knowledgable about what trees to put in our yard.

We liked everything but my husband is very particular and they asked to put in something we hadn’t heard of and it was a good idea to be put in but they didn’t do it properly. My husband re-did. There were some things that could have done better. It got complicated because this all happened before that humongous rain we had last year. It’s unfair to say that they didn’t do a good job. Aside from those one or two issues they do really fantastic work when Mother Nature doesn’t mess them around. The workers were very nice and helpful. We made several changes and there was no problem and no arguments. Everything looks good now.

Dealing with carpenter ants is vital to protect the integrity of our home and will continue some level of pest control with Bomberger to protect our investment. I enjoyed a senior citizen discount.

We decided on a full year program because we have had wasps and spiders that were a problem in the past. We had an appointment within a week. The service technician was prompt and courteous. He wore shoe covers to come into the house. He explained thoroughly what he would be doing. When he finished there were no chemical smells. And we have had no more ants!

The work was promptly done. I was encouraged to call if I saw any problems. (I haven't seen any problems.) The reduction in bugs has been wonderful.

person came at set time and date,assessed problem of bedbugs,stated we would need to do alot of packing up of rooms before they could work,answered my questions on some item cleaning.then stated would email or call next day or Monday.We never heard from them again

The contacts with the company were great! (They even followed up this past week to see how the plants were doing!) Due to budget constraints, I was only able to work on the front yard. They removed an overgrown shrub and re-planted. They provided me with watering details and cleaned the dirt/debris from my walk.

They offer excellent quality service. They are a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Their initial visit was to set traps outside for some pests. They did a treatment around the foundation and most of the way around the house, especially in the entrance points. They identified a place where carpenter ants were probably coming in and did a little special extra there. They then did an inside treatment noticing places where insects might come in. They concentrated specially in corners, doors and windows. The contract is for four visits in one year. They will come back and do another treatment outside and check the traps. I have had them out a couple of years ago to check on some trees as they did trees too. I was impressed with that and they offered advice that was very helpful and wasn’t even a part of why I asked them out. They didn’t charge us. They are local company and I like dealing with local company. They are very honest. The person who came out for the initial visit was very helpful to me as a home owner. I followed him around and he answered my questions. He told me what he was doing and didn’t charge m for the advice. They are not the cheapest.

The estimator came within a few days of my call and delivered an estimate when promised. Timing was important as winter was approaching and sod needs some time to root. The sod work was done when promised. The sod was high quality, not like some jobs I've seen with sod that goes down brown or dormant. The ground cover was initially not installed over the entire area we had discussed. I called and when I arrived home that same evening the additional work had been done. It's been a month and the sod seems to have rooted well. I was worried about the ground cover going dormant before it had a chance to root and called to discuss the issue. I was assured that it should be alright and, if not, they would work on it in the Spring. I thought the price was a little high, but I prefer to pay more if the quality is there, which seems to be the case with Tomlinson/Bomberger. I should note that I had asked another landscaper for an estimate. After not hearing from him for a week, I called and got him on vacation out west. The contrast with Tomlinson/Bomberger was telling and drove my decision to use them. I think you may pay a little more with this company, but for me, the quality and service seem worth the extra cost.

They were fairly priced and did an average work.
