Ross and his team removed a lot of leaves but left the yard littered with stick and debris. He argued that when I asked for a "Spring Cleanup" I did not specify raking the yard. He previewed the yard and estimated 200$. When I was dissatisfied, he said it would cost an additional 100$ to complete the job. We agreed to an added 70$ and they did come back to remove some sticks but many remain. No doubt my yard has its challenges but I expected an accurate estimate and a complete job from a "professional."

Response from Ballance Lawncare
I have you on my list for an estimate today. I do my estimates while I'm working in your area. Can you give me a chance before you give me a negative review? This is a busy time of year and I'm trying to get everyone in.

Very well. Total work took less than an hour and was very happy as they carried away all the debris on their truck, sprayed weed repellent around after the took the shrubs out. Was very happy with the final product at a fair price, would definitely hire again.
Description of Work: Hired Ross and his assistant to take care of taking down a lot of weeds and basic yard care in my backyard.

Badly. I called for a free estimate but did not agree to have any service performed. I received a call at 7:26 in the morning from Blake saying that the estimate was $30 and they were proceeding with the job! While it was bad enough they did this without my express consent (and no contact or contract of any kind) they did a horrible job and left grass clippings all over the lawn! Although I did not approach them while they were cutting (working from home) I feel strongly that in this whole affair they were unprofessional and did a horrible job. I would not recommend them to anyone!

Great- great work, prompt professional service, good price.
Description of Work: Ross took care of my lawn while my house was vacant and on the market. I lived a few hours away so his services were extremely helpful. He kept the lawn nice, performed work promptly, and charged a reasonable price for the work he did. I would recommend to others and would hire again if needed.

Description of Work: We hired Ron Ballance to cut our lawn for the remainder of the season. He came when he said he would, assessed the job, gave us a price and a schedule and then did the first cut and was done in about a half hour. Price was reasonable and the lawn looked nice.

Very pleased with Ballance Lawn Care. He is very responsive and organized. He shows up on our scheduled days, mows the lawn and cleans up very nicely - to the extent that we don't even know he's been there except for our freshly cut lawn. He provides timely billing and charges a very fair price. We are looking forward to continuing his services.

Description of Work: I needed my yard to be cleaned up in the spring and then lawn mowing every 2 weeks. Ross has been very conscientious in doing the work (and pleasant). I plan to continue using his service for fall clean-up and again next year. My only disappointment is that I also hoped for some initiative in suggesting what else needs to be done, but I am not sure how much the company knows about planting and plant care. However, I recommend them for basic maintenance.

Ross provided a very prompt reply to my phone call, met me at the site and sent me a professional estimate the next day. He patiently waited while we worked through a long process to select a provider for this service. Once we finally selected his company, he came and mowed our very out of control lawn several times in the first few weeks. He continues to mow as PA goes through a huge amount of rain and thus grass growing rampantly. He has been very responsive to our wish to do some of the work ourselves. The cost above reflects only mowing the grass. His other services are priced individually, and his was the best overall estimate we received. He is young and energetic as well as professional in his demeanor. There were some adjustments, since this is not a home--there are other people involved in calling him when needed
Description of Work: Lawn mowing and clean up. Provided a bid to do ongoing work for a non-profit facility and is providing ongoing lawn maintenance.
