I've always enjoyed my experience with MJS and look forward again this year to renewing my service. They start the mowing promptly in the season right when the grass starts to grow quickly until the early fall. They have certain full season packages, which are probably the way to go for most, but I'm on a very limited budget so I asked them to come mow every two weeks, which is (for me) a perfect balance of having a trimmed lawn and some money left. They were happy to accommodate. When MJS comes to do my annual "trim back the plants/bushes/trees from the house siding" they do a really excellent job at an extremely reasonable price, and they always throw in a couple landscaping extras to boot (shaping the bushes in the front of the house and weeding the front garden patch).
Description of Work: Lawn mowing as well as bushes/trees pruning & cutting away from the house.
They built my patio and have done pavers too. He is part mason and part yard guy. He has a good artistic sense; he is very creative.. He has planted trees too. I couldn’t imagine using anyone else. They also mow my lawn, treat and condition it as well. They mulch and put down treatments so that everything grows in the spring. He has also snow plowed for me in the winder too. He is dependable and shows up. He definitely takes pride in his work. He has good equipment and good employees working for him. If there is ever an issue, he sends them right back and gives me personal attention. He is reasonably priced as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any friends and family.
Description of Work: They had a professional planner come in. I had a computerized blueprint and they have completed about 3/4ths of my landscaping.

They do good work. Their prices are competitive and they do what they say they are going to do. They do things on time and I also hire them to do landscaping for the local cemetery, about 25 acres. They mow and they do a lot of trimming around headstones. They also help maintain some landscaping as well.
Description of Work: I used them in the fall of last year to mulch around my house. They also planted some landscaping plants. I have about 100 acres myself.

I contacted this company via email and we scheduled an appointment to look at some landscaping problems and discuss possible solutions. We agreed on a day and time and they just never showed up! Obviously, I would never refer this company to anyone, ever!

Hello Mr. (removed member name), We do not have anybody by your name in our records, but we did an estimate for that address this spring for a Mrs. Marianne Smith. We stopped in to do the estimate on 4/29/14 but no one was at home to go over details. We followed up with a phone conversation and recommendations for the weed control in your juniper ground-cover beds. We regret that you did not find us helpful, and would appreciate if you would reconsider doing business with us. Thank you!

He did not show up after the first snowfall. When I called he said his equipment was not working. From there on out, he was a no show and a late show. One morning I awoke to find two men (his employees) urinating outside my bedroom window. Based on the lack of performance, and peeing in my yard, I would never use MJ Lawncare for lawn service, either.
Description of Work: He was hired to plow the snow from the driveway and shovel the sidewalk to the front door every time there was 3" of snowfall. He was to do this by 9:00 a.m.

[Member Name] paid $315.00 for a fixed price snow removal contract in the 2013-2014 winter. The driveway is very small, hence the low price. This was a low priority agreement in the beginning, which simply means that the job priority is on our route by geographical order, ( i.e we won't have to deviate from our route to get the job done by a certain time.) Unfortunately a new employee missed the stop on the 2nd snowfall, (we serviced it within 15 minutes of receiving the phone call) and after that Mrs. Woodward insisted we have the driveway clear at a certain time of day. That would not be an unreasonable request, if the client was paying for a high priority agreement, however this client was not willing to upgrade to that type of agreement. We always arrived within 3 hours of snowfall ending, but 3 times it had been shoveled already. Several times we cleared it early (although it was still snowing heavily) trying to accommodate the client's schedule, only to have it snow another 3 inches by the time she left for work, in which case she didn't seem to notice that it had been cleared, and we would still get a complaint, too put it mildly. And then we would go back and clear it again. I don't think [Member Name] would have gotten the amount of work done for the $315.00 she paid from any other company, we lost a lot of money on that job because of the severity of the winter, and now a negative review as well. Below are the service dates, times, and accumulations we serviced the property. 11/26/13 1-3 inches 6:30 AM 12/9/13 1-3 inches 1:30 PM 12/14/14 4-8 inches 10:00 AM (already cleared) 01/3/14 3-6 inches 10:38 AM 1/18/14 3-6 inches 9:30 AM (already cleared) 1/22/14 1-3 inches 10:23 AM 02/3/14 1-3 inches 12:04 PM 2/5/14 1-3 inches 10:00 AM (already cleared) 2/10/14 3-6 inches 2:04 AM 2/13/14 6-9 inches 3:41 PM 2/18/14 3-6 inches 8:30 AM We have no control of the snowstorms timeline or township plowing schedules. The employees "relieving themselves behind the house in the middle of the night" is unprofessional, I apologize for that, and this is the first I had even heard of it. We serviced over 50 accounts per snowfall, and there are bound to be incidents when equipment breaks, slippery conditions delay, and the overall harsh climate and demanding nature of the snow removal business leave a residential customer who paid a pittance (expecting premium service) with some shoveling to do. Unfortunately for the hardworking self employed individual, those are usually the most demanding customers.

Never received an estimate that was asked for. Did not receive call backs. Would not recommend due to the unprofessional and discourteous behavior of their personnel.
Description of Work: I called and asked for an estimate several times. I finally had a visit and walked my property to explain the lawn services I was requesting. I was promised an estimate and received none despite calling 3 times asking for the follow-up.

Estimate #733 for lawn aeration, fertilization, and mulching ( not tree service ) was sent to[member name removed]on 4/11/13. He resides outside of our general area (Zion) and thus his free estimate request was not as prompt as it should have been. While we always try to provide a free estimate promptly, it is difficult in the busiest time of year to accomplish it. That is why we now have an Instant Online Quote tool on our website www.mjslawncare.com where prospective customers can measure their property square footage and get an instant quote for most lawn services. We have had great success with this tool, and so hope to eliminate the frustrations far too often associated with getting prices from lawn care contractors.

I contacted the owner Mike for an estimate to provide lawn care services at my rental property. He came out and looked at the property and provided an estimate of 75.00/service, which was reasonable for the size of my lawn (over 1 acre) and many areas needing string trimming. Mj's provided mowing and string trimming services for one full season, with absolutely no complaints. Although I was from out of town, I could completely trust that the services were being performed on-time and only when they were necessary (unlike many lawn service companies that show up even when no service was needed). Mj's provided a monthly bill by email and was very responsive any time I had a question. I would certainly recommend this company to anyone needing lawn care services.
Description of Work: Mowing and string trimming.

Excellent service! They arrived at 7:30am before I went to work. The owner was very accommodating about paying him later, after they were finished. I was completely satisfied by their service, and the clean up was like they weren't even there. I will definitely be using them in the future, and can highly recommend them.
