I can’t express my appreciation enough to Phil and his crew! His professionalism and expertise are unmatched! I was able to coordinate with him from out of state on behalf of my elderly mom to restore her lawn which was left unattended for months due to another company cancelling service without warning. He promptly visited the property, gave me a very fair quote, sent me before and after pictures and even pointed out some areas of concern not related to landscaping so I can help my mom further. I couldn’t be happier with the level of service and his attention to detail. You don’t come by service like this much anymore. I’d give Little Rest an A+ if I could!

Thanks for your thoughtful and thorough review [Member Name Removed]. Indeed the yard was in serious need of attention, and the neighbors were thrilled to see us there, restoring it to a state anyone would be proud of.

We have been working with Phil and the crew from Little Rest Landscaping since 2013 and they do a great job keeping our summer cottage looking great. They are punctual and we don't feel the need to be there to keep an eye on them. They are more than happy to work out a schedule with you to keep costs down if that is a problem.

It didn't. Contractor failed to turn up when agreed. Unsatisfactory exchange of emails and texts. Pressure to accept hourly rate before discussing the job or the contractor's capabilities. I'm no longer interested.

I was never hired by Bjorne. He didn't contact me via Angies. I tried to qualify him but he didn't respond to me via Angies in a timely manner. He was very rude and vague. I told him ahead of time that I was not going to meet him unless he agreed to my hourly rate. He never responded to that question.

We have been very pleased with our relationship with Phil and the crew at Little Rest. This is a summer home for us, so to have them come reliably is great. I don't have to worry if the work is getting done even when we aren't there to "watch them". Whenever we have ad hoc work, they take care of it and help take a lot of pressure off maintaining the property.

Fabulous! Phil is so professional. He is very fairly priced, because the quality of his work is worth way more than he charges me. He is so usable. I never call him for lawn cars or leave removal. he seems to know when I need him here. I recommend him highly. You will be completely satisfied!
Description of Work: Leave removal, clean-up of driveway, lawn, etc… Lawn "landscaping" in fall and spring, weekly lawn cutting and edging and trimming, etc… You’d have to ask him for “all that he does for me”. I trust him to take care of my property, and it always looks great!

Phil left us a detailed description of what he thought the lawn needed and came prepared to start on day 1. Very professional and courteous. Dethatching made a mess (as it should), but when he left all was tidy and cleaned up. Next came aerating, fertilizing, and seeding in thin spots. Even though things have not really started growing yet, the lawn looks healthier and I'm convinced it will start greening up and filling in soon. Really enjoyed working with Phil and learning from him...plan on having him come regularly to aerate and keep the lawn healthy.

Thanks for that! The lawn should really improve now that we've opened it up to air, water, and nutrients via aeration and dethatching. Smart consumers like you do the right thing by seeking out and acting on good advice. I like to think I provide that. I'm looking forward to seeing good results, especially now that we're getting some good rains.

Thanks for those kind words! Yes, leaf removal is expensive, but we try our best to keep the price down by taking the leaves to be composted instead of to the dump. Like most people in the woodsy areas around here, the volume of leaves you get is mind boggling and very labor intensive. I agree that getting another quote might be a good idea, but I believe it is hard to beat my prices And professionalism.

Thanks! Yes we did a lot of lawn renovation last year, and the results were great. Crabgrass has been replaced with quality turf grass. Green all year! It’s now 5-30-2018 and the lawn is looking great. Turf grass has replaced crabgrass and the property looks so much better.

Excellent quality work. All lawn mowing is excellent, even includes alternating mowing patterns to keep the lawn looking interesting. Any ancillary landscaping has been done with great knowledge and skill, at a reasonable price. Very pleased over the years.

Thanks for taking the time to write such a nice review! We enjoy working on your property, because it's beautiful. Also, we change mowing patterns for two reasons: aesthetics and it keeps the grass from getting matted down.

Hiring Little Rest Landscaping to do our lawn was one of the smartest decisions we made last year! Phil and Roger are hard-working, knowledgeable, reliable, honest and neat. On top of that, they are very nice people! They go the extra mile and the yard always looks great after they're done - a real joy! Roger also did a beautiful job trimming all our shrubbery at the end of the season and he left the place impeccable.
Description of Work: We hired Phil to do weekly lawn mowing and weed whacking of our in-town house, which was $50.00 a cut for our 1/4 acre lot. Also in the Fall we asked him to trim all our shrubbery which was a huge job. Roger did a great job!

Phil and the team did a complete yard clean up for the fall. This is a new home for us, so we didn't have a chance to get to any of the fall clean up. I found Phil on Angie's List and he was able to come and to the job. He actually tried to come on an earlier date, but with the high winds didn't even attempt it as it would have created more of a mess in the neighbors yard. Not the first impression you want to make so I appreciated his judgement on that. They rescheduled for a few days later, came in and took care of the job. All looks good.

Thanks for that review! Yes, the winds that first day were unfavorable to say the least. Sometimes you can work with them, but that day was horrendous, so we had to reschedule.

Phil Schuck and a helper arrived for our regular lawn care program. One of them mowed using a commercial ride-on mower, while the other did the trimming with a gas-powered weed whacker. All grass clippings were blown off walkways and roadways back onto the lawn. I prefer he mulch the grass cuttings back onto the grass. Phil's prices are very reasonable. Our lot is a corner lot, 1/2 acre in size with our house and vegetable garden and plantings taking up some of the space. In addition, Phil recently core-aerated the lawn and over seeded. Upon my request, Phil uses a combination of grass seed and clover. Phil also uses an organic fertilizer on our lawn. He limes when necessary. He does a grub treatment only when necessary in the spring. And he does one pre-emergent treatment for crab-grass. Other than these two, our lawn care is entirely organic. The prices of the organic fertilizer is a little higher than conventional, but Phil's prices are vey competitive. Any requests like leaving leaves in the beds in the fall, for natural insulation over the winter, are respected. He is a competent and professional worker. His staff are very competent as well. I would recommend him and his services.

Thanks for that nice review! As complicated and large as your yard is, we enjoy working on it because when we're done, it looks so good. I'm hoping to do more weed control in the front yard, as the previous owner apparently neglected that a bit too long. You are great clients, and I look forward to working with you for a long time!
