It was discussed at the beginning that their crew will come and look at the sprinkler problem and give me a quote. after the review they gave me a sky rocketing quote ($5000-$6000) so i decided to move on with some other company, they fixed the problem in less than $500. two months down the lane I receive $125 an invoice for inspection which I was told that they would just come out and give me a quote, no cost for inspection. Unfortunately, there is no email or txt about this so I can't prove it. The person at the front desk apologizes for the miss communication, but i still have to pay for it. I would not recommend this company. Make sure to get everything in written if you are going with them.

Marcus & his excellent crew did an outstanding job. They went way and above our expectations. We now have a total new look to our home. Not only did they remove the old sod, put in a sprinkler system and landscaped our front yard totally, they built a beautiful deck, built a concrete ramp from the driveway to the deck, took down a huge brick wall partway that was having issues with arches, built new gates to the deck & the front entrance. The crews were amazing, polite and cleaned up after themselves every day. I would hire Marcus again in a flash! I can't wait for spring to get here and the new plants start growing & blooming.

My yard was a jungle. I found Marcus and called him for his services. I'm amazed. Besides doing an incredible beauty of a job, he and his comrades treated me kind and paid attention to all my needs. His price was terrific for the condition the yard was in. I will be returning to Marcus. He and his company is exceptional and honest and kind.

They have excellent workmanship and they are professional and courteous. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: I have used Total Home and Lawn for a little over two years. They have cut my yard on a biweekly basis and they do a terrific job. They also fertilize and sell firewood. In addition they have built a deck, laid a stone sidewalk, laid some stones for landscaping, built a fence and built a phenomenal koi pond with a waterfall and filtration system. They can do everything and they will give you a fair price and they will do a great job!

I have been using Total Home and Lawn for 2 years. They have mowed, trimmed trees, landscaped, layed flagstone, designed and built a pond with a waterfall and filtration system, built a flagstone sidewalk and poured a slab for my trashcans, and built a deck. All of these projects completed timely and with great workmanship. The pricing is reasonable and they bill at the end of the month which is very convenient. All of their employees are polite and professional. I would highly recommend Total Home and Lawn for any project you need.

Marcus, Nate, and their crew at Total Home and Lawn are excellent. Currently they handle all of my lawn care needs. They come every two weeks to care for my yard. They have also helped me with landscaping projects that have completely changed/ improved my yard. They have even helped me pick house plants. They are very fair with pricing and are dependable. I HIGHLY recommend them.

We have hired marcus' team in the past to install new grass, do landscaping, compost and aerate the lawn. All previous services were performed on time, within budget and done professionally with great results. This time was no exception. The team arrived on time and did a terrific job. The large holly hedge is between our house and the neighbors so the team went over, with the neighbors permission,and trimmed that side of the hedge as well. All worked was taken care of professionally and in a timely manner. No trimming or trash was left. This is superior company to work with. Very satisfied.

AWESOME. I would hire this company again in a heartbeat. The work they did was not only professional, but they went above and beyond. Our home looks better than ever. The walkway they built is truly a thing of beauty and when my wife gets home after dark, she has safe access to our home. And the honored their Senior Citizen discount without batting an eye.

Marcus is great. He and his crew did an excellent job. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. His prices are reasonable and fair. I hired him for a one time clean up. After I saw his work, I hired him bi-weekly to maintain my yard. I highly recommend Marcus. The reason I paid him $210 was because there was a ton of leafs from numerous oak trees on my property. And he trimmed numerous bushes which had not been trimmed for 6 months.

Marcus is friendly and down to earth; his quote was within my budget and I took a leap of faith. He was on time for the quote as was the team he sent to the house to perform the work. Bonus points. These guys work hard and diligently in the heat without unnecessary breaks. I'm extremely impressed. I never felt the need to watch either of them. Although I did; it was, that I was impressed with how they got this done. My home's exterior and landscaping definitely looks professional. Is is no longer looking extremely overgrown! I actually enjoy going outside now. I will definitely be use their service on a regular basis. Luke the head crewman; asked me at the end if I like it and if I earned their services. Yes indeed! If you don't want to be swindled and want someone who cares about your things; Marcus is your man. Thank you for the hard work!

Marcus came by multiple times to work with us to re-do our 20 year old yard. He is hugely knowledgeable about plants for our area and has a really nice feel for what would look good and do well here. After we agreed to a plan, he took us with him to the nursery to walk about and decide on what plants we'd like, explaining pros and cons as we went. This was really useful, and kinda fun. He and his very good crew then did the work on our 60 x 150 ft yard (which has more landscaping than grass). They work fast and clean up great; and they are a personable group, which is a plus, I think. We are very pleased with the effort, from planning to implementation and will continue to use Marcus and his company to maintain our new yard. Highly recommend him!
Description of Work: Major re-do of entire home landscaping. Provided outstanding replacement landscape plan. Trimmed existing shrubs; removed bad trees; cleaned out existing beds; replaced and/or moved old plants and added new ones; mulched; removed old, wood bounded raised planting bed and replaced it with deeper, stone block bed for vegetables/herbs and cleaned up afterwards.

I like to pay as I go with the mowing. The house is vacant. He started mowing the lawn without my knowledge and he wasn't collecting. Then I got a bill for 3 separate services for $85 each when we discussed $65. I discontinued the service, and then I got another bill for 2 more lawn mowing services at the $65 rate. I called to ask what the bill was for since I discontinued the service and he said he didn't know I discontinued the service, and I already paid for his services in full.

Response from Total Home & Lawn
I am trying to be professional about this, however, the second bill that this lady is claiming was done after she discontinued service was in fact for work done in the 4 weeks prior to her notifying me of the cancellation. I have the paperwork to prove it! She wouldn't allow me to explain this and hung up on me. Also I had talked to her on the phone in June to ask for an increase to $85.00 after the lawn was getting to high with all the rain. We agreed so I sent a bill for $85.00 then I get the nasty note saying that she is not paying this and to discontinue service. The bill I sent to her last week was for the two mowings on July 3 and July 19. Done before I knew of her wanting to cancel. I told her I was sorry she was upset and that she didn't have to pay me since she thought I was trying to cheat her. If your reading this, please note my other reviews and consider that sometimes you work with bad people and it hurts you.

Marcus came within a day or two of my original call. He was very professional and accommodating. Really seems to care about his customers and building a honest business. The crew arrived on day and time discussed. Marcus was with them and made sure everything was completed to my husband's satisfaction (he is pretty picky). They were very thorough, cleaning out from under shrubs and everything looked beautiful when they finished. We are delighted and will continue to us their service on a bi-weekly basis along with some special projects.

I've been contracting with Total Home and Lawn for many years. Marcus and his team have been a vital part of my landscaping placement and care for years. They consistently do a great job on any project I am working on with landscaping, tree trimming, lawn care, etc.. He takes time to ask questions and makes sure the job is done correctly to ensure full satisfaction. He is professional, his prices are fair and everything is completed timely as promised with a personal touch to make sure customers are satisfied!

I couldn't be happier with the results. The yard looks great. Marcus was always on time and had a fantastic knowledge about all the plants in our yard. I would definitely use his services again.
Description of Work: My lawn needed some serious winter maintenance which included weeding xeriscaped areas in both the front and back of the house, applying weed killer to these areas, leaf pick up, and tree trimming, including the removal of two 15 foot trees that were crowding the side of our house. Marcus met with me to discuss the project and give me a quote. He and his team were back the next week to complete the job.

Marcus came to discuss the problem and solution promptly after I contacted him. He wasn't able to do the work immediately because of prior commitments, but he gave me a very accurate date when he could get started and how long it would take. Everything went very smoothly. He and his men were here when they said they would be and worked hard to get the job finished in a very timely manner. I couldn't be more pleased!
Description of Work: He built a retaining wall around my back porch to prevent water from draining into my house. The purpose was functional, but the result was both functional and beautiful. The wall is made of limestone blocks, and he put a border of white pebbles between the wall and the porch. Everyone comments on how great it looks. It provided a finished look to my house, and it can also be used as extra seating on the porch.

I submitted an on-line request for lawn help to Total Home and Lawn on Tuesday of this week. I received a prompt reply, and Marcus came out and reviewed my lawn requirements that afternoon. He said they would be able to do the job the next morning. They arrived on schedule, and five guys completed all the work by noon. I really appreciate this service as my regular man, of 6 years, was injured on a job and requires a surgical procedure to correct the damage he received. Everyone was very professional, and I am very pleased with the job they did. Thank you so very much for the recommendation.

Marcus came to give me a price the day after I called. He & his crew arrived early to do the work. Marcus aerated and his crew spread 5 yds of compost that was included in the price. Everything was blown clean afterwards, sidewalk, driveway & street. I will be using Marcus for other projects. Highly recommend his company.
