He's done my work for 10 years. It's by service. We agree to do certain type of work and he gives me a rate per hour or per person for each work. I sign off on it to do this, do this, do this. I sign that he does it. I haven't gotten the bill but it will be reasonable. Sometimes, as many as 4 people come out. If it's going to be cutting grass, trimming, hedging and cleaning up, I say they do it in about 15 minutes. Excellent. It leaves a real nice pattern too.

Sean's is efficient and reasonably priced. Lawn looks great, and Sean is helpfully responsive by email (since they usually mow during the day when we are not around).

The last owner of our house and several neighbors had been using this company for various lawn work in the past. So we carried on with them without giving too much thought. For weekly mowing, they have done a good job. For other assignments, however, there has been a tendency to overcharge, to an unreasonable degree. Even worse, the owner acts aggressively rude when charges are disputed. Recently, we made the mistake of letting them weed without getting a quote beforehand, only to discover later that they charged triple of what I expected. Because I was not there to supervise the work, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and paid in full. Two weeks ago, having learning the lesson, I requested a quote for trimming hollies in the front yard. He quoted 16 hours and almost $600. I declined. We negotiated a solution that I'll be present with his crew and it'll be my call to stop the crew at my discretion. On the day, his crew showed up and the foreman agreed that they'll cap the charge at three man hours. The other two crew members witnessed the agreement, and the foreman called his boss to confirm. The end result was okay but not great; but that's the trade-off I preset and accepted. However, when the bill came in, the charge was double the agreed amount. When I raised this with him, he brushed me off. Confronted with facts, he conceded but with a shocking move to unilaterally terminate the service contract, with his signature and company letterhead, for the whole year, with immediate effect and zero notice; and he's done so through a rude e-mail. In fact, we have observed for quite a while that more of our neighbors have switched to other lawn servicers. They must have had reasons. We will do the same, and will not use this company again.

Absolutely perfect. Thank you Sean for an outstanding service. Very professional as well. I contacted him and he replied in a timely fashion. He showed up on-site a couple of days later and went over the plan along with a rough estimate on the spot until a formal one emailed the next day. We had a few days of rain and therefore we waited. The first day after it stopped raining, his crew was on-site in the morning. All I know at this point, it looks great.

We have been using Sean's Lawn Service for years. They are professional, courteous and quick. We just don't worry about our yard looking neat with Sean's in our lives.

They always do a great job - always timely and have even worked around our schedules when we have needed them to. I highly recommend them.

Always the work is done promptly and is thorough. You can't do any better than Sean!

The service was excellent. I used him for about 10 years. He is very responsive and I think the price was very reasonable.

Contacted Sean's after reading Yelp.com reviews. Requested that he provide an estimate for raking leaves and giving the lawn a final mowing for the season. Was quoted at $75 for the service. Since previous lawn services we have used charge $40-$50 to mow, we considered this a good price and asked him to proceed. My husband paid in advance for service. When we returned home the leaves had been partially raked (he neglected to rake either of the side yard areas), one portion of leaves had been piled into our next-door neighbor's yard, and the lawn had not been mowed. We attempted to call to ask why he did not complete the job and were informed that he had, but that we must have had a large amount of leaves fall in a few hours (only on to the untouched areas) to cover his work. The pile in the neighbor's yard he blamed on the neighbor (who was at work at the time). He also stated that the quote had always been for leaves only, and never mowing. A week ago (March 2013) he called to ask if we would like to get onto a mowing schedule with us for the spring season, and when we told him that we were not satisfied with his services nor planning to use him again, he began to argue with us. We ended the call.

The crew was both professional and polite....as was Sean when he met with me to give an estimate. Some of the weeds did grow back despite the efforts of the crew to dig out the roots. I would call them again next spring to see if we can further eliminate what had been an extremely overgrown area.

I contacted this company about a landscaping project. I left a message, but there's been no response in two days. I understand this is a busy time for landscapers/lawn care professionals, but a timely call back would have been respectful.

Outstanding -- they simply showed up and did the job quickly and beautifully each week. They do some nickel and diming on the price that I don't appreciate -- a "bagging fee" for your grass clippings and a "gas surcharge". This really should just be part of the total price. But they also don't ring your doorbell or call each month trying to sell you other things -- leaf removal, gutter cleaning, etc. -- like so many other landscapers do. The other good thing about Sean's is that they self-adjust to the seasons -- the visits slow down then stop in fall -- then start right when you need them in spring -- and get delayed when there is rain -- and you only pay for the times that the guys actually come. That is also much better than other services which charge a flat monthly rate, whether they show up each week or just twice.

Prices are reasonable and comparable with other yard care services in the area -- maybe a little lower than the average. Work is done quickly, so there's a minimal amount of disruption if you happen to be home. They'll bag the grass clippings and leave them neatly at the curb if you want. (I think that costs $5 extra.) I've never had any damage or problems stemming from the work. Each year Sean sends out a form so I can specify what services I want for the upcoming season. The rates are all spelled out clearly. I get an invoice once a month. The few times that I've had to contact Sean, he's been polite and responsive. It's not something I would think about much, but I do get compliments from neighbors on how nice the yard looks. I'm completely happy with the service I get from the company.

Every year we sign a contract in the Spring indicating services that we anticipate and agreeing to the per hour labor charge. They do a very professional job of keeping an eye on the ongoing needs of the yard as well as coordinating with our spring mulch delivery and fall leaf collection cycles.

Been a customer of Sean's for 4-5 years. Will continue to do so. Great service and Sean personally helped resolve issues that came up over several years of service.

Went extremely well as did the year prior. Absolutely no complaints.

I still have a contract with them. They are very good. They’re very accommodating about coming for special projects. After the recent hurricane, I had bushes damaged and I was going to have a party, and the guy arranged to have a crew here to help me clear up the yard. They are reliable and fairly priced. They are very good at what they do. They are excellent. I will use their services again in the future.

Sean has always been polite and professional, and provides honest estimates. He also has shown flexibility in accommodating special instructions, and ensures that his crew understands and performs when different parameters apply to different areas or tasks. Pricing is reasonable and bills are straightforward and honest.

They are reliable and the job was done efficiently. They were easy to deal with and did an excellent job.

Not well only because I called several times and the first time was told that I would receive a call back but I never did. After calling again a couple months later for lawn care and yard work, I left messages but never got a return call.

Very very good job and I would do it again but we needed a little more hand holding on our new lawn. WHen they agreed to do something it was done - prompt, punctual, great job -- but getting hold of someone to, for example, discuss the condition of your lawn was tough...their prices for many of the lawn services were great but I could not get someone on the phone to discuss the different services and with a new lawn, we needed some more help...They are great, particularly if you already know what you want.

He was very easy to work with and the workers do a good job. Their professionalism stands out.
