At first it seemed like this would be an excellent provider. They accommodated some changes in our schedule as well as some weather delays. They came out early to do some of the heavier work to be certain they could complete the work on the scheduled date as we had two "Good Deal" coupons. The initial work went well except for them pulling off the top of some fencing around the pad for my trash can. When they came out to do the final work I pointed out the damage to the owner who assured me that he would personally fix it. It is still broken. Additionally, one of the workers (accidentally, I'm sure) took one of my yard tools with him when he left and it took over a week for them to find it and return it. They were supposed to bundle or bag the sticks and yard debris for the city to collect on trash day, but they just piled it on the street behind my fence. When it hadn't been picked up after three weeks, I went out and bagged some of it and made a neater pile with the rest, and it was picked up the next trash day.
Description of Work: Trimmed shrubs and bushes, cleaned up yard debris, cleaned out some flower beds.

4 guys showed up to do the job and throughout the couple hours they were out, I notice at least 2 of the guys just standing around. At one point one of the men were literally picking up leaves from the driveway -- leaf by leaf -- and putting each leaf individually in the garbage bag....needless to say a really inefficient use of my money. I went out and asked if he need a broom or rake and eventually he understood what I was getting at. I felt like I had to make it visible that I was watching for things to be done efficiently. Moreover at the end of the service, the owner asked what my husband did for a living which I thought was unprofessional. It was clearly so he could figure out what to quote me. Overall not completely terrible; however, wasn't pleased. Would not use this company againi

Response from A Cut Above The Curb
[removed member name], first and foremost, I apologize for any misunderstanding or invasion of privacy you may have felt during our walk through at the end of your scheduled project. It is not my practice to inquire about client’s professions; this was only a result of discovering we went to school together 17 years ago. You and I walked around looking at your property and talked about our children and career paths. As for the services provided after the initial purchase, we made contact within 48 hours and followed up within the next two days after we did not hear back from you. We then got you on our schedule promptly. The day of service we arrived on site early and were able to complete additional services requested for you, by you last minute. As for billing, you were billed for the additional services at the same hourly rate that you paid Angie’s List initially. You paid the same hourly rate above and beyond the initial 4 hours purchased which you agreed to the day of service. You did not have any clear bags (which are required through the special and we provided them for you at no cost). There is also no haul off of debris included (which we did for you at no cost). You walked around in amazement and stated you would be hiring us again to come out and do more work. I asked you how everything went and you were impressed. We even gave you almost two additional man hours at no charge. You received almost 10 man hours and only paid for 8. Paid $55.00 for your lawn visit and were not charged for bags or haul off. I would have been more than happy to remedy any concerns the day of service, had there been any brought to my attention ma’am. I run my business out of honesty and integrity and bill for services on a structured basis NO MATTER WHAT POSITION A CLIENT HAS IN LIFE. We do not up charge for certain clients and down charge for others. If anything, I personally feel as though you received more than what you paid for. For what it is worth, we do appreciate your business and wish the outcome was different. We enjoyed the transformation of your property that day and were looking forward to working with you again. We wish you the best, thank you AND STAY BLESSED!! Robert L.

I was so impressed by this group. They were professional and had great follow-up. Mostly, it was the customer service out of the office-when we were rained out they took the initiative to proactively reschedule the very next day. The crew worked quickly and professionally and the office proactively reached out afterwards to make sure we were happy. When there was a part not done to our liking, the crew came back the very same day to cheerfully address it and confirm we were happy with the solution. SO impressed-that's how you get and keep customers.

This crew came out and laid 30 bails of pine straw and 8 bags of mulch within the time my Angie's List deal allotted. They were professional, friendly, and very accommodating. Everyone had a smile! I highly recommend a cut above the curb - I will use them again for sure!

We had a tough job- removal of 5 big beds, rather than adding them. Previous tenants had also let small trees run amok and we ended up with several with 3-4 inch trunks next to our house, and in beds where they shouldn't have been. Several landscapers didn't even show up for an estimate when they saw the job, and A Cut Above the Curb was 1/2 the price of other estimates we had. All workers are very professional; we decided to keep them for a regular lawn service as well. It should be noted that part of the agreement was that they could take longer than usual. . .ended up being 3-4 weeks total rather than two but that was OK with us.
Description of Work: Removed 5 beds with large bushes and small trees. Cleaned out, trimmed and mulched remaining beds. Re-seeded yard.

The owner and crew arrived at the agreed time and went right to work. They parked on the street, their idea, to avoid the risk of scratching a new driveway. That meant pushing wheelbarrows a greater distance to get the mulch in the beds. The owner was careful to account for all the time purchased through the "Big Deal" at the end. I honestly didn't think they could finish all the work I asked for in the allotted time. They finished everything and did a great job of cleaning up right down the cleaning the gutter next to a road under construction. I am very satisfied with the work they did I would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: They trimmed every bush in my yard, raked and bagged approximately 60 bags of leaves and cleaned out and mulched two large flower beds.

Raked pine straw, prune bushes, made the yard presentable. They did both the front and back yard. Theycame twice, once for the front yard and another time for the back yard. They took it upon themselves to do the back yard because they ran out of time the first time when they were doing the front yard. They took the responsibility for the follow up, with no cost to me. I was very impressed by their honesty and effort to satisfy the customer. I would be glad to use them again, and tell others about them.

Arrived on time, with crew, worked hard all day. Due to the extent of the cleaning, and some previous commitments, one crew member returned the next morning to quickly finish all that had been promised. Everyone was courteous, respectful, knowledgeable. A wonderful surprise was a "thank you" gift from the company! I received a beautiful "sparkly" to hang in my spanking clean window - when the sun strikes it, there is a beautiful "rainbow" effect. Even my kitties were "thanked!" Another great feature is that I am still "in touch" with this company via newsletters and emails. A very respectful, thankful and gracious company. I will definitely have them back!
Description of Work: Made the exterior of my house look wonderful and shiny!. From cleaning the roof, the siding, the windows (inside and out and the blinds), rescreened all screens (they were old and somewhat "frayed"), including the sliding patio screen and the storm door screen. They also cleaned the cement porch, and the front walkway. Everything looked "new" again!

Great! Arrived on time, worked quickly, gave detailed info on how I could maintain by myself, or offered to continue services. Knowledgeable and reassuring. Also willing to give "special Angie's promotion" rate for the rest of the year, or to anyone else I made recommendation to. Unfortunately, I could not partake of the offer at the time, but I definitely would use their services again! My yard looked wonderful, and my back and legs felt great!
