They didn't do a whole four hours. I was here and then I left to go to the store and I wasn't gone that long. They might have done two hours of work. I complained about it and they said there was two of them and so it was doubled. I wasn't happy with that. They didn't do the back, they were gone when I got home.
Description of Work: This was a "Big Deal" for four hours of lawn or yard work.

Response from A Cut Above The Curb
Mrs. [Member Name Removed], I pray you are well! I apologize about the misunderstanding of what could be done in the hours you purchased but I was personally on site that day and we stayed for over the 2 paid hours with two people. We actually gave you 5 hours of work for your purchase of 4. We were able to clean up your entire front yard and I believe even provided all bags for you that were supposed to be on site, provided by you for us ma'am. You said you were running late and did not have time to get the bags, so not only did we provide them for you we did not charge you either. You did not want to purchase any additional time and we didn't want to leave piles of leaves in your front yard so we bagged everything up after our time had expired. I am sorry that we couldn't offer you more free time but it costs our company money to employ our team and for materials, tools and fuel needed. We thank you for the opportunity to do business with you and wish you the best. Thank you AND STAY BLESSED!! Robert L. DePonceau President

Not well. The lack of communication on the job was disturbing. The owner didn't have any employees show up to help with the job, it was not a large job, but he stated nobody would come in to help even though it was a weekday. The pavers were installed and the job was "completed" however, he was supposed to return after the weather broke to put more sand down to compact it more. I reached out to him multiple times to have him come back and kept getting empty promises. I would NOT recommend this company to ANYONE.

Mrs. [Member Name Removed], I pray you are well! This job was more of a favor than anything, When I took this job for you outside of Angie's List you knew that there were a lot of things going on with myself personally. The job was completed besides a final sweep in of sand (if needed after everything settled). The project may not have went how either of us had wanted it to but we tried to keep open communication and the final product was installed correctly. I do apologize, I should have just turned the job down and taken the time to make sure my family and company was in a different position before we moved forward. I take full responsibility for any lack of communication and delay on our end. I feel like most of this is unwarranted but I understand your dismay. We would love the opportunity to re establish our name with you and your family and wish you the best. Thank you AND STAY BLESSED!! Robert L. DePonceau President

I had to call company directly and follow up to my choice of scheduling dates because there was no response through Angie's list. I feel I got a good price and they cleaned up well.

Robert was with me every step of the way. He and his team leveled, seeded, and even advised me as to sprinkler placement. I now have grass where none would grow before.

Never received a response from the company to my message send thru their system on their website.
Description of Work: Several weeks, I saw A Cut Above the Curb's offer on Angie's List to aerate and over-seed our lawn for $250 for a 7,500 sq.ft. lawn. I was about to buy this deal, when I decided to go to their website first. After reading about the company, I discovered that they only cover Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Norfolk. Since I live in South Suffolk, I sent a message to them thru their online system and asked if they could do my lawn - especially since it is only about 4,400 sq.ft. I have never received a response from the company which is very unprofessional. If I would have already purchased the deal for $250, who knows how long it would have taken me to get my money refunded.

Two and a half day job. A Cut Above the Curb is a very good company. I've used them several times with very good results at a fair price. Professional and punctual they provide a great service. 2 trees were removed, several trimmed and heavy brush removed from the back yard. I got rid of the jungle.

It took at least six+ weeks from the date I ordered (and paid) for the services to get the work completed. It was several weeks before I had any contact with the company offering the deal and that was only because I went back to the "deal offer", found the contact information and called them and left a message. The owner did call back right away, was very pleasant and apologetic, stating that Angie's List site was undergoing changes and was not notifying contractors in as timely a manner as they had in the past when "deals" were purchased, It still took a few weeks to schedule a date for the work to be done and then no one showed on the scheduled date. After another call, a date was scheduled and the work was completed. Despite the long delay, the work was nicely done and I was pleased with the result.

I purchased a package deal in March 2015. Initially the response was quick, but work was not done until June due to personal reasons within the business. In early October I noticed the shrubs and Azalea bushes were withered and starting to die. I was unable to get in contact with anyone until Apri 2016. I got in contact with the owner, explained the situation and a date was set for May 5, 2016 to come out and replace the items. I even sent an email with pictures of the flowerbeds and shrubs. Due to the rain, the appointment never happened. I tried contacting him SEVERAL TIMES! I spoke with the secretary on numerous occasions in which I was told the owner would call me back. STILL NO RESPONSE. I was finally able to get a hold of the owner in which he stated during the phone conversation, "the IT department is calling so I'll give you a call back." Needless to say I never received a call back. I WILL NOT BE USING THIS PROVIDER AGAIN!!
Description of Work: The provider removed a a large bush and planted three Indian Hawthornes, two Nandina Gulfstreams and six annuals (flowers) in a flowerbed near my front door. He also installed four Azalea bushes on the side of my home and planted two Day Lilies near my driveway. Everything died except the two Day Lilies.

In early October I noticed that the shrubs were withered and was unable to get in contact with anyone until April. By this time the Azalea bushes and other shrubs had died.

It wasn't great and wasn't bad so if I went back in there I would probably give it the average. It was just average. I remember that my wife had some specific concerns and they didn't really take her specific concerns...they did their job and what we asked them to do but it is like they weren't listening to what we were actually saying.

A Cut Above the Curb, came the same day we called and sent us an email with the quote and they were here on time Monday morning. They did a wonderful job, other that the hand prints on the siding which we just washed off. Not a big deal! Their quote was very reasonable. We will have them again to do landscaping for us. They will be our go to company! I'd like to say the two young men were very polite when we went out to see how they were doing.
Description of Work: They cut down last years growth of our shrubs, pruned several trees, and put down mulch.
