For YEARS repeatedly requested one crew member Not to gouge (weed whack, they do not use an edger) the edges of the grass along driveways-walkways SO LOW - around the tree and patio, plus edges of yard or against the house. He, for years didn’t listen. Then season 2019 after planting new grass and over-seeding he destroyed the new grass! We had water damage in the basement from his ‘whacking’ against the house too. The man who drove the riding mower always cut the grass in the same direction too long so that it laid over flat in areas. After they both destroyed all our efforts from fall of 2018-through 2019 season I had it!! Had messaged the owner in previous years with No Calls Back. So, 2020 season Craig’s “Lawncare” (no care there) we’re FIRED!!! Good Riddance to the crew AND owner.

Emailed Craig for quote. He replied within 1 day, negotiated a reasonable rate for 3-4 hrs, agreed on date. 2 men arrived with trailer full of equipment, did exactly what I wanted, finished in 3 hrs. Very pleased. If we rent this house I will be calling him for regular lawn care.

I found Craig's Lawn Service on Angie's list and have been using them for about a year. They have been excellent: prompt, professional, good work. They provide lawn mowing and leaf removal for me and have other services I plan to use. I put out 3 bids and their bid was very reasonable.

I have used Craig's for my lawn care needs and have been very happy with their work. They offer a wide range of services. I initially hired them just for regular mowing and edging, as they were one of the few companies that seemed willing to do only that. However, I have since hired them for weeding and other landscaping jobs. Everything is always done perfectly. They are friendly and responsive to requests for service. I highly recommend them.

After using their services for multiple years for spring and fall core aeration, it seems I don't even deserve the courtesy of a call back requesting an estimate on new services. Left two messages and requested an estimate online. They never ever pick up their phone. You always need to leave a message. Good luck speaking to a human being. Makes me wonder what happens if you actually need an issue resolved. I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

Response from Craig's Lawn Care
Mr. [Member Name Removed] contacted us on May 7th via our website and our voicemail. All of our phone correspondence goes to a voicemail - we do not have a live person answering phones. We acknowledge that we were unable to get to his estimate in a timely manner because of a great demand of workload at this time of year. Upon his subsequent call expressing his frustration I returned his call promptly and offered to do the proposal immediately; however, he did not respond to our offer. We apologize for his frustration. We aim to respond to everyone in a timely manner.

I was impressed with this company and its representatives from Mark who gave me the estimate and made sure the day of service went well, to the administrative support who scheduled the service and took payment, to the crew who came the day of. I was very happy with the service.

I have a very small lawn so I don't have much grass. I talk to the owner of the company and he usually comes out and I tell him what I need and what I want done. Well, I had good communication with their owner. The men do what their supposed to. When I ask them to do something if they're working and I see something that I think they can do, I will step out of my house and tell them something. I really can't say there's anything they need to do because they do what they're supposed to do, and as I say, maybe I'm not asking for the moon, in the sense that I have a small lot and so forth, so I can't give you any good answers for that. To me it seems excellent. They were responsive. They're professional.

Everything went very well. The estimate process was quick and easy. The owner came by and looked at the area within 24 hours of me requesting a quote. We then scheduled everything over the phone. CLC was half the price of some of the vendors that I got quotes from and the crew worked hard all day to remove the old turf, till the soil, and lay down the new sod. It looks great. After a summer's worth of heat it will need to be overseeded, but that's true of all lawns after the summer. My neighbors loved it and actually hired CLC for their own houses. I'd have no problem hiring them again.
Description of Work: I needed about 500 square feet of sod installed in the "parking strips" between the sidewalk and the street in front of my house. CLC also removed the old turf and prepped the soil.

Craig's mows our lawn every week. The price is comparable and they have never not shown. If it rains they are here as soon as possible after the rain. They are diligent about cleaning up after they have finished. We are hiring them from some landscaping cleanup.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE....Craig apparently doesn't want my business and frankly I don't want it after this awful experience. His distaste for a new customer was clear on the phone today. Exasperation and anger very apparent as he said , "I rearranged my schedule for you" Ha ha haha....WHAT???.......even though he showed up a day early! SO HOW IS THAT REARRANGING HIS SCHEDULE?? So many workers in this area have that nasty tone like they are doing me a favor. Awful attitude. He was so rude on the phone. Also his crew worked at a snails pace. Awful experience 3 men for 3 hours = $130 x 3 and they were slow believe me. I wish I had video taped it. They got VERY little done in 3 hours. But Craig's rudeness was beyond the pale. He doesn't want my business then fine. Lots of other lawn companies.

As a rule they do a good job and bag clippings in set price; edge and blow clippings on walkways. My only real complaint is that the create bald spots in lawn when turning machines when the ground is wet. But I have had that problem with all services I've used to date, and they are less likely to do it than others I've had in the past. Price listed is per service/cut; which is weekly.

Good company, they just couldn't get to me by the date needed. There were weather delays, but they didn't notify me they would be delayed. Owner was responsive and apologetic. Work performed was great and the work was good value. Recommend using this company, and I plan to use them again even with my challenge.

I think they've done a good job. They do give a senior discount and we have now reached that golden age. The only thing I don't like about them is that I don't think they use mulching lawnmowers. They collect the grass and deposit it in a bag for you to do what you will with it. We have them leave it and then I compost it. None of the companies do that, that I'm aware of. The company has very nice people and they are very considerate. They watch the weather and if a storm is coming, they mow ahead of it. They don't just randomly decide to come or not. They do offer extra services and they will give you a price for them. For what they do, they do a good job and it's reasonably priced. The nice thing about Craig's is that this year, finally, he has got online bill payment. Before that, it was snail mail.

This is the second time I've used Craig's Lawn Service. This time was just as good as the first time. He did the estimate quickly after I called. I did not get a second estimate this time as he was cheaper in the past than another service and I liked his work. A couple of weeks later the crew arrived and completed the work. The work was completed quickly. It was well done and cleanly. I liked that they cleaned off the sidewalk afterwards so no stray mulch on the sidewalk and driveway.
