The team arrived on time. Craig went over the work to be performed with me and the job foreman to make sure we were on the same page. The team cleaned up the yard as they went along and did a final sweep at the end. They were very professional throughout. We will be using Craig's again.
Description of Work: The team performed trimming, weeding, and other landscaping maintenance in four areas surrounding the house. This work involved several hundred square feet and multiple levels of landscaping.

Craigs Lawn Service was great. I had emailed him prior to purchasing the deal to make sure it would be covered in the price. He came out and assessed the work. The work was completed within a day or two of me purchasing the deal. Great work and I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Split and removed several bushes from flower beds around house.

I called Craig on Friday and left a voicemail requesting an estimate for mowing my lawn. He called me back that evening and said he'd be at my house on Saturday and would leave an estimate in my door if I wasn't home. He also asked for my email address, which I provided, and said he'd send me an official proposal. When he didn't show up on Saturday, I called him on Sunday. He was a bit rude and had a bunch of excuses as to why he didn't come to my house on Saturday. I told him he should have at least called me on Saturday and explained the situation. I would have understood that more than just being blown off. Then he asked for my address again. I told him I already provided my address when I talked to him on Friday, but I still provided it for him again. He did come to my house sometime on Sunday and left his business card that DID NOT have a dollar amount estimate as expected. The note also said to email him or call him and provide my email address so he could email the proposal. Since I already provided my email address when I talked to him on Friday, I don't know why I have to provide it again. I know he wrote it down originally because he read it back to me. He obviously forgot all about even talking to me on Friday because he didn't have my home address or my email address 2 days later and I'm sure if I hadn't called him on Sunday, I never would have heard from him. He seems very disorganized, forgetful, unreliable, and unprofessional. I still don't know how much he would have charged me to mow my lawn, but I moved on and chose another business that did come to house on the day they said they would, provided a written cost for the service, and could mow my lawn immediately. I couldn't take the chance that even if I did give Craig my business that he would remember to mow my lawn every week. I need a reliable business.

Response from Craig's Lawn Care
I appreciate (removed member name) calling us. I acknowledge conversing with her and telling her I would be by on Saturday and leave something at her door; however, we did not set up a specific time. At this time of the year we get quite an abundance of estimates and sometimes cannot complete them all in a day like we would like. I received her call on Sunday at 12:25 pm after getting out of church and assured her I would be by that afternoon. We don't usually work on Sunday but at this time of the year we quite often find it necessary to do estimates 7 days a week as I did yesterday. I did go to the house on Sunday and tried to reach her at 2:42 pm to let her know I was on the way but she did not answer. I left my card and asked her to email me or call so I could interact and I could provide some helpful information and discuss other things that she might need or want prior to the first mowing of the season. After surveying her yard, I felt as though (removed member name) might have several options regarding her yard. We have different prices for weekly and bi-weekly mowing. But in her case, the back also appears to grow much slower than the front and I felt that it didn't need to be mowed as often as the front. Additionally, she had quite a few leaves thrown throughout her property that needed to be cleaned up and she had many dandelions in her back yard. I thought her lawn would benefit with a fertilization and weed control program. We never did hear back from her until we received this notice via Angie's List.

They have been excellent. Their prices are very good - they even threw in an extra service after 5 visits. They come on time and always do a great job. They're very accomodating. This was the first time we've used their leaf service, which was just as good as their lawn service.
Description of Work: This is our lawn care company, and we've been using them for about a year. Most recently, they did some final leaf work, which was a follow up to some previous leaf work they did.

The CLC workmen are always professional, quick, and thorough. Almost without fail, it's the same team of men who are always willing to accommodate my golden retrievers if they quickly need to go out, and always manage the fence gates. CLC is responsive to special requests, the pricing is very reasonable and the service, always reliable. I highly recommend this service provider.
Description of Work: CLC has for the last 15 years or more provided general lawn care services, including mowing, edging, trimming, leaf removal, bush and tree trimming, etc. More importantly, CLC has without fail been responsive to last-minute special requests. I called yesterday for a special appt. for leaf removal since they've fallen early, and the CLC team was here this morning - the job completed within 2 hours.

We love it. It is a wonderful company, the price is reasonable, and doesn't go up a certain amount every year. The service is excellent, and I would give them 5 stars for everything. We have them do a yard clean. We had all these weeds, and they did a clean up. There was extrenious vegetation around the house. We get a special, and it was pretty reasonable. They came when they said they would, and they charge a little less than what they said it would. They did how many hours they said it would do. I had told them how much I wanted to spend and they kept it at that. We have been using them for years now ,and this is the first time we used their landscaping service, it was very good.

It took longer to get the work scheduled than I wanted, communication was awful, the work itself was fair, and fairly priced. In the end, I got what I paid for, but it was a frustrating transaction. The provider insisted on a pre-work visit to discuss the work to be performed, rescheduled once, and showed up late on the day it happened. It took over two weeks before the work was actually done, and after taking up my time to go over what needed to be done in great detail, called/texted me multiple times interrupting me while I was in class with questions about things that were specifically covered in that discussion. The work was a combination of a "big deal," and some additional work/materials beyond that. After the visit, I didn't hear from the provider for over two months; I actually left two voicemail messages trying to get the invoice for payment with no response (which was a first for me). I finally received the invoice via e-mail around 10 weeks after the service was performed.
Description of Work: Clean up yard debris, remove excess ivy, provide/spread mulch, trimming/edging.

The service went fine. They did exactly what the deal stated. The staff was very nice and did a good job. They did a nice job with the cleanup afterwards. I did ask about having the lawn mowed, but they never got back with me. They were also on time and I had no issues with scheduling.

I think it was out of his service area so it kept getting put off. Except for cutting the vines away from the azaleas in the back yard and picking up sticks in the yard (one larger branch), that's all he did. Not worth the money at all. Maybe he was too busy because it was a special deal. Still not worth the money at all
Description of Work: He picked up sticks and branches with a rake, took away one 5 ft branch and cut away a vine from an azalea. I could have mowed most of the twigs. The yard didn't look much different when he was done

Craig's did a great job clearing out a winter's worth of leaves, brush, and dead weeds in our otherwise unmanageable yard. The work was performed on time, efficiently, and with good clean up. Seems like a professional operation. Trustworthy folks.

The job was outstanding. We ended up having a lot more work done. They have an attention to detail. They did some things that we never even thought of but it made the place look a lot better. They were right there when they said they're going to be there. The appearance of the yard when they were through stood out to me. I would use them in a heartbeat.

After finally getting in touch with Craig to find out when the crew would start, the team showed up on the day Craig said and did a fabulous job. I was very glad to see them arrive since my lawn mower didn't restart to finish mowing the yard and the grass was high. Congratulate your crew for a job well done.

Over the years, I have used Craig's Lawn Care for a variety of services: leaf raking, yard cleanup, mulching and weeding and mowing. Now that my son can mow, we no longer use them regularly for mowing, however, if I call them intermittently to mow, they always come in a timely manner, even though we are not a regular mowing customer. We usually have them come out a few times a year to do yard cleanup and mulching and they are always prompt and professional. Their service fees are reasonable. A few years ago we have a tree fall into the house and they did a great job of cleaning it up for us. I recommend them to anyone who asks.

After contacting each other, the owner, Craig, first came by to introduce himself and look over the job. He made an assessment within the Big Deal offer and said that he would be able to send a crew back in two weeks. On that day, Oscar (crew chief) and 2 other workers showed (Craig called ahead of time to say they would arrive soon). Oscar asked first if he could back their big truck into the driveway as part of the Big Deal was that they would remove all debris. I showed him my wooded back yard and he pointed out a few standing dead trees that he was able to get down and remove as well. The workers did a good job collecting branches, cutting larger branches into sections they could carry out and bringing down a few smaller dead trees and removing them as well. They threw all the tree debris in their truck, cleaned up the driveway. They were able to get all the work that I wanted done, to my satisfaction, in the time period of the Big Deal that I had purchased. I would call on Craig again and would recommend him.
Description of Work: Purchased Big Deal of the Day - cleaned up sticks, fallen dead branches and cut and removed small, dead trees.
