After the provider left my property I observed the condition of my front lawn and it was atrocious. Through no fault of their own, they had to delay cutting my front lawn by one day due to a rainfall the previous day, August 13, 2013. My agreement with Rakestraw is for a once a week cut every Tuesday, weather permitting. Granted, the grass was rather tall, however landscape professionals should know how to adjust the height of a mower to deal with lenghty grass. Grass clippings were all over the so-call grass they supposedly cut. Clogs of grass were left in some areas of the lawn. They missed huge sections of the grass during the mowing process. Overall, my front lawn had all the attributes of a hay field after they left. To say I am extremely dissatisfied with their service is akin to kindness. Each time they come to cut my lawn, it's as though they are being timed and that is likewise unacceptable. I do not expect a gold plated mowing process, but I do want and expect the lawn to appear as though it was attended to by professionals, not by fifth graders.
Description of Work: Under a contract, provider came to cut only my front lawn.
