They did a great job and certainly met my expectations. They completed everything I planned them to do. No complaints at all! It was a great experience.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for 6 hours of outdoor yard work. They came back out to clean up an additional portion of my property; removing shrubs, vines, monkey grass, etc.

Great! I purchased a deal for 6 man hours for $168, because of the size of the yard and wet leaves we knew we were going to go over. Mike gave me a very competitive hourly rate for the overage. It took three guys about 4 hours to complete. They did more the mulched areas and some of the woods that hadn't been done in 15 years. I'm going to try some more services with them in the spring.
Description of Work: Raked and hauled leaves in my entire 1 1/3 acre yard.

They delivered and installed mulch. They did not meet with me beforehand as requested to see how much mulch was necessary. Instead, they drove by and guesstimated based on looking at the front yard only. I notified them of my concern that not enough mulch was being delivered, considering the backyard. They advised I might go over the time allotted on the coupon by 1-2 hours if they needed to do the backyard, and they would need 1-2 further cubic yards of mulch. I agreed to these terms. Still they only delivered the original amount of mulch and did not do the backyard at all. There was no follow-up from Mike Pugh (my contact). I guess they didn't need the additional business? | |I also had some questions about the type of mulch that were ignored. Maybe they were just too busy from the coupon? It's nothing personal, but I will not use them again.

I chose them because I had used their services previously and was impressed when the owner himself came out to inspect the property with me. The owner didn't have to come out this time since he was already familiar with the property. The two workers were both pleasant and professional, worked hard for the entire three hours, and did a quality job.
Description of Work: They sent two men to clear brush from the yard and tidy it up.

First visit, they did trimming and yard "clean up." Second visit was just leaf blowing. My only recommendation for someone using their service, is to make any desires explicitly clear to a supervisor who understands English. They did more than I asked, but used some shortcuts I wish I had asked them NOT to do.

Response from Commonwealth Landcare Inc
Each of our crews has an employee who is able to speak and understand English. I also received this message from her. (This was sent to us via Angie's List Message center on 11/25/13 the same day the work was complete) Thanks, Mike Pugh "the yard looks great....my husband was very pleased (and thankful!)" -[member name removed]

The owner is courteous and punctual; quick response. The crew that came to do our leaves, however, was careless and sloppy, destroying, along with the leaves, most of our new plantings. I'm disappointed because I chose this company precisely because of stellar reviews. Honestly, our neighborhood team that's always been doing our leaves, is better and cheaper; we'll stay with them.

Response from Commonwealth Landcare Inc
Our crew worked very hard removing a large amount of leaves from this clients backyard. Enough to fill up the curb-line 4 feet tall in front of there home. I went and met with her on a Saturday morning to survey there backyard. I did not see any damage to the new plantings. Only minor damage was to the lawn, but it was hard to tell if that was from us or the 4 to 6 inches of leaves that where left for extended period of time on top of the turf. I offered to come back and reseed the discussed area in the spring time. As many homeowners and Angie's List members know if you are interested in establishing plantings and turf it is good to pick up the leaves as they fall and not leave them piled up as they chose to do so. The weight and shade of the leaves damages plants and turf. Also, many of the perennials needed to be cut back for the winter time. Thanks for the review, Mike Pugh

It worked out good. It was cheap and they were thorough and they used their own stuff. I think that they were generous with their time. There were two guys and I think that they were here for more than 3 hours. They got the job done. They came out around the 5 th of December. I would use them again.
Description of Work: I purchased a big deal from Commonwealth Landcare Incorporated for six hours of outdoor yard work.

They had nice equipment, which made their work efficient and professional. After they were done, they even took time to clean up extra seed and soil plugs that had landed on the driveway, sidewalks, etc. The best part, however, was the positive impact it made on our yard. I couldn't believe how well the seed germinated, making our lawn incredibly full and thick. I found this service because they offered an Angie's List deal, but I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Outstanding aeration and overseed service provided! They actually arrived early for the appointment and took time to get to know our yard and answer some questions I had about irrigation and weed control.

Commonwealth Landcare Inc. uses SOUTHERN LAWN MAXX when completing aeration & seeding at a rate of 5 to 6 lbs per 1000 square feet. Southern Lawn Maxx is powered by a patented Performance Seed Treatment process. The Oregon certified, Virginia/Maryland approved varieties are treated with proprietary blends of nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, fulvic and humic acids, kelp, phosphites, and micro nutrients. Southern Lawn Maxx has been tested and provides the applicator the opportunity to provide less water and fertilizer, yet the grass will provide more color and longer roots. In three independent trials, Southern Lawn Maxx outperformed traditional straight tall fescue by 40% quicker germination while using 30% less nitrogen and phosphorous. It is one of the most expensive and highest quality seeds on the market. Thanks, Mike Pugh

Commonwealth Landscape cleaned up leaves and removed leaves from my home. I was pleased with the work that they did. There was a special that I got for the leaf removal and the cost was $99. They also removed the leaves from my home and the cost was $90. I thought the rate was very good.

A bit expensive, but worth it in my opinion. I would still call to get a quote! I have been living here for probably close to 8 years now and I decided to hire a company to remove all the leaves on my property this year just to see how it would turn out. I called CW, Mike was fantastic and attentive. I can probably honestly say that I have never seen my yard this clean before, I will definitely call them again for any future cleanings.

This was a Big Deal purchase. Commonwealth Landcare contacted us as soon as we made the purchase and set a date to come. We wanted to use the Big Deal Coupon for leaf removal and asked to have them come about a month later, which they did. It was easy to contact them through Angie's List messaging.

We went above and beyond to accommodate them. Not only did we spend more than the allotted time they purchased with the 'Big Deal', we also did not charge to hull away a whole trailer of debris. I do not know what else you could expect.

We purchased a 3 hour leaf blowing service with an Angie's List coupon. Scheduling was easy and the crew arrived right on time. We have a very large yard with lots and lots and lots of trees so we were pretty sure that 3 hours (2 men x 1.5 hours) wasn't going to get it finished and we were right. But they definitely finished the most visible areas of the yard, including cleaning out the flower beds of debris and leaves. It looks great and we would use them again.

The three man crew arrived punctually at 8:00 am. They blew all of the leaves from the front, side and rear yard into pile in the lower corner of back yard as directed. All work was completed within two hours and the crew departed at 10:00 am. Excellent service handled friendly and professionally. I would use this service again and recommend it.

They did a very thorough job and I was pleased with the quality of the service. The best recommendation I can offer is that YES I will call them again for future jobs (not just leaf removal). THANKS!
Description of Work: Cleared all my leaves and vacuumed them. I paid for the additional vacuuming because our development doesn't allow leaves to be raked to the curb for pick up and bagging only allows me 5 bags a week for pick up. It would take a full year to clear 100s of bags accumulated.
