It went superbly! First, the quality of work performed is unparalleled and I know this because I used a couple other services before I found Poppy's and let's just say I had no doubt I was getting the best quality around once Poppy's was on the job. What made the deal even sweeter is that the price I was getting was the same or better than all the others I tried for contacted. I will be using Poppy's again for the 2015 season and for the first time I am looking forward to the cutting season. Beyond the price and quality I have to say that Leslie is a true Southern Gentleman and a hardworking, professional owner/operator. He is always prompt and courteous. He is quick to communicate if there is a change in schedule due to weather or another issue and lets me know when he will be out to work on the yard. He has my highest recommendation.
Description of Work: I hired Poppy's Lawn care about halfway through the 2014 season to do bi-weekly lawn cutting, trimming and edging.

leaf removal

Poppy's lawn service did an outstanding job removing leaves from our lawn. The service was initially scheduled for Tuesday, 4 December, but when it rained Poppy's immediately established communications to reschedule for a different date. The service was performed on Friday, 6 December and I could not have asked for a better job. Poppy's was meticulous and went over the lawn three times as the wind was blowing and leaves kept appearing from what was left on our trees and from our neighbor's trees. I would highly recommend Poppy's for Leaf removal and lawn work. Their prices are very reasonable and Poppy's has high standards for completing all work required.
Description of Work: Removed, bagged, and hauled away leaves from entire yard.

We are extremely pleased with Poppy's Lawn Care! Services include: 1. Calls the day before to confirm appointment 2. Uses both riding mower and regular mower to get all areas of the lawn close to the house and landscaping 3. Edges-trims sidewalk, driveway, fences and house - and especially does a great job on the ditches in the front of the property 4. Blows grass clippings off of sidewalk and lawn 5. Friendly, courteous and professional 6. Accomodating if we have to change an appointment date 7. All of this! for a very reasonable price. This is the first year we used Poppy's Lawn Care and I highly recommend Leslie, and look forward to keeping his service in the future.

Leslie Blake is the owner of this company. He shows up mostly on time. They do give me a warning call the night before, letting me know that he is coming so that I don't forget. He goes above and beyond by actually helping people that he possibly can. He actually fixed my riding lawn mower. He does other things too like clean up the gutters, pull out trees and bushes if one need them pulled out. They do a lot of such stuff.
Description of Work: We use Poppy's Lawn Care to mow the lawn, to do the edges, does weeding, and leaf removal. He also does landscaping at an extra cost though I am yet to try him out on that.

Great! See above
Description of Work: Leslie and crew cut our grass and cleared leaves and fallen sticks from our yard. They also edged. The job was excellent. They did a lovely job and even cleared the cut leaves and grass the way that we would (dumping in the back rather than putting it in plastic bags on the curb). Everything went well- Leslie did what he said he'd do and that's great. They are truly a family business- his wife answered the phone, and he and his "crew" was his brother and nephew! The only reason we wouldn't hire him again would be if he decided it cost too much to come to us. We are a bit far out for his usual coverage area. I wish him all the best as he works to build his business!

My husband was in the hospital, our riding lawnmower was on the fritz, and we had just had a bad, bad storm. My lawn was covered in limbs, leaves and debris, and I couldn't do the work myself. Leslie was able to come by the day I called, assessed the job, and called me back with a very reasonable price. He performed the clean-up the next day, cutting the grass and doing the weed-eating and trim work as well. I continued to have him cut and edge the lawn while my husband (and our lawnmower) was out of commission. Leslie always called to remind me of our appointment, and he was always prompt. I was very pleased with his service and felt he was extremely reasonable in his pricing. I would be glad to recommend Poppy's Lawn Care to my neighbors and friends.

Poppy's Lawncare is an excellent investment. A well kept yard is a positive reflection for the owner and the home.
Description of Work: I met Mr. Blake and Mrs Blake in the summer of 2010. I was struggling with my lawncare. Mr. Blake came to my home and asked me if I needed lawn services. I asked him about his prices and he told me $30.00. My yard is not hugh, yet it is a decent size. I was hesitant, then told him yes. I was amazed with his attention to details and how fast he expedited this task. We made arrangements for him to come back in two weeks. My grass grows fast and I decided he should come weekly. This worked better. I am still a customer in 2011. It feels good to have a well maintained yard. I have not had a "Cut your grass!" notice from the city since Poppy's Lawncare. I referred my daughter to the company last year and she is thoroughly satisfied. Poppys staff is always professional, on time and have excellent prices. I purchased my home in 2000 and have experienced many lawn care companies. Poppys Lawncare is a Godsend. I recommend this company to any and everyone. Mr. and Mrs Blake, Thank you and Goodspeed with your company ( and my yard thank you also.) My Do is to tell you to call Poppys Lawn care for great services. My Don't is do not wait!

Leslie will now continue to keep up the property lawns until the new tenants move in. I spoke to him about weeding the flower beds around the property before the date of move in. Leslie set the dates so that all will be presentable on the day of the arrival of our new tenants. I know that they will be pleased with his work. I will recommend his service to them. .
Description of Work: Our property is a rental in Portsmouth. We moved up near Richmond a year ago. I had employed Leslie to do my lawns while we lived there right up until the new tenants moved in and took over the responsibility of the property. The tenants have moved for deployment to Louisiana. I called Leslie and asked him to pick up the mowing and care of the property again until new tenants could be found. I pointed out to him what was needed to bring the property up to specs for rental again with the lawns, the shrubbery, and debris left by the storms. He and his wife went right to it and once again impressed me by their detail and dedication to my directions. New tenants are now ready to move back into the house in August. I asked Leslie to maintain the property on a two week basis until they move in and take over the responsibility of the property. I have been impressed by Leslies' work and punctuality especially since I am not there in Portsmouth. I trust he will do the work without my supervision since by now he knows exactly what needs to be done and treats the property like his own..

He estimated the job, arrived on schedule with 2 others and knocked out the work in one day. He bagged all the debris (about 25 bags), tilled the area, and racked/smoothed out the surface. Very nice job - will use again!
Description of Work: I needed to have an approx 5000 sq foot section of my rear yard prep'd for sod. The area never had grass, only weeds and was hard packed with some rocks/bricks. I killed the weeds and hired Leslie to prep the area for the SOD install.

They are excellent and we are extremely satisfied. It's only $35 a week for a cut, edge and blowing. It was $125 for the first time because our yard needed a good clean up. They used rakes and for three hours cleaned every nook and cranny. The yard had never been cleaned better by anyone we ever used in the past. They also cut out three oak trees and small trees that were growing between our fence and our neighbors fence. They also do extra things, they noticed our fence was coming apart with some nails and he repaired that, he noticed a screw was coming out of our gate latch and he fixed that today too. They just go above and beyond what they are required to do and they are very reasonable with their prices. They are the absolute best in comparison to the other businesses I've used in the past. Their hard work, commitment to quality service and punctuality stand out. If they can't be here for some reason they call and let you know, and they call and make sure you are ready for them to be back out there. They do an excellent job in everything they do with exceptional prices. I would highly, highly recommend them over any other lawn care company - even the big names. This guy is just starting out and he far surpasses his competition.

After arriving back in the U.S. after a 4 year overseas tour, our move into a new house was finishing up, and the lawn continued to grow up. We do not own a mower yet, so we looked on angieslist.com and chose Poppy's due to the extremely competitive price and quality workmanship. We are extremely happy that we chose Poppy's, as the yard looks exquisite. This work must have been grueling due to the amount of growth time between mowings, but Leslie (the owner of Poppy's) didn't leave until the yard looked perfect. Thank you very much for your dedication to your profession and relieving our jungle habitat concerns! Use Poppy's!

Each time Leslie comes he leaves with the lawns looking well groomed, detailed and clean. His willingness to do the extra work for me by pulling all the weeds from the front flower beds was really appreciated. He is fast, efficient, punctual, professional, and adapts his work and schedule to the needs of the customer.
Description of Work: This is the third time that Leslie has come to cut, edge, and clean my lawn (1/4) acre. On his first visit he also pulled the weeds from my flower bed in front of the house. He works for himself and has invested in his own business by purchasing the equipment to accomplish the job well. He comes every two weeks on time. He is trying to make a go of his new business and seems to be well on his way to good customer service. I recommend him. His card also reads mowing, weed eating, edging, yard clean up, tilling services and more. He is licensed and insured and is ready to make free estimates on the work to be done.
