JOSE'S LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE

Fine.

Everything went well. From the estimate to completion it was all handled professionally. The task that we had for them was difficult. The entire backyard was overrun with blackberries. They understood the scope of the project and clearly understood our expectations. They cut them down and cleared the backyard with dramatic results and faster than expected. I wish I could post a before and after photo, so you could see the difference. I recommend them to anyone who needed some serious yard cleanup!

First of all, BEWARE BEWARE, YOUR YARD MAY BE DEVASTATED WHEN YOU COME HOME! I'm still really mad at these guys, will probably take some sort of action. --The mow edge blow was pretty standard. For just that it's in and out in 20 minutes - like a blink of an eye. --I would add that the "blow" portion was without regard for flowers or anything that might fall over and die due to the strong wind. Many flowers killed due to broken stems. -- Their idea of "weeding" is taking a weed eater to 'em - that means ANYWHERE they can get that weed eater, they will - flower beds, raised beds, beds with tree saplings, USING HANDS WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT A SERVICE PROVIDED. So many plants killed. --PLANTS KILLED: Very old lavender bushes taking up a 10x10 corner of the yard "trimmed" down to old stems...hello!? Do any of you realize that old woody branches doesn't produce new growth?!? This is a huge loss. Jose didn't even offer to do anything to make up for this gross negligence. --MORE PLANTS KILLED: We grow native plants and told Jose many times what NOT to touch. Nonetheless, the weed wacker killed a wild ginger plant, numerous tree saplings and nearly decimated a few oregon grape bushes. Oregon grape recovered, but the ginger and trees were GONE. --THEY moved the sprinkler onto the deck, the timer went on later AND SPRINKLED WATER FOR 30 MINUTES INTO A ROOM WITH AN OPEN WINDOW STORING OLD COMICS. Yeah. Really unbelievable. That was it - we fired them and didn't pay the last bill. I'm still really mad about all of this.

We've been working with him for three or four months. He is very cooperative, and they do a good job. Based on the experience we've had we would recommend him to others. He gave us a calendar with the times that he will come out. He did a big cleanup job in may, and since then has been coming out twice a month.

Unsatisfactory results. Lawn looked unacceptably uneven. Some strips of lawn were too long. Those were alternated with strips that were too short. Trimming and edging were not as consistent and neat as I expected. They left large pieces of bark and clumps of grass on the lawn and blew lawn clippings into the flower beds. Did not always come on the scheduled days. Needed reminders to come, even though they set up the schedule themselves.
