I found this company last year on Angie's List. Meadow responded immediately to my call and came by to give an estimate.
Description of Work: This company mowed my lawn all last spring. What I like about the company is that it offers electrical mowing, a process that contributes significantly less in the way of greenhouse gasses. Not many mowing companies in Seattle offer this service.

At this point, I called and asked Meadow not to return, asking for an address where I could send the final payment. Instead, Meadow showed up at our door asking for payment in person. Because our home had just been robbed and all our bank accounts were being closed and reopened, we did not have ability to pay him at that moment. We again asked for an address to mail payment once our new checks arrived. He did not provide us with one. Instead, a week or so later, he started calling demanding that we leave the money under the mat (which I didn't want to do seeing as our financial information had already been stolen once) and accusing us of withholding payment. The calls got increasing threatening and unreasonable. We kept asking him for an address but he kept insisting that he had to "work this out" face to face. Finally, my husband had to intervene and tell Meadow not to threaten me any longer. He finally got an address from him and paid him. A horrible experience.
Description of Work: Meadow's estimate was slightly below what it had cost us in the past, so I hired them to clean up our yard. Because it was a smaller company, I understood that the work would need to be completed in sections instead of all at once. Meadow also wanted to be paid at the end of each section by having me leave a check under the doormat. After two days of work, and one missed appointment over the period of 20 days, I asked them not to return because the work was being completed too slowly and expensively. By this time, they had cleaned up maybe 10% of the yard yet charged us almost 50% of the estimate. Considering how long it was taking and how quickly the fees were adding up, I wanted to cut our losses and move on to another contractor.

Response from GREEN MEADOW ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND GARDENING
FIRST I WANT TO SAY THIS MAKES ME TERRIBLY SAD. I SEE MYSELF AS PERSONABLE AND ACCOMMODATING TO MY CLIENTS. I BET EVERY ONE OF MY TWENTY OR SO CLIENTS WOULD SAY SO TOO. I'M SORRY THIS TURNED OUT SO UNPLEASANT. HERE'S THE SHORT EXPLANATION. THIS CLIENT DIDN'T DISCUSS THEIR CONCERNS WITH ME, THEY CUT OFF COMMUNICATION WITH NO EXPLANATION. IT WAS SEVERAL WEEKS LATER WHEN THEY ASKED FOR MY ADDRESS. I AM EMBARRASSED TO ADMIT I DID REFUSE TO OFFER MY ADDRESS FOR A SHORT TIME BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS A PLOY TO STOP COMMUNICATION AGAIN UNTIL I JUST GAVE UP ON COMMUNICATING. AND THE ABOVE EXPLANATION IS EXACTLY WHAT I OFFERED THIS CLIENT. IF THEY HAD EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IT WAS A CONCERN OVER SENSITIVE ACCOUNT INFORMATION BEING LEFT OUTSIDE ON THEIR DOOR STEP, THEN I WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD AND IMMEDIATELY COMPLIED WITH THEIR REQUEST. THIS WAS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ME BECAUSE I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER BY NOT EXPRESSING DISTRUST. AS FOR GETTING THROUGH THE WORK AS DISCUSSED, MUCH OF THE WORK THAT WAS LEFT WAS TRIMMING THINGS, AND WOULD HAVE GONE QUICKLY. PART OF THE DIFFICULTY WAS THAT I WAS TRAINING A NEW EMPLOYEE. THIS TRAINEE ENDED UP NOT WORKING OUT. I DON'T EVER GO MUCH OVER A DISCUSSED BUDGET WITHOUT FIRST DISCUSSING IT WITH THE CLIENT. I HAVE OFTEN GIVEN EXTRA TIME AT MY OWN EXPENSE TO KEEP THE WORK FOR A CLIENT WITHIN THEIR BUDGET.

Meadow is a hard worker. He has worked for me for over five years and I love how the yard feels after he has worked on it. Neighbors are always impressed by how hard he works and several have hired him. His appearance is different but he is a gentle soul that really cares about the planet and community.
Description of Work: Lawn mowing, weeding, edging, and cutting bushes.
