Oscar and his crew responded very quickly to our request for service and we were scheduled within two weeks. He is well know in our NE area and his services are in frequent demand. They arrived on time and worked steadily throughout the day to fix out aging landscape. When they were done, it looked amazing and we are very pleased. This is our second visit from Oscar and his crew and we have been please with the outcome of both visits. We plan to have him return and help us with our overgrown back yard in the future as well.
Description of Work: Renewed our overgrown and aging landscape including trimming and shaping shrubs and trees., weeding flower beds, lawn edging, and spreading new beauty bark.

The provider showed up at my residence. We walked my land while I explained what I wanted done. When I was finished, I told him I needed a quote for the job. He left my house and that was the last I heard from him or his company. I really don't know if he can do a good job. What I do know is that he cannot follow-through with customers - at least in my case.
Description of Work: Showed up to review potential work a little late (5:30 p.m. scheduled time on 3/19/2015 - the appointment is still listed in Outlook).

I called Oscar's Lawn Service to obtain an estimate for mowing our lawn on a bi-weekly basis. I spoke with Lillian who was very nice. I asked her if they serviced the Gig Harbor area. She explained that her husband does some areas of Gig Harbor but not all. She said she would have him call me back later that evening and we could discuss my location to see if he would service my area. To date, there have been no call backs and it will be a week tomorrow. I have spent 42 years in customer service with 2 major corporations and the one thing that I emphasized with my employees was the importance of returning calls to customers - and promptly. Failure to return a call tells me this company is not interested in my business. Word of mouth is a powerful marketing tool but can have a very negative impact when the customer is not satisfied or happy and then passes that along to others.

The owner of the company, Oscar, was nice but English was not his first language and I was never sure if he understood what I wanted. When I asked for his opinion, he would only say, "Yeah we can do that". His pricing was odd. He wanted $35/hr. per worker and there was 4 of them. Of course I don't know if this is standard or not. At-any-rate, I saw two of them trying to make it look as though they were working while waiting for the other two to finish pruning a tree. So it didn't seem right to pay those the same rate if they really weren't working. The finished job looked ok, but I won't be hiring them again for this year.

I am sorry [member name removed] feels this way,when we did the work she told us she was extremely happy,and asked [name removed] if he could come back and do a job later on.We are so sorry she feels this way. We try to please everyone,but sometimes it does not work that way.I wish she would have called us back when we did the work,and we would have tried to make her happy. This is the first we heard of her being unhappy and the work was done a long time ago.Thank you.

He does our lawn care monthly. I have a monthly contract with them to take care of my lawn. They do a good job. They come out weekly and they kept my yard looking really good this year. Sometimes I call them and request extra work. They did not charge me extra. They do a good job and that is why I keep using them. They are right in line as far as everybody else.
Description of Work: I use Oscar's Lawn Service for all of my lawn care.

It was a huge job, but Edgar's Lawn Service was fantastic! They showed up as scheduled to give me the pricing and we both decided it would be more fair to charge me hourly. We went over what needed to be done, what plants should go\stay etc. This job took 7 days, 5 days of one person and then a weekend of about 5-6 people to finish. They showed up everyday as scheduled, worked hard the whole time they were here (except lunch break!) and were friendly and courteous. They hauled away several very large truckloads of ivy, backberry bushes, branches etc. They guys worked fast and were fantastic! Edgar showed up a couple of times to make sure everything was going as planned and to check in with me about how I felt about the work. I was very impressed with how much he cared about making sure I was happy! I think my neighbors love me again. My yard hasn't looked this nice since we bought the house! And, I've finally found a company that I can trust to come out every couple of on months and keep everything in shape.
Description of Work: I have 1/3 of an acre that was totally overgrown and in dire need of attention. We hadn't had any major yard cleanup done in years and we had ivy, shrubs, blackberries. Everything needed to be trimmed and all of the material picked up and hauled away.

Oscar arrived the day after we called to look at the lawn and provide us with a quote. His quote was cheaper than if we had rented the aerator and edger and done the work ourselves (which also would have taken time). He came back two days later (within four days of the original call) to do the work. He was efficient, thorough, and professional. We will certainly be using his service again.

This customer was very happy when we did the work,helped out with what she needed to get the yard in good shape.The house had been empty for sometime before her.She got upset when she asked my opinion of some furniture and I told her she paid to much.All is well we did what we could and we were there for nine hours,she only paid for 8. We talked about what we could do in the future to make her house and yard beautiful. Thank you

When I first contacted Oscar's Lawn Service I said I had only one request that was not debatable. I wanted straight lines in the lawn when mowed and neat, properly edged borders. My grass is beautifully mown and the borders neat each week. I would gladly recommend Oscar's Lawn Service to anyone wanting a nice looking yard. .

Oscar and his crew showed up on a Sunday and worked hard alll day. They pruned, took down some small trees and bushes, weeded, edged, layed 10 yards new bark and 5 yards of new pea gravel, and power washed. The yard looks absolutely amazing and brand new. I would HIGHLY recommend the Oscar and his crew. While they may be on the higher cost side, it was completely worth it. I can relax in my new backyard again. Thank you Oscar!!

The crew that came did an excellent job - they worked fast and did a great job with what we requested. The clean up was thorough also. We have had several different providers helping with our yard trimming through the years and Oscar's by far is the best. I would definitely hire them again.

They arrived on time and immediately started to work. They finished the same day, as Oscar had promised. Everything we wanted them to do was done. The work exceeded our expectations. They were respectful of the property and did a very through job. They hauled all the debris away and left the yard immaculate! We were so happy, we will have Oscar continue to provide lawn service until we sell the house. Well worth the money.
Description of Work: We have a rental property in Tacoma and the tenants did not take care of yard. It was totally overgrown and covered in weeds. It needed a complete makeover. They mowed and edged lawn, trimmed the huge Laurel bushes on three sides of house, weeded the entire yard - even pulling weeds in the cement patio. Cut back and time the shrubs. They cleaned the carport area, swept up all the leaves and debris and left the yard looking amazing!

Response from Oscar's Lawn Service Etc
This yard was a rough yard,and a very big yard.The price of $37.50 was suppose to be a weekly price and after we started the lawn service Pat cut back to every other week.We normally charge a higher price when it is bi weekly because it takes more time and the lawn and edging is worse.We are sorry she feels this way,but gas and equipement and wages go up. Thank you

It was a real gusty day, Oscar said good morning and we briefly went over what was agreed on when he was first here to give an estimate. Oscar briefed his crew of three on what to do and they went right to work. They where careful of all the plants and did a fantastic job on sculpturing the firs and Oscar started with the fruit trees. I had butchered them two years ago and he wanted to do those mostly by himself, although some of the team joined him at the end. By noon the job was finished. I was most impressed and have made arrangements to have Oscar back in the spring. He did everything he promised, his crew was professional and worked with smiles on their faces. They all earned a tip.
Description of Work: Sculptured a 4 level fir ,4 12' firs POM-POM style & 4 fruit trees ( 1 apple 1 pear and 2 plum. Oscar showed up at 8:35 ( appoint set at 8:30).

I have been using Oscar since 2011 and just can't say enough about the work he and his brother perform. They are reliable, do quality work and are very very affordable. The first time I used them was 2011 for a job that others bid $2,100 and they bid $1,500. The job was flawless. I have used them at my rentals and at my house since. I've got a good sized yard and they charge $30 to mow it! The job they're performing right now is a pruning of an apple tree that hasn't been pruned in two years ($125) and to arate my yard ($125). They're great. Use them
Description of Work: Prune apple tree and arate yard Lawn mowing ($30) - use regularly. Lawn rebark and rehab (I have a 10,00 sq ft yard) - $1,500 Prune apple tree that hadn't been pruned in 2 years ($125) Arate yard ($125) Dig HUGE 10x25 spot in yard, dig down 8", remove and spread dirt, fill with gravel (was $800 to go down 4" and I paid $400 extra to dig way down to 8")

He first cleared all of the existing grass and cement. then added a small wall to create a level area for grass and a new paver walkway to the front door. I couldn't believe how fast the transformation took. the crew worked fast and very professional. the total job only took 2 days. Loved the results.
Description of Work: Oscar designed and installed a completly new front yard. He took my wants and made it a reality. I wanted low maintenace, and plants that flowered or colored at different times of the year. He gave me a maple tree that had amazing color in the fall, a red leaf maple that added color all year round and many native plants like rodies, azalias and grasses that bloomed in the spring. He also created a line of cyprus trees to create a privacy screen by neighbors driveway. He also re-graveled the parking strip and carport area.
