Mike is a really nice guy. I would not recommend his services at all, however. He met my wife and I at our home in mid-July for a project we wanted to have done. He said it would get done the week of August 4th by his crew while he was on a trip to Canada. That week goes by and no one shows up. We call the following week and talk with Mike's wife. She said she would have Mike call us back. Four days go by, still no call, so we call again, we get a hold of Mike. He says he's been busy, which we understand, but has to push us back to mid-September because his "bread and butter" client needs a project done that will take two weeks. We're a smaller size job so, fine, we get it, money first to him. Mid-September rolls around, no one shows, no one calls. We call him on the 15th, we call him on the 16th, nothing. So, I drive out to his barn and find him. He's actually there. Says he feels bad, we can call other landscapers if we want. I'm a little upset but I get it, he's busy and pushing us back. I said to him he's the guy we want to work with and we'll now wait until early October to get the job done. I called him last week Friday, Saturday, and now today and finally got a hold of him. He now tells us he can't do the project at all. We have deadlines with our HOA and they have been very lenient with us on this due to Mike being dodgy but they've had enough and so have we. We're now in a bad spot because we can't just snap our fingers and find a landscaper who's available now. Mike left us out to dry and wasted three months of our time. He made promises he could not fulfill and kept pushing our job back for some reason he would not reveal to us. He was difficult to get a hold of and if I had to do this all over again, I wish I had read reviews on him and just stayed away. His price may be nice but it is NOT worth the headache and the heartache. Find someone more reliable who actually follows through with what they say.
