Response from East Side Lawn Care
Hi D! I'm so glad you're happy with the work. I believe you are referring to the planting of the row of arborvitae(?) or is it the sod installation? (They were two separate jobs.) Or both? Probably both! In any case, I am pleased to hear that you are happy with the results. It was good to work with you and R and we would look forward to the opportunity to do so again. Thanks so much for your kind review. Contact me any time. Rick

Response from East Side Lawn Care
No, we do not spray the entire lawn every time. That is wasteful and can contribute to pollution. We spray where necessary. However, we have a satisfaction guarantee, so I refunded this customer's full purchase price. She sounded surprised and delighted that I would refund the whole amount, but that's our policy. I thought this was resolved in the best possible way.

Provider requested a best time to call and phone number on 04/22/2014 by email. I asked him to call after 1:30 p.m. and provided him my phone number by email on 04/22/2014. He did not respect my request to call after the specified time. He called at around 8:15 a.m. on 04/24/2014. He said the last day he could schedule the 1st treatment was 04/25/2014; otherwise, I would have to wait 5 weeks. He could not accommodate coming on Monday or Tuesday of the following week.

Response from East Side Lawn Care
I must apologize.This was an unfortunate situation. It's true, I did tell this customer that we could not do this lawn application later. That is because it is a pre emergent application which means it needs to be done before the crabgrass emerges. Once it emerges, it's too late - that window has closed. Much as I would like to, it cannot be done later. It wouldn't work and would be a waste of her money. Our conversation was very cordial and I thought I explained the pre emergent timing correctly. Clearly, I did not. I did not know that this customer was unhappy. Had I known I would have tried to find a solution. I would still be happy to do that. My goal is always to provide the very best customer service possible. And, yes there was a mixup on call times. I was not able to make a call at the time she requested so I called at my very next opportunity. When I did, I asked if that was an OK time to call and she said it was. My apologies for the misunderstanding and inconvenience. Rick Halverson Owner, East Side Lawn Care

Rick originally sent an employee who did a poor job. I was very disappointed, and when Rick discovered that, he promised to re-do the work and refund my original deposit. I did not want a refund--just a good job, and Rick himself came out to do the work. I am very pleased with this company's response to my complaint. "Stuff happens" and although I was unhappy at first, the follow-up response was superior.
Description of Work: I hired this company to core aerate our small urban yard.

We talked about the bill and he apologized for a lawn mower going too close to my tree. It wasn't a big deal but the apology was appreciated. I have never negotiated with a provider like I did with Rick. He was pleasant and made me feel like my bill claim was not out of order. We both hung up feeling good and knowing that our business relationship was a good one.
Description of Work: I use East Side Lawn Care weekly. Last week I got a bill that I felt needed adjusting. Rick called me and we came to an agreement on new prices for services performed. One problem was seeding that I had done. However his worker came out before I had an estimate which I felt was wrong. Rick asked what I thought the fee for the seeding should be which no provider ever asked me. We came to an agreement which made both of us happy. I would like to nominate East Side Lawn Care for a Super Service Award. They certainly give that kind of service! I highly recommend this company for all landscaping work.

Fast, easy, quiet (NO dog barking - and he barks at everything!).
Description of Work: Service was great! lawn was mowed to a good height, edging and cleanup. They were able to change their schedule to coordinate the mowing with the painter.I had started them to help me lighten the demands while selling our home. With such a great looking lawn, there's no wonder it sold in less than 24 hours!Thanks Rick & Co!P.S...............................We'll be in the new house July. Looking forward to having you take care of our new lawn needs.

This was my first experience using a lawn service. I was not sure what to expect but this turned out to be a great experience. Rick arrived on time and was able to answer all my questions. He held true to the original quote for the service and completed all work as promised. I was very impressed with his professional manner. This is a company who definitely understands the importance of good customer service. My yard has never looked so good! I will definitely use this company again.
