SHORTY'S LANDSCAPING CO

He cuts weekly for me. I'm not really happy with him. But he does the people in the neighborhood. He is a decent guy. What I did not like about him is, I watched him one day and he cut the guy's grass across the street but when he comes over to cut the female's grass, he collects his trimming and he didn't collect mine. I went right outside and told him, "This is number one, treat my lawn like you do everybody else's." Unfortunately, in life, people have a tendency to think they can take advantage of women. Last year, I called his family. He is a Hispanic guy. I called his house and I talked to his wife and daughter. I told them he had sent me a bill and he didn't cut a couple of times. I paid him because he sent me the bill, but I told him to adjust my next bill and he never did. So when I called his wife and his wife talked to him, he said that my neighbors didn't want their grass cut. But if they don't want theirs cut and you don't cut mine, why are you billing me? Because I'm a woman? I'm not going to tolerate it. So now he has to call me before he cuts my grass and if I'm not home, he needs to leave a message. I just retired. I trimmed all of my bushes myself because I wanted them pruned from the bottom up. I did them all, but I wanted the top to be trimmed down. It has been going on now for a month and he hasn't done it yet. He says, "I'll come next week, I'll come next week." It hasn't happened yet. So I think I'm going to get somebody to take care of that for me. It costs $30 for a cut. I have a corner house and I have a pretty decent sized yard. His cutting is okay. He has improved. If it rains, he won't come, we understand that. Usually, it's on a Friday. If he can't do it on Friday, he would definitely come on a Saturday.

The experience was great. I like their attention to detail workmanship. They were friendly and great to work with. I have them do some projects like trimming the bushes; they always done well and looks really good.

Job completed as promised.

I think that Shorty is so competitively priced because there are only two workers. Although he's been doing this for years (he's done my parents' yard for several years and trims their shrubs too), he's hungry for more business. Shorty speaks very good English and always answers his cell phone. I was very happy with the price. But if you're looking for a team of guys to come in and do the work, there's no team here. Just two people. After talking over the scope of the work with Shorty, I was still not really clear on exactly when he would be out to do the work. He cuts my lawn every Thursday, but I didn't find that out until after he cut my lawn on Thursday. I did not know when he would come to haul away the yard waste or cut in the beds or put down the mulch. But he did accomplish it all within 2 weeks of our first meeting. I like Shorty. He's hard to pin down on a specific time, but he works hard and does beautiful work. He's very competitively priced - and you just can't help rooting for the guy. And most importantly, my yard has never ever looked this good.

He did a great job. The price was very reasonable. If there would be a small overrun on the price, he called to let me know and make sure it was okay. I would recommend him to anyone.
