AFFORDABLE LANDSCAPING AND SNOW REMOVAL

I signed a contract with Pablo Mendez from Affordable Landscaping. Contract was $200 flat fee for unlimited snow removal and salting of my driveway as needed (over 3 inches of snow). Pablo came the first 2-3 times it snowed and then just stopped coming. I texted and called him several times to try to restart the service, but he never answered the phone and he never returned my calls. He just walked away from the contract. Highly unprofessional. Buyer beware -- do not do business with him or his company!

He did a very poor job to begin with and then when we had the biggest blizzard in 20 years he did not show up at all!!! I called him late afternoon when the snow had stopped. He said he would be there overnight and that my husband would be able to get to work. He never showed up!! Now he won't even answer his phone at all. He's a very unreliable crook. I paid him in advance for the entire season. He began hounding me for payment in August! I felt sorry for him thinking he needed the money so I paid him 4 months before the first snow fall.

Similar to comments from other members, we simply got the impression that Affordable Landscaping took on more clients than they could handle in a prompt fashion. When they first came out to give us an estimate, they were extremely responsive and even promised to come out to lay down salt in advance of storms that were supposed to generate ice (though they NEVER actually did this all winter). While the '07-'08 winter was an extremely snowy one, we were really disappointed with the broken promises and especially with how long it took them to show up to plow our driveway and clear our sidewalks. There were even times they didn't show up at all. They also ALWAYS had some elaborate excuse every time I called to ask when they were going to show up. When they did show up, the quality was pretty good, so my recommendation to this company would be to establish multiple tiers of service with prices highest for those getting the fastest response times and lower prices for those who don't mind waiting a while. Unfortunately, they promised too many people quick and thorough service for a great price and were unable to deliver.

They have been a challenge to say the least. They don't show up sometimes, we have had to make numerous phone calls throughout the winter, and worst of all, one morning we woke up to a snow plow being driven on our sidewalk. They ripped up the grass. They are nice, but they just haven't been doing a good job at all.

Very disappointed with their service. They cannot handle the job. They don't do a thorough job when they show up. I ended up calling them every other time to remind them to clear the driveway. I would not recommend this company at all. Every time I called, they gave me nothing but excuses such as they're up all night clearing the snow for the rest of their clients, their equipment broke down, etc...

They do about satisfactory work. Maybe they did not anticipate the frequency of snow this season, but they were quite late for the removal and did not do thorough job. Considering how late they get to my house (after day and a half on one occasion ) it probably is not worth the service.

Jessica and Pablo are absolutely great. They are easy to work with, and do a beautiful job in maintaining our yards. The only issue (which I consider a very minor one) is that they don't always stick to the schedule (I was initially slated for Fridays, but they sometimes come out on other days), but that's not too problematic for me. Overall, I've enjoyed working with them for the past several months and will continue to do so!
