They did exactly as I asked. The yard and bushes look as good as they have in quite some time.

Paid for lawn care services, response was slow and the lawn care treatments have been behind schedule. They do not notify clients about the delay, or the time frame. The service has been good, but I am not happy with the customer service or response time. Had an estimate for a retaining wall, then estimate was high and based on the timeliness of the lawn care services and the customer service I will not use this company for further work.

I had Spring Green for a while. Although they're cheaper than True Green, they weren't helping enough with weeds and each time there was a different person doing my lawn so there was no consistency or accountability. They spent a few seconds on my back lawn to do spot-weeding but would charge me for a weed and feed(!) My neighbors use True Green, but they are similar to Spring Green; huge outfit with lots of ads and will treat your lawn like they do everyone else's. Also, when I talked to True Green, they did a hard sales pitch and never came out to see my lawn. I finally called Barr and I've never been happier. Jeff met with me and after walking around my property, talked with me in depth about what was going on and what they could do for me. And later, the person they sent out is the same each time and he is also extremely knowledgable. after doing a "real" fertilizing with a spreader and spot-weeding, he suggested I mow higher (and not so close to the ground) and that I do one side of my front lawn *last* since I had dollar spot there 1 1/2 years ago... and be sure to wash the wheels of my mower so I didn't spread it. Of course, no other lawn service had told me that because these big franchises just don't care. Places like Spring Green and True Green need to get in and out and do a lot of lawns to make money and they never customize anything to your specific property. In my case, that means if I had brown spots, I still had brown spots a year later. It's frustrating because unless you're a horticulturist, you don't know why stuff is happening with your lawn--but Barr Landscaping does and they'll customize a treatment plan to your lawn. Price wise, Barr is right in there with Spring Green's price for regular treatments and their price for aeration is close to True Green's. If you have a choice, get it done right. Go for Barr's. Totally wort it.

Was very prompt. Also did the job when it was convenient for us. Quality of work was excellent. Also gave us directions to make the difference in getting the lawn ready for next spring.

My condominium association contacted Barr Landscaping to get a quote on lawn services for next year as part of our budgeting process. Their quote was comprehensive and covered all the work listed in our request for proposal. The prices were comparable to other bids we received this year. However, their quote did not reach us in time to allow us to consider using them for the upcoming season.

"We greatly apoligize that we did not get your bid returned to you in the proper time. We apprecaite you asking us to submit a bid, and hope that we can submit a bid in the future."

Upon recommendation from a neighbor, we used this company to keep up our yard after we moved out of the area and our house was still on the market in the spring and summer of 2012. They also delivered a large quantity of much for us when we were sprucing up areas of our yard before we moved in the fall of 2011.

The price is reasonable. They do a good job and they're neat and they clean up. They were honest. They were on time and they do what was advertised.
