originally hired Joe for carpentry items. Joe was prompt, professional and easy to work with. I rated this job a B plus. I also employed his painter to paint the trim and closets of downstairs. The painter he employees is absolutely worth the money. Except for a minor few spots, I was pleased with the results and rated this job a B plus as well. Joe was paid in full, his asking price at the end of the job.
I was very disappointed in the landscaping job. I hired him over 2 others even though he cost more. He made my lawn wait almost one month after I hired him. He kept putting my job off "next week" made my yard wait 3 weeks, my the time he arrived to do the flower beds in front lawn (edging, weeding, and spreading mulch) the weeds were 8 inches long, He did not weed any of the flower beds. He edged some of them and then dumped mulch over the weeds. The next day I stopped at my house and I was so disappointed. I called Joe, and when we were face to face he argued with me. Until this, I would have given at least $40,000.00 worth of work. I would not hire him at this point as I will not pay someone their asking price to do what they feel like doing and ignore what I paid him to do. I was very disappointed in his lack of professionalism when I complained of the work. I clearly said I wanted my lawn raked, not blown. He denied "blowing" the leaves even though numerous flower bunches were flat to the ground. Joe looked me in the eye and denied blowing the leaves and insisted he raked (no rake marks were seen on the dirt). I thought I had found the one that I could trust and work with. Instead he treated me rudely and acted as if he were my boss instead of me being his boss. It is because of this kind of treatment I joined Angies list.

He responded "You won't have any problems." I have left over 20 messages, requesting he look at the job and advise me how to proceed because the lawn is so spotty. He has never responded to my request. Now research shows there is not a mix of grasses. I think he used old seed and not the proper mix. The entire lawn has to have excess material which was sprayed on removed. The lawn has to be aerated and reseeded. All of this at great expense to me. The contractor had nothing to do with his work after he left the site. He won't stand by his work. If you want a contractor with a poor work ethic contact him!

Shells brought in careless with wheel barrel damaging new wooden steps to dock. Plantings were left to unsupervised staff and done sloppily. Almost all of the plants died. 2. Perennials were removed from beautiful mature garden and replaced with colorful annuals that looked like crap by comparison to the original bed. The removed and transplanted perennials all died. V. sad loss. 3. Refused to transplant mature plants to where we wanted and instead pursued her own vision. Most died. 4. Guaranteed new lawn seeding all around the house - big yard - which was promised to look like a golf course. Totally disaster. Holes, clumps, etc. Overall service was abysmal. She proposed and promised a multi-year development plan and a guarantee of quality. She never came back. Did not respond to phone calls or emails. And worst of all her financial estimates were always lower than the final job bill, which could never clearly be explained. She was condescending about her gardening expertise.
I was very disappointed with my previous lawn care company and was looking to replace them. As most of lawns in my neighborhood are done by Summer Green Landscape and they look pretty good one day in April I spoke to Eucimar, the owner. He was very reasonable and honest and I hired him right...

BRILLIANTLY! I took it over to Adam's Locustfield Workshop at 448 Locustfield Road, East Falmouth, MA, 02536 where he asked me a series of questions about the symptoms. His diagnosis: not getting a spark and had either a bad magneto or a bad spark plug. He tried a new plug right there on the...

There was only moss. The provider removed moss, built up the soil, planted seed and monitored the growing grass for watering through last summer (the date box only allowed one date). The lawn was great. The price is approximate since he did some other jobs as well. This business is...

Bartlett installed an Irrigation system. Very Professional installation. Minimal disturbance to the lawn. Came back and adjusted the settings. There was an unmarked underground cable TV that was hit. This was not their fault but they took care of it.

"I initially left a message for another company, but Bresnahan called back. They were prompt and after repairing the initial malfunctioning back flow preventers worked on other zone repairs. Early on I was quoted $95./hr for work + parts. I subsequently discussed wanting to see where the bill was and again went over the hrly rate, which was $95. per worker! I asked for an estimate on the remaining work but the owner said he couldn't do that and that his rates were in line with the industry. Take home message is get a full estimate before starting, since our project ballooned to $6,000. and is not done."

Lawns questions, answered by experts
Lawns can be high maintenance, and therefore require regular spending if you’re not up for doing certain lawn care tasks yourself. But you can save time and money on lawn maintenance by mulching, composting, and planting species native to your area, so they keep alive with less ongoing TLC from you.
No. Both processes are important for a healthy yard and work toward a similar goal, although dethatching serves a slightly different purpose. Making sure the thatch doesn’t grow too thick prevents other lawn problems, such as attracting pests if the plant decay layer gets too big. Aeration puts less strain on your lawn than dethatching, but both are of equal importance.
Bahia grass is not difficult to grow, but you might need patience for this slow-growing grass. Whereas some grass species, like Bermuda grass, can take 1 to 2 weeks to germinate, Bahia grass can take two or three times as long, making it seem like it won’t grow. But again, once your Bahia grass is established, it requires little maintenance. Its deep root system makes it a very durable grass that can bounce back after freezes and droughts.
Aeration is most effective when the soil is slightly moist but not excessively dry or waterlogged. If your lawn's soil is extremely dry, consider watering it a day or two before aeration to facilitate the process. Conversely, avoid aerating when the soil is saturated or excessively wet, as it can lead to poor aeration results and potential damage to your lawn. Finding the right moisture balance is crucial for successful lawn aeration.
Whether you’re putting down fresh seed or reseeding, there are a few things to keep in mind when seeding your lawn. Be sure to choose the correct seed for your climate, seed at the right time of year, and water two to three times a day for the first week. Generally, Dudley recommends seeding in spring and fall as it is usually cooler and rainier.
