Kollins Lawn & Landscaping Service LLC

Great. They did beautiful work. We will see in the spring how the flowers look.

Amazing. Just amazing. I've had different companies over the years for this task, but they did the absolute best job at the best price. The back yard was spotless; every corner was completely free of leaves and looked wonderful. The trimming and the mulch were great too -- it looked like a new house! I'll be selling it this spring and I'm planning on hiring them again!

They've been very reliable.  Several times over the past few years, they have gone beyond the call of duty and done last minute emergency gutter cleaning prior to big storms.

It turned out well.  Interactions with them are good.  I bring them water and talk to them. 

We were referred to Kollins by several neighbors, and their bid was in the middle in terms of price of those we received. What impressed us most was that their bid and subsequent service is the most comprehensive and realistic (no surprises or extras), and everything was done as we wanted. As importantly, they followed up repeatedly and recently came back and supplemented some work based on their concern that it had not met their expectations. Wow! We are very impressed by the professionalism and design expertise of their management, especially Paul Kolanowski. Paul and his team know their stuff and what works in the local environment. We are very pleased.

They are fantastic. I have been using them for years. They leave the place perfect. Their price is reasonable and they are really good.

Paul Alsmeyer assessed my lawn, clearly explained what I needed and provided a detailed quote for aeration, lime and topsoil/compost applications and over seeding.
The crew led by Nedi completed the job just before sunset and left without telling us. The next morning I filled 2 quart-sized containers with pieces of glass, hard plastic, metal, concrete, pottery, Styrofoam, paper and plastic instruction labels from containers and nylon string, as well as water bottle caps, pull tabs and stones that were in the new topsoil.
I called Paul A. He apologized profusely and blamed their supplier. He came out that evening and spent over 1-1/2 hr collecting several more containers of trash. He said to call him if the yard needed to be policed, again.
The next day, Paul Kolanowski, the owner, called me to apologize. He told me to call him if the yard needed to be policed. He also said that I would not be charged for the topsoil.
As I watered the lawn, more trash came up. I called Paul K., who had Nedi come out. In the meantime, we had several rains. I collected 2 more quart-sized containers of trash. I was not here when Nedi came. Paul A. left a voicemail message that Nedi policed the yard for 1-1/2 hr.
Over the month since, I have collected another quart-sized container of trash that still includes sharp pieces of glass, hard plastic, metal and concrete. I just received the invoice. They did not charge for the topsoil/compost mix. However,
I was charged for the labor to apply the trash-filled mix. They also charged the labor at a higher rate.
I sent an email requesting adjustment to the labor rate, the labor time for the bad topsoil and for the inconvenience of having to pick up trash from our yard. Paul K. replied that they would adjust the labor rate, but make no further adjustments as, “we did all of the work specified.” He boasted that they did not charge for the time picking up the trash.
Given that over 2 gallons of trash has come up so far, Nedi and his crew should have spotted the trash when they applied the topsoil. I am disappointed that Kollins did not adjust the invoice for the labor to apply the bad topsoil and for our inconvenience in having to pick up all the trash and in limiting access to our yard until all of the sharp objects could be removed.

They are extremely reliable and attended to my phone calls. They stand by their work. They clean up after themselves, so there's never any mess. They are also very reasonably priced.
