We do this on a commercial as well as residential platform.

When I suggested by email that they didn't seem to want my business because the email was so vague they spoke to me like a child and said that I was ridiculous wanting an estimate prior to the leaves falling(!) I felt like they were yelling at me like you would a toddler. They have since called me many names by email. They actually called me a "dumb ****". The worst customer service I have ever experienced!
Response from Grounds and Gardens LLC
"If your reading comprehension and listening skills are half as good as your lets bash the contractor skills you would realize how childish and petty you are being. No one spoke to you like a child because after our initial phone call no one spoke to you.first lie. It was all e-mails after that. nobody ever called you ridiculous, lie number two. Nobody in their right mind would yell at a toddler. Well, maybe you would.You never got any service from us just an estimate.. How many guys I send out is at my discretion, not yours. It's my business therefore I will run it how my 35 yrs of expereience tells me to not some uneducated homeowners ignorant opinion Not sure why you have it in your craw about blowing the leaves into the stream done everyday this time of year all over the world.. And now, here's the clincher, wait for it..... If you reread the estimate, it clearly says a firm estimate cannot be given until 24 to 48 hrs before the work is done because of all the variables. So instead of asking me the variables you went right to bashing on Facebook. So, just for uneducated little brain the variables are how windy its supposed to be that day, how wet and thick the leaves are. The other variables such as what equipment i can get in your yard and how far i might have to drag tarps of leaves might have to be dragged were observed upon my estimate visit. So, now that I have successfully thrown everything you typed back in your face balls in your court............... P. S. I have 31 clients within a one mile radius of you, over twenty of them forwarded me your lying, whining, i need attention posts you and your husband posted. Haven't laughed that hard in years. Thanks P.P.S. please go buy a rake"

Our yard was beautiful, in fact the best it has looked in years, due to all the rain. Our mower broke last week, and we were interviewing this company about other potential work, taking out some shrubs and planting trees. In the meantime, we asked if they could mow the grass. When I arrived home and saw the hack job they had done on our yard, I was sick to my stomach. I was told they always mowed at 3 1/2 inches. Our grass was hacked and gouged in places down to the dirt, tracks left everywhere by the mower. I am beyond upset by this and just hope that what is now looking like scorched earth will return eventually to the beautiful yard we had worked so **** **. I sent two emails to the provider about this and never heard back. I doubt that I will. In addition, the estimator who came out was very condescending, did not want to be pinned down to any specific price and had a very unpleasant attitude. We have gotten several estimates on our work, and no one else was this unprofessional with us. He was very vague about time and labor. Also, we had to put aside a two hour window of time to wait for him to come. Many regrets over using this company. Obviously, this will not be the company we pick to do the more expensive work.

Scheduling was challenging because of the weather. But when the weather cooperated, they came out, took down the tree, and cleaned up after themselves. The tree was removed because of Bagworm damage. They going to be doing the fertilization and treatment for next season for the remaining trees and bushes to make sure that doesn't happen again. They are also going to maintain my front lawn as well. I rated them a B because it's an ongoing relationship, but I may change the rating over time. They were certainly good and I will continue to use them.

Have used G & G for 2 years for random lawn mows, leaf removal and snow removal.  It was always somewhat difficult to get them to commit to a timetable for these services as it always seemed like they were too busy and we were intruding on their schedule.  At times the correspondence was unprofessional to say the last.  The most recent (and last) request was to have our lawn mowed for a party the following week.  I texted my request (as I've always done and was led to believe was an appropriate method) and got no response.  I waited a few days before contacting again and left a message on the office voicemail.  My party date came and went and I heard nothing from G & G. I will not use this service for anything again and will take all of my business elsewhere.
Response from Grounds and Gardens LLC
"Thanks for your comments, but it seems that there are some discrepancies. "It was always somewhat difficult....Not true. We came when we said we would come. You didn't like it when I said I wouldn't come in your driveway before first light to remove snow. You kept telling me I leave for work at 530 or 630 am, so you heard what you wanted to. Your driveway is barely wider than the trucks I use.If we seemed like we were too busy or you were intruding why did you use us for two years? Your lawn was always over a foot tall from lack of maintenance and you called us to come fix it. "At times the correspondence was unprofessional...." Well I guess it could seem that way when you text me at 5;15 am looking for service. " for a party the following week" Negative, you texted me just after 5 am 3 days before the day of your party. Your text woke me up soI read it and fell back asleep. It got lost in that days shuffle and you were not led to believe anything, I flat out told you I don't monitor texts that often and I would prefer you not to but to call which you say you did. You did not All incoming calls are kept in a log book that is triple checked. You did not call, you definitely did not leave a message, that is a bold face lie. "....will take all my business elsewhere." Thank you"

Overall poor attitude, like they were doing us a favor. Poor communication of expectations and timeframes from the start, and tried to blame us for that. Quality of work was poor. Did not clear all porch,patio, carport and sidewalk surfaces. Only shoveled small paths. Took an inordinate amount of time post storm to come clear it. Terrible experience. Will never recommend them.

"You obviously have us mistaken with another company, we are located in Nottingham and do not service Havre De Grace for snow removal. Next time before you post potential reputation damaging comments, I would suggest you make sure you are posting them about the correct company."

They were good.  It was done in a timely manner.  They did my daughter's lawn also and it was $650 for the both of them.  I would call them again.  They were fine.  They did a really good job.  They were on time.

Hired Grounds and Gardens to maintain a property while it was up for sale. I didn't want weekly service as no one was living at the property and Grounds and Gardens was amenable to stretch it a few days more between services. Very reasonably priced. Did a great job maintaining the lawn (mowing and trimming) throughout the season. I would hire them again if I ever need a lawn care company.
