Masters Of The Lawn

I have been using Masters since May 2009 and provided a review on Angie's List on May 5, 2015. Jorge, the owner, is responsive and willing to come out and give estimates for work not normally performed, e.g., a huge branch from my neighbor's yard came down on my shed during a storm, dangled precariously for a week and then snapped. Jorge said his company did not have the huge ladders or equipment to climb the tree and gave me the name of another company that could do it. The other company was too busy so I asked Rachel, the Office Manager, if they could at least cut half the branch to take the pressure off the shed. Masters' crew came out the very next day, slung ropes around that tree and took that branch down. It was like a circus act - they did a terrific job, and cleaned up, all for a very reasonable price. This year I was lucky enough to get Wagner and Maximo to mow and trim my front and back yard. Wagner is the ultimate professional: I call him the Master of the Edger as he does the work with geometric precision and cuts the grass so it looks like a golf course. My yard has never looked this great since Wagner came along. Maximo does the blowing and takes care that the clippings don't fall on my flower beds. They are always on time, extremely reliable and make sure to close all gates when they leave. Rachel even offered to replace a window well when it got accidentally nicked but I declined. I cannot recommend this company enough for their dedication, courtesy and fine work. Hats off especially to Wagner! Try to get him if you can.

not good; cut my lawn bi-weekly; grass was choppy; did not clean out droppings from the garden on the lawn/gutter, bad attitude of workers.

I think we got them through Angie's List. I was happy that I was able to negotiate a price with them. I asked them to do twice a week but they would not do that. It seems like it is more expensive than my previous lawn mower. If you give directions they do it. They don't have a time; you just get put on the schedule and then they mow your lawn when they get to it. They try to do you every Wednesday. Their punctuality is fine for the field that they are in. We just auto pay.

Masters of the Lawn did an amazing job clearing away years of growth from our Mother's property. They continued providing service by cutting grass every two weeks ongoing through the Summer and Fall. We paid from a distance, and would recommend this company with great enthusiasm. It was challenging to find a company that would perform the required services, send us photos (we live in the Chicagoland area), and not take advantage of us nor our aging parent.

I have been using Masters of the Lawn since May 2009. Their prices are very reasonable. They are extremely punctual and if they have been unable to mow because of rain they catch up as soon as it's dry. They do not require an annual contract and one year when I was having my patio and front walk repaired and mowing could not be done they were very reasonable, did not charge me even though it disrupted their schedule, and just caught up again when the patio work was finished. They will always try to fit you in even if you drag your feet and don't call until the last minute, like this spring when it seemed the snow would never end.
I have plastic window wells that are very susceptible to breakage because of those devilish weed whackers. Two years in a row Jorge da Costa, the owner, has had them replaced at no cost to me.  The company has done this at a loss as the labor and cost of replacing them was quite high. This year I decided to block off the area so they don't need to trim anywhere near the wells.
Rachel, the Office Manager, is very prompt about returning calls and does an excellent job with e-mail correspondence. She is courteous, professional, competent and a pleasure to deal with.  Jorge goes out of his way to provide excellent service to his customers and makes sure that they are satisfied. Joel does my lawn because the other crews had problems with my window wells. If you are lucky enough to get Joel, you will be very pleased as he works hard, does a thorough job and the results are excellent. His trimming and edging are neat, he edges around the pavers, and I cannot recommend him, Jorge and Rachel highly enough.

It was OK although there arrival dates were a little difficult to pin down but they managed to show up well enough to stay on top of the leaf and twigs blowing.
They were not very well supervised, however, and the boss, George, who is a very responsible person, was usually not with them and it was hard to know who was in charge.
The reason I am not continuing with them is because I have retained a new service which provides all garden work within their group. Previously, I had been working with as many as four different services and it was too complicated.

Masters of the Lawn provides good service.  They always come on schedule and do a good, job.  In addition to mowing the lawn, they always remove all leaves and other debris in the yard.  We also have them trim our shrubs, mulch, etc. and clean up the leaves every fall.  They are fairly reasonably priced.
