545 Lawn Care Inc

This is the second season I've used 545 for snow removal. Last season wasn't great - this season worse. The driveway and stairs and porch are absolutely never snow free. They do a very fast job and leave tons of snow so my driveway and stairs are always icy and snow filled even after they come. And for $600/season I would expect them to salt, but they don't salt. They at least do show up consistently, so I'll give them that. I won't use them again next year!

The work that was done was about the poorest we've seen. We only allowed them to mow twice.  There was tufts of grass left between lanes in the back, and the fence to the back was left open.  We understand that $30 is pretty typical, but the quality was disappointing.  As for spreading the mulch . . . we had pre-purchased the mulch and layed the bags in the areas needed.  We thought that, for $150 dollars labor, it would entail the garden areas in the front and the back.  However, upon seeing our house the day after they came ONLY  the front was complete. . . 6-8 bags, so perhaps a 1/2 hour's worth of work., if that.    The mulch was not spread in any of the other garden areas.  They did trim the four front bushes, and they looked nice. Still, $150 seems rather steep for trimming 4 bushes and spreading a few bags of mulch.  

Best snow removal service we have had by far - he was timely, and did a great job.

Jerry Nauman, owner, responded immediately to my request. I paid $250 in December and the remaining $250 at the end of Jan. We just had the 3rd largest snowfall in I and his crew came and plowed late at night. I'm extremely satisfied.

I contacted several places, but since I only needed my lawn mowed once, companies were reluctant, however, 545-Lawn was willing to help me out since my lawn was getting high while waiting for lawn mower parts.

We agreed on a price and discussed that he would just mow and I could take care of the trim, no mention of any grass clippings.  He asked if I had a dog and I told him I'll make sure and pick up any before he mows, which I did that morning (combed the entire backyard).   I had a picture in my mind the grass would look professionally done with the exception of trim.  

I was not expecting the grass to look pristine, but I did not expect to come home to a lawn that looked like that someone just got on a riding lawn mower and just went to town going like 50 MPH.  In entering the backyard, they ran over the ground cover ? flat as a pancake.

I could understand a missed cut here and there and a few grass clippings, but not to where you couldn't even see the grass with all the clippings.  A non-professional know to check for missed spots and go back over them. 



  I called a professional service, is it too much to ask for a professional looking job?  I had to clean-up their mess. We agreed I would trim myself, but it could have looked better at least with no miss-cuts and clippings.  The front was a small area and miss cuts, grass clippings - at least do a good job in the front yard.

I called to let him know how I was shocked to see the results.  I received a voice mail saying the reason my lawn did not look like a putting green is because of the dog species (I might have missed one, but come on).   I was told they went over the lawn three times to remove grass clippings.  Basically, on his voice mail, I was to blame for the bad job.

I said to myself, I would have been better off leaving the grass high then what the results were of them mowing my lawn.  Never again, would I hire them.  I even gave them a $5.00 (left in mailbox) tip.  

Perfect, Jerry th e owner was there from start to finish doing all the work himself with no speed bumps.

Went very well, service provided as requested in a timely fashion.

It has been great.  They come once a week.  I have had about 1.5 months of service.

Jerry was very prompt in getting back with me on a quote for snow removal. I felt the price was fair, and he honored the 10% Angie's discount. They were punctual and did a through job of removing snow from the driveway, sidewalk and porch. I will definitely use them again and have contracted with them for lawn service this summer.

returned call immediately to schedule estimate...was prompt with that as well and all work was performed as discussed...came 3 times for leaf pick up and the job was excellent...also, called after each visit to notify me of progress and next step.  would definitely use again and refer to others as well!

Overall satisfied with every aspect of the work performed. Both properties look much better after the work. The only thing I would have preferred is instead of spraying the weeds/ grass prior to mulching is tearing out thegrass and weeds and racking the dirt and laying down landscape fabric to prevent the regrowth of weeds and grass through the mulch. But this was realized and thought of after the fact.I would recommend this service and will be using in thefuture on other prioperties we own.

He came on time, gave us a good estimate, did the job in one day, explained the process, and answered all our questions.  He is very professional.
