It looks great. The neighbors have asked for Spartan Lawn Care's name and number.
Description of Work
Spartan Lawn Care did a great job. From evaluating our property and responding to our requests to implementation and work, Rusty and his team were consummate professionals. They knew plants and species to recommend that would be deer resistant.

Great! They responded to my inquiry immediately, came out within a few days to give me a quote, and performed the service as soon as I accepted the quote. They were also very easy to work with as far as "tweaking" the job so that I could save money. In other words, I said that I would do some tasks myself and they took those tasks off the original quote.
Description of Work
I had a small landscape/clean-up job done. This is the third time I've called Spartan to take care of a small job that other companies can't be bothered to do.

When the gentleman came to the house for the estimate, he was told we needed the area in front of the house plowed so the mailman could deliver the mail. We decided to have them do the sidewalks also, along with the whole driveway which went out in back of the house. He was also told that they could not take a plow up the driveway past the gate as it was very narrow and they would run the risk of damaging either the fence or the air conditioner compressor. He indicated that was no problem as they had snow throwers to handle that area. The first snow, I went outside to see how things were progressing and found that they had driven the vehicle up the whole driveway and found they had a difficult time trying to turn the truck around to get back out. They were told never to do that again. They also used a small shovel to clean the sidewalk, leaving a narrow path to walk. The second time they came out, I cornered them about the driveway as far as doing it out back and they indicated they would have to use shovels to do it. When asked about the snow throwers, they indicated they had all been taken by the other crews and they did not have one to use. They said if we weren't in any hurry to get out, they would come back later and finish it. That was about 4am in the morning. We waited and waited until mid afternoon for them to return and when it appeared they were not, a neighbor came and finished doing what they should have done. In talking with the two gentlemen that had come to do the plowing, it was apparent that what the original gentleman had been told was never relayed to the crew as they said that what I was telling them had never been put on the card. I decided they were not capable of handling the job and sent them an email that from that point on, they were only to do in front of the house and the driveway out front of the gate. Another snow came and they showed up to do what I had asked, but brought along a snow thrower to do the rest of the driveway, which they were not to do. With the fence, the driveway is narrow and when they were done, the snow was piled along the fence as well as up against the basement wall of the house. With the driveway being narrow to begin with, it left little room to get the vehicle down the driveway. Again I had to have the neighbor clean up after them and they had been told to leave that area alone. Needless to say, it appeared there was a general lack of communication on their end and I sent them another email cancelling anything further with them. I waited and waited for them to send a bill and finally had to call and leave a message that if they we could get a bill to me, I would send a check for what I owed. Amazing, after I left the voice mail the bill was finally sent. I couldn't help but wonder if I hadn't called and left the message on it, when would I have received it. The whole ordeal was not worth it. What a crock.

Performed services not requested, took over a month to send an official contract, and not until after I contested the bill. My lawn did not require a weekly mow especially with it being so small and half burned from the sun. Absolutely rude when dealing with customer service.

It took a long time to hear from Spartan. Their quote was a bit more than I expected, but we agreed on pricing and work to be done. After a number of missed service dates, I gave up and did it myself. Disappointing

We've have had other lawn mowing companies in the past mow the lawn etc. and I can truthfully say that Spartan Lawn Care is the best that we've had. From the time that I first called, to them cutting the lawn was just 1 week. That time included getting the contract and sending it back. The lawn looks wonderful and I'm very pleased with them. I am also signing a contract with them for snow removal. Snow will again be here again before we know it!

Spartan has plowed our driveway about 8-9 times this winter. They come promptly but they wait until the snowfall is finished. If it is a heavy snow that lasts for hours, they come when necessary to get out of the driveway and then return to finish the job after snowfall is ended. They also will return free of charge after the county plow has filled the end of the driveway if we call and request it. They're careful to avoid damage to the lawn. They come with two men in the truck; one shovels the front walk and around a parked car while the driver plows the heavy snow. We have had three or four other plow services over the years. Spartan is by far the best. My only concern is that everyone else will read this review and hire them, making them too busy.
Description of Work
Spartan plows our driveway whenever there are 2 inches or more of snow for 30 dollars per occurrence, per contract. The charge is 50 dollars if more than five inches of snow.

It went well, especially when my neighbors reported that while I was away, the provider still cleared my drive and walk. This was important since I had individuals working in my home while I was away.The provider has told me that they will provide salt on my walk if needed but I do not know if that has been done. or if it is extra. I am going to ask them to make sure the curb in front of my mailbox is clear. The mail person will not deliver if it is not. Also, the provider is excellent in returning to make sure the end of my drive is done after the plow trucks leave snow at the entrance. I would like to have an email sent by the provider each time they have provided a service. This can be checked against the bill and the times my neighbors have recorded their services for me.
Description of Work
The provider removes the snow from my drive and sidewalk.. It is done while I am asleep. I like the fact that if I am not disturbed, my neighbors aren't either.

Aeration went fine; rolling did not. Company did not disagree (our communication was primarily through email) with my decision not to pay for rolling after second unsuccessful effort and an unfulfilled promise to try a third time again.

Aerate and roll lawn for $160.00 total. Ended up paying for aeration only. See below for explanation.

Fabulous. Shane came out on several occasions to talk about what I wanted and give his ideas. His workers arrived when they said they would and did a great job. I can't believe how great things looked when they finished. They cleaned up and were very friendly and professional and I would definitely use them again!
Description of Work
They did a cleanup and removal of poison ivy, scrub and vines. Then they put in grass seed, mulch and some plantings.

Although I'd love to say nice things about these folks, I can't really say anything. I called this company (and others) to ask for an estimate. They promised to call me back on Monday after going past my house to look at the land's layout. They never called me back. Now, Angie's list specifically asks me to review them? They may do great work once you're set up but I don't know anything about that. All I know is that they didn't keep the promise to call me back. I ended up using a different group because they were responsive. They were perfectly polite and nice on the phone though so I don't want to say anything negative about them.

The provider did not "do" anything.

I have used them for snow removal. They did some great, well priced work in my yard last spring. THIS year....the person missed the first appt. because he "entered my phone number wrong" (I should have been in the books anyways) and then he came the next week: I had to call and ask where the estimate was a week later I got it, about $300 mote than I anticipated.....I cut back some items and sent the contract back...waited another week to hear,,then I just canceled. Of course then, I got an immediate letter of apology...but , Im over it.... VERY NICE to talk to though.

When we bought the house the yard was a disaster. Spartan knew exactly what to do to bring it back to a beautiful, "grub free" green...we went from the worst lawn in the neighborhood to the best. They also moved and replanted a number of trees and flowerbeds. You wouldn't know it was the same yard! As far as snow, what little there was this year, was promptly removed and we appreciated that they were very careful around our newly planted shrubbery.

Last summer we used Spartan Lawn Care to repair our lawn and and trees. We were very impressed with their thorough work and timelimess we decided to use them this winter for snow removal as well.

To be honest, their service was a little spotty over the past summer, I had asked them to mow my lawn while I was on vacation for two weeks and it never happened, and they had to come back a time or two after each cleanup to finish things which were on my "to-do" list but did not get completed. When I called to complain they were right out to fix the problem, and gave me a free mow, but it was a little frustrating to have it happen on several occasions, which is why I gave them a B overall, and for quality/responsiveness. With that being said, their prices are very good, and my yard always looks fantastic when they are finished. Shane indicated they'd hired some new staff which had not worked out well in 2012, which is maybe why things seemed to go better in 2011. Snow removal service is good, they're out first thing in the morning on a snowy day, and it's nice not to have to come home from work on a dark & cold night to have to worry about shoveling my sidewalk & driveway.
