house was being listed. Called TheGuy, had always seen his flyers and trucks around. I wanted a spring cleanup as well, asking for removal of the large saplings and hedges squared in the back yard that needed trimming as well. They explained they would do anything outdoors I needed at a flat hourly rate of $78.00. A bit steep for lawn work, I thought, but she claimed it was actually for 2 individuals not 1, and the job would finish that much quicker. I suggested they drive by and take a look at the hedge because the hedges were not overly tall, but they might want to consider use an extension or step stool should the equipment to trim be short. She said it should not be an issue. I also wanted the saplings cut, weed whipped, and everything edged. She explained that edging was done every other $29 visit. But would make note of the request. Later in the week received an invoice, for $234, 3 hours work. Then a second invoice, because the first one was wrong they forgot to put some $25 extra fee in there for wood chips used. Ok, fine, whatever. I gladly paid the bill. Happy to know it was cleaned up. I wish I hadn?t. I should have just told them I?d find somebody else after the outcome. A few days later I went to the house and found that the saplings were still growing around the trees, the edging had not been done, and the hedges were only ½ done, and not half done like ½ of the total hedges done, but only the half they could cut with trimmer from the ground, I would guess they did not bring a step stool like I suggested originally. But rather found it acceptable to just cut the top half way and leave. They looked horrible on top, the closest side was cut down about 1 ft from the back half which stood all overgrown and out of control. Yet they billed me for this job. I took pictures of it all, sent an email with the pictures and explained that I was very disappointed. A woman named Sarah wrote me back and said she was sorry for the issues, and will send out a work crew to return and address the bushes. (But she left out a key piece of information; they will be back out, at the same per hour charge) I later returned, the bushes got a bit more trimmed off and were at least square. Edging still had not been done, and saplings were still there, but as she explained to me originally, the edging might actually get done every other trip. Maybe they will get this next week. The grass looked like they came in with a industrial tractor and did 2 sweeps though the yard and were gone in 5 minutes. The first thing they realtor said to me when she showed up for final pictures were, ?you need to fire whoever it is doing the lawn work around here? She?ll send over her handy man to clean up this mess quickly so we can get pictures. That was until this morning. When I was contacted by phone. Asking if I received the invoices via email, or the ?collection? calls. Because I had not paid my bill since the first invoice. Who exactly did you call? Not this number that I just answered your phone call on. Or that email address. I work in IT, I know if emails are sent or not sent, I checked the inbox and the spam filters, and our gateways, and there were no emails ever sent. I asked her to send me them again while we were on the phone, and magically here they all come, just like the magic of me just now picking up the phone they never called before. What?s in the invoice??? Well how about another $78 an hour for FIXING the hedges. 3 more cuts, at $29 and the edging is still not done? weeds are now coming out of the cracks between driveway slabs, saplings I gave up on and did myself. The kid down the street with a push mower who did it all cockeyed and uneven did a better job than this. I seriously expected a profession service and just never saw a glint of professionalism out of any of this. I told the woman on the phone, ?just send me the invoices, and stop doing the work, I?m really not happy with any of this service, it?s something I can?t be bothered with right now.? She then informs me of the cancelation fee? WHAT? Oh, yeah, another thing you forgot to inform me of, Oh, there?s that pattern again. Whatever, I pay somebody to do the lawn for me because I have bigger things I need to deal with. I was able to at least talk her out of that fee. Like many in the area, my whole house was flooded this week; I have so many other issues to worry about right now then this racket here. I paid all of it, just to make it go away, I don?t want to argue about it. Have my extra money for the work you want to claim done right the first time. All the glossy cards left on area doors, and mail flyers with the cute little stick guy on it is great marketing, but I?m better off with the kid that walks up and down the street with the push mower and takes a few minutes to put some pride in the job. I went and did the edging myself as well.

FAQs for brush chipping projects in Presque Isle, MI
Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
