They returned my call promptly, promised to complete work before a stated date, and followed up on their promise. The supervisor checked on the work performed and made sure we were satisfied. All in all, a very pleasant experience.
Description of Work: Front yard cleaned up, edged beds, took out dead shrub, raked up pine needles, spread mulch (provided by us) and removed the debris. They were fast, skilled, hand-pulled up weeds, and were careful not to harm drip system in all beds. We felt their rates were quite reasonable (I never reveal price to anyone), and would certainly have them again.

In the 5 years we've used Total Lawn Care, we've spent between $1,500 --> $5,000/year with Total Lawn Care, depending on the work we've hired them to complete. Will continue to use Total Lawn Care and will continue to recommend their services to family and friends.
Description of Work: We have used Total Lawn Care for the past 5 years and recommend them to family and friends. They have done extensive landscape work for us (landscaped the front and back yard as well as installed a modified french drain to help address drainage issues) and their crew members do outstanding work. After having Total Lawn Care do our weekly maintenance for the past 5 years the overall appearance of our lawn is greatly improved, the grass is thicker, greener and even our neighbors’ comment on how nice our yard looks when they walk past. Total Lawn Care also does fertilization of our lawn as well as our trees and shrubs. I appreciate that Total Lawn Care waits until the weather conditions are suitable to fertilize and isn't treating our lawn when the ground is still frozen (as I see many other service providers do). Bill and Peter are good to work with and are responsive to our requests or questions. At times it is difficult to get a date scheduled for Total Lawn Care to perform services (outside of weekly mowing) and it takes follow-up with the office to get a date confirmed, ultimately they do always show up to perform the work

Bill initially met with us to discuss what we wanted for our front yard makeover. He then provided a proposal of his overall design, plant choices and pricing. It took me some time, but I asked him to come back out again to discuss my revisions, which he did. Bill and his team moved a large area of rocks to our back yard, brought in topsoil and mulch, added a water drain "pop-up" for two downspouts, planted two trees, bushes, and plants. They also installed some simple landscape lighting. Bill was knowledgeable and so much fun to work with, he shared my excitement and interest for the project. Their team worked very hard for us, were polite, professional and kind. Overall, we are very pleased. Their pricing was better than most, we are looking forward to enjoying our new landscaping for several years. Thank you, Total Lawn Care!

He came by and said he would send a team out to check the current grade and make recommendations. No follow up was ever done and the company never sent out a second representative.

I used them for number of years. They were extremely willing workers and will undertake to do anything I ask them. They respond very quickly to a phone call. They were punctual and do not need to be called all the time. The sprinkler system which was difficult, they were good about that too. They were good when I used them.

I would like to update my prior review and ratings of Total Lawn Care. While last year I had some issues and was more critical of the company, the company has made some significant improvements this year. The owner (Pete) has hired a new office manager and they both have worked to make my experiences much better this year. The lawn continues to be cut consistently with a good degree of quality. Pete (or his office manager) have been very responsive to my calls and inquiries this year, and I am satisfied with their service. I appreciate Pete's professionalism and demeanor, and feel he takes a pride in his company and work. I will be continuing with their service.
Description of Work: Total lawn care was responsible for our weekly lawn care and a couple clean-up efforts. Approx 120 on a monthly basis.

Response from Total Lawn Care Inc
We completed our company renewals during the months of January and Feburay. We completed the member's renewal on Feburary 6, 2012 and it was sent out with a letter and prices for all services he completed with us in 2011. We performed a spring clean with the member on May 16, shrub trimming on August 12, and a fall clean on December 1 all of 2011. All weekly cuts were performed on specified day with the exception of holidays or weather which would back us up one day. All phone calls are returned as company policy. We did have a problem with the spring clean, however the work that was completed was specified on the estimate that was submitted for approval. After our conversation with the customer, we did adjust the invoice to the customer's satisfaction. The customer expected shrub trimming with a spring clean which is not necessary as shrubs to not need to be trimmed in May until they have the spring growth. Once the customer decided to have the shrub trimmning completed by us, we completed the work with 10 business days. I followed up about the work that was completed and customer was happy with the trimming. We completed the fall clean in December and we had no complaints regarding this work. All invoices were paid in full with the exception of the spring clean which was lowered to satisfy the customers feelings about the trimming not being done when not needed. As far as our failure to renew, we sent a three page packet for the customer to complete and send to us.

With the first snowfall of 2" they were here and hand shovelled the sidewalk, steps to the house as well as the driveway.
Description of Work: I have a contract with this company for snow removal for the season. Even though we haven't had much snow we could have. It gives me peace of mind to know that I won't have to experience all of the shovelling I had to do last winter!

The first treatment went well they called the day before to say they were coming, they came out did both the grub treatment and the fertilization and weed control. They left the invoice of what they did plus watering instructions, which were a little confusing as the grub control said not to water the lawn for several hours but the fertilization said to water the grass. I had expected them to do the aeration on the first visit too. Six weeks passed and they had not been back so we called to find out when they were coming back, they explained rainy weather had delayed them and said they would be out soon. They called a few days later tolet us know they were coming out. This time they did the fertilization and weed control but still no aeration. I cancelled my contract after that treatment. Everyone I dealt with seemed very nice but they just did not seem to have enough time to do a good job and the lawn still had unwanted weeds.
Description of Work: I contracted to have them do 6 fertilizer treatments and spot weed control as needed plus 2 grub control treatments one at the beginnig and one more at the end of summer plus one lawn aeration. I also wanted to be called the day before any treatment so I could keep the cat inside.

I found Total Lawn Care on Angie's List and noted that they are located close to my property and have an "A" rating with many positive comments. I called on July 1, 2011 and explained to the receptionist that I had found them on Angie's List and that I was looking for someone to mow the grass on property that we own in Troy. I explained that since I live out of the area and currently in the process of renovating the property, I was just looking to have the grass cut and trimming completed, but that I would be looking to do more landscaping in the future. The person answering the phone said that the owner would need to complete an estimate and because I would not be there at the property they would either email or call me with the estimate. After not hearing anything for a week I called Total Lawn Care again on July 7th with the same person I previously spoke with answeing the phone. She was very polite and apologetic and assured me that they still had my request, as well as my contact information. She said that she would put my request on top and would let the owner know that I had called again. She asked if they could leave the estimate in the mail box. Again, I explained that I would not be there to receive the estimate and I requested that they either email or call me with the estimate. She assured me that they would get back to me with the estimate. It's now July 22nd and Total Lawn Care has never called back or emailed. While I can understand that they may be too busy to do the work or perhaps they just didn't want my business, you would think that they could at least be professional enough to call (or email) to let you know that they're not interested. I never call a contractor more than twice and if they don't return my calls, I figure that they've had their chance and I should seek someone who is more reliable. Nothing irritates me more than a contractor who doesn't return calls. With all the positve comments on Angie's List, I expected that my experience with Total Lawn Care would have been more positive.

I've used Total Lawn Care before with good results. Very happy with the results (again). My yard is quite shady and I am always concerned whether the grass will take, but Bill Udell and TLC have been very successful. Sometimes it can be tough to get in touch with Bill, though he does return calls after 1-2 days. Also it would be nice if I were provided with a time/date of when they are coming out, but I understand that they are subject to the weather and this may be the norm in the landscaping business. Price is reasonable, though not inexpensive. I would highly recommend this company and will continue to do business with them.

My experience is at a time when TLC has apparently had some HR problems. My job was estimated and confirmed and scheduled 4/21 by someone who left the company just after that. The job was originally scheduled for 5/12. After missing that date the job was done on 5/23. The crew could have been better prepared- arrived without some critical equipment. The work was done well and completed in one day.

No agreement, no follow up per this company!
Description of Work: I could not get this company to even come out to view my dilemma in my backyard... I left them 2 messages and asked if they could come out back in early March. I got a call back early March and the person stated they could come out early April. Guess what... no call back, no contact, no update period via this company. I would not recommend! I will never make 3 phone calls to any company for any reason if they seem disinterested within my initial/intro call!

It went great! The yard looked really good. They didnt bother anyone, they just did the work and left. I like the company so far! I called, they came, they worked and they left. What more can you ask for in a company. I even drilled the company on how their crew dressed and they made me feel real comfortable when they said they were uniformed and did not believe in anything else. I will be using them this Spring and I expect that I will continue to receive great service.
Description of Work: I called for lawn services, specifically for a Fall clean-up and monthly maintenace service. Someone from the company called me back within a few days and came out to see the job. I was suprised that they had been out prior to receivng a very nice professional estimate in the mail. I believe they tried to call me and tell me that they were stopping by but I was really busy and most likely missed the call. But, they came out and took a look and sent a nice estimate. I will be using them for the upcoming Spring clean-up and monthly yard services. I finally feel like I may have a company that I can count on. The only thing I didn't like is West Bloomfield was on a later date to get our leaves done. That put me out a couple of weeks longer than I wanted but...I really didnt get much leave afterwards.

Right before the first very cold night of the year, I called many places to winterize my sprinkler system so the pipes wouldn't burst. The first three that I called were either outrageously overpriced ($130 for one) or couldn't do the work for a week or more. Total lawn care answered my call right away. They took my information so they could check availability. They called me back within the hour saying they could do it the next day for $50. The technician showed up on time (even a few minutes early) and did the work quickly. I will continue to use their service.

Bill provided useful insight into what would work and what would not work on my shady lawn. He also provided tips on future maintenance for the yard. He seemed to be the most knowledgeable of all the quotes I got, so I signed with his company. The workers were efficient and thorough, came early in the morning and got to work immediately, did not appear to cut any corners. The cleaned up after they left and my yard looked completely different after they were done! About 1 week after they finished working the grass seed started to germinate and is producing excellent results, even in areas where I was afraid no grass would grow due to problems with shade. Hopefully my lawn will turn into a nice green carpet over the next few weeks, I will keep my fingers crossed. My experience with this company has been short, but excellent. Over the next few weeks as I continue to deal with them I will have a better idea of how they work. I highly recommend them to my friends. Only problem was with scheduling - initially I was told they were coming out on a Thursday, and they didn't. When I called later they promised to come out that Saturday, and did. Also it took 3 weeks for them to come out to do the work after we had agreed on the terms.
Description of Work: Trimmed branches from trees to allow sun to enter lawn. Entire yard covered with new topsoil, all new mulch added, grass seed, fertilizer and insecticide applied. Spring-clean up of dead leaves, twigs, weeds, etc.
