Nicholson's Complete Lawn Care

Please note that this company is no longer operated by Steve Nicholson. It seems that he sold to one of his employees, and the paperwork side of things is now a mess. They attempted to bill me for site visits prior to me taking possession of my current home. To make things worse, the lady in the office (i.e. the girlfriend of the guy who bought the company) was extremely unprofessional and accused me of lying. There are too many other quality lawn services in the area to bother with this one.

Excellent work. Only problem I had was on one occasion they failed to show up as scheduled. This would never keep me from utilizing their services again. Would highly recommend.

I ordered the mulch last fall and had to call and remind them of the delivery several times. They did not deliver the mulch until my plants were blooming and 18-20 inches high. They did not ring my door bell to tell me they were there. I asked them to write their names down on paper and they did not do it. They spread the mulch using a shovel all over my flowers, bent the flowers down and broke them. They did not spread the mulch around my plants but instead on top. They came in the morning, worked for a couple hours and then left for lunch and did not come back until 3:30pm. They did not send me good workers. You are supposed to survey your work, not leave broken flowers. I tried to complain but the manager does not answer his phone. On the plus side, they do know how to shape. Even though the tool did not seem sharp enough due to shreds at the end of the branches, the shaping was done very well.

The driveway was covered with 1 1/2 inches of ice.  He put 3 bags of Ice Melt on it and the following day we were able to use our snow blower to get rid of whatever slushy ice remained.  Well done Stephen!  We appreciated the fast service.

I think that Steve's crew does a good job (usually in/out in less than 15 - 20 minutes) but not any better than others that work in this neighborhood  - I feel that he is overpriced for the service that we have gotten.  He promised that my lawn would look spectacular by springtime - well it's still a work in progress.  His crew has yet to do any cutting back of the shrubs which we requested to be done last year but I guess they forgot.
I plan to use another service knowing that they won't be a full service lawn company.
Most of the chemicals that they use can be purchased and since my lawn is less than 1/2 acre, I don't think it'll be a big deal getting it on the grass.

I am resubmitting a review that was incorrectly reported on Angie's List.   Don't know whether it was my omission or the website's fault, but I wanted to reiterate what a fine company Mr. Nicholson has and how professional and complete their work has been in the two times I have used their services.   Mr. Nicholson is very polite and professional and wonderful to check after the work was done that it was completed satisfactorily.    I would not hesitate to hire Nicholson's Complete Lawn Care Service again.

From start to finish the job, from my vantage point, went extremely well. I called Nicholson Lawn Care because I read reviews on Angie's List. Steve happened to be free due to inclement weather & came by within 30 minutes. He spent a lot of time with me & is extremely personable, knowledgeable, & professional. He quoted me a fair price & promised to do the job as soon as the weather allowed. Normally, I would blow the leaves myself. I have a professional, heavy duty blower & actually enjoy the job, however, this year I could not do the job myself so reluctantly I hired Nicholson's Lawn Service. I am so happy I did & may have to sell my blower. I could never do the professional job that Steve's crew did. I would hire Nicholson's Lawn Care without hesitation in the future.

Steve was very professional in the performance of the job. He is an excellent communicator and we were never left wondering if or when the job would be done. It took more than day to complete the job and he called at all the right times to let us know when he'd be coming. I wish all our providers were as good at that as he is. 
First rate job. Reasonable cost. No regrets. We'll definitely use his services again.

They did an absolutely wonderful job for a price that was at the low end of the estimate.  Steve was very considerate to call in advance and show up promptly.  They spent about six hours and the yard looks wonderful.  He also explained a marvelous plan to maintain our back yard in the future to prevent the sort of build up that had occurred--all in a very low key manner.  I recommend him and his very professional crew as highly as I can.

EXCELLENT!  He and his crew did an amazing job and hauled all the underbrush away.  I can't express how great Steve is and the work he performs.  He's honest and does great work!  I will definitely be using them again!

Trying to maintain 1.5+ acres has become more challenging so we looked for a service that we could rely on to do what we needed, when we needed it. As my husband as been known as both the Lawn Ranger and the Sod Father, there is high standard for quality and professional service. We contacted Steve who came out that day and spent as much time as we needed to walk the entire property and discuss our needs. Then he told us, in a very clear and honest manner, what his company does, how work is priced, what type of equipment he uses, and answered every question we could throw at him. We asked him to put together a proposal for our review which he e-mailed within a day. It was very exacting in its detail regarding what would be done and when over the 12 month period including application of fertilizers, pruning, etc.. The ultimate goal is to keep the property presentable and in good shape all the time - year round. The cost is spread evenly over the 12 months which makes budgeting easier for us.
Nicholson's began caring for our property two months ago and we are very happy so far. As promised, they have begun to work on things like the pruning and shaping of our trees and shrubs. Steve creates his schedules knowing that bad weather is inevitable and leaves room to make sure he can get to all his clients even if it isn't on the "regular" day. Best of all, we don't have to worry about coming home from time away and finding overgrown conditions. We can't wait for Fall and being able to enjoy the color instead of agonizing over leaf removal. We love our home and know that having this service will keep us in it for years to come.
