Michael's Lawn Service

unknown

Michael came on Thursday to quote the work and for mowing the 2015 season. He was able to come and do the job the very next day. Michael and two helpers arrived at 8 am. They spent 7 working hours - 21 man hours. Everything I asked for was done. I also had purchased Preen which they spread on 4 flower beds and the mulched area under a tree. Winter downed limbs were stacked neatly at the curb for the town to shred in the coming days. I was very satisfied and even my daughter was impressed. He quoted $27 a mow for this season with weekly during the prime growing months and bi-weekly when we get into the dry slow growing season. I will post anther review at the end of the season on how it went.

Their service went great and I give them all A's. I will use them again in the future.

Did not return calls in a timely manner, so services were not used. Had already booked another provider.

Mike's provided three different services for me with different results. The spring clean up and mulching was done excellently. The men worked professionally and in a timely manner. I was very pleased. I needed a cement pad for my shed. Mike and his crew moved the existing shed and it remained in my yard for at least two weeks. I know whether played some factor in this, but I did wonder why they did not work when the weather was better. Once the cement got installed things moved more quickly. When Mike arrived to do the landscaping around the shed he gave me the option of using sod instead of seed. This raised the price, but I was okay with that. They had also removed a dirt pile I had in the yard and was able to use it all for the landscaping project. I was pleased with the look when it was completed, but was told he would be back to roll the sod in a few days. He has never returned and that was 3 weeks ago. I was extremely displease with the mowing of the lawn. First there never was a designated day when his crew would come. Some of this was do to weather, This meant that my yard gates had to remain unlocked because I never knew when they would show up. This also meant that many times I was unable to discuss my displeasure with the way the lawn was being mowed. When I did speak to the crew about this, they told me the grass was being cut long because the ground was to wet. I have not seen the crew in two weeks even though they were to cut the grass until the end of June. While I was very pleased with the mulching of the beds and even the shed work, my lawn is a mess and I would not rehire this service to cut my grass again.

I had gotten a quote from Mike to plow my driveway and sidewalk but another provider said he would match Mike's quote and honor a discount for a Living Social coupon I had as well so I went with him. On the day of our first big snow storm he only plowed the end of my driveway. After several attempts to contact this guy I finally got a hold of him to find he couldn't fit his truck in my driveway. I called Mike explained the situation and asked if he could still do my driveway. He said he could but asked If I could wait until the next day which I agreed too. For the price he can't be beat. I have to update and downgrade my review. I used Mike for two years but there were several times when I'd have to call him to get the driveway down. Sometimes he'd return my calls and sometimes not but what really caused me to change my review is that this year he never sent me a contract, never staked my driveway and didn't return my call. His price still can't be beat but for it to be a good price he has to show up.

We have used them for snowplow services for a couple of years and if we are out of town they mow the lawn. He does a marvelous job and is here really early or really late, depending when it snows. He does a great job and his prices are reasonable. I have a tough driveway and if it's not done, I can't get in it. I haven't had any problems since I started using them. They come out when they know they need to. If you have any amount of snow, your plowing is already done.
