They replied they could not help me.
Response from Franz Property Maintenance LLC

"I apologize that we do not currently service your area for plowing; I would rather be honest and tell you we cannot help than take your money with an over promise only to under deliver. I do not believe that warrants an F rating and I am sorry you feel that it does."

Very nice job on front of house landscaping. Large tree had been removed leaving a 20 foot diameter bare spot. Area was seeded and plants put in smaller area. Old shrugs and bushes removed, new ones put it. Areas adjacent to houses cleaned up and mulched. Work was done in one day.

Our lawn tractor needed repair and Franz Property Maintenance was great to service our yard, mowing & trimming until we were able to repair our tractor. They were great to provide us with an open-ended contract for as long as we needed. Prompt, professional service and great communication from the owner in getting the service set up.

Dealer never contacted me...
Response from Franz Property Maintenance LLC

"Hi [member's name removed], When I spoke with you on the phone on Thursday I let you know that we do not plow in your area but I would pass your information along to another company I work with who may. I am still compiling that list for my current customers as well as new potential clients as yourself as courtesy. They will be receiving it today or tomorrow and then they need time to review it. I apologize if there was a misunderstanding but I was under the impression you knew this process would take longer than 2 business days. I will leave you on the list I am forwarding as we discussed the other day. Thank you!"

I spend Jan-end of May in Arizona and contracted with Lance Property Management to do a spring clean-up before I arrived back the end of May.  This included trimming all my shrubs, weeding, mulching, etc.  What a relief to arrive home and find my property looking awesome!  I later had them come and mow one time when I wasn't able to do it myself.  Due to all the rain we had, I contracted with them in August to once again trim my shrubs and weed.  I can't emphasize enough how pleased I am that I found this company and hope I never have to again go in search of a good landscaper!  They are professional, courteous, prompt, thorough and dependable and the price is fair and worth every penny!  I get prompt & friendly responses to my emails and excellent follow-thru on everything.   I am the sole caretaker of my property, and they provide other services besides landscaping .  They will certainly be the first resource I go to in other areas of property management.  A real find!!.

This was my first time contracting a lawn service for my house,and I was a bit apprehensive until I saw the great job they did!  Lawn service went Great! Karen is polite, responsive, and professional. The scheduling and flexibility allowed for a worry free service while on vacation that looked great!. It was one less thing I had to worry about with trying to cram in the cutting before vacation in our constantly changing Buffalo weather. The guys who came on site were nice, professional, and did a great job.
I used them twice this summer (2015) and will not hesitate to use them again.

When we moved into our home 4 years ago, we never dreamed we'd have such a hard time finding reliable lawn service. It's amazing how many contractors just don't show up! Franz has been amazing. Our lawn looks great week after week, and Karen, one of the owners, is easy to get in touch with and very responsive. Billing is straightforward and the crew are polite and professional. We love that they keep clients updated on social media regarding when they'll be in the area too.

We had signed a contract that would cover summer and winter maintenance for our lawn and  snow removal from our driveway in winter.
.I refer to my review of summer above. However winter did not go so well because this company is not equipped to deliver snow removal services to customers ,whose property is not close enough. We were therefore forced to find another provider in order to leave the house timely in winter.
This summer we will pay on a 'service delivered' basis and trust that our lawn will be fine again.

Response from Franz Property Maintenance LLC

"I am sorry you feel our price was higher than you expected. However you never asked me any questions over the phone about how the 100 inches of snowfall is measured. We charge a flat rate for up to 100 inches of snowfall as measured at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport which is stated right in our contract. I quoted you a price of $375 plus tax for the first 100 inches of snow and then $20 plus tax per plow after. Your pricing was determined by the size and difficulty level of your driveway. I charge up to a specific amount of snow and then additional fees after to be fair to both parties. This way if it is an average Buffalo winter you will typically see about 80-90 inches and no additional charges are accrued. If it happens to be a particularly bad winter then we charge extra to ensure we can continue operating as normal as our operating costs will go up and we want to ensure our customers continue receiving the same level of service they receive during average Buffalo winters. Our other clients have all found this to be a fair way of pricing and are happy with the service they receive. I wish you would have addressed this with me on the phone instead of giving me 2 negative reviews without giving me the opportunity to discuss with you or without you viewing our contract to understand how we operate. I don't expect everyone to agree with our service and terms but I do expect people to give us a fair chance to explain your questions before damaging our very high reputation. I wish you the best of luck in finding the right service for the right price. I always remind my customers that we are fully insured, fully legal and all our employees are hired legally and covered under workers compensation. Good service is not always cheap and cheap service is not always good. Thank you for your interest in obtaining an estimate from our company in the first place. Best of luck in everything!"

They wanted to charge $380 for a contract that covered 100 inches of snow. They said they would charge each additional time they came out. There is no way to track snowfall in the area because of lake effect. I thought that was a ridiculous way to setup a contract.
