I inquired about doing some landscaping work and some odd home repair jobs. I understand when people are busy, but I personally don't like having to chase someone down for a response. Ted is punctual and arrives when he says for a consult or job, however waiting 3 weeks for an estimate and getting no response when I ask for a breakdown of a $2800 landscaping job is not my idea of good business.
Description of Work: Ted was referred to me initially for lawn care and later other projects. He has mowed my lawn twice for a very reasonable fee and I have been happy with his service for that.

They were punctual in their response to my request and got the job done on time and very well.
Description of Work: Active Maintenance came to my home and performed a thorough lawn clean, including moving a downed tree limb. The weeds were so bad they had to be weed-wacked by hand, yet they were reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them and plan to use them for regular lawn maintenance.

We were very happy with Jordan and his crew. They identified and removed a tree that was a danger to our house and road, pruned our flowering trees (we'll ask them back year to take care of them again) and, best of all, tested a sugar maple we were worried about. They removed on section of the tree and this lovely tree was saved.
Description of Work: Trees evaluated, pruned, two dead trees taken down, one dangerous tree taken down, one formerly dangerous tree saved!

I pay them on a yearly basis. I live in the city and they take care of my house upstate. I don't have to call them, and I don't have to worry about them. They are on a schedule. They go out and they do the work. I have no complaints about them. They are not cheap, but they are not expensive. Their reliability is phenomenal. I never have a problem. They are never any issues. They never take any short cuts. They are always on time and actually earlier, which is a big difference for me. They are very professional. I will consider using them again in the future.
Description of Work: Active Maintenance came out 2 weeks ago and did landscaping that included cutting grass, weed cleaning, and tree pruning.

i needed someone to clear the leaves from the lawn and do a final mowing for the season. i called Ted based on reviews on this site. He and his wife were a pleasure to deal with over the phone. They were clear about what work needed to be done and when they would be able to do it. i was not around during this period, so they came to the house and completed the work without ever meeting in person. The job was thorough and the price was reasonable.
Description of Work: I had Active Maitenance clear leaves from the yard, mow the lawn and clean the gutters.

Everything has been going really well. I have been using them since I bought my house in 1990. They are very professional and also clean up after themselves. I get billed by them periodically. I don’t dislike anything about them.
Description of Work: I use Active Maintenance for landscaping, yard work, leaf removal, house maintenance and so forth.
