A.D. Services LLC

This was our 3d year with Aaron and we will NOT work with him again. 2014 he started the summer without a full time job & was fairly reliable although on 2 occasions he invoiced us for work that he had not started - the first time we were away from home and paid via paypal - it was obvious the work had not been started - after contacting with him - he did complete the job days later - the second time he invoiced us before we saw the work we refused payment until we say the lawn mowed. He then got a full time job & lawn care became a sideline - his lack of response & his spotty appearance was truly frustrating. Spring of 2015 he contacted us & my wife gave him one last chance - with A.D.Services as his only work - he was reliable and responsive through out 2015 - although paying for weeding consisted of running a weed eater over the requested area. With our relative satisfaction from 2015 we employed him for the current season - again he has a full time day job and lawn care is again a sideline. My wife agreed to let him WEED and mulch in the front yard and paid $275 in advance (to buy supplies) in April - weeks went by and no start to the job - we threatened to reverse the payment and he started the job - then my wife expressed her concerns and feelings on the matter and he replied that he'd finish the job and then 'resign' - nearly 3 weeks later he finished the job - the job was completed poorly and he left a mess in the driveway. While generally the quality of his work was acceptable - this was certainly a poor job. Given our continued difficulties we will not be using Aaron's services and would not recommend him.

I contacted ad services to perform spring yard cleanup bush trimming and lawn rejuvenation. He came out and walked the property with us and provided a quote for $1600 which seemed a bit more than I wanted to pay, but I went ahead with it. After a week some of the leaves were raked and left in the yard in bags. The tree was trimmed, some yard debris hauled away and a few of the bushes trimmed. He then came back three weeks later and requested an additional 2200 to finish the initial job as well as add mulch. After going back and forth because I was unwilling to part with an additional 2200 when he hadn't demonstrarted he was capable of finishing the first phase, I told him the services were no longer required an I was not going to give more money for work when the work I'd already paid for had not been completed. Within a week he refunded 500 of the 1600 I'd paid him. Basically I paid 1100 for about 500 in work, if even that. My yard looked no better than it did before I hired him. I've since found another landscaper who will reseed the yard finish the cleanup and mulch for less than ADs first quoted price. I do not recommend to anyone. It was weeks worth of hassle and lost money, which is a shame because he came across as an Honest and hardworking gentleman. Hopefully my experience was just an anomaly.
