DEGREE LAWN & LANDSCAPING

Thank you so much !! I had heart surgery in July and was in able to work for many months .. looks great !! You guys our a life saver :-)

We've used three different lawn maintenance companies over the past five years and while our grass did get cut, we were never very impressed. The providers were unreliable (sometimes nearly two weeks between cuts), or they left big clods of grass laying on our lawn, they damaged our property (fence gate, and heat pump), or their billing was a mess etc. This Spring we decided to give Degree a chance, and our lawn and landscape are looking the best they have in the 20 years. There are two parts to our engagement with Degree. First, we contracted them to simply mow our grass on a regular basis. While the weather dictates when they can actually mow (and we have a steep hill to deal with), they have cut us on either Monday or Tuesday all of the 2018 season. Of course part of cutting the grass is edging, weed whacking, and cleaning up afterward, to which they do an excellent job. Our second engagement with Degree was we hired them to do a Spring cleanup of all our landscape beds which surround all sides of our home. This included putting down a pre-emergent, trimming shrubs, fertilizing, edging and mulching. Once agin, they did a very good job. If I did have a complaint on this, it would be that I thought they could have spread the mulch a little deeper. Then again, I only checked mulch depth in a couple of places. I did give Degree a B on pricing only because we are now paying slightly more than we have paid over the past five years. Then again, our lawn and landscape are looking better than ever, and we haven't had any of the issues we've had in the past with other providers. This is likely a case of 'you get what you pay for'!! Highly recommended!

The job was beautiful upon completion, and the staff was very professional. I will definitely go with this company for any future work needed.

It went very well. The work was done by a crew of four in about a half-day, and was done soon after my call to them to take advantage of seeding before winter. Cleanup was excellent. I was very pleased with the professionalism and quality of work, and will definitely have them do some additional landscaping that we will need done in the near future.

My experience overall went very well. They do a great job. They are great with the cleanup afterwards. The pricing is reasonable. The staff is very friendly and professional.

After receiving their bid and comparing it to the other bids we received, an email was sent to Shawn asking if could there was room for negotiation on the highest part of their bid. I explained there was quite a bit of difference in price and we would like to seriously consider them for the job. He responded immediately, stating and quot;they understood obtaining competitive bids for a job of this size was important and they could 'wiggle' a little bit on the price for the second part of the cleanup.and quot; He also inquired how far apart the numbers were, I stated the amount was $1,000.00. That was on June 27th. In the interim we signed the bid for the first part of the contract and faxed it to the company hoping to get the project underway. On July 9th I asked for proof of insurance and whether or not they were still interested in doing work at our residence as we had not heard from our fax or inquiry. I asked they contact us by July 11th with an answer or we would contract with another company. On the morning of July 12th I received an email stating it was from Shawn, and quot;apologizing for not getting back with us by July 11th. They appreciated our interest in their business but having the work broken down and only having them do one part of it didn't work for them from a business standpoint. We are extremely busy. We are unable to come down $1,000 to meet your competitive bids. We wish you the best in your horticultural endeavors--Shawn.and quot;
I'm sorry, we couldn't even respond to that email except with this review. In good faith we asked if they could negotiate, they responded they could and then 15 days later, sorry, we changed our minds and we're not going to do anything. This was very unprofessionable. Needless to say we will not be calling this company for any of our landscaping needs nor would we recommend them to friends.

The experience was exceptional. They have good communication with their clients. They respond in a reasonable time and gave me plenty of advanced notice of when they were coming so we could secure our dogs indoors.
The crew of four included Shawn, who is a certified arborist/horticulturist. The crew worked in sweltering humidity and heat, yet were thorough and cared for our trees as if they were their own. Shawn is well-educated on all of the specimens in the yard (genus/species) and can identify pests and growth issues very specifically.
We ultimately hired them for a year-round maintenance of all of our trees which will include a summer, fall and spring pruning and specific care for each type of tree we have. I am really pleased with their level of knowledge and respect they have for their client's needs. They seem passionate about what they are doing.

I had previously used Scott's Lawn Service. They had irritated me beyond comment. When I talked to Jack and was given their estimate for normal yard maintenance and treatments I was at first shocked. Their estimate was 1/2 of what Scott's had been charging. Degree has been doing my yard for the past 2 years. I could not be happier.

They are a wonderful company to deal with.  They fertilize my lawn and kill the weeds.  After fighting the weeds for
11 years I called them and within 3 months there were no weeds in my
yard.  When I've called them on the phone they are always pleasant and
easy to work with.  They have even ordered special flea spray for my
yard so my dog doesn't get fleas.  Whenever my lawn mower is broken, I
ask them to mow for me and they are out in a couple of days.  They never
leave a mess.

services have been great. I have been using Degree for at least 8 years.
