McArdle Landscaping & Tree Service

He did the landscaping, cut our lawn a couple times, then fell off the face of the earth. The lawn started growing out of control, so I called and left a message. No response the next day, so I called again and left another message. No response the next day. Their number is a land line hooked up to an old school answering machine. No cell phone or text messaging. No communication whatsoever. Now the lawn is really long and it looks like I’ll need to dust off the lawn mower and cut it myself over the holiday weekend. Do not hire these guys to cut your lawn. Totally unreliable and the communication is absent.

They come out every two weeks. I have been using them for 20 years. They are all "A"s as far as I'm concerned. They do real well. Their price has always been competitive when I've checked it. I will continue to use them.

Chris is good at what he does. Since i have been a customer for years, I usually get a return phone call in the early evening within one business day.  Since he knows the property so well it was easy for him to give me an estimate which he met to the penny.  The work is done to a level of detail I would do myself (as though it were his own property).
Chris runs the business almost entirely himself.  As such, weather coupled with the demands of running his company, he is not always on schedule with things.  This project due to rain and unpredictable forecasts, coupled with juggling the business, took place several weeks later than we had planned.  To be fair, it wasn't urgent, and I told him as much, but it probably shouldn't have taken as many weeks to get to as it did.
Chris is by no means the least expensive in town, but in addition to doing good work, he takes good care of his employees in an industry where many cut corners.  I choose to pay the little bit extra knowing that he runs an honest business.
