Bottom line? GET IT IN WRITING. I repeatedly complained throughout the summer that the guys weren't weed eating. The secretary got in touch with me, was very pleasant and assured me that she'd write on the work order for them to weed eat but it still wasn't happening. Probably because their first language is Spanish, as I'm fluent and that's what the workers told me. The final mow was in September and in October they billed me $105 stating that my agreement was not for $80 per month but for $40 every other Monday so since September had 3 Mondays the bill was higher. When I complained that my yard certainly was not mowed 3 times and the weeds had now grown extremely high they informed me that if i wanted them to remove weeds that would be extra. I said I certainly didn't feel like they did $105 worth of work, nor did they stick to the original agreement so I wouldn't be willing to pay more than half of that $105. I was told the owner would call me back and try to settle the dispute. Instead they just continued to repeatedly deduct and credit random amounts from any cards they had on file for me every few days until I canceled them.
Response from MILKIE'S LAWN & GARDEN CTR
"Yes, we schedule mowing on a rotation divisible by 7 (one week) so with a weekly or bi-weekly account occasionally there are going to be 3 times per month that serviced is rendered per 30/31 day invoice period. Mowing twice a month is not an option that we can schedule -but 14days intervals is. As far as referring to Spanish speaking people, I'm confused ... our staff are all local (native) English speaking people. She promised to send 50%, even though two of three cuttings would have been 66% of the invoice. She never paid any portion of the $115 balance due. Hmmm. Is there any truth to her story.????"

It's 30 dollars each time they remove snow from our driveway, which seems a little steep, but they do a good job and are prompt when it snows.

Milkies was easier to get in touch with than other Johnstown area landscaping companies that I tried to work with. Still communication was less than optimal when it came down to the details of the job. The workmen were very professional but did not seem to have the right work orders at first. The price for services was shockingly expensive and the actual cost ended up being 10 percent more than the estimate. Two weeks after the weed pulling, I was amazed at how many new sprouts were coming up and found that there was a significant amount of roots left in the ground. Overall it was a negative experience but then again I have yet to find a landscaping company in Jtown that is as professional and punctual.
Response from MILKIE'S LAWN & GARDEN CTR
"I do appreciate (Member name removed) comments. There was indeed confusion between my representative and (Member name removed) as to the scope of work he wanted to accept. His original request was for a much larger scope of work and was priced in more than 16 different catagories. The confusion came in what all he wanted to proceed with in the first phase and how much cost that represented. Their property is a maintenance nightmare without regular maintenance and it had been sometime since the beds were weeded. The returning weeds are not surpising. Once weeds and wild grass enter the crowded bedding and perennials area, you have no choice than to hand pull the weeds. With hard ground, you do your best to get the whole root but often times they break off instead. We understood that (Member name removed) was going to monitor the returning and new weed growth and treat with roundup as needed. (Member name removed) was a pleasure to work for and we would have no problem returning to do more work for them if requested. We do thank him for his patronage and hope he will be more satisfied if he chooses Milkie's the next time. George Milkie Owner, Manager"

He provides service year-round. He cuts my grass, rakes my leaves and plows snow on my two-acre land. He does a lot of specialized work for me.
