Three years ago we had Joe put in a Flagstone Patio for us costing $18,000. Within a year it already needed mending. After the second year, the material in between the stones was all coming out and weeds were growing up. After hesitation and negotiation, Joe came out and redid the material in between the stones however, we helped pay for the material. He must have used a similar material as the first time because this year most of it is also out and there are weeds growing up. We contacted Joe, and he finally came out to take a look. He was trying to come up with every excuse he could, including rain, improper drainage, and trees to make it OUR problem. First of all, we live in Rhode Island where it rains and secondly, we had a 5 foot drainage trench put in a year ago and we no longer have any drainage problems. My husband was speaking to Joe, but Joe is a hothead and he got mad and stomped off. He did call my husband back a few minutes later and said he was sorry and that he would hire somebody to do the project and pay for it. He then told us a day later that it would cost us $750 in materials and he would pay for the labor. After spending $18,000 on a patio we found this ridiculous. We asked for a copy of all the materials he needed that added up to $750 and he kept saying he would send it but he never did. Now our only recourse is to take Joe to small claims court. When Joe does a project, it might look lovely after completion but if you have any problems, Joe will not stand behind his work! We would never recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: We had Joe install a large flagstone patio
I contacted JFC Lawncare somewhere between Sept 30-Oct 2 and requested a quote for yardwork (trimming shrubs, planting shrubs, over seed lawn). Joe called me right back and scheduled an appt to come over to my house to look at the work. He told me that he would get back to me with a quote which he did. All of this went pretty smoothly. Joe told me he could start the project on October 13 and that he would come bye before hand to mark where the inground sprinklers were located. I agreed. On October 12 I called Joe to make sure he was still coming to start on Oct 13 and he returned my call with a text stating that he had sprained his ankle and would not be able to start my project and would call me to reschedule. I told him okay. On Oct 15 I texted and asked if he was still interested in doing the job, he said yes but that he had to stay off his foot for the rest of the week and if it would be okay to come on the 20th. I said okay and asked him to call me on Monday the 19th to confirm. He never called and never showed up. On Oct 22 he said he could do the work on Saturday Oct 24. At this point I decided not to go forward.
Description of Work: nothing Overall: Very unreliable. Says he's going to show and does not.

Description of Work: My back was sore so I called for a plow service for my 35' driveway. Joe was responsive, prompt, willing, helpful, and over-delivered on service without charging a penny more. Good guy, good service...

Joe is a hard worker and is very thoughtful and considerate. He seems like he will do almost anything associated with lawn work and snow plowing. His prices are reasonable and his work can be depended on. If not to your satisfaction , he will return and redo the work.

Awful!! He didn't finish and left a big pile of snow in front of our garage door. We could not get out. We are both seniors. I called him several times to come back. He never did. Awful service. Do not use him.

Description of Work: Awesome job. They responded quickly, they helped us out even though they were booked, they shoveled what they couldn't plow, and after all that they still gave us a reasonable price. :)
