BRICKMAN GROUP

Brickman's webset talks about their quality work. They do have a reputation for doing good work... IF you're a large and lucrative client. If you're not, then they do not come on schedule, do not care about quality, and don't even live up to the terms of their landscaping contract. I know, because 2 years ago they took over landscape maintenance for our condo. In those 2 years, our landscaping has deteriorated radically. Their contract requires them to weed, which they do no do; when shrubs are trimmed, they don't even remove the cuttings, but allow them to lie on top of the bushes; although they may trim our shrubs, they never shape them; they blow leaves under our shrubs, not away from them, and the leaves are never removed; they are supposed to remove downed branches and storm debris, but they don't, etc, etc. etc. THEY ARE TERRIBLE and they have no pride in their work. Because they don't weed, some friends of mine and I went out and weeded a bed of daylilies ourselves this past weekend. Brickman showed up today and weed-whacked the lilies, for reasons that only they could say - and then left the dead lily leaves strewn around the flower bed! I have photos to prove everything I've reported here. I am not a member of the condo board - but if I were, Brickman would be fired immediately.
