Hydro Pro Pressure Washing

They arrived on time and did an excellent job.  From now on, they will be my 'go to' guys.

Before the work was done I contacted the owner and specifically asked if the materials used to do the cleaning would injure the plants, shrubbery, and grass around the house.  I was advised that it was a mild solution that is thoroughly rinsed off and would not affect them.  The plants and shrubbery do not appear to be affected, but the grass was.  Several days later I, and my neighbors, noticed that just about every place where the cleaning hoses were placed throughout the lawn areas the grass had been killed.  In addition, apparently when they removed the hose-end wands they laid or allowed them to drain on the grass and completely killed a 2x4 foot area of grass.  I believe they may have used a cleaning product with bleach in it as my wife noticed an odor of bleach as they were cleaning.  Overall the cleaning of the house and walks was good, but I would not use the provider again. 

I sent an email to the owner, using his website, but have not heard back.

I  was told by the owner that the cleaning solution that Hydro Pro used would not harm my extensive landscaping and gardens.  However, this morning I found all the leaves and flowers dropping off of the plants surrounding the house.  Some of these plantings are rare specimens that I value highly.  I spend a lot of time on my landscaping and was very proud of the appearance of my gardens which have been featured for garden clubs and the newspaper.  I hope that no one else has to suffer from this loss.  I have had pressure washing in the past where tarps were placed over the plantings.  So far, I have had no response to my phone call.  However, I should have paid attention when one of the men mentioned that replacing plants could get expensive as he moved one of my pots on the porch.  The check was returned to me, but no amount of money can make up for the years I spent growing these trees and plants.
