First, I had trouble scheduling the service after purchasing the Big Deal. I received no response for weeks when I tried to schedule a date. I was eventually told that the project manager that told me to contact him to schedule quit and took several people with him. However, customers should have been made aware of this. Once we got this issue out of the way, I was finally able to schedule.
When I scheduled the service, I told the representative that I had several tall red tip photinias that needed to be trimmed. On the day of service, three men showed up and when I told them I wanted the photinias trimmed, they said they didn't have a ladder. I ended up providing the ladder. I was very impressed with the three men that showed up to work in that they were extremely nice and respectful. And frankly, it was nice to be able to communicate my landscape work needs without there being a language barrier, which is usually the case when it comes to landscaping work these days.
I would say that the quality of the work was fair to good. I had them plant some grass plugs and I am somewhat concerned because the plugs didn't appear to be placed too deeply in the ground. When I watered the plugs the next day, several of them came up out of the ground. Also, one of my flower beds was cleaned out, and it may have been cleaned out too well. I will not know until later, but it looks like some of my dormant flowers may have been cleared out.
I purchased 8 hours, but since it was 3 men, it was only 2.6 hours total and I had to purchase an additional 2 hours to get additional work done. That was an additional $300. However, I still had more work to be done and did not want to spend additional money beyond that that I had already spent.
- 4/19 - Purchase made along with suggested dates for service
- 4/20 - Provided acknowledge purchase and indicated they would get back to us when there were more people in our area
- 5/8 - Someone called to say someone would be in touch with us regarding scheduling an appointment
- 5/18 - Received email indicating they would be in our area on 5/26 to complete the mulch job
- 5/18 - Later in the day get email that they have had a cancellation and would be at our house to deliver the mulch. Responded back that I was not at home but my wife was, please discuss with her; provided her phone number
- 5/18 - in the pm evidently the crew showed up and talked to no one. They spread the mulch on about 1/2 the yard
- 5/19 - sent email to JBa asking what had happened and why someone had not contacted us before they left, as it appeared the job was unfinished.
- As of 5/31 have not heard back from anyone
Dissatisfaction - delayed service, last minute notification they were coming, no contact while here, left without talking to anyone, have not returned requests for information.
I did a rough estimate of what it would have cost me to cover the same area by myself with bags of hardwood mulch from Home Depot and I could probably have save myself $75-100. Basically this Angie's "Big Deal" was a loser for us.
