"WE HAVE SENT THE ANGIE'S LIST CUSTOMER A NEW ESTIMATE THAT IS MORE IN LINE WITH THEIR SCOPE OF WORK. CW LANDCARE PROPOSES TO COMPLETE A ONE TIME SHRUB PRUNING AND COMPLETE LAWN SERVICE. (MOWING, WEED EATING & BLOWING) ALL DEBRIS WILL BE DISPOSED OF OFFSITE. TOTAL COST $400.00 Below is the email we sent the customer: I just read your review on Angie's List. I think I apologize is in order from our end. We where under the impression we needed to clean up the entire yard and from what I was told we must of grossly over estimated the amount of work and / or the overall scope of the job. Jud did send pictures of your house and landscape. From what I saw I estimated the following. We where proposing to spend two full days with a three man crew removing the leaves, pulling weeds, pruning all of the bushes, removing when dead bushes, re-edging the flower beds, mowing the lawn, weed eating, blowing. A full landscape cleanup and make-over. It sounds like you where just looking to get the bushes trimmed and also the lawn cut. The price for this service would of been around $400 to $500. I also did not know you wanted to set a date / time for us to come out to meet with you. We do setup meetings with people and I dropped the ball about offering that option. Our company does a lot of yard cleanups throughout the year so we usually just swing by and then send a price via email to complete the work. We take pride in our work and the reviews we receive from clients we do work for and also people we just meet. Once again I apologize for the misunderstandings and we will do better in the future."
They finished the job - hauling gravel from a carport, disposing of it, extending an existing irrigation system to that area and installing sod - in a single day, and they did an excellent job. When they encountered an issue with some concrete they found in the area, they let me know immediately and talked me through all the possible solutions and helped me find the best, most affordable fix. The lawn looks great.
At this point I was impressed, but what really struck me was how they followed up on the job afterwards. Scott, who installed the irrigation system, has been stopping by the house to check the moisture levels of the sod on a weekly basis and adjust the sprinklers as needed. Then a couple weeks after the sod installation I had a fence installed in the area, and the fencing crew trampled all over a section of the new sod, turning it into a muddy mess, despite my warnings. I was so upset, and Scott and Michael came to the rescue. They answered my frantic emails immediately, and right away Scott checked to make sure the irrigation system wasn't damaged. Now he's bringing his team by the house to fix the sod free of charge.
Between the quality of work done. the responsiveness, the follow-ups, and the EXCELLENT customer care, I am decidedly a lifetime Commonwealth Landcare customer.
As a satisfied customer I hired them again this spring for some additional trees in another section of our yard. Unfortunately, I was ambiguous when communicating the species I wanted when requesting the work and didn't realize it until after they were installed. Commonwealth Landcare worked with me to correct this and ensure my satisfaction.
How a company handles this type of situation is a true differentiator. The owner demonstrated customer care as a priority without question which clearly sets them apart from other companies I've hired. If you want to ensure that you'll get what you pay for and the job is done to your satisfaction then I highly recommend them.
This was a big deal purchase and they did an okay job. It seems to me I called them about a week after they came because I did not see any grass coming up. I called them out to see if they had actually planted some grass. They said they had and later on the grass did come up. We were not here when they came, but when we got back the guy came and they were responsive.
