When I say that they ?worked to contract,? it?s not meant to be a compliment. We paid a premium price for what we had hoped would be premium service. What we received instead was the minimum required by law. For example, when the contract read, ?A policing of the grounds for the removal of fallen branches & light litter from the lawn areas,? what that actually meant was that the crew would remove any branches that might interfere with their machinery. The ?lawn areas? did not include any of the areas where there were shrubs, flowers, or mulch. Picking up sticks in those areas would require an extra charge. Another example. When the contract read, ?Hand weeding will be done to keep weeds out of mulch beds,? that meant, ?if you don?t point it out, we don?t do it.? Or, when the contract read, ?The collection of leaves and removal from site,? that meant ?vacuum the leaves and dump them at the back of the yard.? There was no ?removal from site.? The contract read, ?In the event of damage...to property, the contractor will report the incident to the customer within (24) hours of such occurrence.? When our birdhouse was damaged by a collision with their equipment and the post severed from the ground, I witnessed a member of their crew trying to tamp the post back into the ground as though nothing had happened. The following day the owner of the business came with a posthole shovel and stuck what was remaining of the birdhouse post back into the ground. We were never compensated for the damage nor did we receive so much as an apology. At the end of the season we discovered that a significant patch of lawn had been worn bare and muddy by the mowing equipment repeatedly using the same path to reach the rear of our property. When we called this to the attention of the owner, Greg Schmitt, he immediately became defensive, argumentative, and, frankly, plain rude. He admitted to no responsibility, offered no apologies, and claimed to have met the terms of the contract. And yet the contract stated, ?The contractor will monitor the property for the duration of the contract and alert the customer of any adverse circumstances as to the general condition of the lawns or health of the living material in general.? This never happened. We discovered it ourselves and realized, too late, that we had misplaced our trust for a premium price. I?m hard pressed to be positive, but there are some good things to be said. The crew did come weekly, weather permitting, to cut the grass. They worked swiftly and efficiently, were always pleasant and polite when engaged. The mulching of the beds and garden area was done neatly and attractively. We have a fenced-in area for our pet and the crew was always careful about keeping the gates closed and properly secured. They were careful with their machinery around our vehicles in the driveway and never blew wet clippings onto our car. The walks and patio were always blown free of clippings and made presentable when the crew left. Mr. Schmitt was polite and personable as long you agreed with him. However, he refused to discuss or exchange anything in writing outside of the contract and demanded instead that all concerns be addressed orally. He was was unreceptive to criticism and would become belligerent if you disagreed with him. Overall? I?d say you can receive the same or better treatment without paying a premium price or having to deal with someone who seems only interested in ?working to contract? as he sees fit.

FAQs for lawn care projects in Timberlake, VA
Depending on the areas that a lawn care company specializes in, most companies offer a core set of services that usually include:
Check with local lawn care companies to confirm that they offer the services you’re looking for.
The average cost to mow a lawn is about $125, ranging between $50 and $200 per cutting, depending on yard size. Other cost factors include the shape of your lawn, accessibility, lawn health, type of grass, length of grass, and frequency of the mowing schedule. The cost to cut your grass will also vary depending on where you live. If your landscaper has to maneuver around obstacles or deal with hard to reach areas and steep slopes, this will likely increase your total mowing costs.
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
Landscaping costs around $3,500 but varies widely from $200 to $14,000. Factors that play a part in your final landscaping price tag include:
Location
Yard size
Project size
Materials
Land preparation
Type of landscaping
Considering so many factors, it’s not surprising that the overall costs can differ. A typical landscaping project is flower bed installation, which averages between $800 and $3,000. However, landscape lighting installation is a higher-end project, with a price tag of $2,000 to $6,000.
