I used Ken’s years for the 2021 season. On one of their visits their crew damaged an electrical junction on the rear of the house that’s low to the ground. They also destroyed the cap for the heating oil fuel tank on the side of the yard. When I initially reached out to the business they were apologetic for the damages done by their crew and agreed to cover the repair costs. After finally receiving the estimate for repairs the owner refused to pay. From apologizing for the damage his crew had done and accepting responsibility he now accused me of lying. That I was simply trying to get free money off of him. The only reason he accepted responsibility was because he thought the damages were going to be less. That his crew actually didn’t do the damage and was preexisting. I would be very cautious using their service as they can not be trusted to not damage your property, but also not trusted to be a ethical business.

Every two weeks, the team shows up and does an excellent job in the work they do. Billing is easy and everyone is great that I've taken to. They have earned a loyal customer.

They always showed up on the scheduled day and mowed and edge trimmed my lawn. I felt the price was high at $45 per visit for the size of yard and time it took them to complete the work. I ended up terminating my service after they repeatedly mowed over my newly planted ground covers. They did offer to replace the plants but I was just ready to move on.

Most of the neighbors including ourselves are using Ken's. It's great. They're just doing lawn, they're not doing flower beds or anything like that. They're good, efficient, they come out when they said they were going to come out and like I said many of our neighbors are using the same service. When they come out, they're getting multiple lawns at once. It makes it very efficient for them.

It took some time to get set up because the response time was not quick, but once we got things going, everything worked out very well. They mow the yard at my rental and it looks very good. They have become more responsive when I call and I appreciate that. There are not that many details to share as I only have a postage stamp sized front yard, but the price seems fair, the work is good and they seem like good people.

They're a little pricier than the company I had before but their communication is very professional. The workmanship is outstanding. They do a really good job of not only the mowing, it's a bit cleaner. They're good.

They were arranged to come out while I was at work. By the time I got home everything was cleaned up and the yard looked great. Would definitely recommend them to others!
Response from KEN'S YARD SERVICE
"It was great to work with [members name]. He posted this review before receiving his bill. The bid was hard to nail down and so it was a bit high to make sure we could do a good job and make a profit. The job ended up being much easier that expected so we were able to charge less! Only about 2/3 of the original estimate. We obviously want to make a profit but also want to always be fair and treat customers how we would want to be treated! Julian-Owner of Ken's"

The job was done perfectly- and the crew asked before they cut anything since I had let things over-grow too much and the trimming needed was going to be significant. They did a superb job in this project and I will refer them to others. I usually mow my own lawn but thinking they could do it much better, and certainly quicker, too!

The fella who came out to make a bid was there almost immediately (and I think it may have been a Sunday!), and the work was completed that week. The actual cost was much lower than the original bid, which is always nice.
We plan on having them back this year for some spring yard clean-up.

They do a great job, the edging looks great and they create those nice stripes in my lawn. The come every 2 weeks and have automatic billing. For the size of my place I'm charged $30 per visit. Very affordable compared to other companies and they did a better job than the previous person.

The workers showed up and completed the job as promised. Additionally, they cleaned up all trimmings and debris.

My experience with them was OK until the lawn didn't need to be mowed every two weeks and I asked them to change to once a month. They were going to charge me $88 to come once a month and I discontinued all services with them.
Response from KEN'S YARD SERVICE
"Sometimes people want to skip mowings while the grass is still growing and then when we come back a month later and the lawn is twice as long they want us to do it for the regular service price. That doesn't seem fair to us. She gave us a bad grade on price but failed to mention that I came out and gave her a bid for some weeding and removal of a small tree. She agreed on the price and we did the work. The job was easier than expected and she was only charged about 60% of the original quote! That type of fairness in pricing seems to deserve a better grade than she gave. Maybe she forgot about that. I keep all the records so I have not forgotten. She is a very nice lady and was a good customer. I think it was all a misunderstanding. Sincerely Julian"
