They did fine. Sometimes it is so hard to understand him. We decided to discontinue him because we are just seeking other services. It was $35 per mowing.

My yard has many plants but has not been maintained for a while. I told Ron what I wanted to do and gave me an estimation. After the negotiation, his team jumped into the work immediately. They trimmed the bush/trees, removed and cleaned up a lot things. In the end, my yard looks nice again and my family really love it.

We hired Ron and his team to prepare our backyard for grass seed.  Ron came by for the estimate at a time that worked with my schedule.  He offered a very reasonable price.  Once the rain stopped, they came by and did a great job rototilling the ground and laying a smooth layer of topsoil. I could not be more pleased.  Ron and his team always leave the yard looking great.

I contacted Lee's General Landscaping by E-mail (via Angie"s List) along other similar contractors from Angie's list.  I hired Ron for the
job because he was the quickest to respond to my e-mail and then was able to fit me in his schedule the very next day.   Lawn now looks terrific and price was very fair as his crew did some additional yard clean up at no additional cost to me. As such, I was very satisfied with Lee's General Landscaping and will continue to employ them to mow and trim my front yard every two weeks from this point forward at a price of $70 per month.   

Overall I am satisfied. I wanted to tame and control my yard without elaborate plantings; something that will be relatively low maintenance for the future. Mr. Lee appeared energetic  and plain-spoken; I hired him without getting other bids because he looked like an honest, get-the-job done kind of guy. He was kind of cranky and gruff when I tried to discuss details of the work performed with him after the job was done, though.  The garden pruning was better than the last company I hired but not super impressive either. For this reason I give them a B.

UPDATE: 4/11/2015. Something is deeply wrong with this company. Two years later they send me a bill for $197. 28 with a form that says , We apologize for the delay in billing.  I'll say...a bill that arrives TWO YEARS LATE? I called but only received recorded voice mail message to inform them they have misbilled me for services I have never ordered or received.

They did good work. They were timely and they showed up did the work and left. I did not know they had even been there. They actually came earlier than was scheduled. He is flexible and easy to work with. My friends also, use him. I would recommend him.

I found Lee through his web site. I prefer to contact businesses via email if possible so we don't have to play phone tag. Lee was quite responsive this way. A team of guys came out for the cleanup. Lee was on site and asked me to inspect their work. I was able to request that a few more bushes and things be cut back, and they took care of it without any additional charge. After the initial cleanup, they returned to mow the lawn until I emailed that we no longer needed them due to the dry spell. The service immediately stopped. I will probably have them out again soon for a fall cleanup.

They do really good job. They are detailed.

Mr. Le responded quickly to my original inquiry (sent via his website). He showed up as promised to walk the yard and provided an estimate before leaving. Unfortunately we ended up rescheduling the start date several times but none of the delays were avoidable (delivery of materials not made on time; weather; and a trip on our part). We started roughly 10 days later than originally planned but still within our overall timeline.

As with any contracting job, it helps if the homeowner has a detailed list. We had our list, walked the grounds with Ron and were in complete agreement. Ron checked in over the course of the three days it took for the work - we made a few minor changes based on suggestions made by Ron - we're very happy with the 'course' changes.

At one point there were five or six people working in the yard. His team was pleasant and well-mannered, focused, and attentive to detail.  This was a hard, dirty job that required the use of wheel barrows for moving most of the gravel and the piles of debrie were moved via shovel and wheel barrow to preserve the surrounding plants. Ron and his team worked hard and were meticulous about clean-up.

Prior to Mr. Le, we had received estimates from three other companies. His was not the least expensive nor the most. Often, you pay for what you get and that was the case here. We got excellent value from a man who takes pride in his work and believes in doing the right thing. This is a man who does quality work.

One last note, many landscapers are commercial - apparently every bush needs to be pruned in either a sphere or block; Mr. Le actually took time to do asthetic cuts. The resultant pruning jobs have really enhanced the two trees he renovated. We will be using Mr. Le's services in the future.

Overall - my experiences with Mr. Lee have been great.  He is punctual and delivers what he promises.

It went real well.  They were able to get to our project very quickly and timely.  They also finished quickly and the results were as expected. 

Mr. Lee and his crew of three showed up to do the job. The crew worked hard and generally did a very good job with the weeding, mowing and edging. They were polite and hard-working.

After they left, I discovered that they didn't rake up all the gravel before laying the landscape fabric and putting more gravel on top, and there were even some big rocks left under the fabric. When I called Mr. Lee to discuss this, he was argumentative and his manner was very unprofessional. He spoke to me in a demeaning manner, and I decided against him coming back to look at the problem. I didn't want to deal with him again.

The low rating reflects Mr. Lee's reaction when I tried to discuss a problem with him. I did not get all that I paid for. 

I checked the list and found Lee's and another landscaper and called them both on a Sunday afternoon. Lee got back to me first thing Monday morning and came out to see the situation. The other guy never responded. I told Lee my budget and we quickly agreed on a price. Lee and two others started at 8am the next morning and were finished by noon. They brought every thing they needed on the first trip and took away all the refuse. My wife was thrilled to come home from work and see a fantastic looking new front lawn. We have always kept our landscape looking as good as we can but it has never looked this good. Several years ago I had a similar sized area re-sodded in the back yard (by another firm that I will never use again),and had to live with piles of sod and a large pile of topsoil partially blocking the sidewalk for over a week so I really appreciated Lee's quick and clean work. Wish I had found him 10 years ago!

He would come when I wasn't home so I wasn't able to discuss issues, such as weeds in the flower bed. I finally got him on the phone and he said that he would take care of it. He came twice a month and disregarded any request I made to get the weeds out. He put all the grass clippings in my yard waste bin, which I was responsible for. After two months I had to terminate the working relationship.
