Plants trimmed and shaped, weeding, mowing
Horrible! I paid 325.00 to have my overgrown back yard weeded, trimmed, mowed and for the out of control plants to be nicely shaped. I live on a zero lot line so my yard is pretty tiny. I was working from home when they came and when I finished my work and went outside I was shocked. Before they started the job it was discussed in detail just how much to cut etc.. But when I went outside I was speechless. The roses needed to be trimmed- but they were hacked and the remaining branches had not one single green leaf left on them (not to mention all the blooms were gone). The other flowering plants- the same. All flowers in the entire yard - gone. All green leaves also gone and only brown haphazardly cut twigs remained. The star jasmine was ripped out entirely and gone also was the ivy ground cover. The river rock pebble ground cover was also gone entirely from the sections where it had been. The mulch was also gone. Paver stones were for some reason picked up from where they originally were and were literally thrown here and there on the concrete and on the grass. They left garbage, a plastic soda bottle and debris from what they had cut all over the yard. Planter pots were overturned and thrown in the corner on their side. The fence gate was also left propped open with more paver stones that they picked up from the walkway going into the backyard and they never put them back and never even closed the gate. There was more garbage left by the gate from what seems to have been someone’s lunch. When I asked the owner what happened he just shrugged and said “it will grow back”. I was speechless. They also trimmed the very small area right in front of my porch. It was better than the back and at first I thought it was ok at first. But after they left I saw more garbage and LOTS of debris from what they cut that they just left in the flower beds and never cleaned up. I’ve had wonderful luck with everyone in the past that I’ve hred from Angie’s list. But not this time. Now in addition to what I’ve paid already, I will also need to purchase new garden soil, top soil, river rock gravel levels, mulch, 2 rose bushes, star jasmine and ivy. I’m hoping that some of the other plants will come back but I may need to replace even more. If anyone is thinking about hiring this company, you might want to seriously reconsider.
