I had mowing service for about a month while my husband was deployed. Not only were they nearly a week late with the first mow, leaving my yard a jungle, but their quotes were incorrect. I was quoted $25 for spring clean up and I was charged $40. They claimed this was due to more work being required than initially thought. Maybe because my yard hadn't been mowed for two weeks, through no fault of my own? Also, the spring clean up was to include a hard edge around all flower beds. Not one of my flower beds, front or back yard, was hard edged. They also managed to mow down part of my rose bushes.
They also neglected to include the military discount with every billing. I'm not one to beg for a military discount, but hey, if you're going to offer it so I hire you over someone else, I'll take it. To not include in it every subsequent billing is careless at best or deceptive at worst.
They also mowed again after our contract was up and I had hired a replacement mower, and sent me the bill, but at least they comped it when I brought this to their attention. However, they apparently didn't fix it in the system, so I just got a paper bill in the mail stating my bill is over due.
Up until this point, I was annoyed, but not enough to write a review. Well, three screwed up bills later after only a month of service, I am sufficiently annoyed to write a review detailing my experience so that you might know what you're in for. Josiah was always plenty friendly on the phone and got the issues mostly dealt with, but they were issues that made me want to not work with this company any more.
EDIT:
After my review was posted here, Ashly (the Director of Business Development) did reach out to me to try to correct what was wrong. She offered to replace my damaged rose bush, but I declined as they are fairly large and any replacement would probably look worse than the current one that is missing a couple branches.
She did state the the "hard edge" included in the spring clean up is only around hard surfaces like sidewalk and driveways, not flower beds. I will still say I never had the "hard edge" done around these in my yard either, as I don't really consider weed whacking along the edges of the sidewalk "hard edging."
She sent out some coupons to apologize for my billing errors, but it still took this review to have the issue looked into. Hopefully they got it figured out so it doesn't affect other customers.
