Lawn Maintenance and snow removal

We hired this company at first in 2014. We were pretty satisfied with their work in the first year, usually on time and did a good job with the snow removal. As for the lawn maintenance quite disappointing. Judging on how our lawn looks this year after two seasons with them i think we paid for nothing. Above that the aeration process was very interesting, that day our yard looked like after a war. Chunks of dried dirt bigger than a wine bottle cap covering the entire yard, a hazard for our little kid who runs around. We took pictures and had to clean those ourselves in one Large black garbage bag because they said it is normal. That cost us a few hours of work and blisters on our hands. Either than that they cut the grass on time. So next year either we find another contractor or we do it ourselves.

Approximate cost of services:
$2,000.00

Company Response

I am very sorry if you were not prepared for your lawn to have the displaced soil plugs to be spread on your lawn, this is very typical and quite frankly if your lawn is not covered in soil plugs it only means your aeration was not done well. If the aeration is performed at the wrong time of year when the ground is hard or if there hasn't been rain for a while the plugs will be very small. Having good sized plugs removed from the lawn is a proper aeration and will give the best results. While it will be unsightly for a week or so the plugs will break down and act as a topdressing. We do our best to give great service and do clean up any solo plugs left on hard surfaces like driveways or patios.
