I do not recommend at all. I paid $575 for two fall cleanups and our agreement was one to be done in November and the other after thanksgiving, which he states he would do twice. He did the first cleanup on the 11th of November, so on Thanksgiving there were leaves all over and it did not appear to be done... But that was okay with me because I figured he was coming back. I inquired about our agreement on December 5th and when he would be coming back. He then states to me that he came before thanksgiving, states he did it on the 26th but I literally had leaves all over and that wasn't the agreement. So now the snow is melting and it's reaching 54 degrees on both December 9th and 10th and I am going to be left with leaves still all over and still coming off the trees. And when I do tell him that there were leaves all Over check out his response in the screen shot that he did a large quantity and to compare it to the a "tiny" bit he left behind. So you admit to a poor job but feel that it's okay. Please look at my screenshots of our text messages. Very Dishonest. I do not recommend at all. read more

I have had terrible experiences with landscapers over the past several years. Two years ago a landscaper chopped two of my sidewalk lights in half with a trimmer and never said anything to me. That was just the worst part of several awful other things. I highly recommend Better Home & Yard Service from Suffern. It is owned and operated by a local Suffernite, Michael Jotso. Not only did he do what he said he was going to do and when he said he would do it, he did it perfectly at a reasonable price. Thank you Michael ! read more

I'm sure they do great work, but we never even had a chance to see what they can do for us. Nobody came to our house for our appointed time (which we had to clear other obligations for). And not a single form of communication was made afterward, even after we called, messaged, and emailed. Pretty disappointed. It's a shame too because we were looking forward to working with them after seeing their reviews. read more

I recently contacted Michael to come and do a spring clean up at my property. He reached right back out to me the next morning and scheduled time to meet right away. We then agreed on the work to be done, even suggesting some things I hadn't thought of that would really help our property! The work was then done the next day! I can't thank them enough and the work they did was outstanding. What I appreciated just as much as the quality of the work was the responsiveness on Michael and his team. I'd looked for landscapers in the past and you were lucky if one called you back, let alone taking care of you and your property right away like they did. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for Landscaping work on their property. We will be using them again for sure! read more

We had our whole front landscaping removed, redesigned and installed by Better Home and Yard Landscaping. The removal was quick, the design was awesome and the install was perfect. I would recommend Better Home and Yard Landscaping to anyone looking to transform your landscaping. We will be using them for the back landscaping next year. We have had neighbors comment on how great it looks. Thanks for the great work. read more

I already posted my review however it somehow disappeared from Yelp, so once again... Based on the positive reviews from Yelp I called for lawn sevice and receive a prompt reply. I accepted the proposal and signed the contract which included lawn cutting, chemicals, spring and fall clean up, etc. The spring clean up was completed, but two weeks later I was waiting for the first chemical application and contacted the company. I then received an email from Michael with the subject "termination of service" stating "As of now I am going to discontinue service on your property." The explanation was that his lawn mower is not capable of cutting my lawn due to the slope in the backyard. My 23 year old tractor was able to do this with no problem, however this "pro contractor" does not have equipment capable of cutting a lawn. He saw the property, did one cut and then quit. Now in the start of the season I need to find a lawn maintenance company with a real big boy lawn mower. Very unprofessional and lacking sufficient equipment to be in this business. Find a real company and won't leave you without service after taking the money. read more

The work Michael the owner and Jon did for us far exceeded our expectations. Michael worked so hard to complete the job quickly because he knew we where having a family celebration at our home. Michael worked with our budget and did a beautiful job. We will be using his company again this Fall. read more

I recently and gave these guys a call. Michael came to my residence right away, and we hashed out a plan for the yard-maintenance at my new house. He went over all my available options, all the while being very polite, professional, and flexible. These guys immediately showed up and did a great job! Very satisfied with the pricing and precision-work they do. I highly recommend them. read more

Michael was a pleasure to work with. He was reliable, responsible, pleasant, and an extremely hard worker. Our previous landscaper seemingly abandoned us, perhaps because the jobs were too small. Michael jumped right in and did a great job. We will call on him again! read more

Great work, nice attitude. Somehow Michael and I lost contact for which I'm sorry because I have work.
