The project included removing old stone and brick formations, laying down completely new sod in areas of the lawn that were in terrible shape, and carefully rebuilding some of the stone and brick edging that I wanted to keep. From start to finish, the entire process was completely seamless. The team arrived right on time, worked incredibly hard, and did a fantastic job with the transformation. Their pricing remains very fair, and their communication throughout this large project was excellent. It is clear they care about customer service and high-quality work, whether it is routine maintenance or a major renovation. I highly recommend them!

By 8:30 am the next day they were out to inspect and reconfigure the area that they colaborated on together that looked great.

The first year they overcharged the time they were here, and after a couple of months of calling, adjusted the price to the one hour they were actually here doing work. This year they charged the same amount so I assumed they overcharged the time they worked. Wrong! They reported that there were 3 men doing one hour of work. Both years I kept track of time spent and men present and this past year I had one hour of work done by 2 men. If you hire this company, be present for the work, record time and maybe take a picture of how many people are working (even though that's creepy). This year is our last year of working with Groundskeeper.

They mixed up the houses, came to ours spraying weed killer on our fresh and still growing lawn killing the good grass too. Once I confronted the employee he stopped immediately, but he told me that the grass will start dying within the next two weeks. As you can see in the pictures the grass and the whole trail where the weed killer was sprayed is already turning yellow and it's only been two days. We spoke on the phone with Rick the owner of the company how can we resolve this huge problem, as our current landscaping service declined to carry responsibility for the ruined grass, which totally makes sense. He said he would come to our house the next day on our agreed time to talk to us saying he would make things right. He never showed up and never answered his cell phone. I left him a voicemail saying I was disappointed with him, I felt like he disrespected us and that the lawyer will contact him soon. Also, told him that he wasn't allowed on our property. The next morning he showed up around 9am uninvited telling us what he will do. He basically dictated his plans and what was convenient for him. He changed the whole story of what he promised us on the day of the mix up he would do, including the reimbursement of water bills for watering the grass in the past 2months. He said he'll patch it here and there and will only cover the water bill for the work he has done. We slammed the door to his face yelling to leave our property immediately. Guys, there are plenty of good, accountable and responsible landscaping companies out there. Be wise and read the review. Rick, is dishonest (told us he fell asleep on the couch, that's why he didn't show up to the meeting) how responsible is he? He doesn't care, he's a liar and very manipulative if he doesn't get it his way. We felt like he mistreated us because of his money power, but there will be consequences. We are not the people who just going to let it slide like that. Bernardins Landscaping is not the company you want to work with!

Review of John Russel / "All Done Handyman"…read more I want to warn anyone considering hiring John Russel. My experience with him was a complete nightmare, and I believe he is a fraud. I first reached out to John for a quote on redoing my deck (flooring, railings, and stairs). At the time, it was hard to even find someone willing to quote, so when a friend referred him, I gave him a call. He showed up within ten minutes, looked at my old deck, and promised me a quote. He also sent me photos of other deck jobs he claimed to have done, which made him seem legitimate. My wife and I even visited his home, met his wife and dogs, and discussed a plan. The arrangement was that I would pay for the material, and he would handle the labor. A few days later, he called saying he had a vendor in Michigan with composite decking. He sent photos, and while my wife and I had already chosen a color elsewhere, he pushed for us to buy through his contact. He convinced us to buy far more material than needed, saying the extra could be used as skirting. I trusted him, wrote him a check for the material and labor deposit, and kept asking him for a written contract to confirm the labor price, which he did provide much later. He told me the job would take four days. When work started, he showed up with only one helper instead of the "crew" he promised. Demolition alone took 2.5 days. Then he disappeared for several days before coming back. His work process was erratic--jumping from one section of the deck to another, leaving things unfinished. When I questioned him, he laughed and said he had ADHD. That was the first red flag. The railings were a disaster. He hacked the posts and cut the caps crooked with a Sawzall, leaving them looking terrible. I told him they needed to be redone. He ended up having to buy replacement pieces he said he didn't have the right size saw blade? . He also failed to install bottom supports correctly because he didn't leave enough clearance. When I asked him too install them he put them in crooked and again hacked the materials By week six, with the project nowhere near done (maybe 60% complete), he asked me for more money. Despite already being about 85% paid, he pressured me for another $3,000, claiming he had car problems. I told him I didn't care about his personal issues, I just wanted the job finished. I paid him anyway, hoping it would push him to complete the work. Instead, that was the last time I ever saw or had any communication with him. He stopped answering calls and texts. Eventually, he sent two other men to throw on some skirting, but the stairs and several key pieces of the deck were never finished. His workmanship was sloppy, unprofessional, and dishonest. I had to finish the project myself and fix many of his mistakes. I am now pursuing a small claims case against him and filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. "All Done Handyman" is nothing but a joke. Save yourself the stress and money--stay far away from John Russel.
