I'm sorry to have to write this review. I need a regular lawn care service and I thought I had found my guy.
I have hired Miller Lawn Care & More for two jobs.
Job # 1: The first job was to mow (1) my lawn (which had gotten quite high since I've been physically unable to mow) & clean up the clippings; (2) trim 3 large bushes in front of the house; and (3) cut back the bamboo that was encroaching on the back deck and side of the house. He wanted $300, which I thought was okay since it was quite a lot of work. When I got home from the office the lawn and bushes were done fine, but barely a third of the bamboo had been cut and the cuttings were just left there. Nothing cleaned up. I contacted Joey and told him I didn't pay $300 for mowing and trimming and he needed to come back and finish the job. He said he would.
Job # 2: A week or so had passed and when asked when he was coming, Joey said he was tied up on a big job. We had to go out of town and the lawn needed mowing again, so I told Joey he could come by and mow while we were away, and finish with the bamboo. He said he would. When we got home I discovered that my front yard was horribly mangled and part of it hadn't even been touched. The front lawn has a small flat area and about a 20-degree slope up to the road, and so needs a walk-behind mower. Someone had tried to do the job with a riding mower, so there were tire tracks, as well as some areas where the turf had been scalped and others where the mower had missed the grass altogether.
That was about two weeks ago. Joey has yet to make good on either job. I contacted him several times and he said he was tied up on a big job (which sounded depressingly familiar). When I pressed him, he said if I was going to aggravate him I could find someone else.
So that's it. Two jobs, two second chances, and $375 down the dumper. And yes, I will be finding someone else. Joey comes on like a nice, sincere, motivated young man. Unfortunately his follow-through is atrocious, and I would not recommend Miller Lawn Care & More to anyone else. read more
