Horrible Experience
This fall, I hired this company for leaf removal. For important context, my front, side and back lawns are professionally landscaped with a focus on native plants. While the leaf removal was scheduled for Sunday, the crew did not show up until Monday morning. There was little to no communication about the delay. The crew arrived Monday a little after 9am. A little while later I went outside to discover the crew had taken a weed wacker to more than 35 of my native grasses along with about 10 still flowering late blooming yarrow and some annual Verbana that had not yet gone to seed. I told the crew to stop and asked why they were doing what they were doing. They said I had ordered this service. I said I ordered "Yard Cleanup" which is described as removing leaves and smaller sticks and twigs. After some not great back and forth (including the crew saying, "we've been here for almost 30 minutes why didn't you come stop us before"), they cleaned up the mess they made (but not the damage) and removed the leaves. As soon as the crew left, I called the Plowz & Mowz help line. The person on the phone was very sympathetic and said "they should not have been cutting anything." I sent them follow up pictures of the damage and they promised to get back to me shortly. A couple of hours later, they called me back and offered $50 off my next service. FYI, this service cost me $467. I was stunned and said that's totally unacceptable. They asked for more pictures which I sent and they said management would get back to me by noon the next day. I also sent a text saying at a minimum I expect a full refund. Someone who I expect is in management named "Billy" texted me a little before noon the next day saying they needed more time to investigate but would get back to me shortly. I have heard nothing more from them. I texted them earlier this afternoon letting them know if I didn't hear back, I would be escalating to Better Business Bureau and social media.
