"The good: Jeff responded to my Angi's request within a day. We agreed on a time for him to come to my home to give me an estimate. He came out on time and gave me an estimate of $1175 to weed the landscaped parts of my property and spread 10 cubic yards of pine bark mulch. I've been mulching my own yard for the last decade plus, so I know exactly how much mulch costs. The quoted price was a little higher than what I was anticipating, but not unreasonably high. We scheduled a date for them to come out. The crew arrived on time and worked throughout their 3+ hours here. The not-so-good: Jeff's method of weeding is not to pull up weeds by their roots, but to mow them with his edger. I was not expecting this. So all the weeds are just going to grow back. Jeff also used his edger to mow an area in the backyard that was mostly ground-cover plantings and strawberry plants that we just beginning to form berries. There were also some weeds mixed in that area - I was expecting him to pull up the weeds, but instead he blitzed everything and covered the entire area with mulch. So now we have no strawberries and no ground cover in that area of the yard. I was upset about this and spoke to Jeff. He said that he thought the entire area was weeds and basically blamed me for not pointing out the strawberries and ground-cover plants when he came out to give me an estimate. He is right that I did not point these out at this time, but neither did I point out any of the other plantings that I did not wish to be destroyed (I have a fairly big yard with lots of plantings). The second issue that came up, which I was not expecting, is that about halfway through their time working, Jeff told me that he'd need 15 cubic yards of mulch to finish. As I said, I have been mulching my myself yard for the decade plus I've been living here, and I've always needed between 9 to 11 cubic yards (the number decreases as the ground-cover plantings spread). Last year I ordered and spread 9 cubic yards, but I actually needed 1 cubic yard more. I don't know why Jeff needed 50% more mulch. That increased the total price to $1400."
