Get matched with top lawn care fertilize or treatment pros in Mattoon, IL

"I think they fertilized the weeds instead of killing them off! They are coming out to re-treat the lawn and try to make it right."

"We interviewed 4 landscapers before settling on Paul Schwarz Nursery. I gave them a B for price because their pricing was right in the middle. Good price, but of course we all want to pay less. They have an A+ for everything else! And I guess they are worth every penny. Mike created a plan for working with our existing landscape to replace our crumbling retaining wall. He coordinated with the county for permits, which ended up being a laborious adventure, as our previous existing deck would not meet the current setback requirements. Mike was extremely creative and came up with an entirely new plan for us and in the end I am so happy that we ran into problems because what we have now is so much better than before. Their company has done a lot of lakeside work and knows more about the codes and requirements than the county probably does. <br /> Mike went out of his way to incorporate small details that will allow us to have flexibility and make changes down the road. For example: the patio that they installed abuts a screened in porch. This current porch is on the rickety side and Mike anticipated that one day we might want to make changes to it. He planned ahead for this by setting the raw edge of the patio stones up against the porch wall so that if we ever make changes to the porch or want to run the stone all the way to the house foundation, we can continue the stone pattern right through. This is not something that I would have thought of. <br /> Originally we had planned for the work to start in the later part of the summer last year, but because of unplanned setbacks by the county, we decided to delay our project until spring. Mike had taken photos of our garden last year and was able to use the photos to find all the perennials and dig them out to save them--they were still dormant when they started work this spring. Mike's appreciation and knowledge of plant/trees was one of the reasons I felt comfortable working with their company. <br /> The crew surprised us with thoughtful details like adding an electrical outlet and lights. The design of our new yard is completely transforming. We are able to use and enjoy every inch our our yard and I am amazed how I find myself pulled into the landscape like never before. I thank Mike for his creativity and attention to small details. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"We called for an estimate to have our yard dethached, plugged and slit-seeded. They told us that they did not de-thatch but the plugging would get rid of our brown thatch. We opted for them to go ahead and perform the service. We were mainly concerned about our back yard as this is where we spend most of our time. When they got here they were unable to get their plugging machine through our gate to the back yard. They went ahead and did the plugging in the front yard and slit seeded without letting us know that they were unable to plug the back. They knew that I was home but went ahead with the service and didn't say a word about being unable to get to the back. I had to call and tell them that they did not plug the back yard and he said that they could not get the machine through the gate. I told him that it would have been nice to know before they did the work because we would have opted not to have them do the work and call another company. He said that he would adjust the price. The treatment did not get rid of the brown thatch as he said it would. The slit-seeding was poorly done.. You could not see many slits in the ground.I don't think that the machine was set deep enough. We watered twice a day for two weeks and did not get hardly any new grass. We got the bill and he adjusted the price of the plugging but not enough. I would not recommend this lawn service company to anyone for slit-seeding. I feel like we really got a bad deal. and wasted $175.00. <br /> <br /> I received a response after submitting a letter of complaint with a full refund and a letter of apology. I feel a better about the conscience of <br /> this company. I had called and expressed my concerns vocally but felt like I received a better response from my written complaint. I will of course send a check for a lesser amount. I do not wish to waste their time for services. I feel like $100.00 would be a fair amount. They did aerate my front and side yard. I still do not feel like the slit seeding was done properly but I admire the character of the proprietor to make things right. This gesture does help bridge the gap."

"This gentleman lives in my neighborhood. After seeing his trailer with his business on the side, I called to get an estimate on mowing and yard cleanup, as well as gutter cleaning. His prices were reasonable and much less than one would pay from a bigger business. He is a small business with just himself and his son. They did my yard cleanup and mowed last summer, and have done my snow removal for two winters, although there was not much snow to remove this past winter. Every time I call for service they are pleasant ,professional, and willing to please. They are more than willing to accommodate my preferences in caring for my lawn and bushes. Therefore I have signed a contract with them for lawn care again this summer and had them clean up my yard and cleaning the gutters. The quality of work is excellent and they go over and above others I have employed in the past. My yard waste was hauled off and not left for me to dispose of. They also gave me a $25 dollar discount for referring a friend and they also give seniors a break on their fees if they sign a contract with them. I have used their service for nearly two years and have no complaints."
