I really don't like writing bad reviews on small business but I couldn't help myself after the experience I had with Jake from Honest Lawn Care. His business practices were aggravating to say the least.
I wanted him to come every other week for $65 a month. My yard isn't very big and should take very long to complete. All he had to do is mow the yard and weed wack around the edges. At first everything was ok. He would move my schedule around a little bit from a Wednesday to a Monday. He might not show up for 2-3 weeks but seem to make it on the scheduled days 75% of the time. The other percentage would be him not even giving me a text message to tell me he wouldn't be able to make for one excuse or another. He got lucky that our dogs were never outside on days he would show up unannounced. I'd leave the check under my door mat for him on his schedule days but he would forget it half the time.
The straw that broke the camels back was when he didn't show up for my service for almost a month. When I text him about it, he responded back:
("I'm sorry dan I meant to reach out sooner because of the summer time here I'm not doing the every two weekers anymore it just comes out to be too much work and it's harder on the equipment I'm sorry for the inconvenience and short notice")
I'm sorry but not a very professional way to tell someone 3 weeks after their last service that they are no longer going to help you. read more
