There is a lot of room for improvement in the area of communication re: I said do not weed eat my clover as I am converting the yard from grass to clover, did you damage this? No, it was like that? (100% no, it was not, I know it was not damaged before you mowed there) 4. They were a referral, and my friends did not understand why I was so annoyed until they had someone other than Larry do their lawn a few times and butchered it. I sang the "I told you so" song while dancing in front of them. 5. You may never have these issues, and if not, then I am happy for you. Just know that you can get your yard mowed better and for less. And yes, I am actually an expert in this field. You're welcome.

As an adult with a disability who also happens to be a homeowner, I thrive on being as independent…read moreas humanly possible. That said, I've learned the hard way that certain tasks are beyond my ability and mowing my nearly 1/2 acre lawn happens to be one of them. Trust me, I've tried. I've tried with a push mower. I'm already without feet and I had this weird feeling if I kept going that I'd eventually lose 1-2 more limbs. I tried with an old school manual-type mower. I broke it in one humiliating and failed attempt at mowing my lawn. I haven't tried it with a riding mower because, well, most require that you actually have feet to use the gas. I've gotten by through the generosity of friends and church members, though as I get older so do they and in the last couple of years it has become increasingly hard to track down folks who want to come over on a regular basis and mow my lawn. Last year, it got ugly. I think most of my friends were torn between "I'm tired of mowing Richard's lawn" and "I don't quite want to ask him to pay me to mow his lawn." So, the lawn got really, REALLY long before one dear neighbor complained (sarcasm noted) and my dear friends at the city served notice that perhaps I ought to mow it before it got taller than the house. Fortunately, in a critical pinch I had some friends come over and rescue me from the situation before it turned into an overly negative situation, but it finally made me look at how I'd been living from week-to-week in terms of lawn care for far too long. So, I set out to find someone who was honest, fair, reasonably priced and conscientious. Enter Larry Poe and HALL Services. The "HALL" stands for Handyman and Lawn Landscape Services. I used Thumbtack to put out for bids to mow my lawn and received several responses. The prices ranged from "so cheap that I don't trust the quality" to "beyond my reach." Poe was pretty much in the middle. I directly responded to three and found myself impressed with Poe's honesty, thoughtfulness, reasonable price and willingness to give a fairly clear schedule. I've now used HALL and Larry Poe for the entire mowing season and I've been consistently happy. From what I can gather, it's a small operation and he primarily focuses on the Eastside of Central Indiana but will consider other areas in the right situation. From what I've seen, he is careful to not overly commit himself and won't take a job he can't fulfill to the utmost quality. I happen to live in practically a perfect area for him to serve. HALL doesn't necessarily have all the razzle dazzle equipment of some companies, but what he offers in personalized service more than makes up for it. I received a timely quote, follow up on that quote, an agreed upon day with an awareness that it may flex from time to time, and a way to contact him with any concerns. He prefers to submit billing via e-mail, but will also invoice monthly. He does not ask for and actually will not do long-term contracts. He accepts payment by cash, checks and Paypal and from what I've seen typically bills within 24-48 hours of the last agreed upon service for the month. We agreed that my lawn would be mowed every other week. During one week, he missed due to some personal issues BUT he followed up with those impacted and explained everything and explained how he would be addressing it. Personally? I thought it was perfect and conscientious. The quality has been stellar on a consistent basis. I've never questioned if he would arrive and I've never seen a finished job and thought "I wish he would have done this." In fact, there's been more than once I thought "He did more than I expected" in terms of trimming, etc. I've only actually met him in person once this season and found him to be friendly and helpful. He also offers, as you might guess, handyman services ranging from fencing, decks, Christmas light installation and other services. From his website, it notes that he tends to avoid roofing type work. While I haven't used him for handyman type work so far, given how happy I've been with his care of my lawn I'm already considering other possible jobs. If you really want to hire someone trustworthy, local, truly indie and who does quality work I'd definitely recommend Larry Poe and HALL Services.

I read the reviews on Hoosier Lawn Pride and saw a couple of negative reviews. However, I like to…read moreform my own opinion about people or their business to determine if there is any truth to perceptions others arrived at for Hoosier Lawn Pride. Based on my own personal experience with Hoosier Lawn Pride, I would not recommend them at all for these simple facts and believe the other negative reviews have some merit: 1.) Hoosier Lawn pride never provided an estimate as they indicated they would. 2.) Their mastery with being dishonest is unsettling. I asked the owner Patrick Morris of Hoosier Pride if he or his business has a 3B - Turf management license from Purdue and told me "Yes". When in fact he (Patrick Morris) does not and has never received this license. The actual license status for Hoosier Lawn Pride or it's agent(s) was provided and confirmed by an uninterested third party at the time this review. The lack of a license explains why he sub-contracts out traditional lawn services like applying fertilizer, which was different from the explanation he provided in a meeting on the topic. If this license information is incorrect then please list and provide your 3B - Turf Management license number, license issuance date, license expiration date, and or 3B - Turf Management certification number. 3.) Hoosier Lawn Pride sub-contracts a large percentage of their business to another company, which was not disclosed to me until the meeting. I do not believe in middle man operations and usually they do not favor the consumer in the event of an issue or seeking relief for an issue due to convoluted nature of the arrangement. Had this been disclosed or outlined on any listing that states his services offered. I would have never contacted him for an estimate. In closing, do your own research on Hoosier Lawn Pride, it's affiliates, agents, and or it's sub contractors to see if they are a good fit for your lawn prior to hiring them. I am glad that I did and wish that I did more research prior to arranging a meeting for a free estimate. However, you can only make an informed decision based on what is disclosed or what reviews are posted. In closing, based on my research, the other negative reviews for Hoosier Lawn Pride, failure to disclose information, and his (Patrick Morris) dishonesty it's a easy decision for me to avoid Hoosier Lawn Pride even without receiving an estimate.

I wanted a complete new look for the front of my house and mulch on the other 3 sides. When I called the owner he said he would be at my house that evening about 7:00 to review the scope of work and measure how much mulch was needed. He was right on time. He told me the estimate would be sent the next day, which is exactly what he did. The estimate came in a lot lower than others I had contacted. The work was completed on the day we had scheduled and it was exactly what I wanted. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I asked if he did fall clean up of the landscaping and he said yes and put me in his calendar to reach out to me end of October or early November to see if I still would like for him to complete to the service. I highly recommend this company and will continue to use them.
