Well they lost my business forever today. Tried to buy a bag of potting soil. With tax it came to…read more$9.45. The lady at the register with a hint of attitude bluntly told me they did not accept credit cards for purchases less than $10. I offered to give her the 55 cents in change as I had just enough cash in my wallet to pay my cleaning service and did not fancy another trip to the bank. She said no, sorry. All the while to middle aged men sat at desks behind her and said nothing. If they are nickel and diming retail purchasrs over credit card transactions like some small mom and pop convenience store, just imagine what fun they must be to deal with when they manage your property! Well, besides the fact that it is forbidden in their contract with MasterCard and Visa to require any minimum, and that Discover only allows minimums if applied to all cards accepted, apparently they have zero sense for business. They offended me. I will not be coming back to buy plants or soil or mulch. As we own a property in Saint Michaels and have a $15,000 annual maintenance contract with another outfit, and we regularly perform upgrades each year, they sure shot themselves in the foot with me. But I am sure my current landscaper is thrilled to know I won't have another contractor to bid them against. What an incredibly stupid business practice in an area of second homes with big landscapes people don't have time to tend to themselves. And just in case they are not as clueless as they appeared and happen to read this: Minding the minimum Visa says its bylaws clearly state that merchants must not establish a minimum transaction amount. That's done, "To protect Visa cardholders so they can expect to use their cards anywhere, anyhow and anytime Visa is accepted," says a spokesman. "If Visa finds out about a violation, Visa will issue an enforcement letter to the acquiring bank that enables the merchant to accept the card. It's up to the acquirer as to how to deal with the merchant." MasterCard is also emphatic about dealing with violations although MasterCard deals with them directly. What you do the next time you're told there's a minimum to use a credit card probably depends on how you feel about the issue. If you're sympathetic toward the merchant's plight you'll save the card for bigger purchases. On the other hand, if you're trying to rack up every cent on your credit card for more frequent flier miles, you might rustle up your best steely eyed gaze and say, "That's not allowed." If you'd rather complain with less fanfare, write to Visa at askvisacorporate@visa.com. MasterCard complaints will be accepted at 1-800-300-3069. So I will report them and never have anything to do with them again.

Colin McHale is highly responsive and professional, knows his stuff, stays on top of all issues, and is a pleasure to work with. A real pro. My go-to person on a significant series of landscaping projects, and critical to the relationship. His Dad Steve (nine relatives work in the company -- no wonder they take such pride in doing the job well) was extremely helpful in design and with subtlety convincing us what was salvageable, and what was not, when we recently purchased a waterfront home in the Saint Michaels corridor which had, at least regarding the landscaping, been neglected the last couple years. Excellent job. David Green, Samantha, Omar -- all exceptionally good managers and foremen. Very responsive after the recent hurricane Isaias created havoc -- out the next day re-staking, staking, replanting, cleaning up. Fantastic response. We give McHale Landscape -- and Colin McHale our highest rating. If we could give more than five stars, we would.

They were also very quick to provide an estimate, start and finish the work, and the cost - even after a miscommunication on my part stayed on budget.
