Motor City Landscape Service has done the landscaping for my condo complex since 2022. They do a decent job with the grass and snow removal, but they DON'T KNOW HOW TO TRIM BUSHES!
All of our bushes have looked like utter SHIT for the last four years. The owner's excuse the first year was that he had a new crew that he hadn't been able to train yet. No one from our HOA's Board seems to have confronted him about the fact that the guys should be trained by now. The pictures included were taken 5 days after bushes were trimmed. They are all different shapes and sizes and only about 2 inches were trimmed when the bushes should have been cut to HALF that size. They are scraggly and many are half dead because they need to be cut much, much smaller to make them fill out. The juniper hedges were only trimmed about an inch. They are sloppy and wavy, and the ends overflow onto our patios. MESSY, TERRIBLE WORK!
I don't know how they can walk away from freshly cut bushes that are still blocking windows and AC units and think they've done a good job. I'm so sick of how this place looks which I why I'm finally leaving this review on both Yelp and Google.
These guys usually show up on Wed or Thur, which are our trash days, making that schedule an inexplicable choice seeing as they have to work around trash bags and bins. But sometimes they come on a random day. Sometimes the guys choose to take their break on my porch - also a weird choice because my camera alerts are going off, and it feels awkward knowing they're right there smoking and taking phone calls.
If any of you are confronted with the option of living with an HOA, run the other way!!! A Homeowner's Association means that a few of your inexperienced, idiot neighbors are deciding how to spend your money. They make choices that primarily only benefit themselves, and you're stuck with a trashy landscape (amongst other sucks). read more
