Nick and his crew from Avid were with us for five-plus days, chipping, grinding stumps, fishing widow-makers out of the treetops, lightening crowns of the oldest trees to lessen wind resistance, thinning out dead and unhealthy trees, cutting the downed wood into firewood-size chunks for us. And all the while they were cheerful, considerate, a pleasure to have around, showed up when they said they would, did what they said they were going to, and every day made sure before they left that we were happy with what they'd gotten done. If only all businesses operated the way Avid does. Nick and his team earned every compliment I can give them and are really nice people to boot.

Highly recommended! From the initial free estimate all the…read moreway through to completing the task, John was professional, respectful, and efficient. Even though this was not a big job, he treated it seriously. The main task was to prune 2 ornamental plums (older than 10 yrs), esp to trim branches away from overhead wires and clean up the inside branches a bit. I had my own ideas of what was needed. John talked me through it & made well-informed suggestions about shaping the trees over time. We quickly came to an agreed plan. I then asked him to add on 2 single tasks: removal of a dead tree next to a privacy fence, and sucker pruning for an elder apple tree. His technical knowledge about plant species, their growth habits and use in landscaping helped a lot. Although I don't know a lot about ornamentals and landscaping, I do have degrees in plant science and horticulture. I recognized his technical expertise, and was glad he was able to talk with me so easily. On the business side, John gave me a written estimate at the end of his first assessment visit. For the actual work, John came at the time promised and finished the work - including clean up - in half a day. The charges were well within the estimate. No muss, no fuss. I highly recommend Mossback Arboriculture, and would call them for help again. I wish I had taken before and after photos to share!

My wife was home when the work was done and told me she thought he used all hand tools as she heard nothing during the trimming. Turns out the neighborhood was quiet during his half day of work because Nick Ridgeway (owner/operator) used cordless electric hedge shears to get the basic shape. Did some research and these trimmers are powerful, but really quiet. Neighbors appreciated that feature I'm sure. Nick then fine-tuned the hedge with standard hand-held shears and finished it off with precision detailing by using hand pruners. Does anybody put that kind of effort into this type of work anymore? Not likely. The bottom line is the hedge has never looked better; didn't pollute the air with fuel or noise pollution and didn't cost me an arm and a leg to do it. Also have to say that Nick is conscientious and spot on when it comes to returning calls, getting you the bid and performing the work within a reasonable time frame. Can't say enough good things about Nick and his Clean Air Lawn service. Do yourself a favor and check this guy out if you need any type of lawn & yard services. Your eyes, ears and overall health won't be sorry.

RT Total Lawn Care is a misnomer as they do a lot more than lawn care. They are a "we'll do…read moreanything" type of business. In my case, it was construction. I am very satisfied with their work and plan to contact them again for my next construction project. My project was to demolish and rebuild the external, entry stairs for my front porch and to demolish a large deck and build a balcony with staircase to replace it. I have attached pictures. The finished product was spot on to what he and I had discussed and was (most importantly) wife approved. Rafael serves as the foreman, and his crew of two performed the job. The project was completed in 4 days (more quickly than planned). They used excellent materials and recycled wood from the previous structures wherever possible and appropriate. I really appreciate his eye for sustainability. His crew was rarely idle and worked continuously without watching their cell phones. His bid was about 2/3s of the next lowest bid. My only criticism was that the job site was not cleaned completely (95% clean) and some tire mark damage to my lawn was not repaired. I discovered some of this after the crew had left. This is no big deal. Rafael is very particular about customer satisfaction and strives to make sure you are happy before final payment is made. If there is a problem, he assures you even after completion that he will return to make it right.

To be specific - RT Total Lawn Care's pricing was competitive (not necessarily the cheapest nor the highest), very responsive (scheduled and showed up next day to provide me with a written estimate), started work on-time one day later, his team worked the weekend too (I needed to get the job done before a specific date), they didn't simply put new Trex decking onto any discovered structural issues - but they corrected them and reinforced them.   As I posted previously -- I'd highly recommend and consider using RT Total Lawn Care again.  But now I do so for most home remodeling, decking, fencing, new/repair and yard care services.

At first I had high hopes because he was very responsive and made an effort to get out to give us an estimate quickly. Unfortunately, that was the only part of our experience that was positive. He did a very sloppy job during our yard clean up and then refused to take any responsibility for it. They left many things completely unfinished and are clearly incapable of doing proper pruning. On the day he was done he left without checking in with either of us and sent me a text with the bill total. I went out to check out the work that was done to discover uneven mulch that was spilled and scattered all over the lawn, they even completely covered my vinca and mulched around a pot rather than move it first. In one spot they actually burried a hose that was laying on the ground! There was debris, gravel, mulch, and leaves all over our driveway and lawn. The bed in front of our house that our hedges are in had no mulch at all! Grass was left tangled in bushes that had been weed eaten around. My poor California Lilac shrub was mutilated and will have to be re-pruned. We had them cleanup the base of an old cedar stump and there was a blackberry and pile of straw still left there. They even had to use our two wheelbarrows because he forgot his and then they left them filthy without rising them off. It was the most half assed job I've ever seen! I could go on..... When I let him know how unacceptable all of this was and that I was not happy with the job they did he proceeded to blame it on us for failing to micromanage him better and offered to come out to fix it for more money! My husband told him that if he wanted to get paid he needed to come out and clean up the mess first. I really didn't want to even have him come back out after the unbelievably awful job they did the first time around but decided to give him an opportunity to make it right. The next day I went into town to get him cash for payment and when I returned Chris was here raking up some of the mulch and debris that was left on our lawn. I told him I appreciated him coming out to fix things and he then rudly asked me if I had his money! I tried to explain to him why I was so upset and all he had was endless excuses and repeatedly blamed us for his gross incompetence. All he did to "fix" things was sloppily throw some mulch on the beds and then left without saying anything to either of us after getting the payment. I called him to see why he took off without finishing and he insulted me and told me he didn't care at all about fixing it. I really regret not making him finish everything before handing him the money because now my husband and I are out in the yard, raking up piles of debris, evening out the mulch, pruning our shrubs, and cleaning up the huge mess he left in our breezeway. I left some of the pics but there was too much to even capture. For all of this we are now out $1600! Do yourself a favor and hire someone else!
