I will give this business a neutral rating, just in case they have some very good reason (e.g., being in the hospital) to no longer show up at my house or respond to my phone calls.
My husband and I hired Schmidt Landscaping about 1.5 years ago, and we used their services until about one month ago. They were supposed to regularly cut our grass. Most of the time, they did show up and cut our grass, although the cutting could have been a little more thorough. For example, they sometimes left tall grass on the edges of the lawn or even an occasional "mohawk" of grass in the center of the lawn. I do greatly appreciate that they tolerated my swampy backyard while I was working with other companies to install drains.
We also hired Schmidt Landscaping to install river rock along the foundation of our house. The workers did not use landscape fabric, and they sprinkled the rocks so that the rocks were skimpy in certain sections. When I pointed out the skimpy sections, the workers huffed and puffed, made faces at me, and reluctantly sprinkled some more rocks. Afterward, they stood in front of my house for 4 hours to do nothing but smoke cigarettes, because their boss had left them to go clean gutters... Then they hauled away half of my rocks.
In early May 2022, Schmidt Landscaping stopped showing up to cut our grass. Our grass grew to be very tall. My husband and I do not own a lawnmower, so my husband used our weed wacker to cut the tallest sections of grass. After roughly one month of calling Schmidt and waiting for them to arrive, my husband and I decided to not use them anymore and to instead hire different company. read more
