We had an overall positive relationship with Chris for about 5 years of mowing maintenance.
We were originally drawn to the business because Chris hired students from Williamson Trade School, and my family has long supported the school, including my grandfather giving horticulture classes and hosting student visits to his holly orchard, all as volunteer work when he retired from his business career. It was really great having the students get real life experience before branching out to their own landscaping companies. Chris had great guys for the first couple of seasons, who did beautiful work and even replaced a portion of our fence when they accidentally caused damage.
The next batch of students were a little less cut out for landscaping, but Chris was helpful in resolving any issues we had.
After the first few years, Chris hired Spanish-speaking landscapers which is very standard for every lawn company in my area. The new crew was efficient and did very good work. I let them know I speak Spanish and that helped with any needed communication.
This past year we stopped services due to a major overhaul to our property, clearing 1.5 acres of invasive trees/wooded land, and the combination of price adjustment for inflation with our lawn size doubling was too much for now on top of major expenses for construction and other projects to cultivate the new area.
We hope to return to Chris and The Tradesmen in the future. read more
