    Hired this company over the phone in April 09 to aerate and fertilize my lawn. Our agreed upon price was $65 for front and back. His crew supposedly did some major service (unauthorized) and charged us well over $200. There was absolutely no reasoning with this guy. He yelled at my wife, he yelled at me and was abusive and threatening. Both he and his (un)able assistant claimed there was no way it was their mistake and threatened a law suit and more. I offered to split the difference of the disputed amount and he would not accept that. I contacted the Better Business B and they said he simply ignores them because everything they get on him is negative. The guy doesn't deserve your business. Look elsewhere.

    In April of 2009 i hired Gary's Lawn Service to blowout my sprinkler system to prepare my lawn for the summer. At this time we had been getting a lot of rain, so happen when his so-call sprinkler guy came. He informed me that i needed a value replaced. He charged me $80.00 bucks for the blowout and an additional $280.00 bucks for a value that i later found out cost $20.00 at Home Depot. Because i am a trusting person i assumed that it was working properly because after the repair he told me all was good and it is now working fine!!!!!! It was raining so there was no need to have it on. On Wednesday about three days later it had began to heat up with no rain, so i attempted to turn it on with no results. IT NEVER WORKED!!!!!!! I contacted Gary and he said that he would not be able to come back out until 5days later and it would be another $80.00 bucks and that it may cost more because something else could have gone wrong. Lets keep in mind that I NEVER USED IT FROM THE FIRST REPAIR THAT... Read more

    Ever seen Mickey Mou__ at work this is one job on my sprinkler system. I hired Gary Lawn's Service last year to blow-out the system, the work was improperly done cause when it came to starting it back up in the springs the backflow valve was busted. So, it was replace at a steep cost of close to $500.00, just to find out that the system still does not work. When I had it look at I found out the he had never check out the work properly. First he had never started the water because if he would had he would had found out that it is spaying all over the place where he replace the backflow valve, second he had turned off all the valve manually so they would work anyways, and third he tried to say it was the station timer and that works fine, and lastly he then said that the solenoids must be bad. Nothing is wrong with the system but the Mickey Mou__ work that he performed. I lost out on not only $500 for the loosely job but also on two days of work lost. I tried to call Gary to let him...

    2 crews came out, one for sprinkler and one for aeration. I caught one of the guys from the aeration crew pissing on the side of my house. NOT the rocks but the side of the house!!! The sprinkler guy called the owner after I called and left an angry voicemail and gave me a B.S. deal on a fertilizer treatment (done half assed by the aeration guy) and the owner finally called me about an hour or so after I left the message to mumble and stumble through an apology that included "I can't control what they do when they are away from the office". I will not be using this service again and would tell others to avoid it. At least google it and look at some of the other complaints. I should have gone with my gut and cancelled the appointment.

    Incomplete sprinkler blowout/check service and inferior quality of work: The service was to include inspecting and making sure all sprinkler head worked properly. I was told that everything was "just fine" even though I knew at least one sprinkler head was broken. He was at my property when I told the company this on the phone and he STILL failed to check it. He just left. Way over-priced: $100, when the going rate was around $35 from other companies. I was shocked, but paid it because he was rude in demanding it. I was not told how much it would cost before it was done. Failed to provide adequate advertised "free cover - $60 value": The cover was just a plastic garbage bag with some insulation under it and taped up. The bag failed to stay on the pipes for more than a couple months, it fell apart. I called a couple time and was always told that someone would get back to me, but nobody ever did.

    I had Gary's lawn service conduct a sprinkler shutdown and the following spring they came back to restart my sprinklers. At that time, I identified that due to their negligence my sprinkler system was damaged. On numberous occassions I attempted to contact Gary. No calls were ever returned. I filled two reports with dispute resolution companies who also did not receive a response from Gary. I strongly recommend doing additional research on this business before hiring them. Your local Better BB can provide a reliability report for you.
