I’ve used this service for two years and in the past he’s been responsive. Did lawn cleanup, tree removal, bed cleanup and lawn maintenance with good results. Unfortunately, this spring I’ve been ghosted. He had been prepaid and only mowed one time all season. No reply to texts, didn’t show up when promised, voicemail full. I just hired another company to do one time yard now as it is almost knee high yet Christian had been paid for services. Still hope he will contact me to resolve and then I will update review.

Owner gets workers to do the work and then refused to pay them. Forces workers to file claims with labor agency for their pay. highstrung, unprofessional owner. Poor communication skills. Foul language. Lousy equipment,mostly broken down. The skill and knowledge comes from the workers not owner.no respect or appreciation shown by owner.

COMPLETE DISASTER. He rescheduled several times so by the time he arrives the grass and weeds were completely overgrown. He left in the middle of the job after complaining about how hot it was. Even after providing him with water he said he needed “sugar drinks” so we gave him Mtn Dew. They left without finishing or telling us when they’d be back after filling my trash can with debris and leaving it in the middle of the yard. Texted me FOUR times for payment before coming back to complete the work two days later. After coming back to supposedly complete the work tried to charge me more than 3 times the originally quoted price!! They left the entire side of the yard with 2 foot weeds and thought they did a great job. What a circus. WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND.

Christian and his crew have been by far the best crew we've worked with at our house for so many reasons. We hired them to cut our overgrown yard (it got away from us this summer) and property, SO GLAD WE DID! Communication is key for us and we've been disappointed in the past by other trades that have come out and helped us on our property. Christian has been THE BEST when proactively communicating when, where and how much jobs will be. Payment is easy. Completed jobs look great. They're great at what they do! We are so relieved to have found his company and we'll continue to hire him and his crew on for more projects.

Christian and his company are a wonder. He’s helped us move a two bedroom apartment, take out fallen trees across our driveway, and provided exemplary care of our lawn and grounds there in Charlottesville. I owe Christian a strong debt of gratitude; he’s terrific!

Christian's Lawn Care did an excellent job weeding our slope and removing briers from Junipers on another slope. Not only was the work excellent, the owner was timely in responding to meeting and supplying a quote, and showing up for the job. It began to rain yet they stayed to complete the job. We value the respectful treatment of our property and a job done well at a reasonable price, and highly recommend this service.

Owner appears to have a lot going on right now. He provided a reasonable estimate and scheduled with me to do the work on multiple occasions, but then had other things come up. He returned my deposit when I found someone else to do the work.

January 22, 2024

Reached out to this company via their website to have some simple landscaping done. Never heard back from them. Waste of time reaching out!Guess we will go with a company that has time for the little projects as well as the big. Terrible way to do business by leaving the customer hanging.

Christian and his crew came to our rescue one snowy day and cleared our icy, hilly driveway, they took down an enormous broken tree limb that was threatening our home, and then rebuilt a deck that had been damaged. Christian and his capable crew are very professional, concerned first and foremost with our safety and satisfaction. I can t recommend them enough and look forward to calling on them for years to come.

I had an excellent experience dealing with them! From setting up service to paying them online, everything was made easy by their professionalism and business sense. I highly recommend them!

I was originally convinced by the good reviews to engage with Christians Lawn Care, however, my experience was ultimately very unpleasant. I encourage you to the read the critical reviews including this one, and to take them seriously before choosing this company. While the work started out well, I felt the owner was very disrespectful towards his staff and did not do a proper job, particularly with respect to blowing leaves and clearing debris. Moreover, I felt he demonstrated extreme unprofessionalism and did not show up when he said he would. He was also increasingly aggressive and rude towards me when I pointed out deficiencies in his work. I believe that many of these observations are consistent in other critical reviews.

I had used Christian for lawn care in the fall, but this time I needed snow removal for my long sloping driveway. My wife is disabled, and I can t take any chances on not getting up to the house. Christian enthusiastically agreed to come to the house on short notice and did a fine job of clearing and salting the driveway. I will use this service again for sure. Bob B.

We used this company to surprise our son who was out of town for 6 weeks. The job they did was exceptional and very detailed. We live over 5 hrs. away yet they trusted us to pay when the job was done. We watched videos of the job and Zelled the money to them. Super easy. I would recommend them.

Christian and Jorge took down a dead oak that was hanging over part of our house. We requested they fell it in a certain direction to avoid killing other trees and not hitting the house, of course. They put it exactly where we wanted it to go though it was leaning another way. It was a good price too. They are highly recommended if you need trees removed.

I was pleased with the tree removal service from Christian. I saw his Valpak coupon, called him on a Friday, he came out on Saturday, negotiated a great deal, and was back with his crew later that day to do the job. I would definitely call him again.

January 22, 2020

Based off all other reviews, I can see mine must not be the normal with Christians, but my experience turned out terrible. I rarely review but I think this story needs to be told. I talked to Christian about having a tree removed that had fallen during the ice storm(2/20/19). I didnt know the tree had fallen, because I wasnt at the property until Friday. I researched tree companies over the weekend, decided to call Christian Monday. I explained the circumstances to him about the tree, how it had fallen over on a private road, how someone had cut up part of it & left the debris that had fallen across the private road, and that the stump needed to be ground down & filled in from the roots coming out of the ground when it fell. I gave the address so that he could give an estimate sometime in the next days. He called during the following week to give the estimate after looking at the job. He said he would be out that upcoming weekend to do it. The price & expectations were reasonable. I agreed to do the work, and thought all was good. Fast forward to the weekend, he called Saturday and said that he was working on an Oak tree that was giving them trouble, he would be later in the day before he could get there. Later that day he called and said that they couldnt make it because that same tree was still an issue, they for sure would be out Sunday to my tree issue. I was skeptical about him coming out Sunday because it was calling for a lot of rain (3/3/19). He told me that his crew works in the rain and not to worry when I mentioned the rain. I thought, he has a lot of positive feed back on Google, Ill trust what he says! Sunday he calls, leaves a voicemail when I wasnt with my phone. He indicated that they wont be there that day and he needed to talk with me. I try to call back a couple of times. He sends a text that he is working on a tree and will call back. I text back and ask for them to at least get by and get the debris gone because the neighbors are wanting the road to cleared and theyre giving me hell. In my text explain that he can come back the next week and grind the stump. He calls back and asks if I have a few minutes, and says that he and his tree guy went there to look at the tree that morning, and there was no way they could do it for the price he quoted me. He would have to rent a stump grinder, and it wouldnt be until the next weekend before he could do it. He updated the quote over $500 more then the original quote. He acted as if he didnt know that I wanted the debris from whoever cut up the part that had fallen in the road removed, and that I also wanted the stump ground down. We had talked about this at length during the quoting process, a now he doesnt recall that? As I started to express my frustration(respectfully, no foul language) with the situation, and explain that the other neighbors that live on that road were giving me grief to get the debris partly blocking the road removed, refresh his memory of what expectations he set with me about the job the week before....he abruptly says he and the crew were working on a tree over the mountain in the rain & snow ,and it was on a power line. He then he starts discussing things about the job he was on with his crew talking over me talking and ignoring what I was trying to say. Once he comes back to our conversation he says If you can get a written estimate showing something for less we will do it. Sorry He then continues to yell back and fourth with his crew and says he has to go and hangs up. I sent a text afterward (respectful again) expressing my frustration with the situation and got out what I was trying to say over the phone via text. No answer, no response. Just left me hanging. Now I have to track down another tree crew, and wait how ever long that will take + plus the other neighbors on the road are aggravated that the tree is still in the way. The logs are too big for my saw and I dont have a chipper. So, while Im not out money, Im out time, have angry neighbors, and have to find another tree crew.

I will call him for help again, for sure. Thank you, Christian!

Christian and his work partner arrived at my house at 6 30 am and worked nonstop for 8 hours in hot weather. They sawed off tree limbs, dug up bushes, cleaned off my lower lot, and cleared out a ton of junk growth on my property. I couldnt recommend them more highly. Christian came the day I called, and they did the job a week later. They were fast and thorough and extremely reasonable. Top notch service.

I initially met the owner of Christians Lawn Care at a gas station before work one morning and asked if he would be willing to take care of my lawn. He offered his services for a VERY affordable price, gave me a schedule, and all the details I would need moving forward. When I got home that day, my lawn looked perfect and there was a business card in my door that said, Thanks! He followed up with a phone to make sure that I was happy with his work. I couldnt be more impressed. And, I couldnt have asked for more friendly, flexible, or professional service. If you live in Charlottesville and need lawn care, contact Christians first.

Christians Lawn Care is wonderful! Christian is professional, on-time, reasonably priced and goes above and beyond! Christian and his crew trimmed our bushes/trees, cleaned out our mulch beds and treated our home as if it were their own they were working on. At the end, Christian walked me around the property to review his teams work and asked if there was anything else he could do.
