"broker" running a hustle.
Do not use this service. He quoted me lawn service, took a one hundred dollar check, cashed it the same day and never came back to do my lawn. I called him every week for 4 weeks and all he did was give me excuses. One week the grass was too wet the next he was caught up in a big job the next he had a flat tire. Beware, Martin Giddens will take your money and run. He never returned my money. I have him ample time to return my money. He told me he was an LLC so there was nothing o could do to him to get it back. Little did he know LLC only means he had limited liability
Martin came in and cut the front shrubs down and away from the house. I had let things get out of control this summer. Added mulch around the shrubs. Also pressure washed the house, driveway and sidewalk plus the trim around the tower beds. Looks like an entirely different house and one I can't wait to decorate for Christmas.
I couldn’t be more pleased with the work! They started the project within a day of me contacting them, and did a fantastic job! They went above and beyond; cleared out debris in the yard, placed the sod in every corner and cut around the stones, moved and organized stones and cement slabs, and cleared out an overgrown area and re-planted the extra plants in another area and placed some much, which all looks fantastic. Communication was clear and prices were very fair. Highly recommended!!
DO NOT RECOMMEND! We booked them for some lawn work. They expressed desire to take on more than what we needed immediately, but they seemed to be knowledgeable over the phone and communicated quickly. We rearranged our schedules to meet them and have the work completed. They called to cancel the morning of because of family issues. We rescheduled for the next day at 8am. They called at 8am and delayed saying they would arrive by 930am. Then they called and said his partner was being flaky and causing delays, so they would be here by 1030am. My husband talked with the owner again at 10:10 and the owner would arrive BEFORE 10:30 and was on the way. We called again a little after 11 and told him we would be making other arrangements to have the work completed. He argued and said he would be arriving within a few minutes. We agreed to meet with him and see if we could reach an agreement. He arrived about 1130am, with no mask, social distancing, and smoking. They did not have their own equipment and spent our money on a deposit for renting equipment. We informed that we were disappointed and they had cost my husband two days of work. We asked for a refund and after much debate, they agreed. They drove away and arrived back within a few minutes. We compromised on them clearing the landscaping originally discussed, but without doing any preparation or landscaping. This amount of work would basically cover the amount of the rental equipment. They worked hard, but were definitely not professionals. They were smoking while working around a gas tank. Neither of the areas that were cleared were done so correctly. They have yet to return our money or respond to any of messages. I have quotes from two different licensed and insured companies for a lower price than what he ran off with.
Great work at a great price, they really took care of our lawn that was insanely long and unable to walk through. We will be using them from now on!
Hired them to level and mulch our front yard. They responded quickly, had an estimate to us quickly and had the job done in one afternoon. We are very pleased with the work and price.
Answered fast with a base price. Took care of details. Would recommend!
