I recently hired FJ Lawn Care and Snow Removal for the first time this winter, and I am extremely satisfied with their services. Despite the relatively mild winter in Minnesota, FJ's prompt and thorough snow removal left a lasting impression. From the beginning, FJ's team was responsive and attentive to any questions or concerns I had. As a first-time user of a snow removal service, I was unsure about the process, but their friendly and informative approach put me at ease. They patiently walked me through the entire procedure and addressed all my doubts, ensuring I felt comfortable with their services. When it came to snow removal, FJ demonstrated exceptional professionalism. They promptly cleared both my walkways and driveway, leaving no trace of snow behind. Their attention to detail was evident, and I appreciated their commitment to providing a complete job. Despite the limited amount of snowfall this season, FJ did not compromise on the quality of their work. What sets FJ Lawn Care and Snow Removal apart is their reliability. They were always on time, never leaving me waiting in uncertainty. Their punctuality and dedication to meeting their commitments were commendable. Based on my experience, I wholeheartedly recommend FJ Lawn Care and Snow Removal to anyone in need of a reliable and responsive snow removal service. Their promptness, thoroughness, and excellent customer service make them a standout choice in the industry. I will undoubtedly be utilizing their services again in the future.
I had FJ lawn and care come out and do work on our commercial property and Jim was amazing. He was respectful and knowledgeable about the property, and they type of grass we had. I have scheduled this team to come back monthly for the remainder of the year and next as long as we own the property. Thank you Jim and you team for the out standing work. If I could rate 10 Stars I would have!!!!
My driveway for my 2nd garage had not been shoveled for months and I needed it cleared asap! I contacted many different snow removal companies and none of them were willing to help! Than I stumbled upon Jim and he said no problem and he came over and did a great job plowing my driveway! Thank you Fj Lawn care and snow removal!!! : )
This man is very unprofessional, rescheduled with me four times due to personal issues. Wants money upfront, finally agreed to do per time and then on the first snow he called at 4 o’clock in the morning to cancel at the last minute. Shares his professional life, which is very unprofessional. Please Beware. ********I am adding my response to Jim ( the owner) see below regarding his comment to my review…….. Jim, I have no idea where you got that I was suing Sandoval? Not true!! However, this is not any type of retaliation, but a true review of your company and you. I have every single email that you sent to me that shows how unprofessional you were and and that is what I stated in my review. I also just now decided to look at some of your past reviews, and it looks like other people have ran into the same situation. My review will remain, as it is the truth.
I used their snow removal service at my home in a residential neighborhood from December 2021 through February 2022. Here’s my honest review of the pros and cons of their service. Pros： 1. The owner is really nice and genuinely seems to want to ensure his customers are happy. 2. They usually show up within 24-hours of the snowfall event. 3. If there are issues with the service, the owner is responsive and will make it right. Cons: 1. There are often issues with the service and I’ve had to call them back out several times in a few short months. 2. They show up at all hours of the night. Between the noise of their snowblower and the crew shouting to each other, they always wake me up and a neighbor has complained on a few occasions. 3. After one large snowfall event, they didn’t show up at all. I ended up shoveling myself and this was ultimately what led me to look for another service. When I explained this as my reasoning for canceling their service, the owner blamed me for not calling to tell him that they didn’t come out. (To be fair, he discounted service for the month). Final Thoughts: If you won’t mind having to call them back out to correct frequent issues with the service and won’t be disturbed by them working at all hours of the night, then this could be a great company to go with as the owner will work to make any issues right. My problem, and the reason for mine being a 3-star review, is that I do mind. Update: After cancelling service I was informed via a text message from the owner that were I to want to use his service next year I would have to pay for 3 additional months of this winter season (months I will not be receiving service for) and that it had “always been that way”. I had no contract with him, nothing was provided or even said to me indicating this policy. I informed him that this policy ensured that I would not be using his service ever again in the future. He sent me an angry text in which he used all caps to scream at me. I’m downgrading my rating from 3 stars to 2 stars based on this hostile reaction. Very unprofessional behavior.
Recommended to replace our regular for the past three years who gave us short notice that he was quitting the business. Called F.J. Lawncare after looking at their reviews and not finding anyone else that could get to us on short notice. Two days after our contact there were two of their workers on the property as promised. They not only did a terrific job, but explained what they were doing and asked if there might be anything else we might need after assessing our site. The best this property has looked in over 10 years of our 48 years of living here. Matt & Leroy are pros!
This is my second season for lawn care with this company. Last year was a little hairy....but I gave them a second chance and they have bent over backwards to accommodate me. Ron is great and Kelly keeps in touch with me regularly. If I have any problems Jim will do what he can to make things right. I would recommend to anyone in need.
What a terrible experience. I was referred to FJ by another lawn care service who was booked for the Fall and unfortunately did not read reviews before calling them. What a mistake. They showed up over 2 weeks late for Fall cleanup despite multiple calls when the agreed upon time lapsed. Worst of all, they charged me for 40 minutes they weren't there for a total of $383 for a tiny city lot, claiming it took nearly 2.5 hours with 3 guys. I contacted Jim for resolution and as confirmed by many other poor reviews, got nowhere, although after a while he did offer to give me a 2 weeks of snow removal (admission of guilt?). Never wanting to deal with this business again, I filed a dispute with American Express and won after a month-long investigation, so now there is on-record precedence for filing claims against the shenanigans they pull.
These guys are awesome
My apologies, this was for another lawn care company with a similar name
They are affordable and do great work
Our catering company uses FJ Lawn Services and snow removal for our snow removal. They are responsive, flexible, and do a great job!
They do our snow removal..they always make it over so quickly after it snows! Reliable service at reasonable prices! Great people! Highly recommend! Adrienne McClellan Positive
Was having problems with pocket gophers. FJ lawn came out and took the time to bait the correct areas and quickly eliminated my pest problem.
Never answer the phone or respond to emails
The service is and was so AWESOME!!! I ll be using this company again!!! I highly recommend this company!!!! Thank you gentlemen!!
I have an unusual yard with large hills. FJ Lawncare has taken care of it for many years for me and they do a great job and are affordably priced.
I have had the best luck with Jim, he takes all my concerns seriously and works on them right away to make sure my yard is its best. Thanks Jim.
I have not had a professional lawn care service ever. Jim and his crew came out, mowed, trimmed my fence line that had not been trimmed in years and blew off my sidewalk. When he was done my yard looked like a golf course I told him. He is fine if I dont want chemicals used. He made suggestions but no high pitched sales to get me to change my mind. I cant say enough good things about his company. He even rolled my hose up when I forgot. He could of left it on the sidewalk but took the time to roll it up. Little things like that that sets him apart from the other companies. It was to be a onetime service but he was so reasonable Im still using him. GIVE HIM A CALL.
I was quite please with the services they provided And the wokers seemed polite and knowable on how to perform the tasks at hand. Patrick Positive Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Ive had his lawn care business there right on time and have great staff also there palite I look forward again for there services.
They were on time and responsive. to to all my needs and knowledgeableble to what was needed to get the job under control for future aspects. I found a trust in the worker thats hard to come by. Positive
Started communication but did not follow up. Disappointed in service, communication was poor and stopped even though I responded to them very quickly and answered their questions. I highly do not recommend. If they were unable to do the job they should have been professionals and said that.
Clearly others are holding FJ to an unnecessarily high standard. Delayed billing? - Owner operated companies demands so much from the owner. Allow for a possible delay. Forgotten callbacks? - They likely receive 10-50 calls per day during busy times. Undesirable bid pricing? - Many homeowners do not understand that operational costs can be very high. If you do not like the bid, move on. These are not reasons to provide a review. Much less a negative one. And certainly not for the industry in question. FJ has always followed through for us, and can be relied on when contracted to provide a service. Prior to the contract, they owe you nothing. Thanks FJ! And keep up the good work!
Plowing service incredibly slow, regularly left large areas unplowed/unshoveled or more often they showed up so late that I had already done the majority of the work. I just got a bill with OUTRAGEOUS extra charges- will NOT recommend or use again. EDIT in response - I guess my expectations of ensuring prompt service/consistent service by hiring a company on a contract is wildly unrealistic. One might think that having a contract would ensure service within a reasonable amount of time without requiring multiple calls/texts to check in.... but again, I must just be insane. For the amount of money they charge, babysitting should NOT be needed. I was never rude or mean- basically terrified to complain at all about quality because once you do, these guys can just decide to disappear/ stop coming out all together and then Id be doubly screwed. I had high hopes for finding a good company that was based close to my home so that plow service would be prompt- my driveway is very steep and the city does not allow parking on-street overnight regardless of the season...this is NOT that company. Waiting 8+ hours with no ETA is not OK. Advice: If you cant provide timely service to all of the clients youve taken on, you should notify them or provide a discount/reimbursement. Also, if youre not going to make it out within the stated contract time (4-8 hrs) or at least the same day, a text or call saying so should be made.
They did a wonderful job with my landscaping needs. Highly recommended!
Quality work done quickly.
I used F J Lawn Care for lawn aeration. I appreciated the advice that was given for over seeding and fertilizing afterward.
FJ Lawn Care took the time to explain Spring clean-up options as well as Summer lawn fertilizer application and available service plans. After completing Spring clean-up, the crew did an excellent job handling the pre-emergent application and core aeration. Thank you!
FJ Lawncare has provided exceptional service for me in snow removal and lawn care. The work is always done well and the service is personal. I felt like more than another person on their client list. I recommend them to anyone seeking these services.
FJ Lawn Care has been mowing for me for about a month now and has consistently done a great job. They mow, trim and clean up the walk ways. Office staff are always available and ready to help. Great local company. Positive
Called to have services done for my home and whoever answer the phone was very rude and short. He informed me that they were booked; which I understand, so I was trying to figure out how I could get a possible rate or quote for future purposes and he replied hes busy and have to go then hung up in my face before I could say anything. Ive been working in customer service over 12 years now and thats definitely not the way to speak to possible customers. If he was so busy at the time all he had to do is ask if I could call back at a better time! Horrible horrible service and I never had any work done by them but with his attitude alone I would recommend going elsewhere!
Fj Lawn Care & Snow Removal has done great work for my snow removal and Ive had their Lawn care services for the last three years. Theyve done everything that ive needed done with extra care. Thank you Fj, you guys are great!
It was a little hairy ironing out the details at first but all worked out well in the end and Jim went out of his way to make sure I was taken care of
I called FJ Lawn care with questions about how to turn my weed covered problem yard onto a grass lawn. I was hopping to just get some pressing questions answered but was amazed to be talked though the entire process step by step. One of the most honest and helpful interactions Ive ever had with someone. -Luke
Would highly recommend for anyone looking for lawn care services Awesome experience with these guys. Had to delay a few applications due to weather but they worked through it with us. Did a great job with their work. Jim is very knowledgeable and friendly.
If only I could give a 0. edited to say, you know who I am, you had a contract for over a year at my house and werent good. This review is accurate, and you called and left a msg on my phone so you do know who I am, I have the voicemail. Im just a very unhappy ex-customer.
These men go Above & Beyond!! 5 Star Service!! Jim Thiewes youre the best!!
OK...was looking for snow removal for this year....emailed him on his website....no response. I called and left a message....no call back. I called again and Jim answered and I told him what I needed. He said he would write up a quote and send me a contract on Monday (this was Friday). Never got anything from him....called him twice more and left messages....still got no reply. Dont waste your time with this guy/company....he doesnt seem to do what he says.....or he just doesnt need the business:)
All negative reviews are accurate and justified. Doesn t deserve even 1 star. Authorized payed for an amount and three months later for an invoice of over $650. Said they did more work than actually received. Then harassed me for payment, over 20 voicemails/texts/emails in one day. Dishonest, disorganized, unreliable. Never use this company.
They do not come when they say they will. Requested spring clean up in March. They took my money. I never got a call back. I had to call them to ask when they were coming. They have given me two dates and they still havent come. Liars and thieves. Stay away!
Fj Lawn care has done a great job keeping up with my weed prevention and mowing this spring. I am beginning to see great results in my yard! I recommend them fully and have had nothing but good experiences with the FJ crew and Jim.
I have used Fj for core aeration for the last two springs. They are out first thing in the spring to do it before I need to get fertilizer down. It makes a huge difference on my lawn, resulting in having a thick green yard. Thank you.
Jim is friendly and responsive to my questions and they do great work! Ive referred him to many other people when they are seeking out a year round property service. Two thumbs up!
HORRIBLE SERVICE, CUSTOMER SERVICE AND BUSINESS. MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO LOOK ELSEWHERE WHEN IT COMES TO LAWN SERVICES INCLUDING LEAF CLEAN UP AND HAUL AWAY. OVERALL IF I COULD I WOULD GIVE FJ LAWN CARE AND SNOW REMOVAL A NEGATIVE RATING. JIMS (THE OWNER) VERY POOR COMMUNICATIONS/LACK OF RESPONSE , TIME FRAME FOR COMING OVER TO START/COMPLETE SERVICES, PRICING AND RESPECT FOR HIS CUSTOMERS ARE JUST A FEW OF THE REASONS (THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON) I WOULD NEVER CONTACT OR THINK ABOUT DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS OUTFIT AGAIN. TRUST ME........DO NOT BE FOOLED LIKE I WAS.
Had great results using FJ Lawn Care.The crew is professional, efficient, friendly and did a really good job! I highly recommend!
Ive found FJ to be very reliable and reasonable Ive been using their services for 6 yrs. In that time Ive had one very small issue. I called and it was taken care of within a few hours. I like the fact that the majority of the time I can talk to a real person. Also, love the fact I can pay thru their website. Jim is as honest as you can get.
Jim is prompt, knowledgeable, detail oriented and friendly. He and his team do an excellent job.
Unreliable service. Would not come out to service the yard on the days that they promised. Weed control was done late, so my yard looks horrible with crab grass. Unable to properly generate invoices, resulted in double-paying sales tax. Do not use this service supplier.
I cant begin to tell you what life saver this company has been!! We recently moved into a home that the lawn was in total disaster mode! Fj lawn care not only got our lawn in tip top condition but also exceeded all our expectations!! We have found an lasting relationship!! Thank you Fj lawn care, you definitely know your business!! Maria
Top notch work leaves my yard like heaven mixed with angels, they do very good work looking for nice businesses this is the one. And the mowing trimming starts as low as $40.00
I had fj lawn care out for lawn service and plowing fj lawn care did a fantastic job for me Im very pleased on the service .thanks guys .
Fj Lawn Care & Snow Removal is a great service. Does everything so well. Theyre precise in there work. I would recommend them to everyone. :)
