| - I was in search of a landscape service in the Coolidge area to clean up my dad's yard since he is only here for part of the year and his HOA was sending him "friendly" reminders to clean up his weeds, trees, etc. His backyard was way worse than the front with tumble weeds, dry brush, and dead grass. My husband and I usually do the job but this was a bit too much and we didn't have the means to haul the debris and trash from all the yard work that needed to be done. Plus we live 45 minutes away in Gilbert.
Someone on facebook recommended Crown Point and so I called to get a free estimate. For the front and back yard the cost would be $320 which I thought was expensive but taking into consideration all the work that needed to be done, I accepted. The weeds would be removed, the trees and bushes trimmed, and the all the trash would be hauled away.
I also requested if they could take before and after pictures of the property so my dad could see what the $320 was paying for. They agreed to send the pictures to my email address. Well we never received them. So my husband and I had to go down there ourselves, spend about 2 hours of our day to be at the house for 15 minutes to take pictures, twice! I reminded them a few times about the pictures and they always said they would make sure to send them, no problem.
Overall they did a good job on the yard. On the first trip out there, I met one of the workers and he was really friendly and professional. I went over my expectations and he verified it with his notes. However, we weren't happy with the trees. My dad has two trees in his yard that needed trimming. Well they only trimmed the underneath and any branches that was about to fall. They did not touch the top at all. So I called to see if they would fix it but apparently it was my fault because I did not use the term "tree topping" when getting the quote. I assumed saying "the trees need to be trimmed" would suffice. Well I guess I you learn something new everyday. It is what it is. If you want something done, ultimately you have to do it yourself which we'll be doing from now on.
