Their drivers like to pull out in front of you. Apparently having a truck and trailer allows you to ignore traffic laws and makes you invincible.

A crew from this company was blowing leaves across a public road as I was trying to drive by. They would not turn their mowers or backpack blowers down or away from the road as I was stopped and waiting. I get it, you guys have a lot to do but if you decide to use a public road as your working area, be mindful that most people would choose not to have debris blown into their vehicle.

This company is my associations vendor and I've never seen such a poor-performing landscape company. This winter has been nothing short of a mess thanks to their lack of effort. Today I was welcomed home by a blocked in driveway. How does it take a company 8+ hours to plow a neighborhood and the residents driveway? WHAT A JOKE! Additionally - our neighborhood isn't even plowed! Cars stuck all around due to their poor performance. NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY
