My aunt is an 80 year old woman who's HOA uses the services of Shill. She's tried calling Shill multiple times with no response. The pictures below depict the type of service they provide. She is on a fixed income and now has to pay for her home to be professionally power washed and for piles of grass clippings to be removed from her yard. 6/21 follow up - Schill reached out and made this right. I applaud them for taking responsibility.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness Look at the poor quality. The mowing is terrible, the edging goes into the dirt but not straight and this is their plan for weed control. Harbour Light in North Royalton Services: Landscape management, Landscaping maintenance, Groundskeeping

Critical: Quality Like some of the other reviews we are in an HOA. Not doing what we were told they would do. Haven't cut my grass two weeks in a row. Not edging-not trimming shrubs-haven't put our mulch down. I have called HOA as well as Schill no response! Wish we could get new landscaping company. Throwing our money out the window!

As I sit in my office watching the barely trained employees cut grass where I work, cutting and aiming his mower shoot so it discharges all the clippings into the flowerbeds I am reminded the same company and exact same crew does the HOA where I live. This year 2022 the service is actually worse as this new crew of employees leaves huge areas of grass not cut, and cannot string trim, leaving most of the areas without any trimming or very poorly done.
They have ridden their mowers into structures as I have watched this both at work and at home and seem to not be able to handle the blowers either as they never clean off the deck, porch, and sidewalks as is part of the contract.
