The only reason that I gave them 1 star is because you can't do half a star. This company is a joke.they over charged me for magic salt after saying that they couldn't give me a print out from the scale on the loader that day! They loaded 1 ton and charged me for 2. They must really need the money to pay for all the snow removal equipment at the Natick Mall.stay away from GroundsKeeper, Ashland MA
