Very shady business practices. Be sure to get their rate in writing. I called them and was told (by Josh) that it would be $150/hour for 4 guys to perform leave removal. I have a large yard and lots of leaves, so this discussion on pricing and number of people was very important to me since having 4 people blowing the leaves in concert is much more efficient that one or two guys. They were at my house for 3 hours. The bill should have been $450, but they tried to charge me $650. They later denied telling me it was $150/hour for 4 guys. Additionally they tried to tack on a $50 disposal fee, which

Outstanding in every way! Joe Bouchard is a dream to work with. Attentive, respectful and very knowledgeable. They started with a mess and I ended up with a beautiful landscape that I couldn't be happier with. They worked closely with me on plant selection and placement. Left the area clean and neat. I can't recommend them enough. Definitely 5 Stars in my book!!!!!!

Came out and showed them the issues and have heard nothing from them in a week! After the review and communicating the issues I understand the reason why! I choose Kohler because they were highly recommended! We will see how we progress from here!
