We hired this couple to do leaf cleaning and the quote started at $95 after we provided the address. A few hours after he gave that quote, he changed it to $135. We agreed on 120. Then after coming over he said too many leaves and changed it to 200. I said if you can't do it for 135 you can leave as it wouldnt be fair to other landscapers who provided a better quote.. He then agreed to do it for 135. See the pictures - these are after the cleaning. Mulched areas totally left untouched and still leaves all over the yard. Job half done at best. Not worth the money. The man sounded polite and friendly initially but it all changed to name calling like 'you're cheap' etc after the shoddy work was questioned.

Details: One time only • Residential • 1,000 - 5,000 sq ft (0.02-0.11 acres) • Leaf clean-up • Standard grass (under 6 inches) • No, I don't need to be there

DR And Son's Lawn Care / Basketball Coach's reply

$95 is my base price. After Google mapping this house I explained to the gentleman over the phone that I would have to charge $150, we then agreed to $120. Once arriving, the house was littered with leaves in the backyard and side yards that equaled an absurd amount of leaves to ask anyone to do for $135. I explained to him, this is too much work for that amount and I CAN NOT DO IT for $135. At this point he stated "You only have one 5 star review, you must be trustworthy and reliable on your prices, I will have to give you a bad review". Once hearing this and of course being NEW to thumbtack I immediately felt as though my reputation would be on the line and my response to him was such. "I'll do it because my reputation and my integrity". My Wife and I moved 100s of thousands of leaves (no exaggeration I have picture proof). This customer had piles all over the yard of previous never removed leaves that were damp and wet layer after layer, including all fresh leaves. We continued to work knowing what we were being paid through the dark of night. Turning on our car and headlights for an hour to continue to uphold our integrity. The customer said to me that I should not have taken on the job, and I AGREE. I tried to tell him No I wouldn't do it for $135. However when my reputation was threatened and as a new ThumbtackPro Reviews are very important to me. My lesson has been learned.

Davarah went above and beyond to service my property. I was abroad that the time of service and Davarah took the time on the a video call with me to walk through all the flowers and plants that should not be cut (I’ve got various fruits and flowers around the property). The job was done well and the communication was top notch. Would hire again.
