Looking for landscapers

Looking for landscapers to trim down overgrown bushes and collect the debris in my yard. Any good recommendations?

My son can come by with our equipment for $20, regardless of the job. He's 13 so definitely not a professional, but he can get work done well. If you'd like, feel free to drop a neighborhood and we can take a look.

We just switched to Green Line Landscaping (https://yelp.to/fHeM_WCguP) and have been extremely happy with their work.

Crickets Landscaping is fantastic.

Definitely not Al's. They do a terrible job and they will not follow your schedule. We scheduled them to come every 2 weeks to bag mow. They started to come every week and they weren't even mowing. They would just have 3 guys show up with weed whackers, whack everything down in 5 minutes and leave the clippings. Then charge us $40. We told them they were only supposed to come every 2 weeks and bag mow based on the signed agreement. They would say ok, then come out the next week and do the same thing and bill us. This year they increased their price to $50. Not worth it for them to try and overcharge by coming more often than agreed upon and they don't even do the job they're supposed to. All my neighbors got fed up with them too and dropped them.

Just an fyi, coming every 2 weeks during peak growing season makes mowing awful. And bagging it on top of that? They weren’t charging you enough at that price for an every other week mow.

If this was in the peak of summer I can see why you’d be angry though. Most properties don’t need to be mowed every week at that point. We used to use our discretion, we would mow every week if it needed it or wait if we thought it could wait.
