My wife and I contracted this company to mow our small lawn shortly after moving to Houston two years ago. So long as they were only cutting our lawn, there were only minor but somewhat annoying problems such as those noted below (the occasional skipped week, mystery unwanted ""fertilizer"" and unjustified ""late"" charges). But when we asked them to replace some broken sprinklerheads on our irrigation system, that's when the real trouble started. After several vague estimates, they came out to ""fix"" the system, and called my wife with an estimate several hundred dollars north of the previous ones and a diagnosis of the problem that made no sense. She told them not to bother, we would find someone else to fix it. Alas, when we got home, we found that the system was no longer functional at all. In short, before they visited, our system pumped water through faulty sprinklerheads- now it does not pump water period. When we have spoken to them about this, it is as if they feel entitled to ""fix"" the system they broke, for whatever they decide to charge. In short, they are a lethal combination of incompetent and dishonest. They do not deserve yours or anyone else's business. Stay away unless you have a thick skin for small and large disputes over billing.
Pros: cheap, but you get what you pay for
Cons: disorganized, incompetent, and rude into the bargain
