You want a full service contractor that does every ok, then go with Deans. If you want contractors that do everything great then you're going to have to break it up between certain contractors that specialize. The villages is so competitive that you can't offer full service and keep quality. We've been around for 7 years and the only company that is an "all in one" company that I've heard does an ok job is Deans. A lot of people learn down the road that if you can manage it then it's better to separate things between two or more contractors, at the very least have one that does your lawn/shrub treatments and pest control, then one that does your mowing, shrub trimming, and weeding. We've always stayed away from the treatment side of it because unless you're a huge company then it's hard to maintain the quality. The way we maintain quality with the current service we offer is that we separate the work between different crews (ie one crew mows, one crew shrub trims, one guy weeds) and keep the same crews doing the same properties. This is the only way you can maintain quality on a larger scale.
Give Deans a call if you're looking for all in one, give me a call if you're ready to break up services.
Good luck,
Tate
