FULL SERVICE is esp good for those snow birds.. as they check sprinklers (they remote turn on- no garage access needed) Aeration for the lawn and green up also.

Plus they work in a uniform.

My neighbors hired a guy in a broke down vehicle and is shirtless- granted I'm sure they charge 1/3 of massey.. but when the going got tough.. they never showed up.
I partially agree. I have had Massey for several services, but lately, their quality has decreased. I recently fired them for irrigation maintenance because they were spending about 3 minutes and not even observing the operation of all of the sprinklers. And, I had to teach the technician how to operate the controller. I recently hired them for mowing because they said they would mow every week until October. The first month, they mowed once and then didn't come back for 2-1/2 weeks.
