We've used Bates off and on for years. We found that Bates has some technicians that are very good, and some which seem to be "temporary" in nature and don't care at all. A lot of neighbours use Bates and seem to be happy with them.

For the past year we've used a lawn cutting guy that also trims shrubs, etc., and best of all, has a pesticide license. He works in our neighbourhood and we're very, very happy with him. Neighbours are a great source of information when choosing contractors.
