We have been using Vera Landscaping for 4 years and with much satisfaction. They regularly mow and by request will weed garden areas and trim trees, hedges and bushes. Call 352-571-0992. You’re welcome.

They do it all. Mow, trim shrubs and monthly weeding.

Has anyone used this service and, if so, what is a typical monthly cost? Thank you!

Hired Massey when first moved to T.V. Massey came to check out my irrigation system... Told this will take all day... Two hours later handed a $1,200 bill... What did you do to earn $1,200? Ummm, walked around and really could not show me any proof of any work... Lifted up a ground lid and showed me my old electric system... Head honcho came around and tried to sweet talk me, where you from, and do you like T.V.?

I had Dean's for almost 3 years but since I'm here full-time now I started cutting my own grass and the fertilizing. I still have them for pest control but I'll probably take that over too.

They were always there every week cutting the grass and doing the fertilizing every two months. My biggest problem is with their fertilizing program. They only put down straight fertilizer and don't use any pre-emergents for weed control and only spot treat for weeds. I asked why and they told me that there is only a small window for pre-emergents and they can't get to everyone so they don't do anybody. Since I've taken it over using a southern weed and feed most of my crabgrass is dying. I'm going to try to get rid of the common Bermuda grass that has taken over a lot of my St Augustine with a mixture of herbicides that is not supposed to hurt the St Augustine.

I agree that Massey is not the best, but they do almost everything related to lawn maintenance, they are cheaper than other companies I have tried, and they answer the phone when you call them. If a contractor won't return my calls, they are fired. Also, I have not found any company who will maintain my irrigation system on an ongoing basis. Massey will check my irrigation system for $40 per quarter, and they will come almost immediately to repair an irrigation leak, and they are way cheaper than any other irrigation company I have found. They are also the cheapest lawn mowing service, who is also reliable.

Good Luck

[retiredguy123]

Can anyone recommend an irrigation company who will maintain and repair a sprinkler system on a continuous basis for a reasonable cost? I don't want a company who will only come out on an emergency or as-needed basis, but someone who will respond to a call to make a repair when needed as a regular customer. The only company I have found who will do this is Massey.

I replied to my own post.

I am using them now and think their prices are a little high, especially for weeding and trimming. Mowing is $55 a months, weeding is $22 a month (all they do is spray), trimming is $135 a quarter
