Ask your neighbor who they use.

Why do you people NOT mention the company name? Here you are asking others for help all while not helping others who might have also hired them or might hire them in the future. Thanks for nothing, we appreciate you being so self serving.

Hard to find a mowing service north of CR 466. For weeks I would go out every day in my Village and hunt for crews mowing lawns. Ask for their business card or read the name on the truck. Usually the answer is "We're not taking on any new customers because in rainy weeks we can't get to every one we have now." Most businesses want to stick to one or two Village neighborhoods, so they can do 3 or 4 homes on the same street and unload ONCE. Driving 3 miles to the next customer is not profitable.
Very difficult situation.

Why not mention them. Maybe other people had the same company. Why even post this rent when you’re not gonna expose them. Waste of reading.

Default Disappearing long guys

[we live in Richmond and if I found a very reliable lawn service called good neighbor lawn service he is a guy that works by himself and can either do a push mower or the larger mower always edges and trims well trims bushes as well and pulls our weeds we have gone through so many different people over the years in The Villages. It’s a breath of fresh air to get a young guy that comes every week and does a great job. Yes he’s a little bit more but he’s extremely dependable and always there to help us. His name is AJ. His number is 352-425-7226. He is also a veteran and former Los Angeles, police officer on the SWAT teamQUOTE=Foxtrot;2455356]Been 2 weeks since they cut my grass, and I'm due for a shrub and bush trimming. Not returning my calls. Not going to mention the company, but if you know of a dependable service that works in Buttonwood, please mention them.

Thanks[/QUOTE]

I have had the same lawn service for over 5 years. Very reasonable and dependable.

My community is not in the villages, but I’d estimate that 25-30%of our residents are former villagers. Most of them have said keeping landscapers was a pain. They’d get a company that was good for the first few months, then service would crater. Some had better luck, but most said shopping for landscapers was a yearly event. YMMV

I hear ya, I recommended our former irrigation guy several times on TOTV and now he’s so busy he’s booking over 6 months out and never answers his phone or returns calls. Making recommendations can come back and bite you. The Villagers is getting to dam big.

Our service provider sucks. I've tried everything. Hefty tips, gift certificates, and adult liquid gifts. All I had to do was call their office and say it's over. Since that day, they no longer send people with poor eyesight to cut and trim our lawn. Problem solved. I'm a happy customer again.

Default Lawn Service Company

I saw this post several days ago and waited for good company names to be posted. My company did not disappear, but I am very unhappy with them. No one seems to have mentioned a company or person specifically who they are happy with? I can understand being reluctant to mention the name of someone who is terrible (maybe it also against the rules of the forum?), but why be reluctant to give a good recommendation? Can someone recommend a company that is honest, reliable and reasonable (may be too much to hope for?) or where I can get that specific recommendation? I am new to this forum and may just not know how to get to the right spot? May thanks.
