FALCON Lawn Service Dropping Customers
 
BEWARE ...We & Our Neighbors Who Use FALCON LAWN CARE received a call that we regret to inform you-
No Further Lawn Service is Being Offered from FALCON.

We received a 1 week notice before they stopped our lawn services and treatments !
WTH we have been loyal customers for years!
Another one bites the dust !

4 of our neighbors got the call, also. Guessing it’s hard to get help, best to drop customers than just not show up. We have deans, maybe not everyone favorite, but they always show up, using them since 2010

We have had Falcon for 5 years and we pay in advance for the whole year - lawn care and pest control.

We'll see if we get cancelled.

I just talked to my Falcon rep. they are still performing treatment services. I did find it odd when I called 800 phone number listed for Falcon I reached Band B pest control?? My rep mark Lusby assured me my services were all up to date and scheduled throughout summer

lake5798 05-14-2021 04:56 PM
My Falcon Rep just called me back. He had a quick phone meeting with owners on the 800 number, apparently it was after hours and that number “was” directing calls to the wrong place. This situation has been rectified.

May ask what area due you live in ?
Thanks

I don't know but as a kid even though I lived in a neighborhood where there were no dogs allowed. I recall some students saying their homework got chewed up by their dog.

Latter blaming on the computer was popular.

Up to date. We've been hacked.

They just sent a contract to start service. Came today and gave a price but not for mowing and trimming. I don't need that.

No other Lawn Fertilization, Pest Control or Termite services will be affected. Our overflow answering service made a mistake routing our calls that has since been corrected.

Falcon looks forward to continuing our services in The Villages for a very long time.
Sorry to hear this. Guess people should get off their butts and get to work rather than feeling theyre entitled to unemployment for a lifetime. What a lazy, whiny, entitled generation. (And I dont mean ALL but most)

Bet you paid them through the winter

The corporate McDonald's is now starting people at $15 an hour and i guarantee, pretty much everyone else will to get people off their duffs and go back to work. Government made a big mistake with giving away so much money to the unemployed. And I guarantee you in 6 months we'll see a big turn around of the unemployment figures back down to 3%

OR, The Villages grew too big, too fast & this situation would have occurred even without the pandemic

It’s not just The Villages. It’s all over the country. When I talk to my friends in VA and OH they tell me the same thing, that employers are having a very difficult time getting anyone to work. Starting in FL on June 1, to collect unemployment people will have to prove they have applied for at least 5 jobs.

Yeah, it's only happening in The Villages. No labor problems anywhere else in the good old USA.

:ohdear:

I can remember back in the 70s in Connecticut (of all places) to collect unemployment you had to show at least 5 applications for work or you didn't get anything

“Back in the day”, if your employer called you back, you had to go or lose your unemployment benefit. How difficult would that be to reinstate? Most situations involve more than one cause & effect.

I'm in Michigan and most of all fast places are only doing drive thu no inside and hours are limited because of no help.

According to Falcon, they only stopped some of their cutting services to some customers. All other services are still in tact. I can recommend a very reliable cutting and trimming service. Juan Medina Lawn Service 352-536-7395.

I've used them for years, very reliable and do a wonderful job of trimming. My shrubs look like they've been manicured when they're finished.

Nothing wrong with throwing a little Weed & Feed for Southern Lawns on the front and back ... It keeps me spry! Save the money for Happy hour... maybe I'll buy one rather than be one.

If the government is going to send them money not to work no one will turn it down. Don't blame the people.

McDonald's on 466 near Walmart had a "Hiring" sign that said "$11-12/hr."

The government did not make a mistake with the federal unemployment checks. They deliberately extorted businesses to raise the minimum wage that congress refused. We no longer live in a free country.
