lawn Service Beware!
 
:rant-rave: Considering PTL Services ? When we tried to fire them for sub-par-service, they threatened a lien on our home! Stay Away!

See a lawyer, counter sue for breach on contract, then see how fast they run.

Go to Seniors vs Crime in the County Annex on the corner of 466 and Morse Blvd. They are affiliated with the Attorney General's office and get results

After that call STELLAR Residental Care and get the service that is AAA Plus. Remember you will get what you pay for. Hire the best for the best results. Yes, we are a satisfied customer of STELLAR.

I have to agree with all of the above. Very pleased with Stellar.

We have had PTL do all our lawn and pest service for the last four years and we have been very satisfied with their work. If we have a concern with anything we call them and they have always taken care of it promptly.

Sorry to hear about your negative experience. Did you talk to them about the problems if so what was their response? How long have they been doing your lawn? Were they unwilling to correct the problems?

Ptl
 
We have been using PTL for lawn care, tree and bush trimming, weeding, and pest control since we purchased our home in February. We have been pleased with their service. They have always immediately responded to any and all concerns we have ever had. We use Jim as our point of contact. He has always come through for us.:wave:

When there is a first time post and one that is very negative against a contractor here there is need for not rushing to judgement.

Especially when there are equally as many who feel that the contractor is doing a good job.

I would first call BBB and Crimes Against Seniors to see if they too have received complaints.

Threatening to put a lien against ones home is VERY extreme.

Please forgive me first time poster, but I was speaking in general terms.

I have no knowledge of these folks at all and we too are looking for a new person to maintain our new lawn. The one we had for our house in Hadley and we were pleased with has disappeared from the landscape and is not returning calls. I still can't get over a lawn person threatening to put a lien against a person's property.

If you are a first time poster and you have to make a very negative post against a contractor it is wise to say a little more to let us know exactly how this came about. How much was the contract, where did they fail, did the neighbors have the same experiences, what part of town, who did you speak with there etc.etc.etc.

I feel bad for any of us villagers who are being taken advantage of but I feel bad for a good contractor who may be getting his name unfairly smeared by a competitor. And I think this happens on here a LOT.
