I tried to use them and it was a huge flop. Because I own a new home, the backyard isn't seeded yet 100% so they wouldn't even touch the backyard! Why would I pay $50 +dollars just to have the front mowed and why can't you just cut the backyard? I don't understand how you can be a lawncare business in 2022 and have RESTRICTIONS on the work you can do! Huge let down!

Report
Called on Tuesday to get an estimate for landscaping work. Was assured someone would call. Heard nothing for 2 days. Called back on Thursday and was told a different person would call in advance to setup a time to look at my project. On Friday I finally got a call and he said "I'll be there in 30 minutes". No, that's not calling in advance to setup an appointment. Was not available any other time, refused to come on Saturday. Will find someone else to do the job. The customer service rep (Alyssa?) was as helpful as she could be. Not her fault that Sean never called me and Brian was not flexible or professional.

Report
Contacted Atkins company after having my home inspected for a sale and termites were found. The gentleman they sent said he was asked to do another report and looked around and found no termites. I told him I had already had an inspection and report done and showed him where termites were found. He dug a little more and said, "yeah there's termites." Yes, thank you. Now I'm getting an invoice to pay for a report I already had done and to point out to someone the location of the termites for them.
I mentioned this to someone in an email and feel like this service isn't something I should have to pay for. On top of that, the initial contact that I received from Atkins after coming out to my home was an invoice with absolutely no information on treating the issue I sought them out for. I had to ask for information to get the problem taken care of. All they seemed to care about was getting paid.needless to say, I went with another company and they didn't charge me anything to come out and look.

We have been using Adkins lawn care and winter snow removal service for the last few years. They just got finished doing my fall upkeep and trimming and did a fabulous job. This is a wonderful place for lawn care for seniors. Thank you Keith and team! Services: Lawn mowing & maintenance, Yard work
