I love working for this company and its by far the best landscaping company in Iowa in my opinion.We take pride in the work we do as well as insuring the customer is pleased with the work they receive.
This would not let me give negative stars. Read the reviews people because I failed to! The are completely rude. The guys that do the dirty work are good people but are with a bad company ran by bad morals. They do not care about you. Greg would never see me in person and did not care when I was not happy about the outcome. Did not follow the proposal. I asked several times for him to meet me at my house never would. I complained that there wasnt any scetch or measurements at all. The Wolf said this is not a high end job that I would bother with any kind of drawing, I only do that for $20,000 jobs. I would not sign off on the job. He still would not come to discuss what wasnt right and threatened me to pay. He hangs up on you, is rude, and shows 0 respects. If he thinks the job is good enough to him than he wants paid. Quite the false salesman.
This issue has been resolved they were very polite and the employee that removed the pile went above and beyond. Thanks guys!!I have contacted Gregs twice over the last 2 snowfalls. The first time (1/26/21) I asked them Politely not to do it again after they put a huge pile of snow in my front yard from the parking lot that they plow across the street. After the very next snow (1/31/21) The added to the pile doubling it in size and this is not just against my curb it is at least 20 into my yard. This time I ask them to go get the pile out of my yard and they said they would but as of the time of this post the pile is still sitting there. Please come get your pile of snow before it turns into saltwater and destroys my lawn.
They do our snow removal and lawncare and are NOT good! For example our walks are often not plowed until late in the day AND with their giant plow our garages are now snowed in! The plow they use is way too big for the job, it has destroyed our driveway and is ripping up our grass/rocks. n the summer theyve knocked over flower pots and just leave them, they blow leaves under our deck instead of out into lawn. I do not recommend them at all! My name is not on the account so I wont show up as a customer
Ive tried to contact an employee several times through phone and email-(I believe his name was Nick), terrible service and not responsive to my questions at all. Pretty rude to not reply and he could use a little bit of professional training. I wouldnt recommend.
Best in the state. Great GM. Quality employees that are extremely knowledgeable and very well trained. Outstanding company to work for and to have services provided. Definitely recommend.
I work where they plow snow for target and the guys are the worst they don’t shovel the sidewalk they just put salt down thing it’s good enough but we have walk in the slop and then they can’t come back and clean more snow after the trucks go out we shouldn’t have to track through snow to get to our trucks or personal vehicles and this has been going on for 3 yrs if I was paying this company to plow it wouldn’t be much unless they could pay attention to small details and do a better job let’s hope they take this to heart and step up sorry no star rating needs improvement
Ten-twelve years ago we hired Greg’s Lawn Service to care for our yard. They did an excellent job. We had the best looking yard on the block(s). So recently we hired them again – different house. Somewhere, sometime between then and now their services have declined. The star rating is for the beautiful retaining wall they built, ground leveling and the brick pathway they restored in our back yard. They work well with heavy equipment. It’s the fine-tuning they apparently find unimportant to a home-owner/senior citizens. So for three weeks with a leg brace (waiting for surgery) and ignoring medical instructions while I wait, I’ve hobbled around in pain cleaning up rock, raking up twigs and spraying weeds, etc. My husband completed the step construction, moved dirt, hauled debris away etc. We were told to call them if we needed further help. We tried – three times. Calls have not been returned. ‘Disappointed’ puts it mildly. We’re looking for another lawn service to help with fertilizer, seeding and weed control.
This is a service that Watts group uses. They are terrible. They put a rock through the back window of my handicapped van, looked that they broke it and then walked away, expecting us to pay for it. A lady walking her dog watched them and told us. Then they denied it. Snow removal. This morning it was 7:30 before they showed up. I tried to get to work this morning on time and was stuck in the driveway. They had someone who was here early and cleaned the inter sidewalks apparently since they are late we are to walk to work. Anyway, I am 73, same handicapped van, I had to shovel my way out as two men who finally showed up watched. Didnt offer to help, they watches as a elderly woman shoveled her vehicle out. This is who this company is, they discriminate against women, elderly and the disabled. Who would like to claim these men and have a company declare they are community minded.
While removing snow for their client, this company decided to push that snow into my driveway blocking it. Plenty of places to put the snow on their clients property or city right of way, they just drive it straight into my driveway. The cars parked there should have been a clue not to put snow there. That s being incompetent or being a jerk. Either way, its a bad way to do business.
I LOVE my yard now! Id recommend Gregs Lawn & Landscaping to anyone! Very professional from the first time I called to inquire about their service to the end product. The guys were polite and hard working. Gregs Lawn made sure that everything we went over before they did my landscaping was what I wanted before they started. Then by the time there where done my yard looked better than I could have imagined! Dont waste your time with another company; go with the Pros! 35+ years in business says a LOT!
Check them out! You will not be disappointed.
I owner is a nightmare
If you want top-quality lawn care services this is the place to go. I dont have the time in the day to take care of my lawn and was looking for someone to get the job done right at a reasonable rate and Gregs was able to provide both. 5/5 definitely recommend for maintenance work
We are still waiting for snow removal for our driveway and sidewalks the next day after the snow and it is almost 4:00. We expect some delay after a big snow but after a long wait and two phone calls—- nothing.We live in town in Coralville, do not understand why it would take so long to get to us. They clearly are not prepared to service all their customers in a reasonably timely way.
Very good company. For anyone who complains about company doing work on their property and dont want to pay. I do believe there is a contract that is signed so any work there is subject to being paid. Greg is not hard to deal with. He is a businessman and any business man expects to be paid for work done especially if it was done under a contract. Absolutely would recommend to friends and family.
They plowed a driveway on Beckett Dr. and left snow in the middle of the street.
Witnessed them use a spreader right along a neighbors fence and spray yellow pellets through the fence and onto their dogs. They also have routinely mowed 10+ feet into my yard and have taken out hundreds of dollars worth of plants and broke my compost bin.
Id requested lawn mowing and fertilization/herbicide services from Gregs Lawn a couple of months ago. During the first mowing, they cut areas too short killing some of my lawn and they damaged my trees to boot. I informed them of the damage but gave them a pass, because my lawn is very uneven so I trusted theyd do better the next time.The next time, the lawn had barely grown and I had been told by the office that they wouldnt cut if the lawn was too short because it wasnt healthy. Needless to say, they mowed the lawn anyway. Far worse it had rained recently and when they drove around my lawn with their mowers, they made massive divots in my yard and tore up large sections. At this point I was done with them.That day I informed them that I would be cancelling all services and that I shouldnt have to pay for either of the mowings which had done more damage to my lawn than I owed them. I also asked if they wanted to do anything to make right the damage to my property. I never received a reply, but found out that someone from the service came over to my house without notifying me the next day and tried to clean up some of the areas and spread seed. They managed to get into my backyard which was locked which seems legally problematic.Almost a month later, I get home from a vacation to find an invoice in my mail box for a fertilization/herbicide treatment. So Gregs Lawn again came onto my property without notifying me and attempted to charge me for it. Since I had already cancelled all service there was no way I was paying for it.It speaks to the competency and organization of the company that after so many mistakes they manage to mess up again almost a month after Id finished with them. Consequently, if I could I would give negative stars to counteract the positive reviews and save other people some trouble.
They mow so fast on wet grass that it looks uneven and he drove on top of my newly grass. More than once they didnt blow the clippings from the sidewalk and steps.They do show up.
Would not even provide me with an estimate for yard overgrowth.
Once again they also dont return calls
These guys dont shovel your sidewalks or plow your parking lot on any kind of timely manner. This winter, my apartments parking lot is a disaster. Gregs doesnt plow it in time, so the tenants cars get stuck all over the place. It looks like a demolition derby in the snow. Their staff told me that they dont care and wishes their owner would drop our apartments business. Stay Away from this horrible business.
I could do a better job with a butter knife than these guys do with their mowers, they rush, leave lawns looking like trash, and damage structures. Dont even want to talk about what they consider snow removal. What a joke, dont hire them.
Everyone is extremely helpful.
To be quite honest, the only reason Im writing this review is to discourage other people from using this company for their lawn needs. Any company that will call someones employer to get them fired over a bad review is unprofessional and frankly despicable. Get some quality people to run this company, or you are just going to keep getting bad reviews.
Immensely subpar quality of work and incessant self victimization when criticized about said quality of work. Really had such high hopes but will gladly take my business elsewhere.
Great compamy to work for and also great quality lawn care and landscaping services
I hired Gregs for snow removal last year. Several times the plow driver dumped so much salt on my driveway that I felt as though my property was an extension of the Dead Sea. I called the office several times asking for that not to happen again, but it did.My driveway has little holes in it from all of the salt.When I adressed the issue with the owner, Greg Scharf, he told me he would file a lien on my house if I didnt pay him in full. Good friends of mine reported a similar encounter with the man. Scharf is not a reputable business man and not a good person to get involved with.
Gregs damaged my property while doing work and they would not take any responsibility. I had spent thousands of dollars with Gregs over the years, and had intentions on spending thousands more. Greg could care less. When I said that I would no longer be doing business with them if they didnt cover the damages (which wasnt that much $), the owner Greg, basically told me to take a hike. They will never get another dime from me. They do not care about their customers at all. Since this happened to me, Ive had several friends that tell me the same story about them.
Terrible service. I would not only never recommend them, I would highly discourage anyone from using this company.
“Didn’t need any work at this time” I was told. Interesting for a company that provides snow plowing.
Rude and unprofessional!!! By far the worse people I have ever dealt with, cant believe some of the people they employe . Will never ever deal with them again!!
Very helpful good company
Super nice and friendly!!
Do not hire these guys. They take no pride in the work they do.
Great company to do business with
