  I really want to rate it higher. When we've used them, they've been phenomenal. Their services delivered seem to be great and affordable. But I cannot, no matter how hard I try, get follow up calls or bids on new services. I called at least 3 times for snow plowing, never got a return call. Called 5 times before we were able to get weekly mowings while my own mower was down. I've called a half dozen times for other stuff (bush hogging, aerating, fertilizing, etc). I think I got one call back on those. I really want to establish a relationship and give them my money; they don't seem to want the same.

  Black Bear Lawn Care was recommended to me as a company that builds retaining walls. I immediately liked Jon as soon as I met him and was hoping his bid to rebuild two small walls would be competitive, as I thought he would be my choice to do the job. Unfortunately though, he kept promising to return the quote but it never materialized. After reading other reviews on this company, I found this was not unusual. If you don't want to do the job just tell me so I can move on to someone else. Very disappointing and unprofessional.

  Yesterday, this landscaping coming came to my apartment building with a tiny lawn for the first time this year, and we're a few months into lawn care season They only used weedwackers, so the lawn looks like it's a bad shave job, and they cut down my budding flowers... for the 3rd time. Highly don't recommend. (The second photo is a plot I have clearly sectioned off by natural borders - dip in the lawn, tilled, and marked off in manmade circles - which you can see now just looks like more lawn).

  Really needed a cord of firewood this winter extra so call the round after seeing these guys had some alongside the road on my travels that looked pretty good for firewood in the winter time. So I pulled over took the phone number somebody came out we asked them about it they said they'd have somebody call me Monday. The following Friday we called back and they give us a price on the chord of $250 for seasoned Hardwood. A little pricey but not bad for in the dead of winter. They said they would be there Monday or Tuesday morning. Never showed up Monday never showed up Tuesday. Call them back and they tell me they don't deliver during snow storms when will we literally had a dusting of snow 2 days in a row. We live in Maine this is not a snow storm. Finally we called them again on the next Friday because by now we were out of firewood and two weeks past when they were supposed to deliver it. They told us they would be there with it between noon and 5 p.m. and it actually showed up on time but only about a third of the wood was hardwood about a third of it was so rotten that it wasn't even worth burning and a third of it was soft wood that was really moldy. What good would I got out of it lasted me about 2 weeks at most. Not only was I disappointed with the service I was very disappointed with the product and the very high price of it. And a business like this knows exactly what they're doing, they are ripping people off to their benefit

  This company doesn't seem interested in getting a new customer. After seeing their trucks is my neighborhood I decided to hire them for some lawn care and snow removal. First contact I had was with one of the workers in my neoghborhood. I stopped let them know I was interested in hiring them they said they would let someone know and have them call me. The call never came so I reached out by phone to set up a estimate. I was told someone would call to set up a time. A week goes by no call... So I call again and request another estimate appointment. On my third contact John did call and schedule a time to come out. I waited around the house all day to catch him. Guess what John didn't show up. This company can't even get an estimate right don't waste your time or money they don't seem to have it together.
