Crazy Aaron Lawn & Garden

I used this service for lawn mowing and the rates were reasonable. I then engaged the service for leaf removal and was shocked at how outrageous the charges were. I was not notified ahead of time about the amount it would be. I have stopped using the service as a result of the failure to give me fair warning about how much he would charge for leaf removal.

Here’s my assessment after using Crazy Aaron off and on over the years. Crazy Aaron & crew are professional, reliable, and come when promised. I don’t have a contract or even use them as a regular service, only when the need arises. What I do have is a relationship and when I need them, they appear and get the job done. The prices are great, they do a fantastic job and are super easy to work with. Highly recommend.

Crazy Aaron’s was hired by my property manager to mow a little spot of grass. He sent a 2 man crew for the job. When they arrived, apparently one of them had to pee. We have 2 porta potties on the property, but instead of asking for a key he decided to just go behind a container. We are a restaurant so to have someone pee in the yard is completely disgusting and unacceptable. We are on a very busy intersection with a house behind the container. I called him, left a voice mail. I Sent him an email. He has never replied to either.
I will never use him. And I will tell all my friends not to as well.

We used Crazy Aaron to get our lawn perfect for selling our home. He presented us with a great price and started immediately. He mowed and re-​seeded our lawn, fixed holes left by a dog, trimmed the trees, planted new bushes, and anything else to make the house look great. We couldn’t have been happier with what he did and would recommend him to anyone.

We have used Crazy Aaron for over 9 years. He has cut down trees, built fences, planted trees, picked up fallen branches after a storm and a myriad of other jobs. He has always done accurate bidding and has left our property better than when he found it. He does nice things like blowing the leaves off of areas he wasn’t even working at. His work is excellent and he works with an arborist to make sure the trees are well taken care of. He really does quality work!

I’ve used Crazy Aaron Lawn for the past 8 years for sod, total redo landscaping projects and occasional yard cleanup. I’ve always been extremely happy with the work, communication and price.

I’ve done business with Aaron for over 4 years. He maintains the lawn at my parents’ house in return for storage space in the side yard. I’ve also had him trim trees and put in a flower bed at my parents’ house. Most recently, I had him trim the 12 mature elm trees that surround my house. He quoted the job at $ 1200 for two days’ work. It turned out to take 3 days – the trees were very overgrown. I told him to charge what it was worth and he billed me for $ 1500. Two guys, three days, thats about $ 31 per hour billable. If you ask me, I wouldn’t climb a tree with a chain saw for $ 20 – 25 per hour. And I bill at $ 50 per hour for my sewing services. So I think I got a good deal, and some well trimmed trees. It’s really tough to estimate how much time a project will take. I appreciate his responsiveness and dependability. I don’t expect horticultural advice, I expect him to get the job done. Which he does. I recommend him without reservations.

We hired Crazy Aaron because he gave us the best price. You know the saying you get what you paid for? Well we got exactly that. His crew did quick work of laying sod in our backyard and then they were gone. Now we had a great looking lawn, but had zero information on how to maintain it.
The only communication we had was via email. We would write an email asking questions on how to maintain our yard and we were given one word responses, including the last correspondence which was «contact scotts».
So if you want a quick fix, ie. a lawn that looks great until any sort of maintenance is required, this is the place for you. If you are looking more long term, don’t waste your time. Pay a little more and get actual customer service.

We hired Crazy Aaron to rip out a very large area of primrose jasmine bushes that had been growing unmaintained for years prior to when we moved in. It was actually quite a large job duke to the sheer volume of bushes which took up about 900 square feet of land on the hill between our house and the street. To us, it was a bit of an eyesore because it had grown so out of hand. To even trim/​maintain it, our regular lawn service company said it would cost at least a couple hundred dollars because of the sheer size of it all. Finally, we decided to just go through with doing it right and clearing out the majority of the bushes to reclaim a very large chunk of our side yard.
Aaron was one of three people that we got bids from. His bid landed in the middle to do all the the bush removal and dirt/​sod replacement, but I liked that he was also a licensed irrigator so I didn’t have to worry about coordinating this work with separate sprinkler company for the new watering zone that would be required for the newly laid sod.
Prior to laying the sod, he double-​checked with us to make sure we were happy with the line of bushes that remained so that we’d be confident in the finished product. He also fixed a leak that we’d had in one of our old sprinkler zones and did a check of the sprinkler system to make sure it was in total working order.
The job was completed within a week after I hired him, and I’ve got to say, it looks better than I envisioned it. Our neighbors have also told us how impressed they were with the work. The best part is we’ve got our so much more usable yard now, and we can actually see the bottom of the trunks of the oak trees that had been growing in the middle of those bushes.
All in all, I have no complaints and am extremely happy we went with Crazy Aaron to do this job.
