About
Working under a lawn care company, I built my skills. This is my ninth year working on my own and I pride myself on being the best. I have standard contracts that fit most people's needs, but I can tailor each one to your specific needs.
I enjoy getting into the job and the peace that come from working with my hands. I love to see the before and after from a great job.

I have reached out to Dick’s lawn care to clean up my lawn, and I was very satisfied with the service. They arrived on time, worked hard, and improved the overall appearance of my yard. I appreciated their professionalism and attention to detail.
I also hired him for snow removal services a couple of months ago, and I was just as satisfied with that experience. He arrived promptly after the snowfall and worked diligently to clear my driveway and walkways, ensuring safety.
I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for lawn care services or snow removal services in the future.”
Details: I need plowing now and for the rest of the season • I need salt and de-icing • Driveway • Walkway / path • Other surfaces • 500 - 1,000 sq ft • Flat • Moderate slope

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
my pricing is straight forward with no fees unless bills go unpaid. I offer discounts for referrals and a loyalty program.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
on average we transfer about 4 or 5 messages. I put together a contract that outlines every detail about what is going to happen and from there I work as autonomously as you want me to.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
There are a lot of options out there in this area, what I do is tailor each contract to exactly what each customer wants and I keep notes about changes and nuances. What I recommend is avoiding the cookie-cutter services that promote rock bottom prices. you may not be getting what you want and they may even use products that are cheaper that could damage your property.
