Not Happy - Looking To Change Yard/Lawn/Snow Maintenance
1/21/2018 at 4:20 PM

Hi everyone,

I am reasonably new to Brandon (last year) and was using a relatively big company to look after my yard care needs, lawn and snow etc. However due to not showing up, over billing and to be honest the list goes on!

So I’m looking for opinions on who to use, who is trustworthy in the city?

Ive used a big company and they have been awesome as always!
You should look to hire another company who is likely not insured & not safety/COR certified.

Try someone smaller. They seem to want to hold on to business more. Yes look for one insured. As for Safety Certified/COR for lawn care, yea I wouldn't waste my time making sure they had that either.

We have used Livingstone for 3 years now and i cannot say enough good about this LOCALLY owned and operated company. From snow clearing to lawn maintenance its always done.We have never called in to ask when they are coming.
We woke up after that one snow storm this year and driveway was already done and we live out of town. Great prices as well..1-204-578-5291

Steve's Yard Care

I can confidently recommend Steve's Yard Care. He's a newer player in this field and has done come solid jobs for me. Good communication, competitive rates (based on the quotes I've received)and most importantly shows up when expected to do the job. My two cents anyway...
