Common questions

Who should I ask about design help if I'm not sure what I want?
Ed works on landscape concepts; the team can then partner you with a designer to refine options within your budget and adjust as needed.
How are job sites left at the end of each day?
Reviewers consistently report exceptional daily cleanup and debris removal, with neighbours often commenting on how tidy the property remains despite heavy earthwork.
Does Hansen offer snow removal alongside landscaping?
Yes. Existing landscaping customers report 5+ years of prompt, competitively priced snow service, though response times on multi-property accounts have occasionally lagged during heavy snowfall in recent years.

Strong grassroots loyalty centres on named technicians like Samer Moussa and Kelly Prince, who earn consistent praise for friendliness, knowledge, and attention to detail. Mosquito control and lawn greening draw particular enthusiasm. Offsetting these wins are pockets of frustration: multi-week response delays, no-shows despite promises, and billing friction when cancelling, though individual field staff generally perform well. TruGreen's lawn-care packages (TruMaintenance, TruHealth, TruComplete) and specialised services like aeration, root fertilization, and emerald ash borer treatment anchor their offer. Their website lists an introductory tree and shrub inspection at $49.95. Reviewers note technician Samer commonly pre-calls 30 minutes ahead and handles follow-up pest issues (cinch bugs, crane fly) promptly, but administrative bottlenecks-voicemail, email, scheduling coordination-repeatedly undermine the field team's good work.

Most jobs result in solid interlock and patio finishes with crews showing up promptly and treating properties well. The catch: pay cash only, and if something goes wrong-wrong sand colour, sloppy cleanup, incomplete work-the company goes silent and won't make it right.

Most weeks run smooth, with crews praised for politeness and neat edging. Long-term clients describe less lawn stress and yard transformation. However, recent reviews flag scheduling flakiness and late-notice cancellations that force repeated follow-ups. When staff show up, work quality shines; when they don't, the burden falls back on the homeowner. Named crews like Eshawn, Sean, Damien, and Chris earn specific praise for professionalism and care. Spring cleaning and soil work impress. Fair pricing and communication hold steady for satisfied clients, yet some feel deprioritized and stuck cleaning up after rushed visits.
