JVS Landscaping in Westwood, New Jersey applied chemicals on my lawn after I expressly told them not to. After signing the contract with them, we bought a dog. Because we did not want our dog (who stays in the backyard) eating grass that contains chemicals, we informed these landscapers not to use any chemicals. When they came for spring cleanup (unannounced and without any prior notice as usual with this company), I immediately notified the one English-speaking employee not to use any chemicals. He replied that it was just a spring cleanup and they would not be applying any chemicals. When I returned to the house later that morning, there were flags up in our lawn stating to stay off the lawn because chemicals were placed there. When I called up to complain to the owner of the firm, he did not care—he simply said it was called for in the contract and then said we would be charged for the application of the chemicals.
In addition to this event, JVS Landscapers has a very disturbing billing practice. They have called up and left messages on a Friday night saying that if they do not hear back from them by the following morning that our credit card would be billed because they wanted to bill early.
Please do not use JVS Landscapers as there are plenty of other quality landscapers in the area.
