  Mark is awesome! He came out to do a free estimate within hours of my phone call. I had received three other estimates and his price was the best deal I found! He was available and arrived 1/2 hour early and finished all the work within two hours. My yard had not been touched in two years and looked like a swamp, with many weeds and full grown bushes. He removed everything cleaned up the weeds, put down mulch, seeded and was complete within two hours! The yard looks COMPLETELY different!!! I would def recommend Affordable Lawncare Landscaping!

  I was quoted a price of $1,600.00 for replacing some timber landscaping steps from another company. I called another that never got back to me. I discovered Affordable Lawncare Landscaping from a neighbor and in one day the job was complete and the cost was $600.00. I saved ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS. There is a reason the company is Voted - Best of Prince William - 2014! The owner Mark Clark is very nice and so is his employees. I will refer his company to my real estate clients without hesitation!

  I manage a campground in Prince William County and I needed an area leveled, weed block installed, and a retaining wall built for a new playground that I was having installed by a separate playground company. I signed my contract in October of 2018 paying half of the $8,500 estimate for materials and Bobcat rental. I explained I would need mulch as well but it would be on a separate contract. We agreed it would take 2 separate visits because after the area was regraded, the playground needed an opening that was accessible to bring the playground in. After the first visit, which was timely, Mark completed the grading and started part of the wall. It was at this point he asked for an additional $500 for more material and since the playground wasn't getting installed until December if I could pay him the balance and he would come back to finish in December. That was the worst mistake I made. December came. Mark was too busy, could never find time to come out. January came and he agreed to come out to finish the wall, which should have been done that day, but it wasn't. He also explained that Meadows Farms wouldn't be open until the end of February for fresh mulch to be made. Now we are in the second week of February and he came out a final time to finish the project and although he didn't bring enough lumber or any weed block(a costly expense I already paid for), he did bring 10 yards of mulch which wasn't part of this contract. I told him I had bought 30 yards of wood chips (way better than the mulch) from Parsons Farm and I wouldn't take his mulch because the project has been drug out too long and he never told me he would bring mulch out. I asked why he brought them when I hadn't signed a contract yet and his explanation was "I was going to do the work and work with you on the price." As if I wasn't a fool enough to pay in full for something that wasn't done, it would be worse to agree to work when I didn't even have a price. He said he needed to leave to find something to do with the trailer when I told him I wouldn't take the mulch, he left and never came back to do any work and has never contacted me. When someone pays you $9,000 to complete a project, they should be at the front of the line to get the work done. The next day I went out to Lowes, bought the wood and spikes and finished it myself. I never got my weed block though. He took advantage of my ability to pay in full and swindled me into believing he was a serious businessman that was honest. I would like to get a refund for the amount of the weed block that was never bought or installed, the cost of materials I purchased myself and the labor I put into finishing what I paid him to do, however I feel like this would never happen. This was a serious lesson for me and I will never use, or recommend them to anyone.
