  2-17-2021 Rich, I just wanted to thank you again for helping me with the driveway snowplowing request on a very short notice. I normally do my driveway with my snow blower, but I had a slip and fall in my house 4 days ago hurting my right side ribs pretty bad. You came to my rescue and plowed me out. Thank you so much..... I think you have been doing my lawn care service for around 20 years now!! Your crew has always been professional and my lawn, driveway, decks and back wooded area always looks awesome when done. Best looking lawn care service in the neighborhood!! I highly recommend you and your company's services; you get the job done, on time every time. Best Regards, Evans

  Me and my fiance just purchased our brand new built home in January 2020, There was no landscaping at all and we had nothing but dirt and debris all around our property. We needed to get landscaping done by the summer to meet our county's policy for full occupancy. I was referred to two landscapers from family members who use them. Both of them each praise the quality of work by the referral they have given me. I had the pleasure of speaking with Ritch, who is the owner of Barone Aerating & Lawn Services Inc. When I had met with Ritch for my initial price estimate of the job, when he began to speak about what he would do, I already knew that Barone Aerating & Lawn Service was the company I was going to give for my landscaping project. Ritch is very professional and very detailed in everything he will do for you. His communication goes above and beyond of what normal companies do as far as communication goes. There never was one time that I was not kept in the loop of what was happening and he kept me posted all the way to the end. He knew that me and my fiance were new to all of this and perfectly explained everything they're doing to prep for the landscaping project such as getting the big tractors to even out and rake up the dirt, to killing all the weeds, to giving it the nutrients it needs and etc... I loved all the detail of explanation and everything he was going to do for us. I did not have the same conversation with the other referral which is why I was hesitant with the other individual, but with Ritch, I knew exactly what I was getting and how it was being done! The project I needed done was landscaping for almost 6,000 square feet worth, I needed SOD installed on the front and sides of my house, and we would seed the whole backyard. On top of that I also opted to have stone installed under my deck patio and also have my gutters buried. I also gave him the job on May 12th with a deadline of June 1st. Not only did he meet my deadline, but the final outcome was spectacular. I went from having no grass to a full front yard full of it! He told me how to care for it and how often to water and everything that came along with the whole project, after all it is landscaping, you have to make sure you are watering everything properly and taking care and monitoring the work that was done. Ritch let me know how to take care all of it. Even more I still get messages from him checking in on me to see how everything is so far coming along with the growth of my SOD, and let me tell you, I love it!!!! I really hope that people take the time to read this review, everything in here is genuine and honest. Also I want to diminish and prove these other reviews wrong, by no means at all was Barone Aerating & Lawn Service rude, disrespectful or even being a bully. If anything they were the total OPPOSITE. Most professional people and company I have ever worked with and for anyone that has the pleasure of doing business with them would be considered an honor since Barone Aerating can cover only a few local communities, if you live in a community that Barone Aerating & Lawn Service works in, do your self a favor and give them a call, trust me, you will not regret it!!! Thank you for all the work you and your men put into our first home Ritch, me and my fiance love the work you guys did and are very happy we went with you for the job. We can definitely count on your for anything else we would need in the future in regards to landscaping. Sincerely a happy first time home owner!

  Rude, disrespectful and a bully. I asked this company to provide me with snow plowing services for the month of December 2018, while I was in the process of moving into the house that I closed on on November 30, 2018. The agreement was for $45 per plow. There was no snow in December 2018. In February 2019, I received a bill for $45 stating services were rendered on November 24, 2018 (the big Thanksgiving snow). I called a few times and finally did leave a message. I received no return call and finally emailed explaining why I would not be paying the bill. I received a quick response threatening me with a lien on my house, as well as legal action, and accusations that I did in fact hire this company a full 5 days before I received their contact information from the previous owner and a full 6 days before I even owned the house. The email exchange I had with this company was unprofessional, rude, threatening and completely illiogical. Beware!
