Apparently my neighbor hired Barr to clean io their yard for spring. Barr did this by implying blowing all the junk from the neighbors yard into mine. Great job much appreciated. Horrible company

I absolutely hate this company. If I could give Zero stars I would. They keep giving my phone number out and I keep getting calls from vendors asking for them. It’s been almost a year and they haven’t stopped. I’ve reached out before and they just ignored me. Judging from the other reviews I still won’t get a response either

They have broken our back door twice and won't stop walking through our garden, stepping on and pulling our plants. We've never been able to have any plants because they consistently kill them. Unfortunately I don't get a choice on their services because of the HOA. I wouldn't hire them if there was a gun to my head

I inherited Barr from the previous homeowner. When the irrigation system was opened they made sure there was water flowing and that was about it. Heads were problematic, aimed wrong, leaking. Later the system shorted out and I had to call them back 3 times to get it right. Then later a valve sprung a leak and was continuously running. My technician was nice but he can barely sit or kneel and this compromises his work.
I had multiple bare areas in my lawn, two large ones were for a swing set that was removed. Barr agreed to seed the areas. They did this one week AFTER they applied pre-emergent to my lawn, so none of it grew. I found this out later when I hired another company late in the year to resurrect my failing lawn.
I asked Barr to reimburse me for the seed application/labor charges and they refused. They offered to do it again, but I had different companies come and solve these problems for me as I had lost faith in this one.
Buyer beware. Also, irrigation technicians are not plumbers and can’t do your backflow testing so you have to have an additional plumber come out and charge you for that service as well.
I don’t usually post reviews, but when they refused to reimburse for the grass that wouldn’t grow because of the chemicals they applied themselves the week prior, I was motivated enough.

Jeff, the irrigation expert at Barr Landscaping, showcases unparalleled knowledge and skill in everything related to irrigation. His attention to detail and problem-solving abilities make him the go-to person for any irrigation needs. I highly recommend Barr Landscaping, especially with Jeff leading the way in irrigation excellence!

Exceptional professionalism with attention to detail - these folks respond diligently & are highly capable. I am new to this area and had no idea which lawn care service would deliver the best results. I chose to work with a local family owned service as I prefer to support local business owners & entrepreneurs. My yard was in sad shape as we had just purchased a home in Germantown Hills that needed much love & care - it now looks like a golf-course. Highly recommended!

Update 7/8/19: Came out as promised and the work was excellent. So 5 stars for the work but deduct 1 star for the lack of communication. We totally understand that the weather put everything behind schedule. It was just the lack of communication when we were told they would be coming out and then didn't come or contact us to let us know when the new time they would be coming out was. We always had to follow up with them. Nonetheless, the yard looks amazing and better than I imagined in my head so very happy with the results!

Original 7/2/19: They emailed us an said they were coming out never showed up. Then emailed us the following week an said they were coming out an never showed up or let us know they weren’t coming out. Put a deposit down an an worried they won’t show up. Very disappointed in the costumer service. I hope u c this owner.
