Landscape and Snow Maintenance

This might be a topic most HOA has come across. Do you flip-flop between landscapers every season or two? I wanted to see how your experience with them has been. I have several HOAs here in New Jersey and upstate New York, and with my own personal experience I had to switch from quite a few.

Then, a few years ago, I finally found an excellent landscaper who excels when it comes to servicing a HOA. Has anyone else had the same luck?

PS. We've sign multi-year contracts with C&M Landscape. You can find them under nj landscaper

SteveS5 - My HOA/COA is in northern new jersey as well. We don't use your landscaper but have stuck with another one for 2.5 years and signed a multi-year landscaping and snow contract. This is good for us because we have more leverage with the landscaper. However, what I dislike about our landscaper's workers is their supervisement of certain practices. Such as using a weed whacker on three terraced lawns. The lawns require a regular push mower to be lifted up or down a couple feet. I wrote the landscape specs. to bid and strictly prohibited weed whackers from being used on lawns except for finishing. What happens is too much of the blade of grass is removed exposing the lawn (scalping). This is unsightly and can promote very poor grass health due to exposure. I blame the onsight management company and the landscape committee for not caring enough to check up on and enforce the contractor to comply with the specs.
