They were prompt and thorough in the estimates they gave us, which included options based on price, efficiency, rebates that were available, and add ons like a high efficiency filters and a humidifier. I also found them patient with my questions when I was evaluating the options. Their crew's work was neat and on time based on the schedule they gave me. They helped with the paperwork for the manufacturers rebates and state and federal tax rebates. They also have financing options (based on qualifying), like 6 months same as cash.		2011.06.12

I have an end unit townhouse with a little more lawn than some, and Mr. Smallwood charged me $30 per mowing last year. His fees for other lawn and yard services are also very reasonable. I have him do my annual mulching, bush trimming, etc., and he's also done some simple landscaping and plant replacement for me. (He also provides snow shoveling services during the winter.) You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer, more honest and reliable service provider than Mr. Smallwood and his crew.		MHI: Recommended
