Total Lawn Care and Snow Plowing is a North Branford landscaping and snow plowing company that says it has over 25 years of experience serving residential and commercial customers in New Haven County. Its website lists a service area of Branford, North Branford, East Haven, Guilford, Madison and North Haven, offers free estimates, says it is insured, and lists HIC Reg #0661746. It holds 4.8 stars from 21 Google ratings. The latest Google review is a one-star from February 2026. The customer called at about 7:30 PM to inquire about residential snow plowing and said the person who answered began yelling at them for calling at that hour; they said they would not hire or recommend the company based on that call. The five-star accounts are older. In a 2022 review, a customer who had used the crew for five years of lawn maintenance said they never missed a week and fit in last-minute jobs. Another August 2022 review described a front-yard transformation with clear communication, a crew that removed and replaced lights, and a garden left clean. A May 2023 reviewer said Mike gave a quote when other companies were too busy and sent his crew out the same week, and in an October 2021 review a new customer described Mike laying out a plan of seeding and aerating, mowing, fall cleanup and shrub trimming. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0661746, held by Total Lawn Care and Snow Plowing, as inactive due to non-renewal.
I contacted this company to inquire about residential snow-plowing services and had a very concerning interaction. When I called at approximately 7:30 PM to ask about availability, the person who answered immediately began yelling at me for calling at that time rather than calmly explaining business hours or declining the request professionally. I fully understand that snow events are busy and stressful for service providers; however, respectful communication with potential customers is a basic professional expectation. The tone and hostility of this interaction were unexpected and inappropriate for a simple service inquiry. Based solely on this experience, I would not feel comfortable hiring or recommending this company. Professionalism and courtesy matter, especially during high-demand situations when customers are seeking help.
Great company I have to say when every company was to busy mike took the time to give us a quote & sent his crew out the same week. An absolutely hard working & professional company they take pride in their work/craft & the customer service is on another level.
Have utilized this team for the past 5 years for lawn maintenance. Never missed a week! Always VERY receptive when I ask for a last minute job, they find the time to work me in! 😀 Thanks again guys!
I could not be happier with how smooth and efficient the whole transformation of our front yard was. Communication was clear before project began and ongoing throughout the process. From the first conversation to completion of project was fast and efficient, yet thorough. Crew was respectful of property and existing structures by removing lights and replacing when done. Garden was cleaned up nicely and left without any mess left behind. End results were wonderful and exactly as agreed upon. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great end result, clear communication throughout and respectful crew. We couldn’t be happier with how quickly they came out and transformed our front yard.
Excellent customer service and a great crew! I highly recommend them! Our yard was a complete disaster and it would have taken me years to take care of myself. They had all the right equipment to get the job done quickly and still made it affordable.
