This company did not complete all expectations and it took multiple trips in order to complete simple tasks. They were over priced and did not do the work that I paid for.

AFTER INITIAL CLEAN-UP, CUSTOMER CALLED TO LET US KNOW THAT WE DIDN'T DO A GOOD JOB. WE HAD A SUPERVISOR COME OUT TO CHECK THINGS. WE IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED A RE-DO TO TRIM THE BUSHES AND BLOW THE DEBRIS OUT. THE STUMP WAS GROUND TO 6"... WE TELL CUSTOMERS IT WILL BE GROUND 6-8", CUSTOMER WANTED IT GROUND DOWN ADDITIONAL 2" TO BE AT 8". ADDITIONALLY, WHEN STUMP GRINDING, WE HAD CUT A LANDSCAPE LIGHT WIRE THAT WAS EMBEDDED IN THE STUMP. WE FIXED THAT AT THE SAME TIME. CHECKING DRIPS WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE CONTRACT THE CLIENT SIGNED... NOT SURE WHY SHE THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE DONE. THE IRRIGATION THAT WE DID DO WAS INSTALL A NEW TIMER AND SET IT FOR HER. YES IT DID TAKE MULTIPLE TRIPS BECAUSE OF THE NEED FOR A RE-DO. CLIENT TOLD US AT THE TIME OF THE RE-DO THAT SHE WAS HAPPY THAT WE CAME OUT AND MADE SURE SHE WAS HAPPY WITH OUR WORK, SINCE MOST COMPANIES WOULDN'T GO BACK OUT TO CHECK THE WORK AND TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. ALL WORK THAT WAS ON THE CONTRACT AND PAID FOR WAS DONE, EVEN THOUGH WE HAD TO GO OUT TWICE TO RECTIFY A FEW ISSUES.

Initially, we had decided to go with another company whose quote was substantially less than that of CYC. After the company we had selected failed to meet their commitments, we canceled the contract and contacted CYC. Mike, the CYC salesman who originally quoted our project, gave us new start and completion dates and the work began as scheduled. The project involved removing the old concrete sidewalk and front door landing. The work went as scheduled until the work crew discovered that the landing at the front door was 8" thick. This delayed the excavation for roughly 3 hours, since it was necessary to bring in a concrete saw to cut the concrete into sections before it could be removed. The crew assigned to the project was always on time and worked hard while on the job (no leaning on shovels with this group). Robert, the crew leader was resourceful and polite and always kept us informed of progress.
Description of Work: Removing concrete sidewalk, excavating and leveling the site, installing flagstone walkway from driveway to front door, insuring that the finished walkway was level and drained properly away from the house.

THIS GOES TO SHOW YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. THE COMPANY THAT WAS CHEAPER UNFORTUNATELY DIDN'T LIVE UP TO THE CLIENTS' EXPECTATIONS AND THEY HADN'T EVEN STARTED THE JOB. NOT ONLY DID CYC WORK HARD TO DO A JOB WE COULD BE PROUD OF, WE EVEN ENCOUNTERED OBSTACLES THAT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN KNOWN DURING THE INITIAL QUOTE AND WE STILL HAD THE INTEGRITY AND COMMITMENT NOT TO ADD ON ANY ADDITIONAL CHARGES. TOO BAD THAT THIS CLIENT DIDN'T CONSIDER THIS WHEN HE GAVE US A "C" ON PRICING.

We contacted CYC Landscaping via e-mail through their website. We were contacted by Heather over the phone the next day & she scheduled a free consolation with their designer Mark. Mark was prompt for our scheduled appointment which was 5 days after our e-mail. He spent spent over 2 hours assisting us in a design, suggesting plants and trees and answering all of our questions since we just moved from the Midwest and are not familiar with desert plants and irrigation systems. He worked up the quote and gave us a price on the spot. We were very happy with his professionalism and the price was acceptable, so, he called their office and scheduled the work to begin 12 days later. The crew showed up on the appointed day and most of the material was dropped off the night before. Todd was very courteous and friendly and they completed the job in 6 working days, which was 1 day earlier than Mark had promised. Two weeks after the job was completed, Kyle came out to follow up on the work.
Description of Work: CYC Landscaping assisted us in the design of our landscaping for the backyard for our new home. CYC installed an irrigation system with separate drip lines for varying watering requirements of the trees, shrubs and a garden. They installed a retaining wall and added dirt and top soil to create a garden area. Our existing concrete patio was covered and enlarged with pavers and a walkway extended out to an additional circular paver seating area. Additionally, trees and shrubs were planted and landscape felt was applied as a weed barrier before the rock was spread.

I called them to try and schedule an estimate and mentioned that the work I wanted done was for a courtyard area and back patio area. I was interrupted mid-sentence by the receptionist who said that the project was too small for them and the minimum they would charge be $300 anyway. I found them to be rather rude and condescending not withstanding their offer of a "free estimate". I'm amazed at how this company received an Angie's List award, which they tout on their website.

I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW THE PHONE CONVERSATION WENT, BUT I DO KNOW THAT OUR APPOINTMENT SETTERS ALWAYS LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT OUR MINIMUMS ARE. I HAVE PERSONALLY HEARD OUR GIRLS BE VERY POLITE EVEN WHEN BEING SWORN AT OR TOLD THAT THEY ARE STUPID OR HAVE 5 OTHER LINES ON HOLD. WE WILL ALWAYS TRY TO BE PROFESSIONAL, POLITE AND COURTEOUS. ALL OF OUR ESTIMATES ARE FREE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE DON'T WANT TO SEND OUR SALES STAFF OUT TO QUOTES THAT ARE NOT THE TYPE OF WORK WE DO OR WHEN THE CUSTOMER SOUNDS NEGATIVE AT THE BEGINNING OF OUR RELATIONSHIP OR ABOUT THE $300 MINIMUM. I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHY THE CUSTOMER FELT OUR STAFF WAS RUDE OR CONDESCENDING AND WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY MISUNDERSTANDINGS.

I tried to get an estimate from this company, but the customer service was terrible. They were very nice and set an appointment for someone to come out and give me an estimate for some work at my commercial property in Mesa. I told them it was a small office complex when I made the appointment. They called me the day before to confirm the appointment. The day of the appointment, nobody showed up or called. After hurrying back to my office for the appointment and waiting for a half hour, I called their office and asked what happened. They told me the appointment was canceled because it's a commercial property. I felt that if that's the case, someone should have told me when I made the appointment and not wasted my time. And certainly, they should have called me to say the appointment was canceled. I was very disappointed at the time I wasted and now I'm still at square one.

WE CAN ONLY APOLOGIZE FOR THESE UNFORTUNATE EVENTS. WE HAVE 2 NEW APPOINTMENT SETTERS IN OUR OFFICE IN TRAINING. WE DO HANDLE A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF COMMERCIAL WORK, BUT AT THIS TIME WE ARE NOT QUOTING ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL JOBS. THE PERSON WHO SET THE APPOINTMENT THOUGHT THAT WE COULD DO THIS JOB. THIS WAS THE SAME PERSON WHO CONFIRMED THE APPOINTMENT THE DAY BEFORE, AS IS OUR POLICY. UNFORTUNATELY, THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT, IT WAS BROUGHT UP THAT THIS WAS A COMMERCIAL JOB AND SINCE WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING NEW COMMERCIAL JOBS AT THIS TIME, WE DECIDED TO CANCEL THE QUOTE. THE CLIENT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CALLED THAT MORNING AND TOLD OF THE CANCELLATION. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. IT COMPLETELY FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS. WE ARE VERY SORRY THAT THE APPOINTMENT SETTER WASN'T 100% AWARE OF OUR POLICIES AND EVEN MORE UPSET THAT YOUR TIME WAS WASTED. WE KNOW HOW STRESSFUL IT IS WAITING AROUND FOR NO-SHOWS AND WE SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR THIS MIS-COMMUNICATION.

CYC LANDSCAPING TRIES TO RESPOND TO EMAIL REQUESTS THE SAME DAY WE RECEIVE THEM. RESPONSES ARE SENT MONDAY - FRIDAY, 8AM - 5PM. USUALLY AN EMAIL IS RESPONDED TO WITH AN EMAIL LETTING THE CUSTOMER KNOW WE WILL BE CALLING THEM SHORTLY. WITHIN 24 HOURS WE CALL THE CUSTOMER ON THE PHONE NUMBER THAT THEY PROVIDE ON OUR "CONTACT US" FORM. WE WILL TRY TO PHONE THEM UP TO 2 TIMES, LEAVING MESSAGES BOTH TIMES. IF WE CANNOT REACH THEM WE WOULD HOPE THEY WOULD RETURN OUR PHONE CALLS DURING OUR BUSINESS HOURS. UNFORTUNATELY, IT LOOKS LIKE THE MEMBERS EMAIL FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS AND WE DID NOT RESPOND. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THIS LACK OF COMMUNICATION. OUR APPOINTMENTS ARE SCHEDULED MON-FRI, 8AM-5PM. WE CANNOT ACCOMODATE WEEKEND OR LATE NIGHT APPOINTMENTS. WHEN WE CAN SCHEDULE A SALESPERSON TO MEET WITH THE CLIENT DEPENDS ON WHERE THE CLIENTS HOUSE IS, WHAT THE CLIENTS SCHEDULE IS, AND WHAT WORK NEEDS TO BE QUOTED. OUR OFFICE TEAM NOT ONLY ANSWERS PHONES, BUT SCREENS CALLS TO DETERMINE IF OUR COMPANY CAN DO THE WORK. IF THE CUSTOMER WANTS WORK DONE THAT IS UNSAFE, CUTS CORNERS, GOES AGAINST OUR BUSINESS PRINCIPLES OR GUARANTEES SYSTEM FAILURE OR PLANT DEATH, WE WOULD RATHER TURN DOWN THE JOB THAN DO WORK WE CANNOT STAND BEHIND. WE ARE UNCERTAIN WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED WITH THIS CUSTOMER, PERHAPS IT WAS A DIFFICULT SCHEDULE TO WORK AROUND OR THE CUSTOMER WANTED WORK DONE THAT WE DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING.

My husband and I had CYC Landscaping, who we understand used to be called Compleye Yard Care, come and quote us on a complete backyard package in our new home. The sales representative, Mark, was friendly, punctual and extremely knowledgeable. We told him we didn't want a desert style backyard and he advised us on suggested tree choices, flowering plants and bushes, paver patio options, lightscaping and his office designed a beautiful tropical waterfall for the western corner of the yard. The installation took only four days and CYC Landscaping's employees were super professional, courteous, and hard working. They cleaned up their work of any trash every evening and didn't blast a boom box radio while they worked so they weren't disturbing our neighbors' peace and quiet. The final product is just STUNNING and the neighbor's have already told us their very jealous of our new lush tropical yard! We're so happy we've hired them to enclose and landscape our courtyard later this month, too!
Description of Work: CYC Landscaping roto-tilled and fertilized our yard to prep it, then they installed sprinklers and irrigation drips. Then they installed three trees and numerous flowering plants and bushes. They laid out a fantastic 15' circular paver patio with built-in side benches and built a 4' pondless tropical waterfall and installed tons of gravel, several hundred square feet of sod and three flagstone pathways. We basically hired them to take our yard from bare, hard packed dirt to trees, grass, flowering bushes, a patio and a waterfall.

The people that did the work were good. I'm sure this was a mistake but I felt like they should have corrected it, but they refused.
Description of Work: I had to have an irrigation system installed. They installed it, there are two circuits. Some of the nozzles were pointing in the wrong direction, which they fixed. The timing on both of the circuits was wrong. I was told they would charge me for the service. They had both of the circuits on the same timing parameters. I had another company fix this problem.

AFTER INSTALLING 2 DRIP ZONES (ONE FOR TREES, ONE FOR PLANTS) AND SETTING THE TIMER TO WHAT WE NORMALLY RECOMMEND, THE CUSTOMER REQUESTED WE SET THE TIMER DIFFERENTLY (TO HER SPECIFICATIONS). AT THAT TIME WE TOLD HER THAT WE DID NOT RECOMMEND SETTING THE TIMER AS SUCH, BUT SHE INSISTED. ONE WEEK LATER THE CUSTOMER CALLED TO SAY WE NEEDED TO RE-SET THE TIMER, BECAUSE HER CITRUS WERE GETTING TOO MUCH WATER. WE TOLD THE CUSTOMER THAT IT WAS SET TO HER SPECIFICATIONS SO IN ORDER TO COME OUT YET AGAIN TO SET THE TIMER, THERE WOULD BE A $75 FEE. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THE CUSTOMER WANTED US TO CHANGE HOW WE PROPERLY SET UP IRRIGATION AND WE DID GO OUT TO HER HOUSE 3 TIMES TO SPECIFICALLY, IN ESSENCE, SET HER TIMER. THIS 4TH TIME WAS JUST TOO MUCH. THE "NOZZLES" THAT WERE POINTING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION WERE DRIP HEADS AT THE TREES THAT THE OWNER INSISTED WE MOVE TO THE TRUNK RATHER THAN WHERE WE HAD THEM (AT THE DRIP LINE OF THE TREES). BECAUSE WATERING AT THE TRUNK CAUSES MANY ISSUES (ROOT BOUND, ROOT ROT, DOESN'T ENCOURAGE ROOTS TO SPREAD WHICH MEANS TREE CAN BLOW OVER MORE EASILY), WE HAD HER SIGN A WAIVER THAT WE WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HEALTH/SAFETY OF THE TREE DUE TO HER WATERING HABITS.

The job was started on time and completed as per schedule. Mark did the initial design, and the work was carried out by the companies workers, none of it was subcontracted out. The teams that came around to carry out the work were tremendous, always communicated with us, and checked all the time to make sure things were up to our liking. The foreman for 90% of the work was Freddie who did an outstanding job. Nick finished the job, as we decided to add additional rocks and plants extra to the original design. Again, Nick and his team were just great. I also want to mention the staff at the office who were very courteous and helpful. Finally, Mark, who is one of the owners, was extremely helpful and honest. I highly recommend Complete Yard Care to anyone contemplating a landscaping project. Because of their hard work and finished product, we have hired them to carry out the weekly or bi-weekly yard maintenance for our property. Great job guys.

Called them because their flyer said they would show up when they said they would which has been a thorn in our side since we bought our house. They did. In fact Mike was early. Not only did Mike take careful notes on our thoughts for the side yard project he gave very useful and good advice on other ways to go. The quote was high, but we've been burned by low ball quotes a lot now so we bit the bullet. The job started 1 day early and lasted only 3 days, 1 day less then estimated. The final result is TREMENDOUS to look at. A solid walkway in our side yard bordered by pavers and rocks as requested. They are now our go-to on large projects. May post pics in a few days.
Description of Work: Laying out cement walkway, pavers and rocks, killing weeds.
Overall the experience was good. They arrived on time and finished on schedule. I had one big problem with the sod they laid, they did not level the ground before putting in the new sod. I talked to Kyle, and he agreed it was unsatisfactory, they came out the next week and pulled up all the sod and redid it.

While the crew (three guys) arrived on time, they went through the yard with blowers and chain saws much like I have seen by others, but at much less cost. Unfortunately all of the dirt and leaves were blown into the pool. Potted plants were knocked over, trimming was done as opposed to pruning, and dirty rakes were used to pull out the leaves that were floating on top of the pool. I have plenty of pool scoops that would have been much preferred to the dirty rakes. And the dirt lay in drifts at the bottom. After two hours the crew was gone and the pool was a disaster. The pool sweep stopped working because it was clogged with a small grapefruit that had been blown into the pool. It took me three hours to clean up after spending $600 and finding that minimal work had been done. It was no where close to measuring up against what they had committed to do. I called to complain and cancel further service, and I received the following, "OK, bye".
Description of Work: Routine yard maintenance was performed, but it was not what was advertised. Their marketing rep gave a totally different story of the work that would be performed, with emphasis on significant amounts of trimming and pruning. I have a pool which I indicated needed to be left as clean as it was when the job was started. I have a lot of shrubbery and greenery in my yard with considerable amounts of pruning work required every couple of weeks, so the $650 fee for a first time call appeared reasonable, particularly with the customized pruning that was done and not just a hack job with a chain saw.

PER CUSTOMERS REQUEST, WE DIDN'T TOUCH ANYTHING UNDER 6' TALL. WHICH MEANS WE DID NOT TRIM ANY BUSHES UNDER 6' TALL. CUSTOMER REQUESTED THAT ALL BUSHES AND TREES RETAIN A NATURAL LOOK, SO WE DID NOT SHAPE/ROUND THEM. OUR CREW USES GAS POWERED TRIMMERS, CHAINSAWS AND HAND SAWS FOR TREE TRIMMING. IF WE WERE TO USE HAND PRUNERS WE WOULD BE THERE ALL DAY AND THE PRICE WOULD BE TRIPLED! BLOWING IS TO CLEAN UP NOT ONLY WHAT WE'VE TRIMMED FROM THE TREES, BUT ALSO TO STIR UP DEAD LEAVES LODGED IN ROCKS, ETC. WE TRY OUR BEST NOT TO BLOW INTO POOLS, BUT AS THE NATURE OF WIND, SOME WILL ALWAYS GO INTO THE POOL. IF A CUSTOMERS POOL SCOOP IS IN THE OPEN, WE WILL USE IT TO REMOVE ALL ITEMS FLOATING AND ANY LARGE DEBRIS WE CAN SEE ON THE BOTTOM. PERHAPS THE CREW COULD NOT LOCATE WHERE THE POOL SCOOPS WERE. IN LIEU OF POOL SCOOPS, WE WOULD USE RAKES TO SCOOP LEAVES AND DEBRIS. THESE THIN METAL RAKES DON'T HOLD DIRT AND WE REMOVE DEBRIS FROM THEM BEFORE WE PUT THEM INTO A POOL. BETTER TO USE RAKES THAN TO LEAVE A MESS BEHIND. THE DIRT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL WAS MOST LIKELY THE RESULT OF BLOWING THE DUSTY ROCKS NEARBY...AS THE DUST SETTLED, SOME MOST LIKELY SETTLED ON THE WATER AND SUNK TO THE BOTTOM. THE DRIFTS WOULD BE CAUSED BY THE POOL PUMP BEING ON. WITH THE PUMP ON, WE OFTEN CAN'T SEE THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL, THUS WE MISSED THE SMALL GRAPEFRUIT. IF CUSTOMERS ARE UNHAPPY, WE'LL RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IF THEY ARE RUDE OR THERE IS NO PLEASING THEM, WE'RE WILLING TO LET THAT CLIENT GO.

Disappointed doesn t even begin to describe my feelings about Complete Yard Care, but I m trying to keep this clean. In the process of a major cleanup, they cut out $600 worth of plants (conservative estimate) from the landscape without permission because they couldn t get the weeds out around them. Well, I question that, but what's done is done. When I requested compensation, they offered one free maintenance (worth $60). I took it because I was tired of trying to deal with them. Now that I m trying to schedule the maintenance, I can t get them to call me back to schedule at time. The woman who answered the phone even questioned my free maintenance offer from the original rep. I had to give them a decent review, even after the disaster, because they cleaned up very well, and took away all of the rubbish that I asked them to. I would not, however, ever recommend them to anyone. I have an extremely bitter taste about the whole situation.
Description of Work: Major weed removal, Refuse removal, Demolition and removal of playhouse, Mow and edge removal & Tree trimmiing.

Response from CYC Landscaping
THE REASON PLANTS WERE REMOVED IS BECAUSE THE SALESPERSON WROTE THE WORK ORDER AS SUCH. CUSTOMER SIGNED THE WORK ORDER. CUSTOMER DIDN'T CALL TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE UNTIL 3 DAYS AFTER THE CLEAN-UP SERVICE. SALESPERSON CALLED THE CUSTOMER BACK THE NEXT DAY AND LEFT A MESSAGE. DID THE SAME THE NEXT DAY. FINALLY REACHED THE CUSTOMER 4 DAYS AFTER HER COMPLAINT FIRST CAME IN. CUSTOMER WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE REMOVAL OF SOME PENSTIMON AND DAHLIA'S. CUSTOMER STATED "THE BACK LOOKS GREAT AND THE CLEAN- UP LOOKS GREAT"...SHE STATED SHE WAS "HAPPY OVER ALL". TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT, WE OFFERED A FREE MAINTENANCE. CUSTOMER HAPPILY ACCEPTED. ONE MONTH LATER CUSTOMER CALLED FOR HER FREE MAINTENANCE. AS "FREE MAINTENANCE" IS NOT CUSTOMARY, IT WAS ONLY NATURAL FOR OUR APPOINTMENT SETTER TO SAY SHE'D HAVE TO CHECK WITH MANAGEMENT ON THAT "FREE" MAINTENANCE. ONCE SHE LOOKED IN THE FILE, SHE SAW THE NOTE THAT WE WERE INDEED GIVING HER A FREE MAINTENANCE (YES, A $60 VALUE). SHE WAS VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT WHAT SHE WANTED DONE DURING THE MAINTENANCE AND WE COMPLIED TO ALL OF HER REQUESTS. NEVER DURING ALL OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE CLIENT DID WE EVER REALIZE SHE WAS THIS UPSET WITH US. HER EXACT WORDS TO US WERE "HAPPY OVERALL" AND "BACKYARD LOOKS GREAT!" WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON MAKING OUR CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCES AS PLEASANT AS POSSIBLE. HAD WE KNOWN THERE WERE DEEPER ISSUES, WE WOULD HAVE DONE OUR BEST TO RIGHT THEM.

Their representative showed up to give us a quote the time and day he said he would! This is a rarity we've been finding in Phoenix! The work was performed the day it was suppose to and everything was done EXACTLY as we wanted it. The yard/grass was IMMACULATE. We found their name on a flyer on our front door step and what caught our attention was their logo ''we'll actually show up!'' Not sure if they are price competitive, but when punctuality and quality of work are, it's definitely worth it.
