Empire Yard Maintenance

The crew arrived at the house doing the landscaping. During the aeration they destroyed 3 sprinkler heads. They only completed half of the work before they left. They said they would return the next day to finish the job, well didn't. I just finished it myself after waiting 3 days for them to return. During the aeration they destroyed 3 sprinkler heads, I would not be upset about this but they did not tell me. I found out when I say large amounts of water coming out of the destroyed sprinkler heads, wasting water. Plus, they broke the back gate, the owner half hardly tried to fix but gave me an excuses why it was not fixable due to rust and weathering. The owner did not call me until a week had passed to collect the bill. He never followed up on the work and blamed his crew for the poor work. He took no responsibility. They did a terrible job, broke my gate, and sprinkles, and gave me a lots of excuses. I just paid him to get him out of my life but i will never use this company again!

Cleans up yard, weeds and just maintains. Removed sicks and leaves form the garden area. They're very busy hard to schedule at certain times of the year. They're good but absolutely perfect, its somethings they can't notice the more detailed things they're not good at. Prices are reasonable. They come when stated, very professional good workmen.

Went fine and the staff worked hard during the time they were there.

Vendor was unresponsive to scheduling. We'll look elsewhere and have requested our refund.

The service went fine. They do a good job. We have used them a few times through Angie's List. I would give them the highest rating. They were on time, did a good job and left.

They were punctual, professional, and did what they were hired to do.

The men answered questions and were very nice and worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves.

They asked me to turn on the sprinklers so they could see if there were any hidden sprinkler heads, which there were, which they marked, so they didn't get damaged. :-)

Two gentlemen arrived to do 7½ hrs. (= 15 staff hrs. total) of lawn maintenance. I had expected them at 10:00, to work 10-5:30, but they arrived a little late and stayed until 6, which was acceptable. We had felled trees (dead trees blown over by the wind), overgrowth, unwanted trees and plants, etc. etc. They came with all necessary tools and a large trailer for carting material away, but even that was not enough, and only one cart load was included in the price, so there was extra cost for a second trip to the dump. They made the second trip however after the work was completed, so it wasn't taken out of the work time. I told them that as an advocate of fair, humane labor practices I expected them to take 15 min. breaks in the morning and afternoon, said the house was available if they needed water, restroom, etc., but they plowed on through like yard grinding machines. When it was all over, about 95% of what I asked for was done, but that was simply due to the fact that they ran out of time. I would have been disappointed by that if I thought they had slacked off at all. All in all, top notch and highly recommendable.

It took them 2 hours and it was 2 people.

They were very professional. Gave estimate and did the work when expected. Were punctual and dependable.

The deal is for a much smaller job than we need done. They were very professional and easy to deal with.

Dave came out and gave us an estimate for yard cleanup and spring trimming plus adding crusher fines. His pricing was reasonable compared to others and he was very professional and punctual...which we liked. We hired him to do the cleanup and trimming and were very pleased. Some of the weeds that they sprayed have not died so we called him and he said they will come out and take care of them. His crew spent most of the whole day doing the work and hauled away the debris as well. We will definately use them again.

They were a little late but that's understandable/can't get every job on the dot. They were pleasant and went to work right away and were done in about an hour. Very professional and answered all my questions. Super nice, will use again.

Two members of the staff of Empire Yard Maintenance showed up at my house at 9 AM. The were cheerful and respectful. They went right to work blowing debris from the river rocks surrounding the tree in the front yard and from the smaller rocks around the lavender and red barberry bushes. They continued to the backyard to rake the lawn and blow debris from the flower beds. Then they put fertilizer on the lawn. They cleaned up all of the lawn trash and hauled it away. My landscaping is ready for spring now.

They arrived and were done in 15 minutes

It went very smoothly and they very friendly and professional.

Empire Yard Maintenance was above and beyond what we expected. They were punctual, had an incredible work ethic and were great to deal with. The owner, David, recommended that we pay a small sum extra to allow for a sod cutter. This paid off! The sod cutter cut the time of labor and made the very best use of the time. Antonio and Luis were so hardworking! My husband and I will certainly be contacting this company again with other projects.

Very professional - I subsequently used them for general clean-up, which they also did well.

We have a six unit complex with a central courtyard connecting the six and a large common area with lots of trees and natural vegetation. All the bushes in the courtyard were trimmed and the common area was cut back and prepared for spring.

Although they did arrive a little late, they were at the house all day and they did a great job. The fence looks even and they listened to my concerns on aesthetics. The yards are totally cleaned up and all the branches, trash and debris are gone.

Highly recommend this company! David, the owner, came out to our house to meet with my husband and I about the work that we wanted done. He gave us a very reasonable estimate, and a team was on site to perform the work within a few days. I really wish that I had taken before and after pictures, because Nathan and Jason did an amazing job. They were very professional and friendly, and accomplished everything that we had asked.

The project was completed in 2 days and the results were excellent. They implemented my wife's labyrinth design beyond her expectations. Antonio was an artist with the rock cutting saw. All the other work was done consistant with my high expectations.

Excellent work! Professional workers. Owner is very involved in estimates and understanding customer wants and needs. Cost is reasonable.

It all went fine. They are professional, thorough, and nice. I will be hiring them for the same services during the 2015 season.
