I bought a deal for 15 labor hours to use on my guard because the weeds were overgrown in the back and front. The The crew showed up on time and were very polite. They ask what I wanted, I gave them a short tour, and they set to work.They worked nonstop on my large yard and it was done in the allotted time. I'm very pleased with the results and I had a good interaction with the crew. They were professional and friendly. I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Cleaned my front and back yards of weeds and hauled it away.

The brothers showed up on time and charged by the hour. The pricing was very reasonable and did not cost me an arm like so many other companies have estimated me for the removal of two trees and some yard clean up. They did the big job first and then used the remaining time to cut back my overgrown wisteria and trim the tops of some bushes. It took them a little over one hour. I was very pleased at how diligently they worked. And now I dont have two eye sores in my backyard that look like halloween trees. Thanks guys!

I was pretty much satisfied with them but they were supposed to be on a maintenance. They said they will put me on a maintenance plan and they didn't really follow through on that and then we had some issues with the billing. I was just not very happy. I had to call them a couple of times.

Empire yard maintenance had a special on Angie's List for $299 for 8 hours of yard work and brush removal. When I called them and told them I had approximately 1/4 acre of brush to be removed, suddenly I was told that I would have to go by an hourly rate of $75. So, Empires advertisement is misleading. I agreed to do 5 hours of work. However, the two guys-both named Tony showed up a half hour late with a tiny hauling cage, that was already full of someone elses trash. So, they had to go to the dump to get rid of that. Then when they came back, they started complaining about having to go to the dump a lot of times, and that would cost them a lot of gas, etc. So, they called their boss, David Peltz and complained to him about this-although I had already worked out an agreement concerning everything I wanted done the day before with David-to include hauling away a butterfly bush, and a small baby tree that had been planted prior to my moving into the house by the previous owner. Both guys had an attitude the entire time, because I told them I wasn't going to pay more, and would just get a friend to haul everything away instead of paying them way more money than what was already agreed upon. They were also deliberately slow, and did not do the entire 1/4 acre in the alotted time, and even finished a half hour early. I had to fill in the holes left by the bush and small tree removal, and get a friend to haul off the brush with only one drive to the dump, because he had the appropriate sized hauling cage. I probably will never use these guys again, because they just were not very good.
Description of Work: I contacted Empire Yard Maintenance to clean-up and haul away brush.

Response from Empire Yard Maintenance
There isnt a whole lot that is correct in this review. [member name removed] states that she was told that she has to.pay $75 per hour...the reason we told her that rate is because that is the same rate being charged in the sprecial (2 guys for 1 hour/2 man hours). She thought that she might have less than the 8 man hours so I told her that we could just do the work at the hourly stated in the special so that way if it took less than 8 man hours she would save some money. The deal also states that we haul away 1 trailer load of debris at no extra charge which [member name removed] stated that it should all fit in one trailer. When my guys got to her house the found a large yarf covered in 3 foot tall tumble weeds as well as an.8 foot tall shrub in which Mrs. Blair described to me on the phone as "a small butterfly bush to be removed". Needless to say that her description of the work was way underestimated and that we honered all the prices we quoted. There should be some pictures attached to this review soon so you can see what her description of some small weeds and small bush is. David

They were on time, polite, did everything that I needed done and I am extremely pleased
Description of Work: Removed dead bushes, pulled weeds, trimmed overgrown vines and cleaned entire yard. They were very professional.
Everything went fine and it looks very nice. There are a couple spots that need to be filed down on the wall and one cap stone needs to be glued. I think they've forgotten that I brought these items to their attention at the time but they were very busy.

Empire was able to schedule the cleanup on my day off with very short notice. Two very pleasant and professional young men (Tony and Paul) showed up exactly on time and evaluated the work that I needed done. They did an exceptional job of trimming and cleaning and making the yard look well maintained. I was very impressed with the amount of work they were able to accomplish and their diligence in completing all of the tasks.

First I can't say enough about the courtesy and responsiveness of both the estimator and the crew. They took time to work with us and answered our questions thoroughly. The workers didn't have any issue with the constant interruptions from our toddlers nor our dog. Some of the best service I've received. The work: They did great. Everything is living, green, and done well. They worked with our marginal selections of stone and figured out a way to make everything work together.
Description of Work: Installed shrubs, trees, and stone which we provided and installed sod.

David came over to look at my yard and gave me an estimate on the spot - very reasonable for the work that needed to be done. We scheduled a time and date for the work to begin on the spot as well. Workers arrived timely and went over the work that was going to be done. End result was awesome! We are very happy with the quality and look of the work that was performed.
Description of Work: Removed sheetrock and mortar that had previously been installed incorrectly (not by Empire) and replaced it with new sheetrock. Dug up a tree that had been planted with the burlap (not by Empire), removed the burlap, and re-positioned the tree. Added an additional 1/2 yard of gravel to backyard. Created step stones from old sheet rock that leads from backyard gate to driveway.

Description of Work: I purchased 8 hours of yard maintenance through Angie's list. I was contacted within a few hours of purchase to set a time for them to come to my home and do the job.

Overall very well. They were a great help in getting the yard back into a maintenance mode setup. Initially not prepared to trim juniper. They did come back and trim it away from the house. Maybe could be a little cleaner on the side with the fence, but overall it was satisfactory.

Overall, it was a good experience. They could have been more thorough though. They did the work really fast, but left some stuff behind. They took most of the weeds with them, but not all of them. For the price is was really worthwhile.

The service providers were very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We were not aware that the house we purchased came with an irrigation/watering system and they took the time after the appointment to explain it to us and set it up so that our plants would be watered and optimal times.We were quite pleased with they way they worked and their helpful suggestions for our yard. We will be using this service for all of of our yard maintenance.

The job went well. Mike and AJ were the particular folks doing the work for Empire, and they did a great job. They took care to mark the sprinkler heads so that they didn't get damaged. They made several passes with the aerator in difficult areas. They had good, modern equipment. I would recommend this aeration/fertilizer service to others. Price at $88 seemed reasonable. It costs $58/4 hr, (or $83 for a full day) just to rent an aerator at Home Depot, so you don't save much doing it yourself. Doing it by hand would take a long time. One note: the ground was a little damp due to rain, so the divets weren't quite as big as usual. Its better to have the aeration done on drier soil.

They were able to come out right away and provide us with an estimate. There were additional costs beyond the price beyond the deal, but they let us know up front. They provided one load of debris hauling with the deal, but we had needed three loads. They removed a lot of dry brush from around our home for fire purposes as well as some dead trees. They did a wonderful job of getting in there and trimming them down. Two men completed the job in two days as planned. They were very courteous and professional. It was a wonderful experience!

They arrived about a half hour after the appointed time. The yard clearing went well, except that they used leaf blowers that blew a fair amount of debris onto the patio, which they did not clean up. We purchased 4 hours of yard clearing for $99 on an Angie's List special deal. They finished in 3 and 1/2 hours and then surprised us by charging an additional $50 to haul it away.
Description of Work: They cleared a large amount of leaves and pine needles from the yard and around the sides of the house and also trimmed a hedge next to the front walkway.
