E T General Contractor INC

We started with an Angie's deal for 100 SF, but ended up buying a larger patio. Julio couldn't schedule the work until after we received approval from our HOA. We should have had Julio fill out a diagram of the work to be done for the HOA paperwork, as doing it ourselves turned out to be a pain. After we received HOA approval, Julio quickly scheduled the work. His team was actually able to come a few days early, because they had finished another job ahead of schedule We are happy with the final product. It took about 1 and 1/2 days to build. We would use them again.

The team came in and completed the tasks asked. they missed one big section of clean out from the ivy i found later which would not be a big deal but they told me they had finished and I said that they could leave early. Overall they did a ton of work I just don't know if it would have been worth it outside the deal. Other companies I have worked with off the list have worked extra hard to earn future business from the deal. Give them a chance overall I was disappointed by a few things but they hit the mark on the whole.

Service went well. I live in a townhouse and have a small front yard. I purchased 6 hours of lawn maintenance service. 4 men arrived and proceeded to work together to accomplished what I needed to have done. They were all very courteous and easy to work with and completed the job in about 1 1/2 hours. They were willing to also dig up and replant if such service was desired. The team leader was very helpful in offering me suggestions to help me better care for my front shrubs and trees. The men did not have their own bags for removing debris so I provided them. I was very pleased with the end result and how clean my front yard looked when they were done. I am excited to now have a specific area plotted out for my potted garden and look forward to putting it all together.

There were 5 or 6 workers, who came and attacked the yard all at once for a little over an hour. I was a little concerned initially, because I have a lot of perennials and the weeds were bigger than the plants in some places, there was no way I could keep track of so many people. I believe the owner was a little offended that I questioned this tactic. But they knew what they were doing, and were definitely experienced gardeners. I had them stay out of one area that I was a little concerned about, and in the end I wish I had them do that area too. They easily separated weeds from plants, and it was amazing how much they did in a relatively short time. They did a really great job.

We've used several companies for this type of thing in past years. And this is the only company that actually had me smiling throughout the process and especially after they'd gone! In fact, our fall cleanup with ET went so well, I just spoke with the owner about coming back and maintaining the lawn and landscaping on a regular basis. The crew showed up for our fall cleanup job on time and ready to work. They kept busy the entire time, followed instructions, asked questions, gave me updates along the way, and completed each task as expected. They even did a bit more than I asked for in spots to make sure the property looked beautiful and well-maintained, which I think speaks to their professionalism. They have high standards and did a thorough, professional-grade job. I especially appreciated the foreman's attention to detail and communication with me while the job was in progress. I forget his name now, but I hope he can come back and oversee all our work! :-) The one thing to be aware of is that there's an extra charge if they have to haul stuff away and dump it for you; the dump charges for this type of thing so the additional costs covers these fees. We've paid companies before for this type of thing so we totally expected them to charge us and didn't find the cost to be excessive. But I know some people are caught off guard when they hear this and may doubt that it's legit. As a side note, I recently had the opportunity to talk to the owner Julio at length about future work and found him to be one of the most genuinely thoughtful people I've ever met in this business. He seems to truly understand the importance of communication and customer satisfaction. He clearly articulated options available to me, potential costs, how the process would work, showed me a sample contract, and even helped me make less costly decisions when higher-priced alternatives just didn't make good sense. We also talked about the importance of treating people right ? doing the right things for customers and employees and how that's good for everyone involved. Throughout our conversation, he also shared several stories with me ? about how he got into the business and why, examples of similar jobs like mine, etc. I really appreciated the insights; the stories severed as examples of the value he places on customer and employee happiness.

They mistakenly dug up and tossed about $300 worth of Hostice. They must have must have mistaken those for weeds. Also a bit less mulch has been laid, but can be made up in the future hopefully.brush I gave permission to dump removed flamable brush on my burm pile, but they dumped sod and dirt there too that will not burn. I do have a dirt pile nearby too, but some dirt was placed there with other flamable material also. Bottom line I'm left with some major clean up work! Haven't yet called ET about these issues.

We absolutely loved this company! They were so easy to work with. We originally bought a BIg Deal through Angie's for 100 sq feet of pavers. The backyard of our townhome was a absolute disaster, full of ruts and old rotting railroad ties. Julio promptly called us and scheduled an initial survey of our back yard. Since our backyard was about 19ft by19ft, we negotiated to pay the remainder of the area and the final price included a retaining wall along the fenceline where the utilities are buried as well as regrading the entire area to the proper height, and steps from the patio down to the street level. That was last Thursday. A week later, Juilo and his team arrived to do the work. Within 15 minutes, they had the bricks from the old patio stacked along the fence and were ready to tear down the old rotting deck. By the end of the day, they had removed all traces of the old yard, laid down the crushed rock and built the retaining wall. The whole patio took about 2 1/2 days to install and it looks fantastic! They also disposed of all the old materials they ripped out and cleaned up everything, including outside the fence. Julio was there everyday to check in on things once or twice a day and at the end, he and my husband had a lengthy conversation about the patio the construction techniques and what to do if we find any issues. You could really tell he takes great pride in the work being done and stands by his workers workmanship 100%. They were a great company to work with and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping.

Bought the package in January (1/25), tried to reach out for more information via messaging and calling the company. Was told that I would get a follow up call later and that we would meet to discuss the final contract. Received a call this week, and a second call a few days later. Was told that we needed to have a meeting to discuss the final contract. Additional terms needed to be negotiated. For example, they had a requirement to perform 32 seasonal mowings, but the package only included 25. Also wanted to discuss the purchase of supplies like mulch, seed, and fertilizer, etc. During the phone call to set up the meeting, I inquired about pricing, but Julio indicated could not provide it until he saw the property at our meeting. I guess mulch costs more per square foot depending on the house and neighborhood. There was a mix up on my address. He had used an old billing address. I provided my address to him and he arrived on time for the appointment. I live in a residential neighborhood with single side of the street parking and have a driveway big enough for two cars. He parked, got to the foot of the driveway and asked if this was the usual parking situation. I said yes, it's typical that there are a few spaces open on the street and the driveway would be available. He said his trailer would not fit on the street. After the phone call and lack of willingness to discuss pricing and the delay in time from purchase to establishing the meeting to finalize a contract, I should have known better. Overall, this provider didn't seem like a bad guy, but I certainly wouldn't recommend him. One other thing to note. The tactic of delaying the meeting until after the 30 day Angie's list refund period was an additional nuisance. I now have to wait to be contacted by the big deal group and have them process a refund even though the provider is refusing to provide the service.

Wonderful work! The crew arrived on time and cut down all the trees I had marked, big and small. I was amazed that they were able to get to all of the trees I had marked. They even had some time left over and asked what else they could do. I had them cut down a few more small trees. They were hardworking and focused on providing the best service possible. I have already hired this company for two more jobs. Highly recommended!

There was an initial visit to take a look at the work to be performed. A schedule was made. 2 days before the schedule date, I was texted and then called to reschedule for another day because of weather. I thought this was greatly planned, contacting me way in advance to reschedule. The crew of 4 showed up at 8am promptly ready to work. Everything was completed before noon with all 4 of the crew as promised. They also brought a larger truck, which they informed me ahead of time that it would be an additional cost for the tree, so I had the additional money available. They came into the DC area to do the service, which was great. The crew was very pleasant. I was very pleased with the service this company provided for me. I would definitely use this company over and over again.

The crew came out today and did not even come close to completing the work he promised. This was very frustrating because I had gotten cheaper quotes from other companies for the 1 tree. I've also had other tree service companies come out and remove 5-6 trees within a day's work. This company didn't even manage to cut down the tree, only the top portion of the tree was actually cut down. The project manager that should've been managing the crew left well before the full 8 hours, so there was no one making sure that the crew was getting the work done within a pace to be finished in 8 hours. I had even agreed that morning to pay to have to wood hauled away, which would've cost $200 per load and he estimated about 2 loads. I called him after the crew had left and he said well, if they're not done, then they're not done, that's all they can do today and the deal is gone. That's not what was said this morning at all. I could've hired another company and paid less to actually have the work completed. I would like them to come back out to as least finish the work they said they would do.

They are a big rip off and I'm disgusted. They showed up, I bought several hours for the price. They blew the leaves into the back of the yard. I went out to find out what was going on and they said that I wasn't paying them to haul them away. They said that they couldn't bag them because, if they bagged them, they wouldn't be able to finish the yard. They wanted another $150 to haul away the leaves. I had to pay another $150 to have them haul away the leaves. It did not sit well with me. They are disreputable and I'll never do business with them again. They do this regularly. Yard clean-up is yard clean-up. There was no mention that they wouldn't haul away any debris unless, I pay close that amount. That is not my idea of upfront advertising. They hauled it away, and collected the stuff. They did what they said they would do. It was the bait, and switch issues. The idea of blowing it to the back of the yard is, infuriating. It was a ridiculous amount of money.

I bought originally a big deal. I was so impressed by Julio's professionalism at our first meeting, I then decided to go ahead and "add on" other things that we needed done. Julio and his crew were very professional and did a great job. When a family emergency and the weather delayed the start of the job, Julio or a team member was in touch with me constantly, letting me know the status and when they would be here. The day they started, we walked through all of the projects again to settle my mind that we still agreed on what I wanted. They were patient and understanding of my need to do this. The crew was pleasant and friendly. Their craftsmanship and quality of work is superb! My Landscaping turned out beautifully :). I will definitely go to them first for any other projects I need help with. A+ for ET Landscaping!!!

Big Deal - 6 hours of landscape clean up for $200 (1 person). Julio and a team of 4 showed and did the entire yard for the winter holiday. They did a terrific job. I would hire them again

They are very hardworking people. There was some work that they agreed to do that they didn’t do and I called them to come back and I had a little bit of a disagreement with the owner. He was in denial about it but he did come out and did the work but I didn’t appreciate the attitude. In the future he needs to realize that when you make an agreement with somebody he must fulfil the requirements of the agreement and not get argumentative about it when you are incorrect. He is a good guy and his guys worked incredibly hard and they put in a long day’s work.

I purchased this deal 2 months ago and explained then that I wanted the work done on Monday the 21st of December. I sent an e-mail 1 month before to remind them but when I called to verify they told me that Monday was already scheduled for someone else. I accepted Tuesday the 22nd. Monday turned out to be a perfect day. Tuesday, however, was rainy. The work was supposed to begin at 8am. At 8:50am I called Julio to see when I could expect his crew. It sounded like I woke him up. He told me that they don't work in the rain. "That's fine but when were you going to call me to let me know?", I replied. He answered by telling me that the forecast didn't look good for the rest of the week and explained again that they do not work in the rain. I told him again, "That is fine but can you answer my question? When were you going to call me to let me know?" He said he was going to call "today" but I explained that I didn't understand why he didn't call earlier as I had been waiting for nearly an hour with no word. He AGAIN told me that it was raining and we would have to reschedule for another week. At this point I lost all faith in Julio. I didn't believe that he wouldn't care to do a good job as he clearly didn't care to listen to me. When I asked why he didn't call as soon as he knew he wouldn't be working for the day he told me he "understands and that's why I'm apologizing to you". I told him that I did not believe he understood me and not to worry about rescheduling the work. He asked if I was sure and I said, "Absolutely". If they had simply scheduled me for the original date that I requested twice before none of this would have happened and I wouldn't have to worry about these trees falling on my house until I find another tree service. P.S. At several points in this brief conversation Julio had a noticeable inflection of distain for me. I imagine this was because I woke him up on his day off.

The crew did a great job. I had a total of 6 trees taken down and I was impressed by their quality of work, safety and clean up. They took attention to not damaging any property or surrounding trees. The owner, Julio, also offered up other suggestions for maintaining my trees and landscaping in a kind and helpful manner. We will be using them again. As an aside note, the owner and most of his crew are great with dogs...and for those of us with dogs, that's important!

The company's owner answered all my communications promptly and courteously, giving through details about the work and answering all my questions properly. Initially, I wanted to do the job during the summer, but when at that time he was very busy. However, he committed to keep the initial offer in the same terms and cost until later on. I called a couple of months later and we scheduled. The job was done as expected, and even though he found a couple of unexpected issues, he fixed those under the same budget. The quality of the work was good as well. I recommend it. No fancy frills, but good work under a budget.

It went well. They were able to get a lot done. Only problem is they do not supply tarps or bags for removal. If I had known i had to supply my bags I would have done so. As it was I ran out and they still had time on the clock so they ended up making large piles that I had to pick up later.

After 3 tries to contact ET Landscaping, I asked Angie for a refund which was promptly granted.

4 people came including the group leader who spoke English only The other people didnt know nor understood English As u can imagine, I had only one and onr half hour to work w 4 people, it was chaotic I reviewed w leader what I wanted to do overall, but there were 4 people working Simutanously, it was very difficult for me to see that things were done the way it needed to be done w planning, pruning,and etc around the yard. They were aim to please, because they didn't speak English, I had to rely on the group leader to translate which was not always possible while he was busy doing something else in another part of the yard. Suggestion: No more then 2 per yard work, so that home owners can get a better handle of what is being done in the yard, if I wanted them to work extra hours I than had to pay $45 for all four workers vs 2 workers. Which most people don't want to do. with work all over the yard can't keep track as who is doing what Thank you

The crew from E T Landscaping & Lawn Care arrived promptly and went to work. They were very courteous, professional, and conscientious about their craft. The patio came out better than expected - it is beautiful! Whatever the team brought in for equipment, food, and beverage - they left not a trace behind when they finished. I noticed they had placed something under their truck on my driveway to ensure there wasn't any oil or dirt left behind. I have not seen any other service provider be this considerate. Lastly, Julio the owner brought a problem with my walkway to my attention. He noticed the builder hadn't compressed the soil sufficiently underneath. I thanked him for bringing it to my attention. Then I noticed his men repairing the problem and he didn't ask for a dime. That, is service! I give this company 5 stars + - they are honest, hardworking, and very pleasant to deal with . Thank you E T Landscaping - Francesca

Paid 850 for 6 hours with 4 workers. They mowed, weeded, mulched, trimmed, etc. Basic yard cleanup. Job was done well; no complaints.

Fantastic work! Will use them again :)

It was clear that Julio strives for excellence and wants to do a great job for each client. He was prompt about scheduling the appointment. The morning of our scheduled appointment I received a text from Julio that it was forecasted to rain all day and could we reschedule for later in the week. That worked fine for me and I appreciated him letting me know before the scheduled visit. As planned his team arrived when scheduled and got to work right away. Julio walked the yard with me, asking for clarification on all items and once the work was complete he walked the yard with me again making sure all items were to my satisfaction. I appreciated this greatly. In my view this is the sign of a quality focused business person who wants to meet and exceed the expectations of his customers. I will certain have Julio and his crew out for regular landscaping/yard work at my home and will without hesitation recommend ET Landscaping & Lawn Care, Inc. to all my friends and family.
