Bill and team did an outstanding job. They delivered everything I asked for in a reasonable amount of time. All team members were courteous, anxious to help and did not leave until all work was done and approved by me. Really a nice job...transformed our backyard. Would hire them for any kind of yard or odd job. They are fantastic. This is our third time using their service.
Description of Work
We needed a large 30 feet by 3 feet bed of lariope and vinca removed and have new dirt installed so we could transform that space in to a pretty flower garden. We also wanted 3 raised flower beds installed and filled with dirt so we could plant vegetables. And, we needed roses trimmed back and lariope in another area, trimmed back.

After some initial confusion about scheduling the first visit, Jim came by and we spent 30-45 minutes going over all the work that needed to be done with landscaping and yard maintenance. He was thorough and easy to communicate with and I thought we had a winner. When the visit was winding down, he said he would send in a detailed estimate in no more than three days. That was eight days ago and we've received no word since which is troubling because we have a few things that require immediate attention. Yet, I've seen, since then, Jim respond to several people seeking help with their lawns on the NextDoor app. This is too bad, especially since they are headquartered just a few streets away from our house. Reading the other negative reviews on Angies's List and seeing the responses from the folks at Bill's, I know this will somehow be blamed on us (e.g., we weren't patient enough, we didn't wait long enough for the estimate, we didn't contact them enough times to remind them about the estimate, we didn't check our spam folders, etc.). When someone gives their word that a particular thing will be done in a specific time frame, it is not up to the potential customer to find out why a promise went unfulfilled. This, ultimately, is a measure of professionalism and first impressions do matter a great deal.

We will respectfully respond to [Member Name Removed] s F rating on Angie's List, simply by offering our sincere apology that he was inconvenienced. We received a request for an estimate on 07/30/2018. We emailed Mr. [Member Name Removed] on 07/30/2018 offering an estimate for 8/3/18 at 10am (his specified time requested on his web submission form). We asked if that date did not work for him to offer an alternative. We did not receive a reply to this email offer for an estimate walk through. On 08/03/2018 we received an email from Mr. [Member Name Removed] asking if the estimator would be showing up for the appointment. After researching our system, we found that Mr. [Member Name Removed] had not replied to our email scheduling offer of 8/3/18. We immediately offered an appointment that same afternoon. We agreed on a new date 8/6/18 at 10am. This is the "confusion" that occurred with regard to scheduling the estimate walk through stated at the beginning of Mr. [Member Name Removed]'s F Rating review. As to the estimate write-up - we are delayed in sending out the write-ups and should have communicated with Mr. [Member Name Removed] that he would not receive what he was promised. This promise to send the estimate write-up should not have been extended and typically exact time frames are not offered or promised during our busiest seasons. While we do provide our estimates free of charge, we have time invested in them and understand the potential customer does as well. We would have appreciated an email asking if the estimate had been sent or was otherwise in the works to be sent. Instead, our first knowledge of Mr. [Member Name Removed]'s issue is posted here on Angie's List. We make our best effort to reply to requests promptly and follow-up timely as outlined with the scheduling confusion. In this case we did not follow-up as promised at the estimate and again sincerely apologize that Mr. [Member Name Removed] was inconvenienced.07/26/2018

It was great. They came when I was available and tailored the estimate to my needs and budget. I'm very particular about the day and time to meet and get the work done. They were very accommodating to my work schedule. The guys that did the work were very professional. They even knocked on the door and asked me if I wanted to move my car so they didn't get it dirty since I just washed it. I really appreciate the little things such as that.

Bill's Yard Service offers FREE ESTIMATES to potential customers. We make every effort to accommodate each person to avoid conflicts with their schedules. We try to schedule a time to meet the potential customer in person, offering hours that will best work with their schedule, even on the weekends if need be. The estimates are performed in detail with the customer so they are able to ask questions and provide information so that a full spectrum write-up is possible. In order to be given a fair and valuable estimate we like to conduct appointment times during daylight hours and be able to meet with potential customers starting around 10 am until one hour before dusk. Each estimate performed is tailored to the customer's landscaping needs and budget allowing them to select or deselect services. We do not perform automated estimates therefore our turnaround time may be lengthier then a larger company. We do apologize that we did not meet your expectations and timely response. Thank you for your review.08/03/2017

Great, they showed up with a team. Bill was there supervising the whole process. They did a great job for a good price. My husband who works nights was sleeping and he barely noticed they were there. When we woke up he said, "wow the gutters look great!".

My yard backs up to a wildly overgrown area that spills into my yard from all sides, including vines stretching across the yard and a partially damaged fence line. It's not something I could manage on my own or even get to a point where I could try to get it under control without more professional help. Bill's Yard & Odd Job Service worked within my budget to handle the upkeep quickly and put together a monthly quote to help keep it contained.

The process of getting an estimate and agreeing on the work and price was professional and timely. The price was well over my budget and I settled on just taking care of the most critical branches. They arrived when expected, completed the work in short order and made sure to bag and bundle the cuttings and leave them at the curb.

I needed some branches cut after an ice storm split a wax myrtle and a thinning of crepe myrtle branches.
