BILL'S YARD & ODD JOB SERVICE

Absolutely awesome. Everyone saying how good the yard looks

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.

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.

They did a GREAT job and were REALLY nice to deal with! Cleanup was top notch!!

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.

After meeting no estimate was given, sent several message no estimate was given. very unprofessional waste of time

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.

Very well. I was on a time crunch and Bill and his crew were able to get me an estimate and get the work done within 1 week.

Horribly - they spread only 1/4"-1/2" thick of mulch (it was more pine bark nuggets than mulch) throughout the yard. I called to complain, sighting the industry standard practice of a minimum of 3"-4", which the installer acknowledged but refused to install. The owner of Bill's Yard & Odd Job Service showed up in my backyard announced, where he became argumentative and borderline combative. After a lot of back and forth, we finally settled on half his fee. However, I've had to re-mulch the entire yard because the thin pine nuggets they installed mostly washed away in subsequent rain storms.

The lawn was in bad shape. Some small areas didn't grow so they came back and re-seeded those spots and had better results.

Great. They came back to add some more seed to spots that didn't grow. No extra charge.

Jim was very understanding of my needs during the initial walk through and was very helpful when making suggestions about which services could be performed and thoughts on how to perform some ongoing maintenance once the cleanup was complete. The work was performed about a week later with everything being completed as planned.

very well, Jim was very easy to work with, listened carefully to what I wanted done, and implemented plans in a timely fashion. The job turned out even better than I thought it would. A great team working for him, Jim was present the whole time to supervise and make sure I got what I wanted.

Bill's Yard Service is great - we are very busy and are able to communicate our needs over email; take screen shots from googlemaps, describe work we need done and we get a very good estimate. They are prompt, professional and do exactly what is agreed to, and is easy to pay on line. Excellent folks to work with - especially for very busy people that need big and little jobs done around the yard!

It was bit pricey because we have a small yard, but I understand they need the minimum to make it work. Even so, they did a great job--came exactly when promised, did an extremely thorough job, and really were responsive. They'll be my go to from now on.

This probably qualifies for "odd job". We do pretty much all our own yardwork and landscaping, but I injured my ankle and am on crutches. I had some things that had to get done, but I also am picky about how it's done. So I called Bill to hire a laborer for an hour to do the work at an appointed time, using my own equipment. The worker, Chris, showed up precisely on time, which is very important to me. He then proceeded to follow my instructions very closely and was very professional. He hustled the whole time and in the end it took two hours of work but that was solely because of the quantity of work and I'm always too optimistic about how quickly it will go. The hourly rate ($95) was a bit stiff but I was willing to pay it if they were on time and did the work well, both of which they did. I don't know when I'll need them again (in theory my ankle is healing) but I would hire again.

As I indicated above, no work was performed. Just an estimate obtained.

I've used bill's yard service for several jobs over the las 3-4 years. They are always prompt and responsive. This last job was easier than previous assignments (previously they had removed large trees form my yard). In this occasion I needed to spruce up the yard to get it ready for new tenants. They did a great job, with minimal supervision, I sent pictures and a brief description of the job, they sent me a quote and got the job done quickly.

I couldn't have been more pleased. The curb appeal has been restored to the front of the house. The back yard is refreshed and ready for spring. The crew dragged quite a lot of yard debris to the curb and managed to do so without leaving a trace. An overgrown and mostly bare evergreen shrub was cut own to the ground and treated to keep it from growing back. An overgrown Holly was pruned back and revealed Azaleas I didn't know were there. It seems every leaf and straw of pine was removed from the grass! The yard looks better than it ever has. I should ignore it more often! Well worth the (reasonable) price. And the crew cleaned up after themselves as well. Great service! Oh - and the crew made sure the one spot where my dogs can escape was adequately barricaded before they left. I even received an email asking me to check the spot just to be sure. Hard workers AND dog lovers!

I was very satisfied with the service. I would definately use him again in the future.

They have been fantastic in every way. I spoke with Bill and arranged to meet with Jim at the property to look around. Jim and I met for almost an hour looking around and talking about what I wanted done. Jim had plenty of thoughts and observations and was able to identify native, invasive and intended species of trees and shrubs. We worked out a phased plan for the cleanup over several months. The cleanup is nearly complete and we are going to work towards a regular maintenance plan. I could not be happier with the experience.

Overall, it went well. The work had been discussed for nearly a year. By the time we were ready to move forward, we had allowed the 'recommeded time' for transplanting to pass so the % of risk for survival of the trees & shrubs had grown too high. They were beyond budding out and into the growing season. We actually ended up 'pushing' the date this spring after some scheduling difficulty. In hindsight, we did not realize when initiatinag in March that it would take as long as it did to confirm the work and a date. In part waiting for the utilities to complete their site work with marking underground electric, gas, water & cable. Then it was the "bobcat" operator scheduling. They handled coordination with the utilitiy companies. When all preparation was finally completed, the work had been well planned and was then essentially completed in one day. Holes were all well-prepared. Planting was completed, trees well staked to secure their stability, watering 'collars' were installed and the soil/area around each was raked and 'finished' fairly well. The "bobcat"operator was very experienced and accurate. There was no unexpected damage suffered by any other landscaping or property - only the underground drainage pipe from the downspouts, as could pretty well be predicted. However, each section that was damaged was immediately replaced and buried. Cleaning off the driveway that evening (which I suppose I had incorrectly assumed they would have done), is when I discovered the water was not draining off of the driveway so I knew one additional section of drainage pipe must have been "crushed" by the weight of the "bobcat" installed under an area that had to provide access for the equipment - I called, left a message, received a timely callback and without any hesitation or delay, they returned that next day, dug up a 25+ ft section, removed the damaged drainage pipe, replaced it, tested it to ensure it would drain properly and all problem spots were replaced, then completed burying it and recovered with the pine straw. The gentlemen providing the manual labor throughout were fast, deliberate & efficient. They were also very courteous and pleasant. The only disappointment was my failure to carefully look at the area from where the trees were moved. It was after the "bobcat" was gone that I could see I should have inspected it and asked the operator to simply take a few 'passes' over it in order to help water to drain from that area. This is still a 'work in progress' for us toward mitigating the drainage problem left after removing the trees & shrubs for transplanting. I decided we would not call them for more follow-up assistance In summary, we found "Bill's Yard Service" to be very invested in the work performed for us. They were pleasant and service directed throughout. They gained our confidence through the planning and proposal phases by not hesitating to give their professional opinion(s) on what should or could be done and how it should be done. At the same time, when there were options, we explained our preference(s). They would quickly adopt our perspective and moved forward with that direction. During this process, we learned a lot from them and fully appreciate their work. They will definitely be my first choice/contact when the occasion arises again for their capacity of work needed and/or their level of expertise.

Excellent service and work. This last clean-up was a bit more expensive than last time but the service and quality of work was great
