Crew showed up early, worked very hard in intense heat. Finished job in a a timely manner. The ivy bed was very large and dense. We are thrilled with the job they did. They will be the first company we call, when we have another yard project! Frank has photos of our project, that I am sure he will be glad to share.

Job went great. Did all I asked, arrived when they said they would and worked hard all day. Frank called later that night to see how i liked the work. I informed him all was good except they missed one area. Frank and guys were back early the next morning and completed the work. Frank is great and crew very nice.

[This review is for work done last year.] Overall, I was fairly pleased with the crew. They worked their butts off, no question, 10 hours for a crew of four. I asked them to trim some overgrown shrubs, dig up some landscape timbers, remove weeds and brush from an entire yard, dig up some plants I didn't like, spread pine straw in the backyard and shrub beds, and (biggest of all, in my estimate) remove all the tree-ivy, brush, saplings, and other unwelcome stuff on a steep wooded and ivy-filled hill. They did everything I asked, hauled away the debris, and left everything tidy. So that's the good part. I do have a couple minor complaints about their work. First, the shrub trimming was a whack job--just a slice across the top. No shaping, no interior pruning, etc. The shrubs were shorter, but still looked like crap. Second, the plants I wanted dug up weren't actually dug out, they were cut off at soil level. They grew back within weeks, and are more vigorous than ever. I wanted them *removed* and I was clear about it, so this definitely annoyed me. Third, they scalped the front yard with string trimmers. Since it was all weeds, that wasn't so bad, but I wasn't prepared to seed and manage a new lawn, so I ended up with another crop of weeds anyway. As others have said, their prices are high. I have mixed feelings whether I would hire them again.

Entire process was quick and very smooth. Frank came out same day for a quote, and after we made the call to go with his team they were out the next day to start work. They absolutely overhauled the entire area in the space of two days, faster than I had anticipated, and were very courteous and respectful of our property. Amazing and quick work from the whole team!

Frank and his crew were awesome! Frank came out and was able to give me a price immediately and, in my case, was able to start work the next day. It took two full days and a crew of three or four to clear the berm in my yard as I had let it grow up for far too long. They were detailed and completed everything we discussed and then a little. My scope of work also included pine straw and cleaning of the house gutters. The crew was courteous and hard working. Frank was communicative and wanted to make sure that the work was done to my satisfaction. I would, and will, bring them back for future work. We may be putting down some sod soon.

I was so impressed with their responsiveness and quality of work. The amount that I paid for their services was extremely reasonable for the scope of work done and how quickly it was completed.

Frank and his team are top notch professionals for the work I needed done in my front and back yard. Frank was careful to listen to my requests and expectations. He fulfilled all of them with his team exactly as we discussed in a timely manner. He also offered suggestions to help keep my property safe. He wasn't just trying to drum up business. Genuinely I observed his efforts to assist me in my situation. I appreciate his quality of communication and work ethic on a HOT Georgia summer day. Frank's company and crew are worthy of an A grade review across the board! This type of work is expensive to begin with, yet I found him fair and comparably priced to other companies.

We had multiple areas in our year overgrown and out of control. Our project was BIG - Frank and his crew were amazing. Frank responded quickly to my request for a quote. Once agreed upon, he and his crew started the job the next day; finishing in three days and working diligently and professionally. They were attentive to plants and areas we did not want touched and were careful to meet every request we had. They even did a few extra things for us at no charge. I would hire Frank and his crew again without hesitation!

I'm so happy I found Frank! I had been trying to find someone to hand pull a bunch of overgrown weeds that had taken over my side patio and until I found Frank, I couldn't get anyone to return my call. I guess the project was too small. But Frank answered immediately when I called and was out two days later to give me an estimate and back out two days after that to do the job. He was on time both visits, very kind, and nice to work with and he did a GREAT job hand-pulling ever last weed and when he was done, he took the mess with him :) if you are in need for yard clean-up services (big or small) I highly recommend Frank!

Again - I used Frank Thurston's services to clean up my yard...It was the second time he did this for me. The first time was about two years ago. Unfortunately, my yard is a jungle and hard to keep up with. Frank's crew was on time, professional and the work performed was simply outstanding. It was professionally done and simply nite/day vs. before. I would use him again anytime. He's a little on the high side of cost - but is well worth it and the job was thorough and cleaned up after himself. You'd be crazy not to give him a try. You can't do better.

They cleared about 3-feet out around a lot of the trees surrounding my home, as well as about a 3-foot clearance around the outside of my fence. I have heavy English Ivy and they did a great job.

Frank came out within a day to look at the property and provided an estimate. I accepted it and his guys were here a day later. It took them about 6 hours and they did a great job and cleaned up afterwards.

excellent. Frank was very punctual for quote & job requirements. He advised when job would start and finish and it was done. Quality of work was excellent. I did not have to have a dumpster delivered or anything like that. He provided all man power and tools. Hope not to need him again for this type of job, but would not hesitate to call on him again. EXCELLENT JOB DONE! WILL NOT HESITATE TO REFER HIM.

Our backyard in particular had gone over time from "park like" to "jungle." Frank and his team did good work. They were on time, efficient, and did exactly what was requested. Though not the cheapest bid, Frank and his crew greatly exceeded our expectations by providing more services done at the highest level. I would recommend Frank for similar projects.

WOW!!!!! Is one way to describe the quality of their work. Frank and his crew are the BEST!!! They arrived on time. Went to work immediately and did not stop until the job was done. In a matter of a few hours they gave me my backyard back. From weeds, to vines, to kudzu....small tree growth, you name it they removed it. It now truly looks amazing. If you need your yard cleaned up this is the ONLY company to choose.

Of all the contractors who have come to work on our house over the last 20 years, this company was by far the best. Though not the cheapest bid, Frank and his crew greatly exceeded our expectations by providing more services done at the highest level. They made a point, over the course of the job, of asking us if they were performing the tasks to our satisfaction. They also offered expert advice when we were unsure of what to do. We recommend this company without any reservation.
