I use them for drain clearing in kitchen. Technicians are courteous and professional, scheduling is responsive mostly.. BUT, this time I waited for 2 days, on the 1st scheduled day they were to come out they stated that the techs truck broke down and they could not dispatch another tech until a day and 1/2 later. So, I waited. Tech showed when they stated they would 2nd time around. The coupon I purchased stated $99 Drain Cleaning. **BE CAREFULL !! ** there is an additional $59.00 Truck or service CHARGE! I explained that I was unaware and they reduced by $59.00 .. Overall I would use them again and feel they are worth building a relationship with as a residential customer..

WHILE OUR REAR YARD IS FAIRLY SMALL (ONCE WE ADDED THE DRIVEWAY) WE HAD WOODEN PRIVACY FENCING ADDED IN ADDITION TO WOODEN GATES IN TWO PLACES. THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE REAR PROPERTY HAD A RETAINING WALL THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. DRAIN TILE AND GRAVEL WERE ADDED BEHIND THE NEW WALL TO FUNNEL WATER FROM THE UPPER HILL AWAY FROM THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY. WE HAVE NOT HAD A DROP OF STANDING WATER IN OUR BACK YARD SINCE. EVEN WITH EXCESSIVELY HEAVY RAINFALL. DEBRIS CLEAN UP WAS 100% COMPLETED ON A DAILY BASIS. EVEN THE PUBLIC STREET WHERE SOIL AND/OR GRAVEL WAS PLACED! GRASS SEED AND HAY WERE PLACED ON ALL AREAS. TIM WAS ON SIGHT DAILY EVEN THOUGH HE HAS A FAIRLY LARGE CREW WORKING WITH HIM. HE RESPONDED QUICKLY AND ACCURATELY WITH THE CHANGES WE PROPOSED TO HIM. HE WAS WITHIN $500 OF HIS ORIGINAL QUOTE. WE WILL DEFINITELY HIRE GRAND RIVER CONSTRUCTION AGAIN. HE INDICATED THAT THE WORK WOULD BE COMPLETED WITHIN TWO WEEKS AT MAXIMUM. EVEN WITH SOME SEVERE WEATHER THE CONSTRUCTION WAS COMPLETED ON TIME. THE ONLY NEGATIVE, IN MY OPINION AND WHERE I SCORED THE COMPANY WITH A and quot;Band quot;, WAS ON THE PROFESSIONALISM END.

We hired Hoyne Landscaping to put some pretty extensive drain tile in our yard and landscape the entire perimeter of our home, including edging, installation of plants and river rock.

The work all looks great even though we ran into unforseen issues more than once (to no fault of his). My only complaint is that he was difficult to get ahold of and very unresponsive to messages.
Even though the work took quite sometime to be completed, my only complaint is that he was so difficult to get in touch with. There was more than once during the project where we hadn't seen or heard from him in so long that we thought we were going to have to finish the project ourselves or hire someone else. Then, out of the blue, his guys would show up and work for a couple of hours. Given the lower rates, I was perfectly fine having it take a little longer, if only he'd communicated better. A 60-second phone call would have been considerate here and there. That said, I'd probably hire him again, knowing full well that it would take a while. The work is well done, his help is very nice and his prices were excellent. Just would have appreciated a phone call here and there :-) "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ia/dubuque/hoyne-landscaping-reviews-2192129.htm"},"position":10}]}

The job was completely professional from start to finish. They did an excellent job. It was a full-day job starting with putting down plastic to protect the floors. Then they jackhammered the periphery, laid Waterguard, a system to drain leakage, put rocks over it and cemented the floor back,...

FAQs for french drain service projects in East Dubuque, IL
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
