It went very smoothly. The only reason I gave them a B was because of the delay I experienced getting the work scheduled. The actual work was excellent & I would recommend them highly.

Contacted the provider nearly two weeks ago.  Got a quote about a week after requesting it.  Called twice today nearly a week after saying I wanted the service and was put off.  They couldn't contact their person. Will be looking elsewhere for a provider who can return phone calls and not pass me off to some guy who will drive by a week later and give me a quote.
Response from Hoy Landscaping Inc

"Hi [member name removed], I'm sorry you feel like you were put off. This is the busiest time of the year for our crews and we are running approximately three weeks from the date you order the service to when we can execute it. The manager of our maintenance services was out of the country all last week, but will be back today. That is why you couldn't get the information you were looking for. That being said, you should have received better communication/information from others in our company. I apologize for the poor communication. Sincerely, Tim Hesterman Owner"

Response to initial inquiry was prompt and via email. They said they would send someone to look at the lawn "in a few days." "In a few days" took a couple of days longer than I had hoped, but they did eventually email us a scanned contract to sign - they had just looked at the lawn and saved us the trouble of being home for an initial estimate appointment.
I sent in the contract and a couple of days later I came home to find that all of the edging, trimming, mulching, mowing, and debris pickup had been taken care of. They have since been coming by on a weekly basis and I think that so far they are doing a very professional job.
The price we were quoted is slightly below what others had quoted for the same weekly service, and in addition there has been none of the "will they or won't they bother to respond to my phone calls and emails" that we have had with several other lawn service companies.
Overall, an unusually professional lawn service company and I am pleased to have hired them.

Hoy was great from the outset.  I sent out several requests for proposals for a fall cleanup on a house we had just moved into.  I fell way behind on yard maintenance so I needed some help.  Jim was very responsive to my emails, assured me exactly what work would be performed and gave me a date.  Of course there was snow in the forecast the day prior to my scheduled appointment, so Hoy sent their crew in early to do the job.  Leaves were meticulously cleared, all perennials were trimmed and the grass mowed.  And to top it all off, they had the best price for this particular job.  We would highly recommended calling Hoy.

AMAZING! My law mower took a dive back in late October. I thought "no biggie winter is almost here." Then we got that warm snap and all that rain. Well, needless to say the grass blew up! Now, with my lawnmower repaired the grass was too much for it. And because it was almost a month, the leaves were out of control as well. I called FOUR different landscapers including Hoy. Only Hoy responded......and within 24 hours to boot. Never knew that all these landscapers were so rich that returning calls was unnecessary. But I digress, back to Hoy. Tim and the wonderful appointment setter whose name escapes me were tremendously responsive and top notch communicators. The guys just left, and I have to say I've never been so impressed. Worth every single penny! To sum up: Great response Great communication Great job Great value Look no further!

Hoy Landscaping had everything. The person was professional and he's the only one that showed up on time. Everything worked out. Aaron is very professional and he impressed me. He gave me better ideas as to what to do with the extra gravel that I had and we were able to utilize all that which was good. I just like him better.

Hoy was very responsive. I was able to get someone out to the house on the same day that we called, and Aaron really paid close attention to what we were interested in, though we did not have a specific plan in mind. When we received the plan, we were impressed by how Aaron had interpreted our requests, creating a coherent design that went beyond expectations. The work proceeded smoothly and in a timely manner. The team showed up exactly when we expected, and their work was done quickly and professionally. Afterwards, some of the plants did experience stress, due to high heat, but we called and received immediate attention. Everything worked out fine. We are now thinking of other work that might be done in the future, due to our satisfaction with the new look.

I emailed Hoy to set up a day/time for someone to come out and give me a quote to relandscape my front yard.  I was set up for 4/24 at 4:00pm.  4:00 came and went with nobody showing up or calling me.  Finally at approx 4:45 I called Aaron to find out where he was out and he informed me that he had been in meetings all day and forgot about our appointment.  He said he had to head out to another address that he had scheduled for that evening and wanted to reschedule with me.  I told them I was not interested in hiring a company that forgets  appointments.  Their are plenty of of other landscape companies who actually want my business.

I called Hoy Landscaping to request an estimate to have a retaining wall made of railroad ties replaced.  Tim came out to the house. I told him that I was interested in a quote for replacing the railroad ties and a quote for a stone retaining wall.  He talked about a few options (one of which included using a Bobcat to remove the rotting ties), took some meaurements and then told me he would email an estimate within the next few days.  Two weeks later, I called the office to check on the status of that estimate.  I was put on hold and told that Tim would have to bring someone else to look at the project and that I would have an estimate within a week.  It's been two weeks--no follow up visit and no estimate.

Everything turned out very well. Their pricing was very reasonable and they were prompt with completing the job. They were quick and efficient. They also edged the yard at no additional cost.

I have used Hoy Landscaping for my complete landscaping needs for over 5 years now, including routine maintenance, selection of new plants, annual flowers and other services.  They have always performed top notch service at a reasonable price.  I highly recommend them for all of your landscaping needs.

As far as I can tell, they are pretty good. They cleared the snow off in the front part of the home, in the stairs, walkway up, in the front drive, and the side drive. They cleared all the way up to the garage. They seemed to do a pretty thorough job. In warmer months, they do lawn and yard work in the spring, summer, and fall. My yard looks good. They trim the shrubs and mow the lawn, and again they do a pretty thorough job.

A great experience from beginning to end.  I worked with Ward, who was punctual, knowledgeable, and listened thoughtfully to my concerns and needs.  I received three estimates/proposals before selecting Hoy.  Ward developed a detailed landscaping plan that was creative, well-organized, really thorough, and responsive to my concerns.  I could not be more pleased with the final result.  Hoy was not the cheapest option available to us, but not the most expensive, either.  The chance to work with Ward, who holds a degree in landscape architecture, was well worth any extra cost.  At the end, I was particularly pleased with the spacing and scale and balance of the entire project -- these are important aspects of landscaping  that I don't think I could have achieved without his help.  Finally, the work team worked quickly and efficiently, and did an excellent overall job implementing the plan.  A+

They came as a team of workers, the owner trimmed the tree and bushes by hand, did all the work as stated.  Placed all waste on their truck and hauled everything away.  Everything was done as agreed upon and yard looked great.
