Very responsive, professional. The lawn has not improved very much after several treatments so far.

I purchased 7 cubic yards of topsoil/compost from another company which sub-contracted Earth and Turf for delivery.  The truck and driver arrived when expected.  I already had laid out a very large tarp at the top of my lawn next to the driveway since I wanted to spread the soil all across the front of the house.  The driver said he could dump the soil right in the middle instead of by the drive which would make less work for me to spread it around.  I mentioned my heavy, clay soil that was still damp from a heavy rainstorm four days earlier and I worried about his driving on the lawn causing ruts; however, he said it was solid enough.  We folded up the tarp since he was going to dump the soil in the destination area.  Unfortunately it took him 3 or 4 tries to position the truck, all the while creating deep ruts in the lawn, and at the end, he dumped the soil a good 15 feet away from the house.  In the end, he said he should have dumped it on the tarp at the original location.  I think with more experience the driver will gain the skills necessary to position a truck more effectively and efficiently.
   I called the company I had purchased the soil from and asked if they could even out the lawn with a water-filled roller or if they had some other suggestion for a fix.  They said they would contact Earth and Turf for a fix and if I wasn't satisfied with their solution, they would fix it for me themselves.  However, Earth and Turf called right away and offered to put in new sod the next day.  It doesn't look great but I feel confident that next Spring it will be just fine.  Donnie at Earth and Turf was very pleasant and easy to work with and I'm pleased with the fix.

Tree stumps were removed in the summer but then had to wait over 1 month to have the trees installed.  It was somewhat out of the control of Earth & Turf because they were waiting for trees.  Communication could have been better to keep me informed.

I waited for three days before I heard from Donnie . The woman who answered my call about the delay explained that Donnie is also a volunteer firefighter. So I let the delay go.. After all fighting fires saves lives and people's prize possessions. When he did come by we discussed in detail what I wanted to be done. When the contract arrived I noticed that these details were not written in to it, Just mulching, trimming of ground cover from the stairs too the back yard: same for the front-weeding and mulching. I guess this is
"My Bad".for not calling office, but I was in the hospital and still quite ill the day the crew was here.
I just trusted Donnie to do a great job. oops
Several of my neighbors asked me who I decided to use. I know that she called you for an estimate and got the same run around trying to get someone to her home. She chose another company with a very competitive bid. I was so glad about that - you hate to recommend a company who is not giving the service you expect.
Sincerely,
Mary l. Cooling

Provider did not come at specified time.  I had to call to determine approximate new arrival time. The providers were running late.  Did not clean out around shrubs. Applied new mulch on top of debris.

I have been very happy with their service.  They do a nice job mowing and edging each week...and they always show up which is appreciated.  Weed control and fertilization have also been going well.

We have been using Earth and Turf for winter plowing, and they are so responsive - after a winter storm, they are there quickly to clear out our driveway (which is the length of a football field).

We then contacted Donny to talk about helping us clean up our landscape. We used Earth and Turf for creating trench edges around all our landscape (we have a fair amount), cleaning up weeds and then mulching. The outcome was great. They made recommendations on a darker bark mulch that they thought would fare better through the winter (and it has). We are getting ready to have them do some additional landscaping for us in 2012!

I received a quote to cleanup leaves, twigs and debris (spring cleanup), trim tall grasses to ground level and spread 30 yards of mulch in the front and back yards. I purchased the mulch separately. The areas to be cleaned up and the work to be done were very well described to Donnie Starwalt, the company representative, before the price was given and accepted. Unfortunately, the work was supervised by Ryan, the mowing person, who obviously has a lower standard for quality work and a lack of recognition of perennials and bulbs, as many were hacked off at ground level. To push the job, mulch was spread over leaves and debris, and many areas of ivy and groundcovers were never cleaned up of leaves, at all. After claiming they had finished, I called Donnie and met for a walk-around on a Friday evening to point out the numerous problems, piles of trimmings, leaves left in beds, even at the beds by the door(!), and mulch covering up plants. He agreed that the work was well below standard (putting it kindly), saying his landscape supervisor had quit, and he was in a bind, thus using his mowing person who really didn't know much about landscape work, that he appreciated my knowledge of quality work, and willingness to give them another try (I owned a landscape management business 20 years ago). He agreed to come back out on Monday to make it right and pick up the final payment of $300. The crew spent only 2-3 hours on the job, leaving a tremendous amount of work, which my wife and I have now spent 2 weekends finishing. It is not about the money I paid, in full. It IS about the cleanup I did not want to do, myself. Half a job at best! Apparently they don't know how to do better work.
