It was a thorough job. All the grass was cut and hauled away and the area was left clean and pristine.

Several years ago my mother had to hire people to mow her grass. She lives on a busy street corner lot and is very picky about how her yard looks. Over the past years we had several services mow her yard. They all refused to use a regular mower & would use riding mowers which left the grass unevenly cut, laying down in areas, and generally looked unkempt.. I contacted Handy and Sons and was impressed by the ease of discussing the upcoming job, the very reasonable price, and that he uses a regular mulching mower and haul away any spring clean out debris. The spring clean out was outstanding. His weekly mowing is beautiful!! Also, he sends out a monthly statement that lists when he will be mowing and the cost - no guess work or change in costs for whatever reason - all is up front. I and my mother are very impressed with his work and she has said over and over to me how happy she is that I found Handy and Sons to do her yard. I can heartily recommend him to anyone who is tired of excuses for freshly cut but unkempt looking work. He takes pride in his work and it shows!

Our front and back yards are composed of 3 sides of large, deep gardens each. He showed up when he said, worked non-stop and got the job done in one session plus bagged & hauled all of the debri away. He did a better job than I ever have and I have been a picky gardener for over 40 years. His price is very reasonable, he is very personable and I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a really nice looking spring cleaned garden in preparation for summer.

It was good and fine experience. They were professional and they came when they said they would and they gave me an estimate and start the job and I can’t even remember but anyway when they came back I’m late for work and they were left in the house and they do what they suppose to do. They were efficient.

I was very pleased that he was willing to come out to give us his best estimate. He called me back promptly to let me know what the price would be - and then we contracted a date that he would complete the work. Because of the weather at the time, he made sure to let me know that the weather could affect the planned date but that the work would be completed by a specific date. He came 2 days prior to when he said he would come due to the nice weather - and when I asked him about payment he said, "Oh, don't worry about that - I'll just send an invoice." Very professional and warm - he made everything about it very convenient and trouble free for me - I would definitely hire Handy & Sons again.

I hired Jim last year to remove my leafs and they did a great job. He returned my call quickly and was able to get the job done quickly the next week. I called this year and his voicemail said he wasn't taking anymore clients - so left a message asking for a referral. He called me back that afternoon and said he would take care of me this year. Told him I wanted to stay on his listing every fall. As usual they did a great job - I have alot of leaves and my yard looks great. Thanks Jim - I can see why you have so many clients.

As always, Jim came through when I really had a pressing need right away. We were having our garage resided, and I only found out during the walk through with the sider on a Thursday that he needed the multiple small "volunteer" trees around the garage removed because they were so close they would interfere with the siding job. Since these trees were not important,that was fine with me but how to do it before the Monday start day was a problem!
I called Jim and left a message, and he immediately called back and said he could come out the very next day, that Friday. Sure enough, he showed up and made it look so easy with his chainsaw, clearing away all the trees and made everything ready for the siders. I was so grateful, as always. He also hauled away all of the wood, thank goodness.
It was a tremendous help to us, since the job would have taken us all weekend and we would not have known how to do it well. Worth every single penny.

I was out of contact when Handy & Sons performed the work, but Jim communicated the estimate and schedule clearly, and gave me a good heads-up just before doing the work. Both areas worked on look great, and are perfectly primed for our gardening plans. I received a clear invoice immediately after the works was performed, and the price was exactly in line with the estimate. We will definitely use Handy & Sons again.

Jim was great to work with. He was quick to assess the project, make a bid and complete it. Put 200 bags of mulch in our garden beds and it looks great! I would highly recommend him to others.

The experience was great! I really like how I could communicate and set everything up with Jim by e-mail. With my busy schedule, e-mail is much easier for me than trying to catch each other by phone, so I appreciate that. He was quick to respond, and communication was pleasant and clear.
For the move, Jim and another person came a few minutes early and started working right away. It was a lot of work, but they completed everything very smoothly and with good communication. It's such a relief to be able to hand off such a large task to responsible, capable people and have it all done within a matter of hours! This is how I felt about the fall and spring cleanup too. I had previously taken on these kinds of projects myself, and they would take hours and hours over many days, taking up a lot of my time, and physical and mental energy. It's a massive relief to know that when I ask Jim to handle a project, it'll all be done quickly and well. He is the first person I think of when I have a project that he can take on, and I highly, highly recommend him.

He was good. I called them so that somebody could come right away and they were able to fit me in and that was good. They return my calls immediately. Their prices are fair. I will use them in the future.

After trading several phone calls, I spoke with Jim, explaining what I wanted done. He said that he would look at the amount of work and give me a bid, which he did within a day ($100 plus tax). We agreed on a time for the work to be done, but because of the first snowfall, I called to reschedule for a day after the snow had melted. They came on the day that we rescheduled. They usually remove the leaves from the property, taking them to a compost site, but I asked for the leaves to be taken to the rear of the property to provide compost for the native plantings there. They also moved several bags of leaves that had been raked earlier, as I requested. They did an excellent job, completely cleaning up the entire front yard and driveway. I was very impressed with the quality of their work, especially since they were asked to follow a different procedure.

Everything went very well! Communication by e-mail was clear and efficient. When Jim and his sons came, they were professional, thorough, and efficient. They even mowed our lawn for us! Everything was completed very well, and I was impressed by how thorough and fast they were. It wasn't necessary for me for them to be fast, but it was an added bonus, especially compared to how much time it would have taken me to do it myself. They had the manpower and equipment; they made it so easy! Jim even offered to bring black soil to replace the holes that were left by uprooting plants, which I appreciated his initiative and help with that.
I thought it was a very good value for the cost, given how much time it would have taken me to do the same work as well as compared to a previous person we had used, who cost more and didn't do as thorough of a job either. I used up a lot of my free time last summer doing yardwork, and I didn't want to repeat the loss of time again this year. I will definitely be calling them again. This was a very good experience and would highly recommend them.

I was very impressed and I was extremely pleased. They came out and sent somebody out to do a quote. I got the quote two days later in the mail which I consider very prompt. Then we had a question with scheduling and I had put a note on the quote as I said I was traveling on business and I had got this in the mail right before I left and since it was all outdoor work I was kind of hoping they could do it while I was gone. When I returned I had a phone call on my machine basically saying we are booked solid until after you get back but we'll give you a call as soon as we can get you on the schedule and they did that. They turned up on time and they took care of everything really remarkably quickly. I was amazed at how fast I had a different company some years back do something similar and these guys were much faster and everything was cleared out. I was very happy with the work they did. They were roughly half the price and they did a much better job than the people I had in five years ago.
