Josh and his crew did an excellent job removing a big dead tree in my front yard. They chopped the tree down and cleaned up everything down to the last twig. They even left me with wood for the fireplace. I would highly recommend Battle Castle for any landscaping job!!

They installed a minisplit into the brick wall on my home. We still have to have it wired in, but could not hang the unit or do the plumbing work. They did a beautiful job and made suggestions that will make it more efficient and remove headaches we might have had down the road.

Jovany and crew were wonderful. On time, professional, courteous, and did an excellent job. Access to my backyard is a challenge and Jovany completed all the work I needed done climbing over a wall and removing all debris. Pricing was so reasonable and I've asked him to do another job for me....

Okay. They showed up on time. They did not pick up one stick of furniture. It took them about 45 minutes and they were gone. When they got here it was suppose to be $69 but then they had some stain remover for $30 more. All in all overall recommendation: Disappointed.

He remained pleasent and polite when I told him I was upset about baseboards being removed as I did not have time or talent to replace them. Created more work and expense for me as the homeowner. He seemed in a hurry to complete job and did not inform me of problems with tiles.
