I didn't expect a huge crew to show up and blow through the job, but miscommunication between my husband and I was an issue, too, as he wanted them to focus first on clearing leaves, which I had expected him to do! Haha

They cut it down in one yard, piled it in the driveway close to the street. One of the owners came to my door to tell me that they couldn't do all the work in the time that I purchased. They were supposed to send 4 workers, they only sent 3. We had a difference of opinion in how much time he still owed me because of them only sending 3 people. He called the co owner and he came and I purchased more time. I called Angie's List, and this company was recommended. I called and scheduled the work. They called and cancelled and they wanted to reschedule. I agreed to it. They didn't show up when I thought they should.. Not only that, they told me I had to haul away the debris. I understood that was all included when I purchased the deal. They said that Angie's List should have told me that I would have to pay extra to have the debris removed. They came back the next morning, they didn't call or knock. They removed the debris and that is the last time they were here. They did not come back to finish the rest of the yard work.

It went very well. The workers arrived on time and began to promptly complete all the work that we wanted done. They were very efficient and good at what they were doing. We were very pleased with Emes Lawn Co

We bought the mulch and they did the labor of putting it down. They told us how much mulch we needed and we bought a little bit less. There was still quite a bit left and when we came out they had put the rest of it on the driveway. They could have put more down and they said that we should have told them to put it down. That was the reason why we hired them. They were going to leave and just leave the mulch just sitting there. It was bad mulch and it was running down the driveway. I think they were OK, we did have to stay on them a bit. They were on time. I would probably use them again.
Response from Emes Lawn Care & Snow Removal LLC

"We do not have control over the mulch if it was not purchased through us. We use a high quality product. The mulch was dumped on the driveway by the company you purchased it from. The quality was not that great and that is why it is a bit cheaper. We don't like to over fill your beds with mulch. Too much mulch in beds around the house is not good. It should stay at or just below the brick line. Thanks for your business!!"

That was horrible.  I had to tell them to get off my property.  The guy brought four or five guys with him who scared me.  They have tattoos in their faces and look horrible.  They wanted to over charge me for taking away the lawn debris but it was accorded in the account when I bought the deal.  They lead man sat in the car and didn’t do anything and I paid him on an hourly basis also.  He tried to intimidate me when I told him to get off my property.  They loaded the debris in the truck and he wanted me to pay extra for it but I sad that I will not pay for that.  He was scary.
Response from Emes Lawn Care & Snow Removal LLC

"We are an equal opportunity company. We hire based on qualification, not color, race, religion, etc. Did you try talking to the crew that showed up? If you would have, you would see that they are a great group of guys and gals. We do have one employee that has a tattoo on his face. The majority of the crew that did the work at your house were African American. That does not make them scary. Our employees are professional, courteous and wear the company uniforms. I am not sure where you got the information that hauling away the debris was part of the package. It clearly states in the deal that haul away is extra. We do usually have a foreman or two who will show up to job sites. At times they sit in their vehicle and do paperwork or on the phone with customers. We do not charge for their time. It does not come off of the man hours that was purchased."

The day the work was to be performed, Emes Landscaping was punctual.  They arrived with 2 teams of 8 people.  They were very organized, each person knowing what they were to do.  I was very pleased with the end result.  The back hill off of my deck looked so inviting and a perfect oasis to relax. Instead of bees and other unwanted insects we are now visited by the most gorgeous butterflies.  They love the lovely perennials that were planted.  Emes was creative and really helped me with pricing, as they knew I was getting ready to list my home.  The house sold immediately!  Thank you Emes!

Communication with the provider was terrible. Once I was able to get someone out to the house to discuss the project things went well.

If I had not purchased a "deal" I may have not gone through the hassle. I have a number of beds that needed weeding and needed old mulch removed. The work performed was great. I am not sure if I would use them again because it was so hard to communicate.
Response from Emes Lawn Care & Snow Removal LLC

"We apologize for the communication issues. We did have some issues with our phone system and messages. We have met with our phone provider rep and taken care of these issues. We did better communicating via email as that was up and running fine. We left a message on our voice mail to communicate via email if there was an issue with the phone communication for this reason. In any case, the issue has been resolved and should not be a problem any more. As you could see from the actual service, we strive to make our customers happy and we do a pretty good job at it. Thanks\ you for your business!"

Response from Emes Lawn Care & Snow Removal LLC

"Please read the storefront deal. It states that the hours bought are man hours. It explains that for a 4 hour package the man hours means 1 worker for 4 hours, 2 workers for 2 hours, 4 worker for 1 hour etc. If we came with 4 workers and worked for over an hour, you got the full 4 hour package plus some extra time. Sometimes customers buy a 4 hour package but the work the customer wants done takes longer. In that case, as the deal states, we charge for the additional hours. There are time the customer does not want to pay for additional hours so the workers need to rush the job to try to get it complete in the time given. They may overlook some things or not be able to pay attention to details as they normally would had they had the time to do so. We hope you understand that we try to do a thorough and complete job but sometimes it takes more time than was purchased. We try to explain that to the customer when that happens. We are not trying to get more money out of it, we are just trying to do a great job. Thank you for your business."

"This customer had us come out and do a large job. As part of the job he wanted us fix an area of his yard. We gave him our professional opinion of how to take care of the problem. He had his own idea and wanted us to do it his way. We complied. He then paid us for the work by check. His check came back NSF. We tried getting in touch with him. He ended up calling us back after a while because the fix we did his way did not work. He admitted that he should of had us do it they way we suggested. In good faith, we came back out and fixed the issue from scratch. He then refused to pay for the fix. We ended up agreeing to split the cost. It then took us another 4-5 months after to get paid. He then wanted us to do more work and continued upkeep. We politely turned it down. We try very hard to make our customers happy. We work with our customers and bend over backwards. In this case we actually took a loss over all."

They were very nice to work with; removed the tree and shrubs very quickly and neatly. 

I would use them again but I am not in their service area; used an Angie's online coupon which

really helped.

Due to the weather, the appointment was delayed a couple of times.  This didn't bother me as I was able to email a picture of the bushes and small tress I wanted removed.  They called me to confirm what they saw in the pictures.  I also tied string around the items to be removed.  They came when I was at work and performed the job.  I was impressed with the job and with the clean-up they did too.  I was amazed at how clean they left the yard and driveway.  I'd recommend this company.

The team A crew came with five individuals who never stopped working from the time they arrived until they left.  They were knowledgable and careful in their work, making sure that no wanted plants were damaged.  They worked so hard and conscientiously that I asked if they owned the business.  I was surprised when they replied they did not.  I had always done my own gardening work, but I would certainly use this company again.

  • 1.) Communication with this company can be challenging, no one mans the phones during normal hours and if you get voice mail you do not get any return calls.  I had to send an email TWICE in order to initiate a call on their part.  They scheduled and then rescheduled at my convenience, due to weather, which I appreciate.  Everyone was friendly and we felt the scheduling, was of ease if you can overcome the challenging of speaking with them live.
  • 2.)  The advertised price special is misleading as you will most likely end up with a multiple man crew and reduced hours.  There were 5 people to show up for our job, but no one was 100% CLEAR on exactly how long they were to be here.   I spoke to a manager the morning they were scheduled to arrive and he said they'd be here almost 2.5 hours since there were 5 people coming; but the crew was planning to leave in 2 hours until I went outside to speak with their crew chief and indicated what I had been told earlier by their Manager.     I don't want to have to "debate" about time paid for, I feel their policy on this is very ambiguous.  It should be clear, consistent and in writing - not a verbal misunderstanding amongst all parties.  
  • 3.) As Ive seen other reviews mention, not all the workers are actively working or working at a steady pace for the allotted time they are there.  We experienced this.  Plenty of time spent on smoke breaks or checking phones by some (not all), which diminished productivity in the 2-ish short hours available to us.
  • 4.) Yard waste was put into paper bags we provided and set at the curb.  However, they were packed so full - even they would not have been able to lift or carry them had we paid to have them lift and remove them.  Several broke and we were left with a monster clean-up mess at the end of our driveway on trash day.  It was a nightmare and we would've expected they be more mindful about how full and heavy the waste bags are.   We gave the crew a small tip before they left, but had we realized we'd be doing their clean-up post visit, we would not have.

Landscaped my front and side yards. Quality was good, no issues. There were a couple of things I wanted done that weren't, but they did most of the work while I was not there, so it's not like I was able to closely supervise. The overall improvement to the appearance of my home was substantial.

Emes Lawn Care cut down huge honeysuckle in front yard, created a bed, and planted 5 endless summer hydrangea.  Added mulch, trimmed honeysuckle along driveway, cleaned gutters in house and garage and purchased timed water box and sprinkler. 

Went above and beyond by stopping to manually water the hydrangea before automatic timed sprinkler could be found and installed.  Installation of sprinkler was tricky and they persevered until the final solution was reached. All this with good humor.

I would highly recommend them and plan to use their services again.  Special thanks to Mike and his dedication to his calling.
