Aries Yard Works

It worked out great. Laura the owner was just really responsive, she got back to me right away and got the job done right away. The big deal was for $99 and I paid them $450 more for all the extra work I had them do.

my two hour purchase was an initial work order. they returned for a day's worth of weeding, trimming, and hauling. the supervisor and her team were very conscientious, professional, and efficient. they offered knowledgeable advice. however, we were not in a position to continue on a "regular" basis for further cleanup activities at this time.

Came by quick to give me an estimate for dump fees and was on time for the work a couple of days later.

Laura called promptly and was on time (even early) for our appointment. She did not seem interested in giving us an estimate for the basic work we wanted performed (edge/yard cleanup). We were hoping to get basic service for the $99 we had paid and, if we were happy with that, we would hire them for regular service once or twice a month. Laura was more interested in getting us to hire her company to do a much larger job than we were interested in at this time. She gave us an estimate of around $2,750 for a complete yard cleanup. We actually entertained the idea, until we read reviews from others who had the same type of job done for $550 - $750. When she had not heard back from us, she sent us an email offering to do the work for $1,500. This struck us as a little desperate. We learned that her company was in a difficult financial situation due to an accident, and felt that she was trying to get us to hire them for a highly inflated amount because of her situation. We applied for a refund of our $99 and received it. Laura was a nice lady, but we would not consider hiring her company because of this experience.

Great! Very conscientious and thorough. Takes real pride in their work and final product.

They never contacted me to begin with, I had to reach out to them. Once we got the appointment scheduled, they were a no call, no show. Requested a refund.

The workers were professional and did a good job, but there were a couple of issues. Specifically, the lady who came out to provide the estimate was a bit pushy and wasn't very friendly. She also didn't properly communicate the scope of the job to the workers because they weren't adequately equipped to do the work. Additionally, I ended up paying $125.00 in addition to the $99.00 that I paid to purchase the Big Deal.

Job went very well. The team did exactly what I wanted.

My yard is not very big, and she wanted $825 for the work, which seemed too high. In the meantime, our neighbor was complaining about some bamboo encroaching under their stone patio, so we needed to get rid of it. I found a specialist in bamboo removal for that job. I told her the bamboo had to be removed, so not to include it in the estimate. She only took $25 off, so it was unclear exactly what she was charging the other $800 for. I didn't hire the work to be done. The pruning and weeding will have to wait.

I ended up pruning my daphne and going over the over bushes. I could have had other people do it for less money. I am very unhappy with this service

It was an Angie's list Big Deal that I purchased. It was good. A lot of time was given and they were punctual. They provided a very high quality of service. They used a sickle and it was a very difficult job. They did not show any hesitation in getting the job done. I thought they were very time efficient and they were able to clear up the area.

The job was never done. I will not use her or your service what a rip off.

My mother's yard needed some work to get it ready to rent. Laura was creative, able to see the big picture and knowledgeable about plants.The cost seemed high to me and I ended up paying more than I had planned, but the work was well done.

Laura came to give me an estimate on the work I wanted done. She then commented on how my lilac bush needed pruning. She showed me exactly and in detail why she felt the work was necessary. She seemed quite knowledgeable and took time to explain things to my satisfaction. I will call her in the future.

Laura was excellent. She made the yard look beautiful. She was very nice and up beat. Her helpers were also very polite.

.the workers were polite, hardworking,no nonsense guys who treated the plants with respect and imagination. the front and back yards provided plenty of plants but many had to be relocated due to growth or sunlight needs etc. at the end of 2 days the place looked wonderful, organized, clean and interesting. i was so impressed that we have now made arrangements to provide routine regular care. laura and crew are dependable, helpful and friendly.

Aries Yard Works was very responsive, thorough and completed the work exactly as I had requested. They worked in miserable weather.

I had to pay extra for debris removal that should have been made clear at the time of purchase. Work done was okay, I just don't think I got what I paid for compared to other landscaping companies I have used.

They were good. The charge was reasonable and they did a good job.

They did an awesome job! There was a plant they could not save due to weed issues and Lara Iris brought new plants to replace this one plant and gave me 4 plants to compensate for this one plant that was unsalvageable. Theyalso finished up an area they were afraid to work on due to an old sprinkler system and put in paving stones to help next to a fence door. So very impressed due to their work and thoroughness. Laura Iris gave me so much good information regarding my lawn and what I need to do to maintain things. Great crew that actually hand weeded mt beds after they tilled them and hand removed the weeds out of my wall and driveway.

Good job overall. However, the subcontractor they used trimmed well above where we showed him to cut. I had to tell him to do it over. He did so, but wasted time on the first cut, which cost us money, since we contracted with them for hourly work.

I was a little dismayed to see one of the ferns cut back to the stalks at this time of year, but as it was self-sown and had survived our very partial gardening skill over several years, I think it will come back. The job went well overall. The back is now very clear for us to plant more ground-cover and the front has been amended and planted and so can fill out over the rest of spring. They left watering & care instructions for us so as to have the front the way we wanted it to end up looking.

Growing up, my mom taught me that if you can't say something nice, don't way anything at all......I thought about remaining silent (in explanation for the 2 month delay in feedback) then realized that if everyone on Angie"s list did that I'd not be able to benefit from the wonderful people that take the time to give their opinions. I truly thank everyone and have benefited from your feedback several times since becoming a member. Therefore... They called stating it would be a while before they could perform the service due to a large response to their Angie's List ad, then called back an hour later making an appointment for the next day. They arrived an hour late. We discussed the work and the way I wanted the shrubs trimmed. They assured me they could do all the shrubs surrounding the house. They only did a portion of the work, leaving the 2 largest bushes untrimmed and did not trim the shrubs to my requested spec's. I would not use them again and feel that I've wasted $69.00

Laura met with me soon after I paid for the Angies List coupon, and we agreed on the work and the date it would be done. Unfortunately, Laura and her crew were in an accident the night before our work was scheduled, so the work had to be pushed off a few days. This was unavoidable so I did not ding here for this. However, I specifically ordered the compost to arrive the day before they were scheduled to work, so I had to cover the pile so that it did not get soaked with the rain due the next few days before Laura could get out here. Laura and her crew were supposed to start at 9:00. About 8:30 I got a call from Laura saying the crew was running late but she would be here by 9:00. She arrived at 9:15, we went over the scope of work again, and she said her crew was 5-10 minutes away, and that she would wait for them at the bottom of the hill. She also said they would complete the job, even if it took longer than the man hours I paid for. After about 20 minutes, I looked out the window, and not only was the crew not there, but Laura was packing things in her truck and then took off! I was bewildered and called her, got her voice mail and left a not so nice message. Fortunately, about 10 minutes later, her crew of two showed up. Once they were here, they worked hard. It is not easy bringing the compost up by the barrel up several steps and two hills to put it in place. But they were diligent and completed the job even though it did take longer to do than the hours my coupon covered. So kudos to the crew for a great job and thanks Laura for ensuring the job got done even though it took more time than expected.

She did a good job. She was unable to complete the work on the first visit. She did come back out to finish the work she said she would do, though it was a little bit later than anticipated. It was a result of the weather conditions at the time, so it was not her fault. They did a good job and I would recommend them to anyone.
