EP Mowing & Landscaping Inc

I noticed the EP Mowing crew working in my neighbors front yard. I approached the crew foreman to see if he could give me a quote for some landscaping work that I needed done. The foreman was very professional and provided me with a quote and told me that if I wanted, he could do the work right now. I was a little apprehensive but watched his staff do their work. I was impressed with my neighbors finished products so I agreed to have the work done. The crew started work on my yard as soon as they completed the work on my neighbors yard. EP Mowing was more expensive than another company I had contracted to do the work. They did a great job and cleaned up and took all the mulch, leaves and hedges that they removed. I would recommend this company and will use them again for more work that I need done. I wish that they would post Angies deals or give a discount for being an Angie's list customer.

Fine. EP is always timely and efficient in job completion. I'm a repeat customer.

This was delicate tree removal work to avoid damage to other very close trees. Work was done when scheduled. EP was lowest of three bidders. Meticulous cleanup.

Not only was EP Landscaping very thorough, they were quick too!  I appreciated their responsiveness and great work ethic.  They cleaned my gutters and cleared all debris (sticks, leaves, etc.) from my yard all at a great price!  I would recommend them to anyone that needs some help around the house!

The crew was terrific and Enrique (the E in EP) really brought our vision to reality. The crew was willing to plant and replant bushes until we got things just the way we wanted them. They were terrific.

I think they do a good job for lawn maintence. I prefer to use them for lawn treatment.

EP brought in a large team and heavy equipment. They got a 120 foot hickory off the house with no further damage to the structure in addition to removing 3 other large trees.

Never returned my calls

I had a very good experience with this company. An employee provided a free on-site estimate for the work ahead of time. A crew arrived and performed all the work. I was at work at the time, but my neighbor who was home commented on the efficiency of the crew. I got home from work and the yard looked great. I got a bill in the mail a couple of days later. I didn't even have to miss any work to have the work done--very much appreciated. Four years later, the sod is still in great shape and no roots ever emerged from the area where the hedge was removed. Initially, I had requested to have grass seed sewn, but an employee explained to me over the phone that it was too late in the fall to do this and suggested sod instead. I really like this company and have recommended them to neighbors. Their price for the work couldn't be beat.

They came and give us an estimate for the grading job. We fixed the date for 45 days later needing to have HOA authorization. The day before they called and asked to have AC/Heat unit removed. We had to find someone at the very last minute. The job was done properly on the left side of the house. However, we were expecting the grading to be much higher than what was done. When we asked to add more soil to increased the grading slope, we were told that was not possible because they finished the soil available. The sod was purely reposition and is now missing in some areas. They never fixed it even after we show it to them. Under the deck the job was purely done and not as we discussed. We wanted to have the insulation material replaced and totally covered with soil and gravel. None of this was done. When we called to ask them what was the reason, they said this was not in their proposal. We explained exactly what we wanted under the deck, but probably they forgot what we discussed 45 days before. We then asked them to come and give us a new estimate to finish the job. They never came. Six month later we are having problem this the PVC pipe they purely installed. There are two huge halls in our side yard, always muddy were the sum-pumps discharge. The grading is already sinking in this two areas.

EP employees are as sweet as can be. I've had enough conversations with them to know but sweet definitely isn't enough to get the job done. Over the course of last season there was much, much miscommunication with EP: in the spring they came to mow the lawn the morning AFTER I'd had it seeded! (there I stood in my jammies for the whole neighborhood to see, screaming for EP to stop mowing what wasn't there in the first place to mow!); once the lawn finally matured, they persisted all summer in cutting the grass too short; then in the fall they failed to show up to mow one last time before the leaves really piled up, though I'd phoned several times about this. They never did do the final mowing. When they did show up to collect the leaves the crew had to squeeze me in between other jobs, which forced them to work on my lawn well past dark, not exactly optimal conditions for leaf removal and lawn clean-up. To help them see what it was they were doing I ended up running lights and extension cords around the yard and equipping some of the men with flashlights. I had a contract with EP so I really felt stuck here. Now to EP's credit, they did the work and more or less, did a good job, but there was a lot of phone calling back and forth and much confusion before that happened. I paid them in full the amount that I contracted for. They did, after all, do the work and I thought, well, that's the end of that. But now today in the mail comes another bill, this one for $250, though who can say what it's for. There's no explanation and of course I have no intention of paying it. So, sigh, I'll be back on the phone with EP, sorting this out. My impression is that, sweet as they are, they are way, way, way, way, way over extended and have more clients and jobs than they can reasonably handle. Plus, the crews are almost entirely Spanish speaking, which compounds the trouble.

We have used E.P. Mowing now for three years. They send a crew to work on our property every week in the summer. They apply fertilizer, insecticides, and other needed treatments to the lawn. We have a 60 foot long steep hillside planted with junipers that was totally out of control with weeds. They put pre-emergent on the hill prior to mulching and have brought that situation totally under control. They arrive faithfully each week and take care of the property well. Occasionally we have had to notify them that we had insect problems in the lawn and on the juniper beds. They have applied special treatments and planted new grass in places to keep the property looking nice.

They were quick to do the estimate and very polite and professional. They did the job the day after I accepted the estimate. Upon request they provided their insurance certificate immediately via fax and then brought another copy with them. On the fly they accepted a request to remove two overgrown shrubs from our front yard for just $60. That was great. They used about 4 guys plus the crew leader and brought the tree down very quickly. As promised they hauled away all the wood. Then, they just left for a few hours without finishing the stump or collecting money. Odd. Later just the crew leader returned to do the stump. That went fine, but I think he ran out of steam because he didn't grind some very obvious and big roots. Not a deal breaker, but a little disappointing. Overall it was a great project and I was very comfortable and happy with them. The quote was several hundred dollars less than the other I got, too!

Terrific! Enrique is very prompt, responsive, friendly, professional! Work was done exactly as I had specified and I could not have asked for better clean up!

Quick to come and do an estimate. Very pleasant to deal with. Ground out stump to the my specifications -- something other companies have failed to do before. Would definitely use again.

Good, prompt quote. Found on Angie's List and I could well have used. Reason I did not was same quote from another Angie's List member who also included a copy of their insurance certificate in their quote.

See comments under work performed. I got many prices and Quality was by far the best price. Work was performed in the Barcroft area of South Arlington.

Did an excellent job for the price, also did a great clean-up after! Highly recommend.

We are really pleased with the work that this company did for us! Rick was quick to return calls and schedule us for an estimate and then a tree removal date. We had purchased a play set for our yard and we needed the trees removed before it could be delivered. He got us on his schedule quickly and arrived to do the job on time. His estimate was very reasonable based on our experience with other companies. This was a big job and we were really impressed at how consistently they worked all day through record heat removing the trees. They came back the next day to finish and complete the job and also made sure our neighbors' yards were clean before they left. (Several trees were right at the fence line.) Rick was very helpful and took the time to temporarily fix a hole in the fence left by one of the trees. This was a big help because we have a dog that might have gotten out through that opening in the fence. This company was professional, easy to work with, and hard working!

I received excellent svc from the beginning with the call for an estimate appt to the final brush and debris removal. Mr. Kurtzhals provided all the details req'd in the removal of the 5 trees. I was given a time estimate, as well as, a payment estimate, which I'd never been offered by a competitor. W/ all the info. given and attn. to detail when the job was explained to me, I felt that they were a very experienced and competent contractor. Although he was the lowest estimate that I had rec'd, w/ the confidence shown about his abilities and service in the past. I would've chosen Quality Lawn and Tree to facilitate this project for me, regardless. The crew was very effective and efficient in their jobs. The job was done well within the time frame in the estimate as well as the removal of all the debris and wood.There was absolutely nothing for me to do once they were completed.I ve already and will cont. to give anyone wanting tree service, referral info to this company. They were great.

The estimate was the same as another company, but for less work. I was going to get Quality to do the work, so called back and asked if they could do everything the other company was going to do for the same price. He said they would, but when I asked if he would write it up on another estimate, he became hesitant. I wasn't questioning his word, but seemed like the business-like thing to do. Also, the literature he gave me originally, said they would beat any competitors estimate by 10% (guaranteed). He wouldn't lower the estimate though. Also, got their name from Angie's List, and had a 15% coupon. I called and requested an estimate, but did not mention Angie's List until after the estimate. Again, he was at rock bottom price and couldn't lower the estimate. So, to me, it seems that people not on the List get the same price as people on the List. I think they are an exceptional company as far as their work in the field goes, but they need to work on their ethics.

Although I kept them for the entire mowing season, they always cut my lawn too short. They did not come on the same day each week. Other than the fact that they mowed the lawn and that's what I paid them to do, I was very dissatisfied with the service. The people that performed the service were hard workers but did not speak English so it was difficult to explain to them that the grass was too short. This problem may have been avoided if I had the opportunity to contact the office but because of an extended family crisis I was unable to concentrate on this issue.
