What recent reviews say

Most reviewers praise Eclipse for responsive communication, skilled work, and creative design across multiple projects. Dylan and Shawn personally oversee jobs and keep clients informed. However, one detailed complaint from 2023 flags serious issues: the estimator underbudgeted a deck project, electrical work was unlicensed and later needed rework, and the owner became difficult when costs exceeded the contract.

Praised for
  • responsive and attentive communication
  • skilled crew and quality work
  • personal service and owner oversight
  • reliable and timely completion
  • design expertise and creative ideas
Watch-outs
  • project underbudgeted and cost overruns
  • unlicensed electrical work and rework needed
  • messy job sites and debris left behind
  • poor communication after disputes arose

Best for: Homeowners wanting owner-involved oversight and design collaboration on landscape or hardscape projects.
Think twice if: Budget-conscious clients should confirm scope and get detailed cost breakdown upfront; unlicensed trade work and cost disputes are documented concerns.

Strengths

  • Owner and manager present on site to oversee quality
  • Integrated design and build in-house
  • Strong track record across repeat clients over years
  • Personalized attention to detail and client communication

Worth knowing

  • Dylan (general manager) and Shawn Dane (owner) lead projects and visit job sites regularly
  • Crew includes Juan, Jacob, Chris (subcontractor for decking), Adam (mentioned in older reviews for design), and others
  • Past work includes retaining walls, paver replacement, deck building with electrical and water lines, drainage solutions (french drains), fence installation, irrigation and smart sprinkler controllers, stonework, and landscape renovation
  • One 2023 project included unlicensed electrical trenching work that required later correction
  • Estimated project costs and detailed scope provided to clients

YardDoc

4.9(218)✓ Verified

YardDoc staff consistently show up on time, address problems efficiently, and explain work in plain language. Technicians like Chris and Christian earn praise for friendliness and professionalism; office staff including Rachel Banker and Ashleigh handle scheduling smoothly and keep customers informed throughout jobs. Handyman work (patio doors, wooden staircases) and pest control (ants, raccoons, spiders, rodents) draw particular praise for quality and cost-effectiveness. Two recent one-star reviews cite communication failures but lack detail; the business resolves 97% of its 218 reviews at five stars, outperforming the category average of 4.72. Across landscaping, lawn care, and pest control services, YardDoc staff demonstrate consistent professionalism and follow-through. Named technicians (Jorge, Balthazar, Eddy, Angel) are credited with meticulous exterior work and attentive project management. Pest control responses are swift and solution-focused. The rare negative feedback suggests isolated lapses in back-and-forth communication, but overwhelmingly reviewers report transparent pricing, respectful service, and willingness to go beyond the job scope.

Top Choice Lawn Care

Top Choice earns strong marks for capable crews who show up on time and finish work carefully. Staff like Ford, Jeremy, and Lisa earn repeat loyalty. A small group of recent reviews flag billing surprises, lack of daily arrival windows, and difficult onboarding conversations that leave newcomers frustrated. Most customers experience straightforward lawn and irrigation service at competitive rates. Named technicians (Johnny for irrigation, Lisa for landscape design, Jeremy for field work) appear to drive satisfaction. The two-star complaints stem from portal issues, auto-pay mishaps, and unclear expectations at signup rather than poor fieldwork.
