What recent reviews say

Seven of eight reviews praise Ben's work, reliability, and design skill across yards and tree work. One recent caller reported a hostile phone encounter, though the business claims it was a phishing call.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Recent shift: One recent (2 years ago) one-star review for phone rudeness stands in sharp contrast to consistent five-star reviews from prior years, suggesting either a shift in customer-facing approach or isolated incident depending on account validity.

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.

Eclipse Landscape & Construction

4.4(25)✓ Verified

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.

Top Choice Lawn Care

4.8(629)✓ Verified

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.
