VERY pleased ! I had an old koi pond that needed removed, I called on Tuesday and it was done on Friday before I was off work! Cost was 1500 but he gave us a 1st service discount to 1263. I would use his company again and recommend!

my wife put in a request to have trees and a retaining wall removed from our backyard. they were able to come out the same afternoon for a quote. we scheduled the following day and they were back before the weekend. full crew had everything torn out and cleaned up in a matter of hours. very friendly staff would definitely use them again

Jay and his team are amazing! I needed some stumps removed from my yard, and he was quick to respond with an answer and very reasonable prices. His crew was there earlier than the time he gave me, they were extremely efficient and even offered to clear the area I was doing for my firepit. In a world that has forgotten about customer service, Jay restored the faith it is still out there. Would easily recommend and would definitely book again for any job like this. Kudos, Jay!!

I contacted them on Saturday. They offered to do the work the next day, but my schedule wouldn’t allow that. They arrived bright and early this morning and worked hard. The work looks great, and I will definitely hire them again. Jay is very personable and detail oriented. I have a large dog, and he had the workers check with me before moving to the fenced back yard. I am very pleased with the work they did.

DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY! Although Jay may seem like a nice person when he gave me my quote, he is actually a pretty shady guy and conducts bad business. He came to my property and totally destroyed my flower beds! To have a landscaping business without any experience at all is misleading and should be some form of fraud! I paid $625 to get my yard butchered by this company. When I told him I wasn’t satisfied with job, he said he would give me refund. Then proceeded to block my number the very next day. I definitely should have read the all the bad reviews! But now I know better!

I am extremely disappointed that I did not consider more negative reviews before hiring this company. Jay, one of the owners, was extremely nice when we met for a quote so I trusted him and ultimately hired him for a large landscape project around our property. Upon arrival, 2 hours early and unannounced, he began trimming (aka butchering) my bushes and plants before I got outside to see it. Two of his employees arrived hours later with another individual that sat in the car the entire time they were here. As friendly as everyone is, they are not professional landscapers by any stretch and should not advertise as such. Weeds and clippings from butchered trimming were not cleaned out of beds before they started haphazardly throwing mulch everywhere. When I went out and saw this I had to end it and now have to pay another landscaper to finish my projects. We paid Jay $1,890 and three days later we’re pulling weeds again. If you want a friendly encounter, Jay is your guy. If you want a professional landscaping company, this is not it.

We used E&L for mulch and landscaping. They were on time, friendly and did a great job

May 24, 2024

Their website claimed they are BBB accredited with rating A but matter of fact they are not BBB accredited at all. Address is fake and no one knows E &L lawn care at given address. Stopped the patio work without any communication and stop accepting calls. Poor response over the call and text. At the end disputed the transaction from the bank to get money back.

Weve used E&L for spring cleanup, mulching, and weekly mowing services. Several neighbors have commented on how nice the yard looks.

May 24, 2024

we hired them to mow, mulch, and weed. we paid them and they came out and mowed but did not mow to our actual property line. so there was a huge part that was not mowed. Also the mulching was HORRIBLE! there was our old mulch everywhere and they did did not mulch well at all. it was spread to thin so you could barely tell they mulched. Also they do not spread the mulch and leave clumps all over your beds and if you patio stones ect. they will just cover them with mulch. They did a very lazy job, they also just mulched over a lot of the weeds and pulled very few weeds. Here is the worst part, we texted the owner our issues and he promised to come out on a Saturday and fix everything by 7pm. We went out on Saturday and nothing was done. We texted him the next day and the day after to see why nothing was fixed and he has completely ghosted us. This is the most unproffessional and lazy company I have ever delat with. please save your money and DO NOT HIRE THEM!!

I have hired E&L Lawncare multiple times over the years and have always been satisfied with the results. Jay started his company from scratch and has brought a solid team of workers with him to complete the job each time. Im excited to support a local business, run well by a professional.

Awful

January 24, 2022

We strongly do not recommend this company. We regret we did not do more background research before hiring them. Jay, the owner, took the money and ran and left his workers to finish the job. We were told they would fix the problems we asked them to fix, but they left without fixing them. We contacted Jay immediately after the job and he said he would come back to fix the problems. He never called back or came back. We were left with a hatchet job on our hedges. After a month of many ignored phone calls and messages and a text message sent with photos, we have gotten no response and we are being completely ignored. We had to hire someone else to come and fix the mess they made of our hedges. In 22 years of us living here, E&L was the most expensive hedge trimming and the absolute worst job. Buyer beware. Jay, the owner is a sweet talker and plays on being a vet to get you to think he is honest and responsible, which clearly he is not. He is truly an embarrassment to all honorable veterans.

Would not recommend this company! The owner does not respond to texts, does not pickup calls or call back after initial conversation. We are glad we didnt hire them for our lawn care!

Wonderful customer service. The staff were very professional and extremely neat with their work. My yard needed TLC and they truly gave it more than that. What a big difference from previous experiences with other companies. I definitely will continue using this company. Best of all they are specialized in other skills of landscaping most dont do.

January 24, 2020

We hired E&L to do a spring cleanup and then the weekly/biweekly mowing. They did do a great job on the cleanup and mulching; so much so I actually paid them more than the agreed-upon amount. However, they completely dropped the ball on the mowing. They never returned. I have sent numerous texts wondering about when the mowing will get done. I got one text assuring me that we were on the schedule but it has been 3 weeks since the cleanup, our grass is a foot long and they are not responding. How do you run a business without responding to customers? I would never recommend them.

Dont waste your money. I chose to pay this company a premium to do my edging and mulching because my normal person couldnt do it in my time frame this year due to a staffing shortage and this company said they could complete it that week. After paying them upon completion, we found two beds facing the neighbors that were not finished and one entire bed was missed along the back of the house. I called the foreman Taylor within minutes of his leaving, voicemail not set up, I texted with no reply. Two days later I call him again and he answers and apologizes, he saw my text but had been busy. Will be out in a couple days to finish. The week came and went with no show and no communication. I finally call the owner of the company who doesnt answer either but texts me back and states Taylor will be out to finish the job and I should contact the owner back after Taylor takes care of it. The next day Taylor calls and apologizes, provides some excuses and tells me he will be out Weds., now 2 weeks since I hired them. No one ever showed that week either so I sent the owner back a message letting him know that Taylor had still not shown up to complete the job. 4 days later no reply from the owner. I bought my own mulch and finished the job myself this weekend. They have zero customer service and I am shocked they are still in business. DONT DO IT TO YOURSELF, HIRE ANYONE ELSE!

Do not hire this company. On May 28, 2019, they charged me $530 to mulch around weeds. Zero spring cleaning or bed edging was performed. At first, I was promised a partial refund, then later on a FULL refund. We set up a time to meet so I could receive this refund, but the owner stood me up and turned off his cellphone. The owner has not answered his phone or returned any of my phone calls or texts since May 31. Services provided were laughable and the customer service is even worse. Save your money and hire your teenager neighbor -- youre guaranteed to get a better result.

I want to say E&L LawnCare did a phenomenal job on my front and back yard. My back yard was the worst. It looked like a jungle, as if Tarzan was living in my back yard. No one else would touch my back yard. I kept getting rejected by other lawncare companies. They wouldn t service the back yard due to how high the grass shrubs were and weeds. Those companies were afraid of damaging their equipment. E&L LawnCare had the necessary equipment and resources to make my back-yard look like a yard again. I m very happy E&L LawnCare was available. They provided me with great service.

E & L Lawn Care left mud and rocks in my driveway. In addition, they blocked my driveway with a trailer. When I asked the owner and crew to move the trailer, they stonewalled, taunted and laughed. They did everything but cooperate. They recommended I call the police on them, for example. What reputable company chides anyone to call the police on them. I can only conclude that E & L Lawn Care has absolutely no business acumen. Judge for yourself by searching for and evaluating their ratings and reviews. I would never, ever recommend this company to anyone: Caveat Emptor!!!! The vendor is wrong in the claim that I did not do business with them. I did hire E and L Lawn care and had to hire another company to do the job right. Once again this company is not honest. Plus, E and L Lawn Care should not be able to rate themselves to improve their rating. Subtract the 10 stars this company gave itself and their rating falls below 3 stars. Simply sad.

Jay Edwards (owner) collected money from me for a power wash and sealing job. He only did the power wash and disappeared.

I reached out to E&L Lawn Care after getting several referrals and hearing great things about their quality of work and fair pricing. I called and spoke to Jay Edwards who was extremely knowledgeable and very professional. I told him what I was looking for and he came out and went over the edging, mulching and pruning that I wanted done and took the time to answer all of my questions. Due to my comfort level with Jay, we decided to use E&L and I am glad we did. I have used several other companies in the past who charged more money and the work was subpar at best and E&L did an excellent job and exceeded my expectations. Since the first job, we have had them out several more times and found them to be transparent with their pricing and consistent in their quality of work. I am not one to write reviews but felt compelled to share my experience with E&L Lawn Care as you will not find a more reputable company who does superior work at a reasonable price!

This company is awesome! If you want quality at an affordable price, then by all means go with E and L Lawn Care. They installed pavers in my patio for under a $1,000! You cant beat that price. Most landscaping companies want to do work for a minimum of $2,500. I had pavers installed for 80 square feet and I paid less than a $1,000. E and L Lawn Care did an amazing job!

After weeds they hand pulled and spread weed killer over had fully returned the following week, the company did respond to our concerns and came out to our property to re-spray their weed killer. Plus, the mulching and edging they did was good.

E & L Lawn Care E & Lawn Care and owner is very unprofessional. I have never seen a business ran in such a poor manner that their actions seems criminal and should be out of business. They have numerous complaints from customers and refuse to return calls or refund money for unsatisfactory work. **Beware that they will take your money and run to the next customer. I would never recommend this business to anyone. Don t throw away your money. Get the best return on your investment and seek professional services elsewhere.**

Loyalty, is a human quality to be sure, I, however, know a business that has that quality, too: E & L Lawn Care of Columbus, Ohio. I have been with E & L for over 7 years and they have never let me down. In the Spring and Summer the E & L Crews come to my home weekly to mow, edge, and clear my patio, walkways, flower beds, and driveway of grass clippings. If clumps of grass are left on the lawn after mowing, those are power blown away also. My lawn has the professional, manicured look I desire. In the Autumn, my leaves are gathered and hauled away flawlessly. Theres not a leaf, branch or twig left on my lawn or in my landscaping to rot and cause bare spots next Spring. In the Winter, my walkways and driveway are cleared of ice and snow. If a storm is particularly bad, it is nothing to see the E & L Crew out clearing driveways and sidewalks at midnight, or one or two in the morning so the client is safely able to navigate out of the garage to get on his way to job. Thats loyalty! E & L is a large business with many, many clients; nevertheless, they operate as if they are a small, mom and pop organization making sure the client for whom they are working is treated like a close, personal friend. The business is loyal to its clients...isnt that refreshing.

I am disappointed by this company. They installed 6 ornamental grass plants in my yard, 3 of which never grew and were actually dead. I notified the salesman and was told they were covered and would be replaced, He was very apologetic. I didnt realize that he had no intention of replacing the plants until 7 weeks later and multiple emails asking for assistance that I still have 3 big holes in my yard. I will never contact this company again and I will be telling everyone I know how I was treated.

January 24, 2016

Back in June I called E & L to come and take a look at our pavers to see if they could tear them out, replenish the gravel, level, and re lay them. They came out and met with me. While there, I asked if they could transplant some hydrangea bushes (since they are a lawn care business), and if they could clean gutters. They said yes to all the projects, and we set a date for them to start. Then, they came back that same day saying they could clean the gutters and transplant the bushes (we would agree to wait and keep the original date for the paver project). Their pricing was way too high on gutter cleaning, and way too low on the pavers, but I was desperate as the gutters were full and so I told them to go ahead. They transplanted 6 hydrangeas, and broke them in doing so, and left roots exposed (did not dig deep enough holes). 3 ended up dying shortly afterward. The crew was up on the roof and appeared to be cleaning the gutters (the neighbors said they were loud, and on their cell phones most of the time). I paid them $700. for transplanting the bushes and gutter cleaning. The next day I looked at the gutters and they were full of leaves and debris. I took a picture and texted them and asked if they could come back and clean them. After hearing nothing, I hired another person (less money) who came the next day and said the gutters at the top of the house were full, and showed me the bucket full of leaves and debris he just cleaned out of them. He also cleaned stuff out of all the other gutters that E & L had neglected to clean. I then asked E & L for at least part of the money back ($300), and cancelled the paver project. I have never gotten the money back, and have had to deal with replacing 3 bushes and the extra cost of getting the gutters clean.

January 24, 2015

I contracted E & L Lawn Care to do a landscape job that included planting 8 trees on my property. The trees were installed in the wrong places not as Mr. Edwards and I had agreed upon. Mr. Edwards came out the next morning and replanted the trees in the proper locations. I was told that all of the plants had a one year warranty. One of the trees quickly died. Around 9/17/2013 Mr. Edwards came and replaced the tree very promptly and reassured me that the trees had a one year warranty. I have since had an additional tree die and no matter my efforts it seems as if two more are slowing dying. Mr. Edwards has not returned by attempts to contact him and rectify the situation. I paid an agreed upon price for good and services that included a warranty that was told to me by Mr. Edwards and at this time he will not honor his word.
