EXCELLENCE and professionalism is hard to come by in customer service and Frank and his crew delivered just that for sure. I called Frank on Tuesday 8/6 and he actually answered the phone! How about that!! He came out the very next day and we did the walk around of my just shy of an acre property for the quote. We scheduled for a 2-day clean up and they arrived at 8am on Saturday 8/10 to do a full service job on my property that was overgrown to the point that it almost looked like nobody lived there. This 4-man crew worked 8 hours and 45 minutes and I mean they WORKED with just a couple of breaks! Cut the front, side, and back yard which were as much as 24-36 inches high with weeds in some places. Trimmed down my severely overgrown monkey grass around the property and removed the infiltrating weeds from them. Trimmed and sculpted ALL of my azaleas and hedge bushes leaving them looking so smooth, truly professional work. They trimmed small and taller Holly trees/bushes that surround the front and back of the house, removed suckers from the trunks and they left them looking nice and neat. As I requested, they hand pulled (at the root) really tall flowering weeds that peppered the property, some were tall as medium sized corn stalks. They also removed weeds and crab grass that was growing out of the cracks in the walkways and driveway. They removed all of the ivy that was growing under a center island of azalea bushes in the front yard, trimmed back the ivy along the border of the property and trimmed back privet and over hanging tree branches so I can now see the tree trunks. They uncovered a huge tree stump that I didn’t even know was there at the top of the front of the property from a tree that was cut down before I bought the property. They even cleaned up the weeds just below the edge of the property in the back where a creek divides my property from the homes on the street behind me. It was 77 degrees when they started and 94 degrees by the time they finished up, and on top of that there was an air quality warning for the afternoon hours. They pushed through and got it done in 1 day instead of the planned 2-day project. They hauled away 2 trailers full of yard debris. I am amazed and extremely pleased with the outcome. You definitely want these guys to work on your yard clean-up projects because they know what they are doing. They have the right tools and expertise in knowing how to use them for the different kinds of jobs involved in doing this work. Frank is a very friendly and likeable guy. He listens to you and he communicates effectively and timely. He instructs his crew; they follow through, and even go above and beyond to make sure things are taken care of to improve aesthetics. I am totally satisfied and I know you will be too!
Frank and his team are magic! The backyard was beyond overgrown with kudzu and poison ivy. Frank and his team came out next day and cleared the yard in less than 6 hours! They even trimmed and cleaned up the front yard just because they are professionals (without asking). I’d recommend overgrown backyards to anyone with a serious problem to handle with care and consideration. Thanks Frank!
Hardworking and efficient! I called Frank on a Saturday to provide a quote for cleaning out ivy, weedy trees and bamboo in my large/overgrown backyard. He came over within the hour to provide a quote, then was able to get his crew over the very next day. They did a great job, so now I have a blank slate to get creative with!
Overgrown Backyards has done a wonderful job containing the kudzu in my yard. Frank was reliable and paid attention to detail. His workers were very neat and careful with my property. Frank followed through and checked to make sure everything looked clean and neat. He and his team are conscientious and caring! I am not a person to write reviews but this business deserves recognition.
Frank was very easy and professional to work with. He showed up on time for the quote, and showed up on time the day they came out to actually do the work. They were fast and cleaned up the work area, even raked up all of the weeds they cut down. The quoted price was accurate and there were no surprise charges, and he even double checked about one tree to make sure they were about to remove the correct one. I would easily recommend this company to anyone looking, and will definitely be hiring them again.
Frank and his team were fantastic. Our yard was overgrown with vines, bramble, brushes, and weeds, and they cleared it all out with great quality work. We were on the fence about doing the work ourselves vs. hiring the team, hindsight 100% absolutely glad we went with these guys. Highly recommend!
The business won't hook you with a catchy name, but you know what services you're requesting. My wife and I asked Frank and his team for a quote. We caught each other on vacation while trying to schedule, and I was impressed at how quickly he returned our inquiry upon his stated return. He offered a quick turnaround from quote to executing the work. The team he worked with in our front and back yards was friendly and helpful in my limited interaction. The result of their work was better than we could've expected and were capable of verbalizing. We had a lot of ivy growing on trees, ground, and through our fence as well as significant overgrowth in our backyard. Anyone who has seen the "before" and "after" has been blown away, and we are incredibly grateful for the quality of service. My wife and I have been so inspired for new projects and landscaping ideas now.
Frank’s team is the most amazing team you will find when it comes to a yard makeover. Our yard was overgrown and had so many weeds that grew to the size of trees. I found out we have a side fence gate because of Frank and his team. Thank you guys so much. You guys are the best and I 100% recommend anyone use y’all. I attached the before and after but actually the before was taken like 6 months ago so it was 10 times worse than this.
Frank and his crew did an awesome job of removing the kudzu vines that had practically taken over my yard. Very pleased with the results!
Frank and his team came out and did a fantastic job removing the kudzu and privet invasion in our backyard.
Frank and team are the best of the best. Thanks guys!
I asked to have everything in my backyard removed and Frank delivered! Even cleaned my gutters, trimmed a tree in my front yard, and mowed it. Happy customer!
They are great at their job. We will definitely use them next year again.
Excellent work! Frank s team went beyond our expectations again.
Once again Frank and his team outdid themselves. Frank and I agreed on the work, the price and just like that it was done. Highly recommend this business, they deliver.
Never Showed Up. Im only rating on communication, promptness and professionalism. I dont know anything else about the company.
These guys are amazing. They went way above and beyond what was expected, they were professional and quick, and there is nothing I would change. Definitely would use them again and highly recommend
Franks team worked like demons the whole day -- even during the rain -- to make sure they got the job done. They went the extra mile to blow out fallen leaves even from areas where they hadnt been asked to work.
This is a REAL five star contractor! We are so impressed by the comprehensive effort and care exhibited by Frank and his crew. They are well trained and equipped and clearly have the desire to achieve excellent results. We highly recommend them for your yard cleanup project.
I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to Frank and his team. Not only did they take care of everything overgrown and out of control. They were able to do an entire landscape and trimming of my yard. Front to back. They also trimmed trees that I had hanging over the side of my home. You guys did an outstanding job and I will definitely be keeping you as my go to for lawn care.
Frank was friendly and professional, and completed my project quickly and for a good price. I highly recommend his company.
I have kudzu out of control in a section of the backyard and a few days ago Frank and his team came and did a wonderful job in clearing out and removal of what I was able to have done thus far. I am hoping to be able to have them remove the rest of it as soon as possible. I am very glad I picked this company as everyone was professional, neat and worked quickly. I am definitely referring them for any yard work/Renee
Frank and his team were able to remove two trees and several years accumulation of brush and branches from our wooded lot quickly and affordably. They were on time, professional and did a great job
I cant say enough about how happy I am with Frank and his team for giving me back my backyard. My backyard was a total disaster of years of pile up of leaves, pinestraw, and the dreaded kudzu/ ivy. Frank and his crew came in and took it all away in one day. They were polite, professional and very respectful. Frank thank you again for the amazing job done by you and your team.
Frank and his crew did a great job removing a very overgrown neglected ivy bed in our front yard. Showed up early and worked in the extreme heat. Would not hesitate to use them again.
Frank and his team did an awesome job and were very extremely responsive. Frank came and had a look at my yard and I was given a quote on the spot. I also had the option of the work being done the next day which was a great benefit. My yard is now looking great and ready for new projects
Disclaimer: I usually let these type of things go and never call companies like this again. However after reading his reviews (Frank) I decided this would be my first review. It seems to in read the past reviews this is not new behavior and it seems to be with certain ZIP Codes. I was impressed by Photos and Videos. It gave me the impression that this was possibly the right company. But i ll never know because they couldn t keep their first commitment. Was supposed to come out on September 20th or 21st 2022. Poor communication Made a promise and broke it No call no show
Frank and his team were amazing. We set an appointment on Friday for a consult and the very next day they got to work. The crew showed up on time and pulled and cut all the overgrown ivy in my yard. He was even willing to go back after the completion of the job to touch up some areas I added after the fact.
Their name grabbed my attention. Their work exceeded my expectations. But it was their quality, attention to detail and responsiveness to what I wanted during the job that will keep me a customer forever! Frank and his team went above and beyond on my way overgrown lot. Ive reclaimed the jungle that is once again my backyard. Cant endorse them highly enough!
Frank s team have an excellent work ethic. They cleared years of english ivy and clear cut all the brush in about 4 hours. The area is about a 1/8 acre. Positive
I attempted to contact this company by calling their listed number and leaving a voicemail. I called on a Tuesday a.m. and Friday a.m. and have not received a call back. If they are this difficult to get a response just to get a estimate,,,What kind of other difficulties will arise just trying to get a job completed
contacted Overgrown Backyard on Friday.9/17,I was trying to support a local Chamblee business. The man I spoke with said he could come on Saturday 9/18 between !0:00 and !:00. We waited instead of doing errands only to be stood up. Not sure what went wrong other than he just decided he wasnt interested. Oh well
Frank came out to give me an estimate. It was a little steep for me right now. But, I really want my backyard cleaned out from encroaching Kudzu, sticker weeds, vines, etc. My nextdoor neighbors and the management company have let their outdoor pruning go to hell. I guess I could call Zoning or another office to get the management company to act responsible for cleaning off their chain link fence. As soon as I can afford Overgrown Backyard. And continue to try and reach Frank. He is really busy, but he does get back to you.
I cannot say enough about Frank and his team. Our backyard had so much overgrowth after the removal of a few large trees. We honestly thought there was no hope. Frank and his team really helped to cleanup our yard and restore it to a workable condition. Words cannot express how excited we are now to open our window blinds and actually see the true depth of our backyard and not be ashamed to have some backyard gatherings with family and friends. Frank and his team were prompt, very professional, and had a great eye for detail to provide us with the best cleanup.
Too expensive
I have a large yard that got away from me.I called Frank Thurston, owner of Overgrown Backyards. He and his crew spent 2 days working on it and it is now fantastic. I recommend this company 100%. My only regret is I didnt call him a year ago. If you need yard cleanup these are the folks to call.
Our Service with Frank was FANTASTIC! He was a consummate professional. His responses were timely, he understood the job, and reinvigorated our lawn, all at a decent price. He even offered to come back after the rain washed off some of the lawn treatment he put down. He has a great customer friendly attitude, easily willing to meet customers needs. He was a pleasure to work with, I will definitely be calling him for future jobs, and I strongly recommend you do too! Thanks Frank.
Frank and his crew came over and totally revamped my overgrown kudzu backyard. I purchased my home 2 weeks ago, but had no idea that beyond my shed there was an underworld that existed. Frank, Francisco & Dennis totally demolished the demon kudzu and restored order to my backyard that looks 4x s bigger than I originally thought. Thank You guys very much.
They did a fantastic job removing the ivy and trees in our back yard. Went above and beyond and left our yard looking perfect. Very fair priced for the quality of work!
Frank did an awesome job for an excellent rate. He went above and beyond. Not only did he do the area as quoted, he threw in an area, I could not afford at this time. It was a safety issue due to neglected overgrown weeds on my neighbors property. (I live in a town home) he cut it down for me at no extra charge. I wish I had more to give him. Frank is good people I will use his service again. I hope you do as well!
Frank and his crew showed up on time and finished the job early plus did some extra work. As someone else said, had I known about this company sooner, I would have had this work done last year! Definitely will recommend his services.
Frank and his team did an amazing job on a yard that was way overgrown. There is no way I could have handled this without him and his team. They were extremely professional and made a plan with us to make sure we were going to get what we were looking for. If you have any kind of yard services done call them and you wont be disappointed.
Frank Thurston and his crew completely transformed our severely neglected front and back yard. It was a massive job, as the vines and bushes had literally taken over. He did all the hard work of removing poison ivy, cutting limbs, digging out bushes, pushing back ivy etc. He was prompt and polite and professional. I would highly recommend him.
Frank and his crew was able to find a portion of my back yard that had been lost for longer than I ve owned the property. I was amazed at what they recovered. His guys are a hard working crew. Call Frank and he ll find your lost back yard. Thanks Frank!!!
I called after 5pm all set to leave a message and guess what? he answered. Then, the next day he showed up like said he would, when he said he would! Frank is great! Hes honest and reasonable and when Im ready to get the work done, Im contacting him. If you have a huge amount of yard work and need help call Frank!
I recommend this company very highly. Very reliable and thorough, with total removal of debris.
Very fast service, but also very clean! I love the transformation of my backyard! Excellent job guys well done!
Having a large yard and a broken mower Overgrown Backyards helped wonderfully clean up our yard with a quick response ! Highly recommended !
