I had a bad experience with River City, I called Affordable septic about my issue with my septic…read moresystem and the lady that answered the phone stated that maybe all i needed was a pump out as it wasn't pumped out in almost 20 years, River City came out the next day. I told the driver I called Affordable and the driver said they were a sub. I told the driver the lady from affordable told me all it may need was to be pumped and the driver told me she didn't know what she was talking about she just answers the phone. The driver looked at the system then suggest that the drain lines be cleaned and made a call then said they could be out the next day, So my septic didn't get pumped that day. The next day the driver came back with another crew ( I(was paying $200.00 an hour for their services). The driver then pumped the tank and while pumping they checked for location of distribution box. The diver said the distribution box was 4 feet deep and they could only dig 3 feet deep. so the excavation crew would need to do the work. I looked at the drainpipe and it wasn't quite 3 feet deep, and I couldn't figure how he got 4 feet. In any case the tank was pumped. The driver then sat in my drive way blocking the other crew for over a half hour so they couldn't leave (running up my bill ) I went out to the truck and asked him why he was sitting there he said he was doing paper work. They finally left and then I see the other crew parked on the out side road. I could have been pumped out a day earlier and I was scammed to have this crew come out. I was then sent an estimate for a $4,000.00 to do additional work. I did not call River City for service, nor will I call them in the future.

I'll say I didn't realize how good the yard could look until after they did the cleanup. Was thoroughly impressed with the work and results. I would say if you're getting estimates for yard work, definitely include JA Bravo Landscaping in your short list.

Express Landscaping started off fine. They did an good initial yard cleanup, then took on…read moremaintenance on a bi-weekly schedule. The first year, they mowed, picked up (and removed) fallen limbs, edged and weed whacked where needed. Leaves were removed in the fall and I kept them on. The second year something happened. Gates were left open (allowing pets to escape), balls/pet toys on the lawn were just mowed over instead of moved aside, leaves were not removed until asked and branches were left until asked, as well. The third year, they ran over the lawn with a truck, leaving gouges that were not repaired until I mentioned it, branches were just tossed to the fence line, not even moved to a place for removal, leaves that I had (finally) moved to a central location for removal were there 5 months later. After four episodes of leaving gates open, lack of picking up leaves and branches, the final straw was them hitting our retaining wall with their mower and moving 250 lbs of concrete blocks, along with the material behind it 6 inches. They never advised me of the damage and did not repair it. (I did). The visit after I repaired it... they hit it again. If you are looking for a "Mow and Go" service, Express Landscaping may be the one you need... if you don't have pets, don't mind gates being left open and don't mind unreported damage. If they had owned up to the damage, I would probably still be limping along with them. I would recommend for a one-time cleanup or special project, but as I am now finding, others do better work for less.
