I would not recommend this company. The crew arrived late, did not work efficiently, and left an hour early. There was also a lot of time spent walking around without actually working. My project specifically involved large weed removal, which was agreed upon in advance. However, partway through the job, I was told they couldn't complete that portion because there wasn't room in the trailer--despite there being available space in both the trailer and the back of the truck, especially if tarps had been used. Instead, the team shifted to removing small weeds (which I didn't need), stating they had to fill the 8 hours per Eric, the owner. Our contract clearly outlined 8 hours of labor, and the $250 trailer fee for removal was supposed to be separate from that work time. Despite this, the crew left early, saying they needed time to drop off the trailer. I reached out to Eric three times and requested that the team return to complete the job as agreed or to issue a partial refund. He has not responded. (Ironically, he was very responsive when securing the job--something echoed in other reviews.) read more

Agree on the scope of work and the price to complete the scope of work. If just buying hours of work, you will not have any control on the outcome. read more

there were two young men who were there for 3 hours. I feel the younger of the two worked hard and efficiently and he showed up early. the one in charge was late and came across like he didn't even want to be there...very sullen. i felt they could have accomplished a lot more than was accomplished. read more

The workers got everything accomplished, and were very easy to work with. They were professional and followed instructions very well.

This was a disappointing experience. I had gotten behind and thought I'd treat myself to some weeding help, very healthy quack and thistles. I actually chose this company, in part, due to their faith-based philosophy. I walked the entire garden with the solo worker, pointed out perennials, asked for 2 trumpet vine volunteers to be dug and to focus on quack and thistle. He indicated understanding. I then had to leave. I came home to a decimated garden. Multiple perennials (lupine, Pasque, asiatic lilies, day lilies, huge aster, etc. were gone. Quack was not pulled, just ripped off and, of course, is already growing back. The vines remained. Clearly this worker did not know plants. The most disappointing part was that my calls, texts and email have all gone unanswered by the company. Most of the plants are replaceable but not the 35 yo pasque flower from my Mom's nor the lupines grown from seed brought from Austria. Unless you're able to supervise like a hawk, find another company. My garden suffered for their work. read more

Beware of this company. I agree with the reviewer who thought it should be investigated. I learned the hard way that hiring them to do weeding and thinning was a mistake. Eric, the ringleader, sent more than a dozen texts to me explaining the price (which was exorbitant) and the way his crews worked. At one point I told him I'd like to meet him when the work started but this never happened. He sent two workers who looked to be college kids; both were inexperienced. We needed them to do extensive weeding, trimming and thinning out the landscaped areas that were overgrown due to all the rain. They did not have the tools needed for the job - no ladders, no electric trimmers, only gloves and pruning shears. My husband and I were disappointed in THEIRworkmanship. Of the two workers, one sincerely worked hard while the second took forever to fill a pail with weeds and spent time on his phone. We moved here a month ago and it was difficult to find any company that could work us in mid-season, so I went with this one. I was reluctant to do so as it sure seems scammy to offer a prospective customer $20 off if they read a certain Bible verse. In my opinion the Bible should not be used for discount purposes. read more

Two guys came out & helped us unload our U-Haul super last minute after our original "muscle" canceled on us. They were super kind, careful with our antiques, and efficient. Everything went great & the prices were fair. It was tricky getting down our split stairway but they managed with all our bulky furniture. I'm impressed & will definitely use them again when needed! read more

Very bad performance issues on a job which required experience in building a retaining wall. EP sent over workers that were unqualified for the work. Very little got done. He wanted $870.00 but I looked around to see that the work was faulty and asked to speak with EP. The workers stayed on the property wondering about for 1 1/2 hours stalking and harassing me. I get emails and threats from EP. I question their business ethics and quality of work. I hired another company to fix what they did cause they didn't want to. Now he wants to sue me for emotional damage. In the area of $2,000....The ceo EP exploits college kids by throwing them into assignments they are unsure of or unqualified for then demands payment for bad work, then threatens a law suit including emotional damage $2,000.00. This business is sketchy, no address and only takes cash or Venmo, hourly rates...nothing gets done right. Scam! read more

I have used this Christian based company one other time in the past. I do not feel they live up to their mission as outlined on their home page. "The mission of His Workmanship is to glorify God as we embody the gospel through our hard labor and our honest behavior..." Prices on the website state "starting at $100.00" for landscaping services for 2 landscapers and no hidden fees. What the website doesn't tell you until you book, is that you will be upcharged to $120/hour and gas/travel charges even though it is in their service area. You also do not find out that they will request a payment of 1 hour of labor ($120) or if you reschedule, they will request and ADDITIONAL one hour of labor to reserve the new date as "inconvenience fees" This info is only found as your are booking and happen to look at the questions or after you book. It is not on the FAQ before you start booking. I got harassed by phone call and text until agreeing to pay the venmo fee of $120 or they wouldn't cancel. I had to tell them i would call the police for trespassing if they came onto my property since I had canceled. You also do not know they have a minimum of 3 hrs. to book until you book, even if your work is not a 3 hr. job. I asked to be placed on his do not call list because i would no longer consider using their services in the future. Beware - very poor policies and business practices! read more

We had an unloading project that we scheduled last minute. The project took one hour. We paid $500 for the one hour project and I expected to have experienced movers that would treat our home and items with care. The guys that were sent out for the project were very nice and polite, but unfortunately did not treat our items with care. They were very inexperienced and did not seem to know what to do. They pushed leather sofas out of the truck letting the bottoms scrape along the truck bed. I suggested and provided some cardboard to try and protect the other sofa seeing how the first one was moved. They dragged the leather sofa along my wood floors, carpet, walls, and staircase. We were left with many wall scuffs and holes to patch as well as several chips and scuffs on my wood banisters and damage to my furniture. I would never use this company again!! I emailed Eric, the owner about what happened and also included pictures of the damage. Eric never responded. He got his money so I'm sure he was onto his next victim. read more

I hired them because it's faith based thinking I'll rather give my business to fellow brothers. big mistake, there was good communication before the work was done, i was out of town the day of the work so I didn't get to see the results. i paid remotely being very grateful for the work performed. when I got home I could not it believe it!! i paid 400 dollars for no weeds being pulled. literally there was a 12 inch scrape to my garden. my calls and messages were never returned. read more

I sent several emails and texts with no reply. If Eric had even answered me, I would not have posted this. I hired 4 men for 8 hours. The men were very respectful and hardworking. The morning went well. In the afternoon Stephen didn't seem to know what to do so I walked through with him a second time. He did not seem comfortable transplanting the peonies so I showed him areas they missed clearing out back; specifically the paths and a foot to either side and down by the fire pit. I am enclosing photos of what I found. I was taking care of a sick baby when they finished so my husband just paid them. I checked the next day and was shocked that what was supposed to be cleared was not and all my peonies and hydrangeas were completely mowed down. They were not even near the paths! read more

My wife and I hired Eric and his crew for a landscaping job earlier this spring. We were very disappointed with the results and want others to know about our bad experience so they don't make the same mistake we did. Eric put his inexperienced crew in a tough spot considering they didn't have the skillset needed or proper oversight to do a quality job, especially with laying paver edging. We were upset to find pavers laid upside down, the wrong direction, and very uneven. If that wasn't enough, one of our sprinkler lines was cut and he told us to buy a replacement part instead of offering to take care of the repair. What a joke, Making matters worse, Eric's standard of quality was very low as well and he said he thought the pavers were OK and wouldn't be perfect. He said he would come back to fix crooked pavers only if we paid for additional work to be done. What a joke. Upon asking for a partial refund, he said no and then refused to follow up. For anyone looking for a quality landscaping job, don't go with this company. You don't want to work with someone who won't stand guarantee to their work and has low quality standards. read more

His Workmanship - Twin Cities - Perfect example of why you shouldn't use this company. Look at the crooked edging. - Landscaping Near Me

I think these people need to be investigated for payment and fraud process. The job it self took place last year. I did not like several things with this company. I did not like that I was not told about a 3 hour minimum up front. Regardless we booked the minimum for mulch spreading and two young men could not get the work done with in 3 hours. Allot of looking at phones standing around after a trip and breaking several minutes in between. The job was not complete I was told if they wanted them to finish I would have to book another 3 hour minimum. My husband finished it by himself in an hour and he is quite a bit older. Then I was not told I had to do a cash app for payment. I asked to pay by check. They had to call the owner and ask if I could write a check. Then I was told not to write it out to the company or the owner but to rather write it out to one of the young men I thought weird. The check was wrote out and cashed posted on 6/8/2023. The check was just mobily deposited again on 2/20/2024. The bank is investigating but I would say beware of this company. 100% Scary read more

Overall happy with the work the crew did, but just not worth the hassle. I had just bought a house with a really overgrown side yard and wanted some help clearing out all of the weeds and overgrown plants. I didn't have a good sense of how long or how much work it would take, but Eric (the owner) recommended some services based on the photos I sent. Crew showed up right on time and got to work. They did a great job, and within just a few hours my yard was completely transformed. So happy with how it looks now even months later, and excited to start putting some work into it come springtime! My real problem with the services was with the cost. I had told Eric that I wasn't sure how much time to book for, so we booked for several more hours than it actually ended up taking the crew to finish the work in. The crew lead had me pay for the entire time booked, which contradicted what I thought the website said. Quotes from the website: "The hourly rate will begin once your crew arrives and starts working on your project. When your crew finishes to your satisfaction the clock will stop. Then the crew leader will come to your door and ask you to review their work. When you are pleased with the outcome, the crew leader will calculate the total hours and payment with you." This wasn't how it worked for me, and I paid a few hundred dollars more than I would have if I'd been advised to just book for a shorter timeframe. I tried emailing and calling Eric five times over the course of several weeks to ask about this to at least get some clarification on the pricing, but never received any response back. Pretty disappointed in this, particularly for a company that claims their mission "is to glorify God as we embody the gospel through our hard labor and our honest behavior." As of right now, I'll plan on going with another company for any future gardening work. The gardening they did was great, but not worth the hassle of trying to communicate with the crooked owner. read more

I would NOT recommend. I inquired about moving one item, a couch with Eric. I filled out the contact application and he gave me a quote. I then saw a groupon for the exact services we needed and we fit all requirements listed. There is actually a picture of exactly what we need done on the groupon site! When I asked Eric about the groupon advertised with his company he abruptly ended our conversation and emailed we do not qualify. I called to ask why...no answer, no response. read more

I paid for a Groupon yesterday that said 2guys for 2 hrs work. 35.00. Then filled out there form. Just wanted a very small area in my front yard to have some weeds pulled. After paying Groupon, Eric emailed me back and said it would cost 150 to 250 dollars to do the job. Couldn't believe it! Tried over and over for him to call me and explain. Finally after many attempts to get a hold of him he just simply emailed me saying he couldn't do the job. Would even call me to explain!! Would never EVER hire this so called Christian company!! Eric is a liar. False advertising!! The should be SHUT DOWN!! read more

PATRONIZE THIS COMPANY AT YOUR OWN RISK! We hired this company to weed, trim and clean up my Mother-in-Laws property. The workers that arrived did a great job (no complaints). We made a pre-payment the night before and added a dump fee of 150.00 to the estimate. They did not provide the dump service and then Eric (the owner) refused to refund the money. He stated that we did not discuss that service with him prior to adding the fee and his company policy was no refunds. I checked his website and his policy is no refunds for services rendered, they did not provide the service so the money should be refunded. PATRONIZE THIS COMPANY AT YOUR OWN RISK! read more

I contacted Eric to get help laying sod, planting new bushes, and spreading mulch. Seth and his helper came over and did a stellar job!!! They installed all the sod needed, planted over 40 bushes, PLUS spread mulch all over. I am contacting them again to help finish our yard up. I highly recommend them. read more

I have seen some very negative reviews here, but I am beyond pleased with the job done by Sam and his crew! I needed a huge weed pulling job done to clear my lakeshore. I contacted His Workmanship after a google search and Eric responded the next morning - and got me on the schedule the next day! The guys showed up on time and finished the job an hour earlier than scheduled! Payment was easy and, since I was still at work, Tyler sent me pictures of the completed project right away. Can't wait to get home to see it in person. I have already recommended them to two co-workers, and will continue to highly recommend Eric and his team. Perhaps if you have a very extensive landscaping project a more experienced team might be a better option, but for what I needed they were stellar! Well worth the investment! read more

We sought out help for loading a moving truck and found the ad on Craigslist. Eric was very quick about replying to my inquiry as well as communicating promptly with me in getting things setup. Brandon and Brett came to help us and I assure you, these men were courteous, efficient, hardworking and very easy to work with. I highly recommend using His Workmanship for any thing you may need assistance with! read more

We hired Eric's team to move this weekend. Eric replied to our initial inquiry promptly and provided us with a quote within an hour. They arrived early, and were so polite and helpful. We had a lot of books and heavy furniture and everything was removed from our old house and into our new house in five hours. Plus, the prices were great! Would definitely recommend! read more

I do not recommend. Find other movers. I contacted Eric to do a move for my dad. When we had to make simple changes to the work order, he insisted that they would have to do an additional work order thereby making us pay for 6 hours of work for a job that would take about 2 hours total. Their policies are not customer focused and he put up a huge fight over the whole thing which lead to me canceling our order. He refused to refund our down payment which he never told me was non-refundable and claims that ALL down payments are non-refundable by nature which is simply not true. It is the responsibility of the company to inform the client of down payment policies and he did not do that. Very unprofessional, non-customer focused policies. The fact that they have such terrible policies and customer service and claim to be a Christian company makes the whole thing worse. Use someone else for your moving needs. read more

Don't waste your money or your time. This company was paid to come and complete a job. We were told it was going to be around 237 in an email but didn't notice that was the price only for two people for three hours. They sent a 4 man crew like we asked but they got here late, didn't start at the scheduled time, and worked slow. They were inexperienced and had personal conversations the entire time. They wasted time and in the end did not finish the job. Than we were told that it was going to be almost 800 and I almost told my wife to not pay at all. Currently looking into that we can do about the money that we paid for a service that was not completed. I think that makes this a breach of contract but not totally sure- we are looking into it. Don't hire- they are a joke. read more

Hired them for a planting. I gave the young crew a document with planting instructions and discussed the process. After they were paid (they require cash), I noticed several plants were wilting and sticking up out of the ground. I dug one up to find it was sitting directly on top of a large rock. I dug the rock out and replanted the plant. I had to do this with 18 plants. I contacted Eric to try to resolve. No response after repeated attempts. Filed a report with the BBB and MN Attorney General. Their mission statement is religious oriented; intended to convey that they are honest and ethical, but my experience was neither. I wish I had seen these other reviews before I hired them. Be careful if you are considering doing work with them. Once you pay, there's no way to get your money back if there are issues. read more

I would not recommend! Not qualified and very unprofessional! I contacted Eric to get help with some yard work, assembling of some furniture and moving furniture for me. Everything was discussed and ready to go. When the workers arrived they started on the assembly and after an hour of trying to assemble unsuccessfully they moved on to the yard. They finished the yard in 1 1/2 hours. Then went back to the chairs, they continued to struggle. I checked on them and still they claimed they had it under control and could do it. Finally after 2 hours and not a single chair assembled I called Eric and told him about the situation. He then tells me AFTER they have been trying to assemble these chairs they don't assemble??? What? It was discussed in the email prior and then discussed with the workers the second they showed up! I spent the rest of the time on the phone with Eric discussing the problem. He should have told me in our email they don't assemble, the employee's should have told me when they showed up to work they don't assemble! That would have been fine I would have put them on another project. Instead my time and money was wasted! I did not like the way the situation was handled. It was all very unprofessional and I will NEVER use there services again. read more

The kids were nice but one is currently laying down doing the work. Not going to lie, I could pick weeds faster than the 3 guys working today. Sucks to pay $105/hr to a company that is working as slow as possible and even when talking to the manager, I don't even receive a response. So frustrating. Will not use again, will not tell anyone else about this company except not to use them. read more

I needed some landscaping rock to be removed. I requested a quote online and Eric responded within a few hours with an estimate. The work was scheduled for two days later. The workers were pleasant and efficient. They completed exactly what I needed in a very timely manner. Great communication throughout the entire process. Thank you! read more

SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! DO NOT HIRE. Very scary how evil people can be especially when they claim they are Christians. Disgrace to all Christians and business owners. No respect given and have no knowledge of doing landscape. What a shame. He harasses people into giving 5 stars on reviews in order to do the work they were paid to do. Don't do any business with these people. They are giving themselves fake 5 star reviews and are inexperienced young kids. Pray for Eric. He needs it. I feel bad for anyone who encountered this scam. I should have done my research. read more

Do not hesitate to hire this company. I am beyond pleased. The rates are very fair. The college students that performed the work were clean-cut, respectful, punctual and extremely hard-working. There was no "loafing" and they got right down to business and didn't stop until they were finished. I hired a crew of three young men that brought all of their own equipment and hauled away all of the yard waste. They did an amazing job cleaning up a season's worth of overgrown weeds and got the job done in less time than what I had estimated. The company charges for the actual work performed, meaning that if you think it's going to take four hours and it only takes 3 1/2 hours, you will be billed for 3 1/2 hours. I am thrilled to have found them. My yard looks fantastic. My next-door neighbor is so impressed that she is going to be hiring them in the future. Please consider hiring these young adults. You will not be disappointed. read more

Help - The website says they specialize in moving rock. Two college kids showed up with 1 shovel! How did they expect to move all of this rock to the back yard? Well, they are hourly. I gave them another shovel and two wheel barrows. 5 hours later and $500, they did about 1/2 the job I was quoted would take 4-5 hours. E-mailed the owner...no response of course. Do NOT use these people. You can find a better deal. Super Disappointed. As the owner quotes himself....."he is a sinner"!! Disappointed mom of young kids - $500 could have gone a long way in my household. We will be eating Mac & Cheese for a while and moving the rest of the rock ourselves! read more

DO NOT HIRE! I was very disappointed and quite upset about the work that was provided by this company. The crew that showed up was split and some workers came late. They did not start until all of the workers were there so they were about 30 minutes of standing around but I was still charged for the time. They were supposed to move a pile of rock that was already pulled from the garden beds into a dumpster with instructions to not overload it. They did not follow the instructions and spent a good deal of time having personal conversations and working very, very slowly. When it came time to pay they informed me that they would take cash only and we had to call the company to pay with a credit card. Also the "lead" of the crew told me that he was going but any tips would get to all of the crew members- so I didn't have to worry. Wasn't planning on tipping when I was charged close to $800.00 and THEY DID NOT EVEN FINISH THE JOB! DO NOT HIRE! I personally emailed Eric who informed me that the best they could do was refund me $10 and provided no apologies or solution to make the situation right. BAD management. BAD crews BAD work ethics BAD price for amount of work DO not hire. read more

We used His Workmanship to help us with a move after seeing a listing on Craigslist. Eric responded very quickly to my inquiry for assistance and it was on a very short notice because we didn't know the exact date our house would be ready. Brent and Matt were awesome. They showed up early ready to work and took the job seriously. They took great care with everything and kept moving the entire time. Our new home has fresh paint on the walls and they got several tough items up the stairs around a corner without a ding or scratch. They were polite and respectful and worked well together as a team. My husband and our friends who were helping were very impressed with them as well. They made the move go very smoothly. We couldn't have done it without their help as we were relying on them to do most of the heavy items. I hired them for 3 hours and was thinking I'd need to hire them for an extra hour but they got the job done in 3. In today's world, it is refreshing to see young godly men who know how to conduct themselves as good Christian witnesses. I really can't say enough good things about them and the whole experience. I would recommend them. read more

I recently used His Workmanship to remove rock from my back yard. Having to leave for work before the job was done, I did not see the end result. I return home to find the job unfinished. Furthermore, I let them use my wheel barrel to help them. They broke the wheel barrel and did not offer to repair/replace or discount their price. After bringing the issue to their leadership (Eric). He proceeded to offer me $10 dollars so I could fix the wheel barrel myself. When I asked if they would be willing to come and fix the wheel barrel, he said his company would not do that. read more

We have nothing but good things to say. His Workmanship had crews out for two days straight and stayed until the job was done. Mulch and sod done on time, Even in the rain. Good work and even better people. Big thanks to Connor in MN, hard worker both days! read more

I used "His Workmanship" today for two decent sized landscaping jobs. Their communication efforts were above average from the start. Today the workers arrived five minutes early, took a tour of what needed to be completed and then followed through with the plan. They cleaned out a large culvert drain and then trimmed, weeded, and neatened a huge flower bed that was overgrown. I was called when the work was completed (on time) for my inspection. I would love to use them again in the future. -Satisfied in Missouri read more

These guys were so great! You can't beat the price either! They were on time, and worked the full three hours straight, finished all the jobs we asked them to do, and on top of all of it, they were so polite and so nice! I would absolutely use them again and will definitely be recommending them to anyone who will listen! read more

Eric was great to work with. He quoted me over the phone after seeing pictures of the job and he was available just 2 days later. I had them remove all of the rock from my gardens. He and his crew were on time and completed the job on time. The work was exceptional and his team was very polite and professional. I would definitely do business with them again. read more

We hired His Workmanship to help with our large move, and had a fantastic experience! Very thorough and accommodating, and the guys were very respectful of our items and our family. We love that this company is faith-based, and their work reflects that. We will definitely be using them again for future moves! read more

Eric and his team are fantastic! They were prompt, worked fast and did everything I asked them to do. They did an amazing job. I will definitely be using them again in the future. read more
