Turns out they installed my other chimney, a mixup on my part as I have two fireplaces. Bruce came out and inspected, rightly so, he was confused because the one they installed was in great shape! But he didn't stop there, even though they didn't install the wonky one, he made his way to the other side of the house, on a pretty darn hot day where roofs can amplify that heat and realized that was the cap I was calling about. But rather than dismissing it because they hadn't done the original install, he righted it and didn't see it as having any serious problems. He went far above and beyond.

I told them this, but when they came out, Bruce and Scott, they could easily have told me that my chimneys were a disaster but instead they said that they were great and didn't require any service. I appreciate that kind of honesty and ethical operations when I deal with a company. There was a small crack inside one fireplace that they filled quickly and inexpensively. They were both professional, personable and, most importantly, sweet to my dog! My furnace chimney will need some repointing in the Spring and I wil definitely call Emerald to have that work done.

There were a few areas where I didn't want plants disturbed and they totally honored that. The price was very fair and I'm so glad I hired them for my job. I now have a beautiful vegetable garden where raccoons once roamed and rolled my lawn searching for grubs. And, p.s. communication was excellent.

We hired Lee's General Landscaping to do a total yard cleanup + clear a bunch of plants and…read moreinvasive species from our perimeter, then add medium bark to suppress regrowth. Our assigned estimator Kimball came by for the initial walk through on July 3rd. We walked the property and I pointed out areas that we wanted cleared and bark added to suppress new growth. He left us with a video of him walking the property and shortly thereafter we had an estimate. My wife and I reviewed it, and wanted to see what it would cost to add landscaping fabric and rocks to some of the areas on the initial estimate. I responded to Kimball and he asked for a Google image of the home with the areas we wanted the work done marked. I then sent him the requested materials via a color coded aerial image. Kimball then asked to come out for a second look to make sure his measurements were correct. I was unable to accompany him for that walk, but he did do the checkup. We had a second open ended estimate shortly thereafter showing what the added rocks and fabric would run per square yard. We then decided on just doing bark (simplest install) - no landscaping fabric or rocks, but in all of the same areas marked on the aerial photo. To be doubly safe, I sent him a second aerial photo marking where we wanted the bark. Kimball's final estimate included a breakdown of what 4 yards, 6 yards, 8 yards or 10 yards bark would cost to procure and install. He told me that they would start at 6 yards with our property per his assessment, and if more were needed, they would request the additional amount day of the job. 7/25/26. The day of the job. Lee's arrived, I walked the grounds with the foreman and they got to work. Late in the day, I got a call from Kimball saying that the 6 cubic yards of bark he'd ordered wasn't enough to cover everything and that they needed another 2 cubic yards to the tune of several hundred dollars to complete all areas we wanted covered. I agreed to the up charge and Lee's crew completed the job. About 10 days went by, and our very nice looking yard started to sprout weeds all over the place. Naturally, I was expecting to see obvious weed growth here and there pop up, but this seemed like a lot. Regardless, I got to work pulling the weeds every 3-4 days or so, added some more bagged bark I purchased from Carpenitos here and there, and as I tackled each section of the yard on various days. Then, they exploded. By the 6th week, we were overrun and I couldn't keep up. I did some checking, and found that for successful weed suppression, you need at least 3-4 inches of bark coverage to prevent light from reaching the newly cleared topsoil. Lee's quote stated they they lay down "at least 2-3 inches" of bark - not the gold standard 3-4 inches, but fairly adequate. So, I got out there with a yardstick and started measuring. Low and behold, most of the front and back yard had as little as 1/2 an inch to 1.5 inches bark coverage. The areas I'd hit with bags as I weeded were barely pushing 2 inches, which means they too were initially VERY thin. I then photo'd the explosion of overgrowth and sent it to Lee's general email with a concerned message attached. Kimball replied to the message, but he refused to acknowledge any error had been made on his part or Lees in terms of the estimated coverage vs. completed work. Ultimately, he refused to remedy the situation without charging us thousands of dollars more. We went back and forth multiple times via email, and he would not budge - not even to cover labor only to rake back, and remove the overgrowth. He also refused to connect me to a senior manager or owner - eg: a 3rd party in the company whom could objectively review the situation, stating that he was a manager and partial owner and in charge of our estimate. We were charged over $3200.00 after tax for the job. It will likely cost us thousands of additional dollars to remedy the overgrowth resultant of Lee's error, and for which they refuse to acknowledge or accept responsibility. I'm personally kinda shocked considering their reputation and long standing place in the community. We used their services for lawn mowing and occasional yard work in Seattle many years ago without issue. My how times have changed.

Daniel is the owner of this business and a very knowledgeable, friendly guy. His company had done…read morework in my area and he stopped by my house to ask if I'd be interested in improving my 70 yr old paved driveway. I'd begun filling some cracks myself and after our conversation I was happy to allow him to take over and complete what I'd started. We agreed on the price and I asked him to write up an invoice stating the work that was going to take place. Basically remove the wrinkles, build up the low area where the main road and my driveway connect and apply sealant. I never received anything in writing. He started the job the following day (Monday) sometime after 11:00 am after I'd left for the day. When I arrived back home at 7pm there was a wheelbarrow left in my carport with the left over cold patch inside and a propane torch/tank in my parking place. I had no way to contact the business, so I parked my car in my yard thinking they'd be coming the next day to finish. (Tuesday) No such luck. Dennis stopped by that evening to say they'd be there the following day (Wednesday) and the reason they hadn't shown tuesday was due to the rain...which hit me as weird since I'd been outside doing yard work and hadn't gotten wet. I communicated that my clients would be arriving Thursday and I needed the job completed so they'd have room to park. He assured me it would be done before then. I reminded him that he had still yet to give me a way to communicate with him. He said we'll see you tomorrow to finish the job. I expected him to start early in the morning, and I left my home for errands at 11:00am. I returned home at five. There were barricades up so I couldn't drive on my driveway, but it was very difficult for me to get into my gravel portion of my driveway. Dennis' adult grandson stopped by about an hour later to see if I was satisfied with the job and if he could collect payment. I let his grandson know I was not satisfied, and I pointed out the areas that I was curious they didn't get filled. He gave me his grandfather's phone number and we talked on the phone. Dennis said he'd be out the next day. He arrived just before 2:00 and I walked him thru the areas of concern. He wanted to receive payment before he would be able to finish the job. During the initial consultation he was clear payment was due after completion. I refused to pay until he had satisfied the corrections. He mumbled something about my wanting a free job while walking away from me. Not believing what I'd just heard, I waited saying nothing. He got into vehicle and I turned and walked back in my house. A little over two weeks later the barricades that were left behind were gone - again while I wasn't home. Improvement needed: Better communication before starting a project. Provide itemized detail of what can be expected before starting the job. Coordinating with homeowner about their schedule, dates to start, time frame for the job to be completed, and how much time to wait before driving on the sealant. Giving out business cards so you can reach the business with any questions. Completing the job. Better quality asphalt for repairs instead of cold patch. The cold patch has yet to cure after nearly five weeks and is falling off the edge of carport spilling into my garden. Vegetation is growing up thru the sealant. I wanted to be able to rave about the job well done and promote them to others. I can't.
