Very disappointed in the service I received. They helped remove my old patio and landscaping and…read morelay new sod. They missed an old fence post buried in concrete during the removal of the old landscaping. Instead of removing it later when they laid the new sod, they just laid the sod around it as if I wanted to keep an old fence post in my yard. They took so long to come lay the sod that they were not able to complete the job before the cold weather hit last year so they had to return to finish the job this spring. They did not tell me when they were coming to do the sod work either time. They did not tell me how I was supposed to take care of the new sod. I can see the seams where the sod is laid which looks terrible. They pulled out an old basketball post for me and said they would return to fill in the hole and lay sod over that as well but did not finish that part of the job either. They basically did not seem to care how good of a job they were doing. I will never use their services again and would not recommended them to anyone.

I cannot say enough great things about Scott and his team. Scott, himself, is extremely…read morepersonable, kind, and 100% invested in doing the best job possible. We first contacted Scott because we needed a decorative garden retaining wall that we had started to be finished (we had to make a list-minute move and were mid-remodel on our home). My husband is an absolute perfectionist--he has constructed a number of these decorative retaining walls professionally over the years--so our standards were very high. Scott and his team exceeded our expectations. Not only did they install the wall perfectly, Scott even made some suggestions that ended up making the wall look even nicer than our original plan. Scott and his team took the time (and let me tell you, it took A LOT of time) to clear all of the weeds, overgrown bushes, etc. out of our existing garden beds to make way for new plants and they also took care to protect our prized Japanese Maple during the process. While digging the base for our wall, Scott and his team uncovered a number of bricks from an old garden wall that had been buried over the years. Instead of just disposing of them, Scott had the wonderful idea of repurposing the bricks to create a lovely brick walkway off of our back patio into our backyard as well as a little brick pad to place a bucket or hose on underneath our front spigot. I was absolutely thrilled that he thought to do this. I think it's also important to note that Scott did all of this work within our set budget. Scott found ways to do the most with the money we had allotted and gave us the biggest bang and best quality for our buck...actually I'd say Scott's quality of work would not waiver no matter what budget you presented him with. His name is on this business and he takes that very seriously. Since Scott and his team finished up our garden wall, we have also hired them for general yard work like lawn mowing, weeding, aerating, seeding, and leaf-raking. We'll also be working with Scott in the spring to add plants to our garden beds. Our neighbors across the street were so impressed with his work, that they've hired him as well. I hope that other neighbors follow suit. In summary, Scott is a stand-up guy with a hardworking team who is willing to work within your budget to give you the most for your money with the absolute best quality. I will continue to recommend him to any and everyone.

The other companies we asked for quotes didn't even mention it could be saved-along with the money we saved from trimming instead of cutting it down/grinding the stump. 4 seasons did so well I asked if they could help a sad river birch I planted in back, suffering from yellowing/small leaves and dying limbs. ( because our soil is too alkaline for the tree). I'd hired two other companies in years past claiming they could help, but their treatments had less effect than me standing on my garage roof spraying chelated iron on the leaves. And they charged 10-20x the price of the $12.99 bottle of iron! The tree outgrew my garage roof. Four Seasons' treatment made remarkable growth on the tree in just over a month. I'm stunned in a good way. Good work, saved me money (they could have earned), and their work was better than previous companies at a good price. Def recommend!

We needed to get rid of a large, mature Bradford Pear tree in our front yard. Brent, the owner of…read moreEmbark Tree Removal, got back to us right away after we contacted them through their online message form. He came over in-person and gave us, by far, the most reasonable quote of five from the various companies who came and gave us estimates. While examining our trees, it was obvious that he was knowledgeable about his job. He was friendly and did not rush the estimate, taking time to find out what we needed, answer our questions, offer advice, and create a plan for the scope of the work. On the day of the removal, Brent and his team of nine guys - with a bucket truck, chipper, skid loader, and chainsaws descended upon the job and got right to it. It was immediately apparent they were professionals and impressive to watch how they all worked together like the proverbial well-oiled machine. They worked quickly, in a highly organized and efficient manner. Even if I didn't need a tree removed, I think I would pay money just to watch them in action- it was amazing! They had the tree felled, cut up, chipped, and all cleaned up in a little over an hour. They asked if we wanted firewood from it, cut up a nice selection, and neatly stacked it on the driveway for us. We also had them trim a maple tree in the back yard and we were very pleased with how it came out. Communication from start to finish was timely and professional. We were surprised and extremely grateful that Brent went out of his way to get us worked in as quickly as possible, as we had time constraints and needed the job done asap. We also needed the stump ground and it was done the next day. We could not be more pleased with the job Embark did for us and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone for tree removal, stump grinding, and pruning.
