What recent reviews say

Top Choice delivers consistent, careful work across mowing, irrigation, and landscape restoration. Most crews show up on schedule and finish with pride. However, the booking and billing process can frustrate: customers report unclear pricing upfront, surprise charges after open-ended work sessions, and unwillingness to negotiate service commitments. Staff like Johnny, Ford, Lisa, and Jeremy are named praise-worthy, but the call center handling sales sometimes talks customers into inflexible contracts despite legitimate concerns. If you want reliable field work and don't mind negotiating payment details upfront, they're worth the call.

Recent shift: Most recent reviews (past month) remain strongly positive on service quality but include two older, detailed complaints about billing surprises and inflexible booking policies. No sign that these issues have been resolved.

Watch-outs

Best for: Homeowners wanting professional lawn care and yard restoration who can clarify scope and costs upfront.
Think twice if: Hesitant about bundling services, auto-pay surprises, or lack of specific appointment windows; they push multi-visit commits and billing can catch customers off guard.

Eclipse wins consistent praise for creative design, quality hardscaping, and attentive project management under Dylan and Shawn's supervision. However, a significant minority faced budget overruns, poor communication when costs ran high, incomplete cleanup, and unresolved warranty claims including unlicensed electrical work.

YardDoc

YardDoc earns trust through consistency: staff arrive on time, explain work clearly, and handle complex jobs with precision. Reviewers frequently name technicians like Chris, Christian, Jorge, and Adrian, praising their professionalism and care even during stressful situations like pest infestations or structural repairs. The office team (Ashleigh, Rachel Banker) manages scheduling smoothly and stays responsive. Work spans patio doors, wooden stairs, rodent problems, and routine yard care. Two recent one-star reviews cite communication lapses, a sharp contrast to the 97% five-star majority but worth noting if responsiveness matters to you.
