His WorkmanshipReviews of hisworkmanshiplabor.com

I hired His Workmanship to weed a 40-ft bed, dig up a dead shrub, and dig up another bed. It was a big job and I hired two guys for 6 hours apiece. After the job was done, I sent Eric an email: "Hi Eric - We have a bit of a problem. They guys were really nice and worked very hard and I tipped them each $20. However, when the trash crews arrived, they wouldn't take most of the bags, because they weighed more than 50 pounds. When I examined the contents of the bag, it turns out that there was more dirt than weeds.I couldn't even lift them. How can we solve this? I am planning to cover the bags with a tarp today, because we're expecting rain so that a bad situation won't get words. Please advise..." The reply: "The workers are unable to return unless you can come up with another 3 hours worth of work for 2 guys. Then during that paid shift, they can lower the weight of the bags by evenly distributing the weeds/dirt. For the record, Will and Marco would not have filled them so full and heavy had they known the city weight limits of Troy. Did you tell the workers not to fill them over a certain weight?" My reply: "Hey Eric - Happy Mother's Day. Hope you're enjoying a lovely day with your wife and mother. Me? At 69 years old, turning 70 in August, I've spent the last 4 days trying to salvage some of my top soil, and when that proved to be impossible, my 4ft-9" daughter spent our day yesterday working together to drag fifteen 100+ pounds bags of soil (which we could not even lift together) to the nearby island to compost, losing all of our rich top soil. So here's how we did it: We wedged a dolly under the edge of a bag. We both had to grab it at the same time to maneuver it on the edge of the dolly. It took us both to tilt the dolly, it took us both to pull the dolly, it took us both to dump the dolly and peel off the lawn bags. We're spending Mother's Day together nursing sore limbs and backs, thanks to you. "His Workmanship"? Hardly. Quite the opposite as it turns out. You not only owe me an apology, but a refund. It is NOT my job to ensure your workers do the job correctly, it is YOURS. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I bought the team to my home and they transformed the landscaping. I have some splitting and shrub removal to get done and they did it all. They worked steadily and were expert at their jobs.

Trent and Greg arrived on time and immediately went to work. They worked very diligently and their work was SUPERB !!! They worked hard during the 3 hours, one rain even, and the islands in the front and back look soooooo magnificent now. It was quite satisfying knowing that I got a job well done with no wasted time. Thank you Eric, Trent and Greg….the grounds look WONDERFUL now. This is money well spent.

I would give a 0 rating if this was an option. Save yourself some time and money and find a trustworthy company to work on your job. In summary, I paid for bushes to be trimmed in my yard. The workers did not complete the job as I explained. I contacted Eric and asked that the workers come back to complete the job. Eric's immediate response was that it was my fault for not being home and he is not sending the workers back. I reminded Eric that I emailed him well ahead of time informing him I would not be home for the full duration of the job and asked to be rescheduled and his reply was "we don't need you onsite the whole timeframe. If you could get the crew started at 3pm on May 3rd, that would be great." I asked him why he told me I didn't need to be home if he was going to have a problem with this, but I received no response. Eric also accused me of wanting the workers to come back and work for free. I reminded him that I paid him upfront for the work, however they did not complete the job. Again, there was no response. I now have oddly shaped bushes and will have to find someone else to complete the work. Eric does not have a phone number on his website. He only communicates by email. I asked to talk to him rather than back and forth email and he refused. Be wary of what Eric tells you. He is not professional and his first response is to blame the customer when there are issues. I DO NOT recommend doing business with this company.

I was informed of what to expect every step of the way which was greatly appreciated. The guys were hard-working and very cordial. The job I started them on was enormous and they were almost able to finish it off. I wish I had taken before and after pictures.

I had multiple plants (mainly decorative grasses) I wanted dug up as well as about five large saplings, up to 12 feet tall. I did not expect everything to get done as it was a huge project and the ground was relatively hard. I was amazed at how hard the two young men worked without ceasing during their three hours at my home. They not only accomplished what I hoped might be done but way more. They cleaned up parts of the yard I didn't even ask them to do. They were very personable and professional, always asking if they missed anything or if there was something else they could do. I will hire His Workmanship again whenever I need fall clean-up (as I did two years ago) or tougher jobs like this year.

Booking was easy, the guys showed up on time and Trent and Caleb worked hard for 3 hours. Overall, great way to contract out some yard work!

Contracted for an explicitly stated amount of hours. Worker then took breaks that counted as part of the worked hours. Eric refused to discuss the issue. Also refused to honor the promised and earned discount. He then raised the rates for any future work and insulted my wife, who had contracted for the help. The worker was great. The management is sketchy and scammy. All transactions had to be in cash. Strongly not recommended.
