H.O.W. Foundation

[HoneySuckle]

Has anyone been brave enough to use H.O.W Foundation for yard work?

I've been reading some good reviews online and never thought to call them.

Then I did, and heard what the program was about and of course, I kinda got a little been scared. 

But then again, if they send 4 guys out to do yard work, that's a whole lotta work that could be done way faster than we could!

They do excelent work.....

we haven't used them for yard work, but did use them to move a piano about a year ago.  the guys that moved it were very professional.  we had some neighbors that used them all the time for tree-trimming and seemed to like their work (since they hired them a lot).

These guys work 7 days a week 10 hours a day......

Then I think they deserve to keep getting work!

Thanks.  Will hire them to do even more stuff than I had planned.  Read up about H.O.W Foundation as well.

The HOW Foundation is the real deal. 

They are reliable and do a good job.

Have a couple of family members that have been using them for years.  Both very pleased.  (Classic "Don't judge a book by the cover.")

I used them after the Great Ice Storm to remove a couple of large trees.  They showed up on time and got the job done without any drama.

After all the glowing reports here and on Angie's list, I decided to book them for two days and will tackle doing my own landscape with their "muscles." 

It should look a heck of a lot better than if we did it ourselves, and since I know who to order the soil from, river rocks, and I can go around town and get expert advice on plants, why pay a landscape company?

I decided to have them do some landscaping here also. Where is a good place to purchase the heavy duty metal edging that the landscapers use? The stuff at Lowe's and HD is a lot thinner.

When are you having yours done?

I'd be interested in what you find out regarding the edging whether it's the metal stuff or the plastic that Breadburner mentioned.

HOW Foundation was booked solid for a month, and ours is scheduled for May 16. The man I talked to told me they work 7 days a week. I decided even if I decided to do the stuff myself, it would probably be that long, the way things go around here.

I'll have to check into the plastic edging. I was leaning toward the metal, but I may be convinced to change my mind. I know the metal is harder to install, as it does not bend easily, at least the heavy duty type the landscapers use. Since they are not coming for a month, I have time to check it out.

Plastic only lasts a couple of years (3 to 4 max).  Metal will rust, but last for decades.
Always a trade off.
