Ed and his team are professional, experienced, proactive, courteous, and they obviously love what they do. Ed is full of tips and tricks and is a great resource for landscaping/gardening info. He's also a great source of low/fair pricing on everything from trees to mulch. As a retired architect who has worked with many types of contractors I have to say how much I love that they clean up after themselves (hosing down walkways, etc.) everyday before they leave. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

Ed quickly assessed and corrected my sprinkler problems. Charges were reasonable. He also made various suggestions on routine maintenance that needs to be accomplished now. He also recommended pruning in November--All very helpful.

Ed Gardening Services, AKA The Sodfather, Inc submitted bills that I paid ($37,000) and then later discovered that the billed include materials that were not used on my project. He admitted this to me. I then requested invoices on all the materials he charged me for and he has failed to provide them. I suspect many charges are fraudulent. He left with no warning in the middle of my project to work elsewhere. He left my front yard a mess including his workers meal trash. He's been gone over a month. What to do now. The city is after me to complete the project and has threatened to fine me.

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
