Home Services reviews in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Completely re-sodded my backyard, and updated my front yard landscaping. Professional, great communication, and updates throughout the process. Referred to numerous friends and neighbors - all have had great experiences as well.

I have been very pleased with their snow removal service. They are quick and efficient with their tractors. The have also been flexible. i recommend them.

Terrible snow removal service. Do not use under any circumstances. They don’t come until hours or days after the snow falls, then they also destroyed my yard in the process. Between the bad service and free advertisement they make you put up, this is by far the worst company I’ve ever worked with.

This company is second to none!! Even though my snow plowing contract ended May 31st, they sent a text saying because of the magnitude of the expected storm they will be clearing for us on April 3rd. Who goes above and beyond like that these days???? Shwaders does, that's who!!
Thank you Shwaders team!

Very unprofessional communication skills and they do not take accountability for mistakes. I am disappointed with the service and will never use them again.

Absolutely terrible business. This company has a HUGE contract with my HOA and their snow plowing is an absolute joke. They have never not once this year plowed any driveway or visitor parking area. Im making it my personal priority to see that this company is fired. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!

Schwaders plowed our townhome association lot during the huge April snowstorm. I was shoveling my car out until 8 the night before and didn’t have any damage on my car. My car was sitting in our assigned parking spot. They plowed that night and when I went out the next morning at 8AM my car had a huge dent in the shape of a plow blade, broken bumper and tail light. The pieces were all on the ground, and the car repair man said it was definitely a plow that hit my car. The driver denied it even though neighbors saw him speeding up and down the parking lot recklessly. The company is not accepting responsibility, and my husband and I are extremely disappointed as we have to pay for it although we had nothing to do with the damage. The cost of the damage is over $1800, and I have to get a rental car for a week. It’s just not right! I would not hire them.

This service is terrible… they do not show up until late in the afternoon and they do a poor job. I usually have to clear my own driveway even though I pay for the service. Such poor service repeatedly. See many other bad reviews on yelp it’s the same story. My wife found them. We will cancel the service for sure. Poor excuse for a snow removal service.

So glad Schwaders does my snow removal. They are the champs! I thoroughly researched companies before hiring them several years ago. I love that they not only do the driveway but also take care of the snow mountain at the bottom of the driveway left by city snow plowers.

Keep up the great work and your incredible service!

Deserved a negative rating. Hired them because I’m a 71 year old man with a heart condition. During the recent( 16+” ) worst snow storm of the 21st century, they didn’t show up at all. They don’t reply to emails. Firing them doesn’t work because you have to prepay for the entire season, and they don’t refund for canceled service. Great business model if you can sustain it.

First snowfall this year: did not arrive until noon. Left big piles of snow in the street after they finished. I don't even use this company. Two of my neighbors have hired them. One neighbor who's a bit older had to shovel out the end of her driveway herself because they hadn't arrived in time for her to go anywhere.

I have a 1.5 car driveway and they always do a terrible job. They came from the snowfall yesterday and they didn’t plow half of the space . Keep in mind there was plenty of space . My neighbors house was plowed fine but mine has plenty of snow and slush. The reason we pay for this service is so that we don’t have to shovel my driveway and I am still having to shovel. So far no good

I LOVE Shwaders. I use them for fertilizing and tractor snow removal! Always does a great job. I just called and left a message about a lawn issue and Derrick called me back and was so knowledgeable and helped me. I felt very confident in our conversation and his opinion. I highly recommend them.

Schwader's offers good service for a comparatively great price. While at one point I had a disagreement with their office about a billing practice, that was ultimately resolved with a personal call from the owner, Wade. He was prompt and professional, so if you have an issue, my suggestion is to call and ask to speak with their leadership.

They are as they advertise. They show up when it snows at least a certain amount and will come back to clean things up if something is missed.

This company is still in business? Not sure why. We have about 20 homes in our association and we are lucky if they get to us until 12-14 hours have passed on snowfall. One of the worst companies I’ve ever felt with. Grass service about the same. Crappy service. I couldn’t recommend them to anyone. I’m sure they will not get our award after this year. Your company should be ashamed to take money one year with little to no service and then the next year when service is needed you don’t show up.
Give up your business. Rating 0 out of 10.

Shoddy, sloppy service. Actually trying to mow now after thunderstorm & before the next one arrives in 5 minutes. Who in their right mind would try and mow wet ground with a personal lawnmower let alone a commercial one?? If I was able, I’d do my own. They are more concerned with making money than providing excellent customer service. They promise everything and barely deliver on anything. They weed whack down to the ground and weeds grow up in place of grass. Winter service is just as bad or worse. I don’t know why our HOA & management company continue to contract with them - Schwader’s is ruining our lawns!!

This Company really goes above and beyond its really impressive there attention to detail.
The guy that plows will get out of his tractor and move the trash cans plow and move them back. That's wonderful.
In the spring they start-up my irrigation check for leaks and make any needed adjustments.
Shwaders even added a zone of dripline in my garden. In the fall they winterize it.
Before it snows about 10 guys show up with backpack blowers and blow all the leafs in my yard into the street and suck them up with a big machine. All in about 15 minutes.
When their mowing my yard they will get off their mowers just a pick up sticks they work as a team very efficient. keep up the good work guys!

For the second year in a row, Shwaders has neglected our HOA contract for setting up snow stakes on everyone's property. They made a weak excuse saying they didn't think they were permitted on our property because we mow our lawn in the summer. They are not comfortable with boundaries set by homeowners. Company owner, Wade Vriez, has been punitive towards a home owner who did not want heavy machinery tearing up the yard or putting fertilizer on ground that is already high in phosphorus. We are not impressed with his company nor his communication skills. He is very difficult to work with. Sadly, this is our second 1 star review of the company.

Paid for seasonal snow removal for ‘25-26 season. Had our first snow event and I am blown away by these guys. They send frequent text updates about if and exactly when they will be out plowing. Did not expect that as my previous experience before moving here was absolutely no communication and just not showing up after our only blizzard that year. Not only did they do a perfect job (in the middle of the night) but they came back a second time that day to clear the big ridge from the snowplow. I had also done a lot of shoveling of sidewalks and other areas and much of that was thrown on the driveway which they took care of when they came back. I honestly didn’t expect them to replow the whole driveway since most of that snow came from me but they just did it. I was nervous about paying for service again after a previous bad experience at my last home but I can say that you guys have me as a customer as long as I live within your service area. Thank you for going above and beyond. Your communication alone shows you understand the impact of your service on your customers.

I am, and have been for the last 5 years or so, very impressed by their level of professionalism and true care they have for their customers. Derek has been wonderful to work with. He has educated me not only on lawn care and snow removal, but what it takes to run a business.

The snow blowing portion of their business is just wonderful. They can plow my driveway in about 7 mins and it takes me about 1.5 hours! They also will come back and do ridges if the city hasn't plowed first! That is excellent service! It is truly the best money I spend in the winter here in Minnesota.

I highly recommend Shwaders if you are looking for lawn care and snow removal. You will not be disappointed!

Thank you so much, Derek!😊

These guys are awesome! Service is great.
