Anna at Bala Cynwyd Center does an excellent job keeping center clean in the afternoon. Works hard and is friendly

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Charles Friel company has done an excellent job with the cleaning and sanitation at the Bala Cynwyd Plaza. The improvements in cleanliness are noticeable, and the plaza feels much more inviting now. I would especially like to highlight the exceptional work of Ana Luisa, one of their employees, who always goes above and beyond. Her attention to detail and professionalism truly stand out, making a big difference in maintaining the high standards of the plaza.

Weed wacked live plants and flowers multiple times, weed wacked my cars front grill, and weedwacked my grill cover apart. Didn't even actually weedwack the edging itself. Management was advised multiple times. No attention to detail, and my 10 year old nephew could do a better job. No one answers the phone in the office. If you are considering a contract, there are many other local options to save yourself the headache.

I would give them zero stars if I could. My community unfortunately switched to Charles Friel and their landscapers consistently weed whack plants in my bordered and mulched garden. They cut down an entire hosta plant to its root. If you don’t know what these are, they do not look like weeds at all. Additionally, they consistently fail to weed whack the sidewalk edging and other places where it’s actually needed. In no way would I recommend Charles Friel. Look elsewhere.

Rick Stevens provides quick quality service. I had my two children’s and a living room rug cleaned. Rick was on time, curious, did a good job and left the home clean and in good shape. I would happily use this carpet cleaning service again.

I thought my carpets were beyond help, but they proved me wrong! Anthony Glover

Our cleaning experience was outstanding. The professionals did a impeccable job. Oliver

We recently had our carpets cleaned and the Technicians, were very professional and friendly. They explained the best way to price the carpet cleaning for our home.I'm very happy and would highly recommend

Had them come to my place (Haverford) for a minor job while I was at work. Came home to find it completed, and no sign that they were even there. Fantastic.

A major disappointment. I wanted this to work out but it failed miserably midway through the project. I have written to Frank to try to resolve my claim with him. He has not responded.

They came in and did some cement work to fix the leak in our basement, but, just a month later it leaks again, so what they did do not work. I called multiple times trying to get people back to fix this issue but can't get in touch with anyone for few months then they finally contact me to schedule for another inspection, however, after inspection, no one came in to do any fix that we have discussed during the inspection. The worst experience i have even had

Very professional! Fixed a long-term leak into our basement by repointing stone, diverting water, and inserting and creating drainage away from the house. They also repaired the damaged interior wall. Work was done cleanly and on time and according to estimate. Was particularly happy that they had a holistic view to solving the problem both outside and inside. Highly recommended!!

Legacy put in a major drainage system in the backyard to handle heavy rains, downspouts and a very active sump pump and finished with a new sod yard. They were wonderful to work with, kept us informed throughout the whole scheduling and install process. Looking forward to working with them on more projects.

We had Frank and Legacy come out to redo a wall along our driveway and they were awesome! Very professional, paid attention to details and made great suggestions (even mid way through the job) to ensure we were satisfied with the outcome. Very happy with the results of this project, they did an excellent job. Highly recommend!

We had some drainage issues in the back of our house and in side yard. We took wager in our basement during Hurricane Isaias and sought professional advice. Frank and his team did a wonderful establishing drains and diverting water. They are polite, thorough, and responsive. Highly recommend Legacy Landscapes!

My husband and I can’t express enough how happy we are with Frank Bessey’s work. He replaced shrubs, made changes to our flower beds and fixed some issues in the back yard created by our curious dogs. Frank was incredibly easy to work with, responsive, no surprises, on time and fairly priced. We cannot wait to start up with him in the Spring. You could not do better than Frank.

Contacted Frank on a Thursday to inquire about a trench I needed dug for an electric line that was being installed the upcoming Tuesday. Friday he was out to look at the yard and first thing Saturday him and his team were there to dig the trench (for a very affordable cost). The team was friendly, professional & focused on getting the job done right. Fully expected to have to reschedule my electric job until Legacy saved the day. They went above and beyond and even volunteered to help me knock out a few miner projects just because they were there and had the equipment. I’ll be calling them for any of my yard needs moving forward.

We signed a contract with Legacy/Frank Bessey in Nov of 2022 and paid half as a deposit. Work was supposed to begin in March of 2023. March came around and Frank was no where to be found. After multiple calls, texts, emails, and a certified letter, we finally heard from Frank in August of 2023 and he promised to begin the work the following week. It's now October and we can't get ahold of Frank once again nor have we received our deposit back.

We worked with Frank and his team to solve a difficult drainage problem in our back and side yard. Water would pool up and almost never dry other than middle of summer.

Frank was creative in coming with a solution that works great and wasn’t overly invasive during the digging and installation. His team had to run a few hundred yards of pipe and dig a 10x20x8 ft hole in the side yard to capture all the routed water. We definitely needed a professional solution to our problem and we’re happy we hired the right company to do it. The team reseeded the yard and left sprinklers for us to use for several weeks after.

We signed with Legacy/Frank Bessey at the end for February 2022 and put down a deposit to secure an early May start date. After 6 follow up emails, multiple texts and 2 additional missed dates Frank showed up in the middle of July. We were patient and pretty understanding given that we were coming out of the pandemic and there was high demand for services but all we got were excuses. The list of reasons for the delay included uncooperative weather, a broken foot, 2 members of his crew calling out sick, and a machine that was in for repair.

The job itself was performed poorly at best. Stone slabs for our walkway were to be lifted, raised and reinstalled but one large slab was damaged and others were misaligned. Legacy did not compact the top soil and the sprinkler’s Frank set up made the ground soft and muddy, causing the new growth to die. Frank assured me that he would look at the work that was done, determine what needs repair and have a plan to grow the grass and evaluate the water mitigation work. However, he never showed up and stopped returning messages. The two areas that he was contracted to repair and plant grass are now completely dead and heavy with the straw that his crew laid down.

Frank is friendly guy who will tell customers what they want to hear but in my experience, he fails to honor his commitments. His work product is poor with little attention to detail.

John and his crew transformed my empty backyard to a lovely refuge. He worked with me on a plan that included my preference for privacy and plant materials, but also guided me with his experience for what would enhance our view from the porch. He chose appropriate, healthy trees and plants. He also helped install a beautiful graded walkway entrance. We love our new garden. John continues to be responsive to ongoing questions and concerns, well after installation.
