What clients say about Boyas Recycling in Valley View Heights (OH)
We were in need of small boulders big enough to stop the neighbors from driving on our yard next to their drive but small enough to move ourselves. The people at Boyas were fantastic! See them for any landscape needs. It was less than $15 for 3 approximately 70lb boulders.
***SHADY BUSINESS PRACTICES***
Went to place my order and they charged me a 25% mark up from the price that they are advertising on their website. While not illegal technically, a terrible way to acquire or retain customers. They also tried to charge me $105 for delivery when it says $90
Workers very unprofessional and disrespectful..if I listened to the guy I would've had 4 flat tires ...said drive on top of the garbage and dump..and you guys hire these special individuals ?
Ordered 3 cubic yards of screened premium topsoil mix to level off a large part of my yard. The price was good, the people were helpful, and the delivery was excellent.
What I'm not as happy with however, is the amount of glass I found and continue to find in the dirt. This could be partially user error and perhaps I should have screened it again. I’m not sure if it’s to be expected to find large amounts of glass when ordering dirt, or if I got unlucky, but a warning would have been appreciated. I’ve spent hours upon hours picking glass out of my yard since the delivery.
It’s like the Family Guy “ooh a piece of candy” skit, except replace the word “candy” with “glass”.
Anyways, I can recommend them, just be careful. Especially if you’re less experienced with landscaping and have children or pets.
Very reasonably priced place for dumping yard waste. My 5 year old son also thought it was fun being able to drive through a land fill and see all the heavy equipment at work.
I had a great experience at Boyas Excavating. Their customer service was top-notch—friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful from start to finish. They also offer high-quality products all around. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend them to anyone in need of their services!
They take small loads too. I loaded the back of my Subaru Outback with asphalt I dug out from my backyard, since Cleveland doesn't take asphalt and I wanted to dispose of it properly. I called Boyas up and they said no problem. So I drove over from West Park and they were nice enough to have one of their employees help me unload. 5/5 service and convenience. I can't recommend them enough if you construction waste you're trying to dispose of, even if it's just a small amount.
At a recent Cornerstone of Hope meeting for people who have lost a spouse, we needed a bunch of 1 lb. rocks to demonstrate an issue that happens in the grievance journey. I contacted Dennis Knill at Boyas/ Pete & Pete Excavating on purchasing those rocks.
When I arrived, Dennis did not even blink and immediately donated anything we needed. I was both amazed and grateful for Dennis and the staff at Boyas/ Pete$ Pete. They are truly kind, "people oriented" folks, who will help with any project.
Thank You Dennis and Team!!
I highly recommend Boyas/ Pete & Pete Excavating for ANY project!!!
They advertise hours of operation yet waive off my arrival stating that their hours are "..subject to change”....while they are still there. I attempted to call one hour in advance and left a message explaining I was on route - and it was important to confirm they were open as advertised. So, now my full trailer of waste will sit in freezing rain and be unavailable for my Monday morning obligations. Why advertise your hours if they are subject to whimsical change? And why have a phone number advertised if you do not answer it or call anyone back? No honor to fulfill obligations... not even an attempt for customer courtesy.
I am so impressed with this company and their employees. Ian dropped off topsoil to my house today, and he was so awesome to work with. Kind, respectful, insightful and helpful. You cannot go wrong with these folks. A+++++++++++
I found this company while searching for landscaping rocks, WOW, the people were great and their selection is huge! A lot of character is how I would describe the rocks and boulders.
You would be doing yourself a disservice to go anywhere else. I can't wait to put them in my garden ?
Easy place to take your construction debris but they gotta stop raising their prices for the average joe. Its getting pretty ridiculous. $140 for a little 6x12 dump trailer is just going overboard when last year i was paying $90 for the same dam load!
I never thought I’d have the honor of being banned from a garbage dump, but here we are. I visited this place to dump some construction debris for an Amish construction crew. I told the front desk I had never been here before, or to any dump before, and asked where to go. The man at the front desk said, “go down the hill and dump between poles two and three.” I headed down the hill and drove for what seemed like a mile on a boggy trail. After finally passing a huge electrical pole marked “2”, I came across a of a huge pile of already-discarded construction debris. I wasn’t sure where I should be because the place hadn’t any wayfinding signs, but I figured I was in the right place when another truck pulled up to dump next to me. After I was done emptying the load, a man in a bulldozer parked in front of me, exited, and cursed me out for dumping in the wrong place. After calling me an idiot six ways to Sunday in unpublishable language, he told me to put the load I just dumped back in the truck. I told him that I followed the office’s instructions exactly, and have never been here before. His response was for me to pack up and get out of there, and never come back. I can’t say I’ll miss it; the place is a dump.
Their drivers are constantly almost causing accidents when they pull out.
I drive past to get to and from work and witness their recklessness constantly. Literally when i went to go get lunch and watched a truck almost plow into a little red car. Thank god the cat swerved in time. They’ve almost hit it multiple times. If you can’t trust their drivers to not hit other cars then you have an issue
We have been customers at Boyas for several years now. Cannot say enough good things about this business. Pete is a great guy with great employees. He highly maintains the dump and all of his land/equipment. Prices are fair, and we've always gotten great quality of stone/mulch when needed. We are lifetime customers!
Work with them for two years . All great. I just wish their business hours were a bit longer. Dumped there dirt, concrete, wood , construction debris. Purchase gravel and dirt. All good quality and prices
The guys that run this place are great. Wonderful place to go and get all your landscaping needs. I didn't think professional customer service still existed until I found this gem in the city.
First time ever using this company. I had a small load of concrete and rotted lumber from my house. I received Excellent customer service, their pricing is reasonable. I highly Recommend, for any do it yourself construction refuse disposal.
The guy at the stone yard near me on Cannon Rd is always cranky and they are closed Saturdays.
Today I drove to Boyas for stone.
They were all nice people to work with and the process was easy and I felt welcomed.
Thank you and I appreciate you.
Do not buy "screened" topsoil from this company usnless you want broken glass, mulch, rocks, in the soil. The broken glass range from .5" to 1", mulch as long 4" long and rocks 1". These guys put a stock photo of topsoil on their page and called it "screen". You'll have a terrible time removing the debris from the soil. Never again from this company.
We needed to fill in some muddy holes in our driveway and drop off a bunch of demolition waste. We had historically paid for a dumpster company to come haul away but it was getting so expensive. We decided to give Boyas a try. We had no idea what this process would be like but it was such a great experience. Everyone was super nice and helpful. We were able to drop off our waste and grab the fill dirt (which they loaded). When we returned for a second load, they recognized us and helped us decide the best type of stone for our project. I cannot recommend this place enough.
Great price, even gave a little extra. I forgot to air the tires on my trailer. The guy that loaded my trailer stopped me as I was pulling off to tell me the right tire was completely flat under the load. Another guy drove over with a air compressor and filled both tires. I left there feeling truly blessed.
When calling they were very helpful, the person was able to help me with the amount I would need to place rocks around my pool. The driver was very friendly. Called to confirm he was on his way. He was able to accommodate where I needed the rocks placed. I will definitely be doing more work with this company in the future and will definitely be referring them to people. They made sure they were able to deliver when I needed.
