I contacted them to get a quote on doing some patio work around my pool. I wasn't able to get a…read moreresponse for days. When I finally got a response, I told them I'd already deposited with another company and I'd told them that they should have responded sooner. I then got an odd email back saying something about how it was Mother's Day, and that it was someone's (whom I didn't know) birthday, and that's why they couldn't respond. I'm not sure why they thought I would care, or why these would be legitimate reasons why a business couldn't respond to an inquiry, but that made it go from a 3 stars to a 1 star for me.

I know there are a lot of landscaping companies out there but I know for a fact this guy is at the top of the list. Spring, summer, fall and winter, him and his crew dominate the competition. They work extremely hard and put in long hours. I've only seen one other company work as hard as this one does.

Hired for driveway and walkway in September 2025. After 3 months and a naby, many delays the…read morewalkway was done but it was installed up to the stairs incorrecty. They only left a 3" step which is illegal. Left a ton of cement in the driveway that we had to break up and remove because it was starting to snow. He did not do anything with the driveway because several times he didn't show up when he said he was coming. Then it was too cold to pour asphalt. Took a $2000 deposit for the driveway. Original quote for the walkway was change 3 times each time increasing with an unfounded reason. Have tried reaching out to him this week to try and resolve the issues but he has not reponded. Looks like we will need to take him to court to recoup our money.
