The usual person who managed my services at S. Johnson supplied a contract for Simonfay services. It gave the rate for mowing my property, which was reasonable and just a little more than S. Johnson charged last year. I agreed to it. Today I was shocked to find a crew on my property - not with a mower but with equipment that looked more like seasonal cleanup. I told them to leave because I only contracted for mowing. When I reported this to Simonfay, I was informed that I was obligated to take ALL their maintenance services to get mowing. They could have apologized for a misunderstanding stemming from the change in ownership, but they did not. They did nothing to earn my business.

Short Summary: We can confidently recommend CLC Landscape…read moredesign for your landscape project - big or small. They take pride and ownership of their work, and they continue to provide support well after the project is finished. Full Details: In our neighborhood, there's no shortage of landscape design companies with their trucks advertising in front of all the different houses. After seeing some of the amazing photos of CLC's work in magazines and social media and reading about their family owned and operated company, we reached out and met with CLC and instantly connected right away. They seemed much more attentive than other companies we contacted, listened to our ideas, gave great advice, and their vision aligned with ours. Our project included removing some trees, re-grading our yard, adding a small round blue stone patio/firepit, plantings and new sod. While our project may have been a smaller one, we were still treated the same and given the same attention and detail as a much larger project. The design phase of the project was invaluable as the created renderings really helped us envision what the end goal would look like. Next, when it was time to break ground, our initial project manager Alex went above and beyond, even taking time out on a Saturday to go stone shopping with us. When Alex had to attend to a family emergency, CLC quickly adjusted and sent us the dynamic duo of Gary and Pat who immediately stepped in, took ownership of the project, and made sure everything continued to run smoothly. Gary, in particular, was in constant communication with us, keeping us updated on project details and assuring us that everything would stay on track. He's a Zen master - when he says don't worry, we're going to fix this/do this instead/I have a better idea, you just feel confident about the end result. Our foreman, Enrique, also deserves an honorable mention as someone incredibly detail-oriented, who always wanted to do things the right way, no shortcuts. He treated our yard as if it was his own, constantly trying to make everything perfect. We appreciated even the little things he did - like staging plants/trees in the shade to protect them from the hot sun or even coming in on a weekend to water those plants. Everything he did demonstrated the attention, care, and pride in his work. Things would look good to us but not to Enrique's sharp eye, and he'd smile and go over it one more time just to be certain. Was our project 100% completely smooth? Of course not, no project is, but Pat/Gary/Enrique/Alex and the rest of the CLC team always adjusted, tackled issues, gave us advice, and figured out the best way to solve whatever problem was at hand, which left us feeling at ease. And, in the end, after the work was finished, everything was cleaned up, no debris left behind, Gary continued checking up on us, weeks later, to ensure our sod is growing properly. And now we can sit back and enjoy a beautiful backyard that we know was done the right way and will provide us with joy for many years to come.

He correctly diagnosed the drainage fault with one of our window wells that would collect water & then seep through the window. We now have a new deeper window well and a better landscape gradient so no more issues since. On our other side his team dug down to address cracked drainage pipes, whilst re-sealing the water pipes connecting into the house from the yard. They then discovered the drainage pipes were not connecting properly to the water wells dug into the back yard. Having this work done has ensured our basement has remained water free and it is a weight off my mind when it downpours! John is honest and efficient and his team were very hard working and I would definately recommend them.

He is the whole package - design/creativity and excellent implementation - for a fair price. He was on site the day of planting and made sure everything went to plan. He is an excellent communicator, listening to your vision but also mindful of what is actually possible in your space. We have a shady front yard which can be a challenge to work with, and we'd hired one landscaper prior who planted so many things that didn't grow well in the shade, which Eric pointed out for us. He worked with us to find better plants for shade, all of which look *great.* Can't say enough good stuff about this company!

I told Ken what I wanted and he said he could turn our property into the envy of the neighborhood. I was skeptical at first. I needed flowers and shrubs. The side and rear of the house were just ugly dirt and gravel. I wanted a side patio of pavers and rear walkway to cover up the dirt and gravel on the sides of the house. A walkway from the rear walkway to the rear deck. There was a shed with a cement walkway that had to be removed. This was no small task. They tore down the shed and cement walkway and cleared out and leveled out the rear yard. They had to remove over 20 yards of dirt and rocks. They had to move a small tree from the middle of the yard to the corner. They planted new flowers and shrubs with existing ones put down new sod . Then install all the hardscape. It was quite a task. When it finally was finished I couldn't believe it was the same property. Now when buyers come to see the house the first thing they look at is the beautiful new yard. Ken and his crew at Artistic Bamboo did an incredible job. I would highly recommend them for all your needs. Thanks Ken
