Absolutely the worst decision we ever made.
We told Matt we wanted landscaping that would provide us with little to no maintenance, since we have health issues and not able to do as much yard work as we could in the past. What the finished product turned out to be, was a HUGE increase in the amount of work to maintain our yard.
The project was completed in October of 2013 and looked amazing...at first. Eventually, the bark that was used in the bedding failed to perform as we were led to believe and had to be redone. So for additional costs, in May of '15, we had them put down rock with a so-called "weed barrier". Now, every spring we are inundated with weeds growing in the bedding, which also requires additional upkeep throughout the summer and fall because it is so overwhelming. The rock is nearly impossible to keep in the bedding due to the concrete edging design. I should have known the application of the rock was going to turn out bad when I received a complaint from my neighbor about the crew they sent out to do the work. Copper Creek sent out crew that was loud and obnoxious and using a lot of profanity. They apologized, however it was also apparent their workmanship was also suspect. We found countless staples in the lawn, some the hard way...ouch, along with remnants of the fabric from the weed barrier all over the yard which we had to pick up and dispose of ourselves. Copper Creek had been a pleasure to deal with up to that point, but the crew they sent for that particular job made it seem like I had contracted to an entirely different company.
It literally brings me to tears when I think about this whole process and the amount of money we spent on the overall project. We are not wealthy people by any means, and the money we spent on the project wasn't a drop in the bucket, yet we felt the investment would pay off in the long run to help with our situation and also increase the value of our home. Now I'm going to be forced to hire a lawn service to assist with our spring and fall cleanups, and weed reduction. I cannot and will not trust Copper Creek. read more
