As with the prior two projects the job was executed professionally, on time and with the upmost care to the natural wooded surroundings. John Fridy is an artist when it comes to creating a landscape that is in keeping with the natural surroundings. His team was very courteous, professional and hard working. Our property is one that most landscapers would not want to work on but John and his team have always been up to the challenge of creating a beautiful transformation. We receive many compliments from our neighbors and friends. I highly recommend Naturescapes for any landscaping project. Nancy and Doug Wright

It worked perfectly! This Spring, his son replaced my shared front garden wall well below what my neighbor quoted for. His crew was super friendly and my new wall (and garden) is beautiful. Great work by these guys.

The second was more recently to re-lay out garage floor and some concrete blocks on our sidewalk. They did a great job both times, we've had many people comment on how well they parged the walls, including other contractors. They also managed to lower or basement flow by 6 inches down to the bottom of the foundation walls. They've always been on time, great communication, and both jobs have been fantastic. No wonder there's a waiting period to get on their schedule. Highly recommended Carl and his crew!

I reached out for a quote - got Joe on the phone - he was at my house the next day. Through the whole process our communication was good - I got other similar quotes - but Joe and I got along great right away so he got the job. AG was ready to work - they showed up and on the first day, my back yard was leveled! They worked hard and quickly. Even came on a Saturday! In 8 days it was done and what a transformation! Our dream back yard in just over a week:) Thanks to Joe, Andrew (site manager/Joe's brother) and to the whole crew. We couldn't be happier. Recommended! What they did: Removal of wire fencing on both sides of property, as well as general debris. Removal of large encroaching bush and clearing of vine covered areas including on utility wires, leveling ground with sand, laying flag stone in over 90% of property, installing 3 sidings of treated wooden fencing including the creation of a seamless gate leading to back alley, staining of all wood fencing, creating small garden nook, minor cement work and new drain was added.

They removed our old fence and put in flagstones over our cracked concrete pad. From the beginning, Joe and Andrew were friendly, communicative, and professional. Their crew arrived on time each day and stayed within the timeline and budget we agreed to. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to beautify their backyard.

Best of all, our pool opened on time for Memorial Day Weekend 2019 and our residents were able to reap the benefits of Metric's solid work.

Five stars all the way! First, let me say that I am an…read moreelectrician on Yelp; you can search me by name and you'll see that I am one of the highest rated electricians in the city. I'm not saying this to brag; *I'm saying this so that you understand that I know what it takes to be a high-quality contractor*. Casimir fits the bill. I needed my entire side wall pointed for my 3-storey Victorian Twin. I didn't know any Masons, but I asked my own customers and obviously had the opportunity to see work that my customers had had done on their houses, but I wasn't happy with what I saw. So I went to Yelp: and that's where I found Casimir. When I asked on a South Philly Facebook group, Casimir also came highly recommended. Becky is the person in the office. She was friendly and easy to work with. She communicated well and answered all my nit-picky questions. I originally called in late fall and wanted to wait till warmer weather. We agreed on a date for April -and to my amazement, they kept that date for me. Originally Shawn came out and gave me the estimate. Then in the spring, he came out and supervised the work. And he *worked* with the crew; he didn't just disappear like so many "supervisors" do. I was impressed by his professional demands for the work quality. He matched brick colors, used traditional pointing materials and replaced a lintel above a window. I also had them replace a section of walkway in my alley. Shawn was great to work with as was the rest of the crew. In May, I wanted to get some more work done; there was a minor issue with some slope for run-off and not surprisingly, Casimir handled the problem with absolute professionalism. No excuses made and generously dealt with the problem taking responsibility for the (minor) problem. Let me just say, few jobs turn out perfectly the first time. And to be honest, most contractors can get away with small mistakes and nobody notices -but I'm a nit-picky contractor. What matters is how a contractor deals with little problems and Casimir is honest, upfront, and -can I use this word again?- totally professional. It's clear that they take pride in their work as well as their reputation. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending them.

Evan coordinated removing the sheds and rocks, building a dry-well to fix irrigation issues, installing a patio and sod and building a fence. There were also some permitting issues that required altering plans and delays due to terrible rain storms and they worked around all of these issues well. Over all it was a great experience. I'll be hiring them back for seasonal cleanups.

Evan trimmed them beautifully, and they look so nice in a new bed of mulch! That was a pretty small job, but it came out great! Also had a patio put in this summer and my lawn was torn up really bad by the bobcat and other machinery for pouring the concrete. I wanted some sod to get it back up to speed quickly and Evan came thru again! Got it all done in one day, and the sod looks great! He gave me good instructions on how to keep it going during the heatwave, regular watering in the AM and evening, but not at night. It's doing great so far and I'm very pleased with E&J Landscaping!

They missed the original date they were supposed to come and start the project. They damaged my neighbors tree and denied they did the damage.

I could go into more detail but it is not worth the effort. The bottom line I would not recommend them.

We were scheduled for a roof replacement, new gutters, and masonry repairs. All the work was completed within two weeks. Lane did everything they said they would and on the schedule they provided. To be sure, this was the least stressful construction/contractor relationship I've ever experienced. The final cost matched the estimate. Throughout the entire process, Lane communicated everything - when they were starting, who was showing up, and how long the work would take. They cleaned up every day. For perspective, our roof is a nightmare with some very steep pitches, multiple dormers, and a chimney running through the middle of the roof. The last time we replaced the roof, the contractor took over a month to complete the job. Lane completed the roof in less than a day. To be sure, Lane was the least stressful construction/contractor relationship I've ever experienced.
