I was also impressed, he thought about incorporating drainage.  They are up front about everything and don't try to cut corners.  If you have a bad idea, they will tell you why and if you have a good suggestion, they will try to accommodate!  The communication is outstanding! They document thoroughly and keep you updated every stage.  If you have any requests, they will do everything to accommodate.  For instance, when he first quoted, he included 10 loads of dirt, but it just did not look like we "had" to have that much, so we discussed it and they agreed to use 5 loads, with added verbage in the agreement if more was needed, how much and deal with it if we need to. we address it. He worked hard and we never had to use more.  When he quoted too, he pointed out holes in the yard we did not think about and volunteered to include those in the price.  He also underestimated an amount for seed and did not charge us for more.  They are so, so nice and I felt secure knowing the work was done right.  It is a husband and wife team and they have a good process going.  Think of it as the "personal touch."   FYI, there was a bunch of leftover material from trees that were taken down.  The first person was going to spread that out - that would have impeded on the growth of grass and lawn mowing.  Grass is hard enough to grow now with it so hot - they do give you explicit instructions to assure you get results.  And, for a minimal cost they hauled off the bad stuff.  That was a choice I am glad we did instead of moving it in a corner or along the fence!   I consulted with another 5 star company.  I turned him down because he would turn it over to the employees and only be there at the start of the job.  He also quoted 1/4 of the amount of dirt and that told me what I needed to know. By the way, they have been around a long time but just changed their name from MaxiTurf because it did not accurately reflect what they do best. I told them the new name is perfect but why you may not see many reviews. They had other jobs going but got us on the calendar in less than a week. They even worked on the weekend to make sure we did not have to wait! I forgot to take pictures but I will add later.

Their pricing was clearly the best of several bids. The trees were all in tight quarters and had to be roped out. They were particularly careful protecting certain areas with important plants or smaller trees. There was minimal damage and less than would be expected for a job of this size. The salesman and project manager were often on site during the work, but the 6 man crew was more than capable on their own. They had the necessary equipment to move quickly and efficiently. After the log truck came a few days later they came back to clean up the mess. If you have major tree work to do you should get a proposal from Tree Time before you decide.
