Jay replied to my project inquiry…read morethrough Thumbtack quickly and we scheduled a time for him to come by to take a look at our yard to assess and provide a quote. Jay arrived on time to our quote appointment we had set. I explained the scope of the project and what we were looking to complete. I also explained that we were running on a tight timeline as we were prepping our home for sale and were looking to put it on the market within one week. Jay sent me the quote promptly, and it outlined the cost of each component. Once I was able to speak with our realtor, we decided to change the scope of our project slightly. Jay was receptive to the change and provided an updated quote. While I had received a few different quotes for this project, it was an easy decision to go with Clear Advantage Landscaping. I paid a deposit (half the cost of the project) to secure the work. The process was very easy. On the day of the project, Jay texted me to let me know he was on his way and he arrived on time. We revisited expectations and he started on the work. He was very flexible when I learned that another contractor would need to be on site to compete work in a similar area. All in all, the project took about a 1/2 day and it looks awesome! This is the nicest our yard has looked in a long time and the work competed will assist with providing some definite curb appeal for our listing. If you are looking for a great landscaping contractor who is punctual, communicative, respectful, reliable, and does great work--choose Clear Advantage Landscaping. I will definitely be calling Jay to assist with landscaping needs at our new home.

I saw their vans around town and decided to give them a call. They are easy to get in touch with via text, they are very respectful, and their team knocks it out of the park as far as timing. We've been using them for a few months now for lawn mowing and leaf blowing. Recently had a quote for landscaping and clearing brush which was also reasonably priced based on the amount of work we need done. Since we've broken 3 lawnmowers and two leaf blowers since we've moved here, I'd say we were not cut out for lawn work, and this team certainly came in when we needed them. I'd recommend them to anyone!

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! I hired this company to do a stamped patio, walkway, pour a concrete pad…read morefor a dog kennel and resolve a water issue. The water issue is during heavy rain water will run into my basement garage area and the building where my dog kennels will be. We wrote the contract and I paid half the money upfront $4500. After the job was completed I paid the other $4500, but there were still things he agreed/needed to do such as: paint the border on the patio and seal it. The weather was not cooperating at that time and the concrete needed to set up first. After not hearing from him after the final $4500 was paid, my husband called and Mr. Sullivan said he needed to wait until the weather was warm to complete the job. The weather warmed up and he never came to finish the job. A big part of the job was to resolve the water issue. Me and 4 other people expressed our concern that his plan was not going to hold up under heavy thunderstorms. Mr. Sullivan insisted it would. Unusual for N.C. weather, we had major thunderstorms on Sat. Jan. 11th and the 13th. As expected, my basement garage and building flooded on both days. This water could have seriously injured my dogs if occupied but the building is not ready for them yet. I contacted Mr. Sullivan and he said he would come that day at 3:00. He did not call and he did not show up. He called 3 hrs. later and said he would come the next morning. He did show up for that and when we talked he was argumentative and defensive. He didn't even remember telling my husband he was going to paint the border nor anything in the contract. He did say he would " try" something to resolve the water issue. After paying $9,000 I told him I was not paying any more money for a job that was not done correctly. He asked for money for the supplies and stated he would do the labor for free. I did not agree, but he said he would call later with quotes and be here the next day to fix it. He never called or showed up. We did communicate via text after this and he did propose to fix it with the most ridiculous, cheapest way out idea just like the first time. His plan would have never held up and I was not going to risk my dogs getting hurt. At this point he had already proved he does things the fastest, cheapest way, is unresponsive, dishonest and does not stand by his work. He did not even pour the concrete pad correctly for the dog kennels so instead of being able to house 5 rescue dogs, I can only house 4. The new contractor I have had to hire did a laser test and the concrete Mr. Sullivan poured is actually turning the water towards my basement and dog kennels! IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: I filed a complaint against this company with the Better Business Bureau and Mr. Sullivan FAILED to respond. The case was closed as UNANSWERED. If he is not going to respond to them, what is the probability he will respond to you when the job is not done correctly and after he has taken your money? I am sure he will have a politically correct response but here is the link to the BBB complaint: [*** Link removed ***] or if you receive an error message just type in Carolina Decorative Concrete and you will see the complaint (s), or you can contact Melissa Neal at mneal@bbbtrust.org Phone: (336) 231-6457. So no matter what his response to this review is, I think this claim speaks for itself.
