I met John Kelley, the owner of Hollywood Landscaping when I went to sign up my boys for baseball. Having just moved from Brooklyn, I had never seen such well maintained baseball fields in a little league as I did at the Aston Middletown Little League. It turns out that his company, Hollywood Landscaping, maintained the fields.
After I got to know John, I found out that he not only maintained the fields, he also did a lot of "non-profit" work in the area, including the local library, churches, civic associations, etc. When my wife wanted EP Henry pavers for our front yard I gave John a call. I didn't call anyone else to get a competing bid, because I feel if someone gives back to the neighborhood, we should take care of them. Plus I've seen the work that he's done in the area, from modest homes like mine, to multi-million dollar homes and businesses, to the baseball fields. John did the pavers, and threw in the grass for free. His staff was on time every day, was very respectful to my wife and kids, and finished the job on cost and on schedule.
If you want to see the final result, I've posted a few pictures here:

In the end, my wife and I were thrilled with the results. I can't count the number of compliments we've received on the work that was done by Hollywood Landscaping read more
