Highly recommend this company as Mario is an expert and knows how to handle each type of tree which we have a variety of them at our home. The price is very reasonable. Will definitely recommend him to my friends and family.

On Saturday he said he was on my way to my house but alas, he didn't show until 4 hours later. I asked him for a time to expect him but he never let me know. I have a contract with them but he is very unresponsive and my yard looked terrible as we were over 2 weeks without a cut at the end of May and early June. I thought the issues that I had when I initially contracted with him to mulch and seed my yard in the spring were an anomaly but they appear instead to be part of a pattern. After first contacting him to do Spring bed clean-up and mulching, I waited 3 plus weeks and they never showed even though he stated they would mulch within the week after receiving the contract. When I finally was able to reach him, I had to insist that they do the work as they wanted to wait another 2 weeks which would have put us into late May for mulching and seeding and over 5 weeks from the initial request for service. (Then he never cleaned up/trimmed the plants in the side gardens. ) The delays, unresponsiveness, and lack of communication and the fact that he clearly misled, if not outright lied, to me about being on his way are indicative of the poor customer service and an unreliable business. I would advise you to avoid working with Pine Ridge Landscaping.

He was very polite and quick to follow up my voice mail that I had left. He sent his crew out and got all the trees removed and stumps taken care of in one day and that following day his crew was back to remove all the stump grindings and remove and level out the garden beds and then sodded them and made it look perfect with my existing lawn. Since then, I have had Danny and his team out to install a full-frontal landscape design and a flagstone patio. Now i have them out installing landscape lighting. I would highly recommend Looking Sharpe Landscapes. There's no project they can't handle.

After several design…read moreiterations back and forth, we settled on a 50x20 pool, with an integrated sundeck, significant hardscaping including a large marble patio, custom built outdoor kitchen, and firepit. He also installed sod throughout, new sprinkler system, new lighting, fencing, and did all the landscaping and tree design. It came out absolutely incredible! Working with Paulo was such a pleasure. His demeanor is calm, cool, and collected. He's incredibly professional, stands behind his work, doesn't nickel and dime you, and if there are missteps he owns it and most importantly fixes it immediately. We have recommended Grow Landscapes and Paulo to countless people and will continue to do so! We have lived with the new backyard for a little over a year now and the quality is outstanding! Post delivery support has been amazing as well. Highly highly recommended!!

Our walk and portico look fantastic. C&G Masonry is a reliable and honest company with professional masonry workers who are also a pleasure to work with. They are a great resource for homeowners! I would give them six stars if possible.

We found it difficult to find a mason willing to undertake a relatively small job at our small colonial in North Arlington (removal of a concrete walkway and installation of a dry-laid herringbone walkway). Matt met with us several times to work out the design, promptly prepared what we felt was a fair estimate, and conducted the work as scheduled. The workmanship (I'm afraid that I've forgotten the name of the principal mason) was superb and Matt was good about accommodating some late minute changes in the design.

He produced a CAD drawing that represented everything I was trying to accomplish, which was very helpful in obtaining the HOA approval before I started. All through this process he took the time to answer questions, and was exceptionally helpful in choosing the type of brick I wanted to use. I was coordinating the patio with an HVAC replacement that would happen at the same time, and Matt's team accommodated the HVAC crew so I would not have to go without a/c for more than an evening. The finished product was exactly what I wanted, the wait was worth it to find a company like J Reynolds who could turn the idea into a realty. After the two large storms, absolutely no standing water on the patio, which was a major consideration of the drainage design. Highest recommendation for J Reynolds, I will be using them to design and build in the front of the house next year.

I contracted with Hughes to do work on my property to correct drainage problems. We discussed…read morecreating a swale to divert a large flow of water during heavy rainstorms away from my foundation out to a lower elevation in my yard. On the day of the job, the workers found tree roots that blocked them from digging out the swale. No one spoke to me about this. So instead of a swale, they dumped a lot of river rocks and made it look like a swale was there. I got suspicious and cleared away the rocks and found that at most they had cleared away the dead leaves. I contacted Carter Hughes about this and he said, Ya because of the roots we could only do what we could do. I asked Carter to look at it with me, but I never saw him again. So I contacted a tree company to have the tree taken down and remove the tree and take out the roots. Then I contacted Carter again and asked that once I had the tree out, he should send someone to complete the swale work. After a while going around and around with him on the phone, I realized he had no intention of completing the work, and it was useless asking. I don't believe that just putting the rock down to look like a swale and then never mentioning to me about the problem with the roots was at all an open way to do business.

I was skeptical, because it was very clear to me that in his mind, the review was the problem (as opposed to my overall customer experience), but I eventually agreed. With John overseeing the project, my yard now reflects what my original expectations were. He manicured the bushes in my back yard beautifully - quickly, accurately, and non-invasively. I was floored at how expertly the work was done and how efficiently everything went. The communication level was good, and he was pleasant throughout the work. He showed up with his team the morning the work was scheduled, and explained to me that the sod could not be cut and installed until the day after (due to heavy rains), and would it be okay to come by and install it tomorrow? Thank you for the notice, and yes, certainly! :) In my front yard, which is patchy due to water damage, they installed the sod, and the yard looks really good now. They installed mulch around my front tree, and it looks very picturesque. I would not hesitate to contact John Hughes for another project if it came up. Thanks, John!

This was my first engagement with Olive Branch Service LLC. My neighbor recommended them based on…read moretheir excellent concrete work on her parking pad. I bought a rowhouse with a 1 car garage and gravel parking pad. The garage had quite a bit of deferred maintenance over the decade or so since it was built. The roof leaked. There was cracked plastic siding, some wood rot to the underlying plywood, and rotting exterior trim. The concrete garage floor was badly cracked and poorly repaired, allowing water in during the winter that would froze on the garage floor. Olive Branch did an excellent job removing and replacing the roof with upgraded architectural shingles. They replaced rotten plywood and trim, installed a vapor barrier, then re-sided the garage with upgraded Hardiplank siding. The concrete floor was demoed, removed and hauled off, then the garage floor and gravel parking pad were replaced with high-strength cement. A new french drain along the garage door keeps the rain out. The estimate was clear, accurate, and reasonable. The service was spot-on. Work crews showed up on time and didn't leave a mess. Tim oversaw all the work and ensured the job went as planned. He made sure all those minor hiccups that happen in every job were resolved to my satisfaction. I'm very pleased with the outcome and will definitely use Olive Branch again for my next exterior project.
