He chipped the spruce along with a huge amount of the maple trees. Even though there was tons of usable wood on 5inch diameter branches. He also said he would cut the trees into rounds for me. He didn't do this. When I called to ask him when he was coming back to cut the trees into rounds he said that wasn't part of the deal and it would be another $400 to do so. He never gave me a written estimate, he only gave me a verbal estimate and his cost was only $100-$200 less than other estimates I received. He clearly stated he was going to cut the trees into rounds the first time he came out to give me an estimate. --Don't go with this guy. He doesn't keep his word.

We have done a lot of work to get the grounds to where they are now, from expanding my irrigation system, construction of fire pits and patio work, to completely transforming two neglected fields into a beautiful lush lawn. Literally ripping up fields and new lawn install from scratch - a ton of work. Nothing beats pulling into my driveway and seeing my lawn looking like a golf course. They even cut perfect lines with the weekly mowes. I receive a lot of compliments on it. His prices are very reasonable and it's nice having a "one stop shop" that can handle literally any outside project that comes to mind. HIGHLY recommend!

Shawn McCarthy came out once but over the past 2.5 months he's promised quotes and calls back whenever I reach out every week, but he's yet to follow through on anything. I also found Concord messed up when our HOA had them do work around my unit and they threw out a couple hundred dollars of my patio stones and when I tried to follow up about getting reimbursed again it was total silence.

I recommend them without limit. It has been a pleasure to work with their team.

We hired a Blade of Grass for the design phase of a substantial landscape renovation and paid the…read morerequired $6,500 design retainer. After the initial meetings, we received a preliminary conceptual rendering and budget estimate. Unfortunately, we felt the design did not adequately address several key elements of the project--particularly the hardscape and deck redesign, which remained largely undefined--and did not reflect the level of development we expected from the design process outlined in the contract. We therefore decided not to proceed further. What was most disappointing was not simply that the design failed to meet our expectations, but that after I wrote a detailed and respectful letter to the company's CEO explaining our concerns about the value received for the design fee, I never received any response. Everyone we interacted with was courteous and professional, and I appreciate the time invested by the design team. However, based on our experience, prospective clients should clearly understand that the design retainer is non-refundable and may represent the full cost of a preliminary concept if they decide not to continue with the project.

I have been using Smart Landscaping for years and was previously happy with the service. This year…read morehas been the worst year working with them and I will no longer work with them. Here are some of the reasons: - They never notify us when they are coming so if we do not take our lights down in our bushes, they end up destroyed as they say in their contract they are not responsible. We have had to replace several lights and also ripped furniture covers. I watch the crew just rush through the work without any regards to quality or our things and do not care if they destroy them. - They supposedly removed weeds, however we ended up with poisonous India Poke weed in our flower beds. - Our lawn had several yellow spots and despite reaching out to them about it I never heard back. - We do not do lawn mowing with them and they mowed our lawn with the Fall clean up and charged us for this without asking. It was not outlined in the contract that they would do a lawn mowing with fall clean up. Its unfortunate that this service has gone down hill. I liked working with them for years and had been happy with them in the past and hopefully this review will help them adjust their practices.

They began my project in May of this year and promised to complete the work by June 20th. However, they didn't finish the pool until the end of August. I also paid for a customized cover for the pool, but the owner kept giving me different excuses and repeatedly told me, "next week," just like he did about the pool. I also paid for in-ground outlets, which he insisted would be done at the end of the job, but he later claimed that the electrician couldn't do it because the inspection had already been completed. I would never recommend this company to anyone. The owner will say one thing today and deny it later. Please be cautious if you consider hiring them.

I got off the phone thought about it and decided to send him a detailed text message telling him I would not be using his service and why what's my main reason being how rude he was and his unprofessionalism, stated "you can just go home" and wishing him luck on All future endeavors. Thinking that was the end of it it wasn't until over an hour later when I picked up my phone and had received multiple text messages stating how "it was a great price" "I should be thankful" he's got trucks breaking down constantly"" there's a lot of snow" "long day and too much work""we have work for like 5 months crazy" "I'm very professional" The only thing I can say good that came out of this whole situation was the company I ended up working with after not only were they two of the nicest guys I've ever have the pleasure of working with. Charged me less than half the price quoted by s&g they text me informing updates as to their progress with getting to me and did an amazing job. A shining example true professionalism.

We decided to go with Littleton Earthworks after speaking to a number of different landscaping…read moreconstruction companies and Earthworks exceeded our expectations. Our yard is probably one of the most challenging yards you could imagine, set on a steep slope with a septic mound taking up the majority of the backyard which makes it difficult to do much with the space. We had recently purchased a new construction property and the seller (Justin Smith, The Homescout, LLC) bailed on the outdoor work before it was completed leaving us with a poorly built, unpermitted retaining wall and considerable grading and drainage issues. Littleton Earthworks came to the rescue and helped us mitigate many of the issues with creativity and thoughtfulness that we didn't see from the any of the other companies we spoke with. Dan from Earthworks proposed some great solutions and seemed to enjoy thinking through how to solve the problems at hand. The end result was so much better than we could have imagined and the regrading gave us a significant addition of usable space in the backyard. And, when we had a tropical storm come through the day after work was completed Dan came back with his crew to reseed and install an erosion control blanket for a nominal price, really going above and beyond. Everyone on the Earthworks team was great to work with and super nice, we couldn't have been happier with the service and the results. I would not hesitate to recommend Dan and his wonderful team!
