Written from a customer who has worked with Garrett Landscape Development for a few years on…read morevarious projects. I really wanted to give this business a phenomenal review, but after taking time to reflect on my experience, I unfortunately cannot. My 3 star explanation follows: 1st Star - the owner Scott Garrett comes out to give you an estimate. He is personable and does a thorough job. The estimate is also itemized, so you can see exactly what you are being charged for. This felt much more honest than having an arbitrary number handed to you. 2nd Star - we have spent approximately 40K on landscaping with Garrett over the last few years and most of the work has been stellar. In July 2019 we had a major project done to our driveway where it was extended approximately 5.5 feet on both sides with brick pavers. We have a large driveway and the job turned out fantastic. They also offer a lifetime warranty on the brick work for as long as we own our home. They stand by their brick work and that says a lot. 3rd Star - the crews sent were great. They were professional, worked diligently from 8 am - 5 pm, cleaned up every day, and did a wonderful job. No loud music, no littering, no sloppiness etc. Very respectful and hard working. Why I removed 2 Stars: 1st Star Removed - the large driveway project literally started an entire year after it was supposed to. It went from starting in July 2018 to being pushed back until July 2019. Garrett initially ordered different brick pavers from a company other than the one my husband and I signed off on. It was not an issue to get the original / correct pavers, but it pushed the job back. Other factors- not on our part, also kept pushing the job. We were patient and understanding, however it was an inconvenience (trips postponed, multiple parties scheduled around when the job was supposed to be completed but hadn't even begun, etc). 2nd Star Removed - the large driveway project took longer than what they estimated and as a result a smaller job that was part of the bill was completed in a sub par manner. We were supposed to have a "decorative boulder wall" created near one corner of our house, and what we received was not my idea of a boulder wall. We received approximately 10 rocks, sized 12" tall X 12-15" wide, set down around an already cleaned, existing bed, with mulch tossed on top. We were charged $1495 for something that truthfully, I could have done myself in an hours time (I already had the bed weeded, cleaned and prepped). I feel that since the main driveway project went over the time they estimated it would take, the "decorative boulder wall" was disregarded and we were shortchanged on it. It was such an upsetting way to end the working relationship I thought I had cultivated with Garrett. In the end, I feel that being patient and understanding didn't fare well and that being firm and more assertive would have yielded better results.

Yikes! Run, do not walk away from this company. Just spent half hour on the phone with the owner…read moretrying to get information about spraying they intend to do on our property. Because we live in an area with an HOA, Mrs Garrett would not agree to no spraying on my property or tell me when spraying is scheduled. She said that they will spray chemicals because the contract is with HOA. I explained to her that the area in question is not property of HOA, but my property and she became increasingly rude. Ecologically nasty and interpersonally.... I'm still shocked.

I have hired several different landscaping companies to do various kinds of brick sidewalks and…read morepatios and Salient is head and shoulders above all of them. First, they don't cut corners on the prep. Many of the less expensive companies save on the labor involved in creating a proper base. If this isn't done right, the work won't last. Michigan's winters are tough and poor prep means you'll be looking at having your patio or brick walk redone if five years. I watched their prep on our stacked stone wall and know it was done right. We couldn't be happier with the final product, look forward to enjoying our transformed back yard for many years to come! I highly recommend Salient!

His creativity and professionalism made the planning process easy and exciting. The team, led by Youssef, demoed the deck and built a stunning paver patio with lights, pergola, and walkway. They kept the area tidy, worked hard every day, and were always polite and considerate. The final result is beyond anything I expected. I'm so grateful for their work and highly recommend them to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space.

Recently, I have been getting behind in my yard work due to my job responsibilities (and general…read morelaziness) and decided to look into a local lawn mowing service. Fresh Cutz turned out to be that and so much more. So far, they have completely refreshed my front and back yard through a combination of trimming, removing poison ivy, removing several dead trees/bushes, and weeding my flower bed (along with mowing). I have used other local landscaping services to clean up my yard, and my bills have been in the thousands; Fresh Cutz was in the hundreds. With the excellent quality and reasonable prices, I will gladly continue to use their service moving forward.

I hired Good Guys Lawn Care for core aeration and overseeding and provided payment information in…read moreadvance. Weeks later, I contacted the company asking when the service would be performed because I had received no completion notice, no door hanger, and saw no evidence that the work had been done. I was then told the service had actually been completed a month earlier and my card was charged. When I raised concerns, the company relied on GPS records showing a truck at my property but could not provide photos from my property, despite telling me that photos are normally taken. What disappointed me most was the way the issue was handled. At no point did anyone offer to come to the property, walk the lawn with me, inspect the results, or independently verify my concerns. Instead, I was left with a charged credit card and no confidence that I received the service I paid for. Most importantly, there was never any visible evidence that the aeration and overseeding had occurred, and there still isn't. More than a month later, the lawn shows no meaningful signs of new grass growth, improvement, or change. Whether the work was not performed or was performed so poorly that it produced no observable result, the outcome was the same from my perspective: I paid for a service and saw no evidence that it benefited my lawn. The office staff was polite throughout the process, but based on my experience, I would not use this company again.
