I have used Josh's snow plowing services for several years when nature dumped too much for me to…read morehandle and he has always been responsive. This summer I hired him to do some extensive yardwork involving mitigating a swampy area and clearing out an overgrown area including a rather large dead tree and regrading the area. He also did some major tree trimming about the property. All of these jobs were done extremely well, at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner. Clean-up was thorough. Josh and his men were professional and friendly. I like hiring local and it's great to know he is available to do the kind of work that so often pops up on a rural property.

We have experienced two tree removals with Josh. One was three years ago when our next-door…read moreneighbor hired him and we shared the cost with her, as the tree was at the property line. The other was last week when she hired him to remove a dead ash that was threatening our home. Both times he did the job properly but was rude in the process. On this occasion, we spoke with him by phone about his plans to go all the way across our property and onto our driveway in order to remove the debris. He reluctantly agreed to take the shorter route on our neighbor's property, but when he arrived he started to set up in front of our house. It took several attempts and the threat to deny permission to access our property before he finally became civil and did as we asked. The tree which was very tall and difficult to remove came down with only a little damage to our oak, but Josh never acknowledged or apologized for his rude behavior. The bottom line is that if you want a skilled tree service with seasaoned workers, and you don't mind being treated badly, Josh is your man.

He also provided options, explanations, shared what he would do if the decision was his, and referred me to other specialists in the area depending on the route I decide to take.

We hired Greenscene to renovate our backyard, picking up where a previous contractor left off…read more Greenscene Construction built the fence along the south side of our property, a new 8'x8' pergola with a skylight and metal roof, and a sauna pad with larch border and river stone within. Following that, we hired Greenscene Lawn and Garden to install a crushed aggregate driveway with bluestone walking path, backyard sod with mulch borders, garden beds, natural stonework around our pergola and various plantings. Their landscape architect Kali helped us pick out and buid the vision of the plantings. The construction team was great, and although the pergola did leak they were committed to fixing it and eventually completely replaced the substrate and reinstalled the metal roof to guarantee we would not have any leaks. They were very receptive to my punch list requests at the end of the job and fixed everything I asked for. The landscaping team was incredible. They were in and out in 4 days then spent a few extra days buttoning things up. They gave us detailed watering instructions and left sprinklers and hoses for the sod to establish itself, and stopped by to check on the status frequently. We have been thrilled with the service and are looking forward to seeing the plantings coming to life.

When they first furnished the quote to landscape our property, they provided full color pictures of what it would eventually look like. Those pictures, which I still have, look nothing like the end result. No vibrant reds or yellows. A lilac bush which refuses to blossom. We even watered the flowers and vegetation per their instructions. They did a good job laying paving stones around the pool area at the rear of the house and filling gaps with additional stone. But the front and sides of the house are just "blah." No beautiful, colorful flowers bursting forth like the promised photos. Green Scene charges top dollar for their services and we hired them based on neighboring residences and their landscapes. I expected a better result for the price I paid. Live and learn.

I used this contractor to put in a 1000 ft of crush rock driveway, connection to the County Sewer…read moreand town water and RGE electrical line up to our future house position. The contractor has a lot of new equipment and our first meeting for a quote I was impressed by his knowledge of the job as we went over the Approved Engineering Plan (EP). He talked me into doing the job as time and material and my only concern at the time was the distance him and his workers had to travel, versus more local companies. Before I agreed to enter into a contract with him, I requested an estimate of what all the work would cost per the EP, that quote was $160,000 and I figure it up to $200,000, as that is what I had quotes from other contractors locally. Since the owner was more impressive than others I talked too, I agreed to the Time and Material cost contract, which in hind sight was a big mistake. This job included grubbing the land up to and around the future house position, along with the driveway, and utilities run from the main road and all precautions that come with a construction site. The job was supposed to be completed per the the Owner of the company by the end of October 2023. The first month went well with a few glitches, but when we got closer to the end of October with not even half the job complete, then he had help issues, equipment issues and a lot of other excuses, then it was supposed to be December, then January and it was completed by March 2024 with two main items still not completed per the EP. During this time I was supposed to be getting an itemized monthly bill to keep track of what money I was providing him. The first Invoice I received was 3 Oct, but after that I had to refuse to pay him anymore, if I did not receive an itemized bill from Oct to 31 Jan 2024. By that time I had provided him $312,000 and told him this project is way over budget and he was draining my saving that I had for building on the property. Total paid before final Itemized bill $456K itemized bill showed less.

The knowledge and care for trees was quite evident, so we agreed to the work. They stacked the unsaleable wood neatly and in a convenient place for us to cut and split.

Though it was Sunday, Tim from Brazo A-Z Landscaping and Snow Removal replied within minutes and said he could plow the driveway on Monday for what seemed a very reasonable price. On Monday, Tim found that a contractor's truck was blocking the driveway. He called and said he could return later that day and see if the truck was gone. He went over Monday evening and was able to plow the driveway for no extra charge. My sister-in-law was thrilled with the job Tim had done and happy not to have to shovel. I highly recommend Tim and Brazo A-Z for going the extra mile to finish the job for a good price.
