At 9:00 a.m. that day, I received an appointment confirmation email that asked me to confirm, which I did. David never appeared. No one emailed or called me - they just left me waiting for nothing. Ghosting a potential or current customer is the most unprofessional thing a company can do, and shows their complete disregard for you by wasting your time. They could have declined the appointment or reached out to say they did not want this work, and anyone would understand that. This was rude and a huge red flag about their business model. They inadvertently did me a favor and have sent me elsewhere.

Highly recommend Robert and the team. They've done two projects for me and both were wonderful…read more The first was attaching an irrigation system to a new water meter. They helped me navigate the permitting process for the new water meter, had it connected, and tested it with the town. The second was fixing drainage issues in the yard. Rob walked around the property and was able to determine where to best place catch basins/connect gutters to reduce run-off. The project was completed in two days, and I haven't had drainage issues since! The team is reliable and the work is done to a high standard. I appreciated how they were able to keep much of the grass intact, it was hard to tell where the work was done after a few weeks. They also stand by their work. One of the gutter drainage pipes surfaced slightly after a storm, and the team came back out and re-buried it at no charge.

We have had the pleasure of working with Evan Blewett at not one but two homes. When we bought our…read morehouse in Cary in 1997, Evan turned our front yard into a showplace. It was beautiful with something blooming nearly year round. Best of all, it was easy to maintain, reflecting the fact that we had little knowledge of plants and little time to care for them. At our new home, Evan took the confusing collection left behind by the four homeowners before us and turned it into something better that we'd asked for. The back yard, which had a row of high bushes in the middle of it, looked twice as big when Evan was through. The front yard was confused and confusing. When Evan was done, it was simple but elegant. Evan listened to what we said we wanted and made great suggestions along the way, meeting with us several times before he began his work. He helped us get the irrigation system in shape and planted so that everything was easily watered. Last but not least, Evan stayed within our budget limitations. We really enjoyed working with him and recommend him without reservation.

Evan sold us on his vision of a solution to our water issues, while at the same time upgrading the visual appeal of our property through pruning, plant and shrub removal and installation of a variety of new plantings. Evan and his crew delivered everything as promised and on time. We found him to be honest, professional, collaborative, extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. We would not hesitate to recommend LandArts and Evan Blewett to anyone looking for such a service.

They eventually took care of those issues without additional cost, but only after attempting to charge me extra which I declined. (Materials didn't work for the wall and they had to dig more than expected due to grade). That's not the customers fault! They finished around the patio with soil beds per my request, but did not dig the grass out before hand. I assume a professional landscaper would know better, so they either aren't very knowledgeable or they did it intentionally. Months later I am battling Bermuda grass daily, and I am going to have to dig it all out myself and redo the topsoil and mulch beds. I tried reaching out because it wasn't done correctly, but I was given a bs excuse and they would not admit their fault. *Edit to the owners reply* - There is not 6 inches of screens below the dirt, only the areas closest to the patio. You can come look for yourself if you don't believe me. While you are here, look at my other beds that I've had for two years and tell me how much Bermuda grass is growing in there. If you are correct I will delete my review and move on. Also, I have been maintaining it more than weekly to try to stay on top of it. I know how to maintain a yard. I left for vacation for two weeks and this is what I returned to, which is why the review was left just now. You are correct that I should have contacted you sooner, but I also expected with the shoddy work, and the 1 year warranty, Grounds Guys would uphold their end.
